When it comes to investing what is the typical relationship between risk and return? As described in the EverFi 9 module, the relationship between risk and return is the greater the risk, the smaller the potential return. Most would think the return would be greater, too, since we grow up hearing "the greater the risk the greater the reward". But, with investing and finance it can be totally different. Although when you invest in something that is risky, you tend to have a larger potential payout, the relationship is that it ends up being small due to the risk.
