Property vs Shares: Which is Actually Riskier?⎥Ep. 2220

From The Property Academy Podcast Opes Partners

Most Kiwis ask the wrong question when it comes to investing – they focus on returns, not risk.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down what “risk” actually means in investing (and why your home might be riskier than you think).

You’ll learn:

How to actually measure investment risk (with one simple equation).
What the “standard deviation” is… and why it’s the most important concept you’ve never heard of.
How to compare the volatility of shares vs property, and what it means for your portfolio.

Understand your risk before you invest. Learn how to calculate it for your own plan with this in-depth guide to property investment risk.

And here is the link to the article Ed mentioned 'How risky is property vs shares vs managed funds?'
