All investing carries some degree of risk, but understanding what risk actually means, and the different forms it takes, is one of the surest ways to become a better investor. This video explains why risk and volatility are not the same thing, and walks through the key types of investment risk: concentration, credit, liquidity, market (or systematic) risk, and inflation risk. You'll learn which risks you can diversify away and which you can't, why markets reward those who take on market risk, and why you need to weigh your need, willingness and ability to take risk carefully. Crucially, you'll also discover why being too cautious is a risk in its own right, because not taking enough risk can leave you short of what you need for the future.

Confirmation bias is our deep-seated tendency to seek out information that supports what we already believe, while dismissing anything that challenges it. For investors, it's a costly trap. This video explains what confirmation bias is, how it (along with overconfidence) helps explain why active investors consistently underperform the market, and why following your instincts can do so much damage. Featuring behavioural finance expert Tim Richards, it draws on Terrance Odean's landmark study of 10,000 US trading accounts to show why the stocks investors buy so often underperform the ones they sell, and why it's unrealistic to assume you have an edge over the millions of others who make up the market.
