Many of us have heard of typical investment risks, such as market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks, and concentration risks. But what is reinvestment risk? In today’s episode, we’ll explain what reinvestment risk is and how the fear of recent events might be driving this risk.

Between the pandemic, bank crashes, and high investment rates, it can be hard not to get caught up in recent bad news.
