               Financial Risks faced by Investors and Financial Institutions
                                    A. Risk Categories
                                                         “Systematic” or “Non-Diversifiable”
     Risk in finance is defined as the 
     difference  between  expected                 Arises from the market, affect the whole market and not 
     outcome  of  a  financial  activity             only an individual item or an individual investor.
     and  the  actual  outcome  that 
     occurs.  As  investors  expose 
     their capitals in potential losses, 
     they  demand  a  reward  for  the 
     risk bearing. The bigger the risk 
     they bear the higher will be the             The risk that each investor is exposed to, as an individual 
     demanded return.                             unit. This part of risk arises from the investors’ decisions for 
                                                       the assets that they hold in their portfolios.
       Risk is divided in two parts:
