systematic risk investment & finance definition
A widespread risk that can’t
be avoided by diversifying investments. Examples of systematic risk are wars,
rising inflation, and turbulent political events. Some effects of systematic
risk can be minimized through asset allocation techniques and diversification
because different portions of the market tend to underperform at different
times. Also called market risk.
