Kurtosis risk

Kurtosis risk is when a financial investment has the potential to make a profit, but has a lot of risks involved. It's like a game of poker: you could win a lot, but you could also lose a lot. The more risks involved, the higher the kurtosis risk. So it's important to make sure you understand the risks and know what you're getting into before you invest in something with a high kurtosis risk.
