Risk-averse
Definition 1
Investing conservatively.
Definition 2
Wanting to avoid Risk unless adequately compensated for it;
the attitude of most investors. For example, if two investments have the same expected return, the one with lower Risk will be preferred. A riskier investment has to have a higher Expected return in Order to provide an incentive for a Risk-averse investor to select it.
