On investing, there is always a risk element and the investment in shares is no exception. The risk here is related to the possible loss of some of the invested funds.

It is also possible that the company in which you have invested does not distribute dividend, which, however, does not mean that you lose. If the company’s activity is successful and it has invested in promising projects, which usually means higher profit expectations in the future and consequently allocation of high dividends.
