The value of investments can go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invest. Cryptoassets are volatile and you should only invest money you can afford to lose.

Risk Management for New Investors

Risk management for new investors: position size, cash buffers, diversification, and the rules that prevent a first year from becoming a last year.

Risk Management for New Investors

Risk management for new investors is not a spreadsheet cult. It is a short list of rules that keep you in the game. The market does not care that you are new. Your position sizes should.

Cash is a position

An emergency fund is risk management. If rent lives in Bitcoin, you do not have an investment plan. You have a countdown.

Size beats prediction

You will be wrong sometimes. A 5% position that goes badly is a lesson. A 60% position that goes badly is a lifestyle change. Write maximum weights before you buy.

Diversify for real

Ten crypto tokens is still a crypto bet. Mix asset classes: stocks for growth, metals for ballast, crypto only if you accept the ride — each with a cap.

No leverage while learning

Borrowed money turns volatility into a trapdoor. Learn unlevered first.

Process over tips

Identity verification, a regulated platform, 2FA, and a review calendar are risk tools. So is ignoring guaranteed-return DMs. Orizon Invest is built so the operational side of that list is not scattered.
