3 Low-Risk Stocks for Conservative Investors
Risk can mean different things to different people. That's especially true when it comes to investing. For a retiree, risk can mean the likelihood a stock will decline in value. For a younger investor, it might mean the chances it goes bankrupt. That's why the most important part of investing is matching your portfolio to your risk tolerance.
With that in mind, I set out to find three stocks that could meet most investor's definition of low risk. I looked for companies with a strong market position, returning capital to shareholders, and management that telegraphs careful stewardship of capital. Here's why I chose Visa (NYSE: V), Accenture (NYSE: ACN) , and Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO).
