High Risk Investments for 2026

High Risk Investments Guide

Analysis by Andrew Blumer, Updated and fact-checked by Senad Karaahmetovic, Last updated – August 22, 2026

High Risk Investments

I have spent time looking at high risk investments because the potential returns can be difficult to ignore. What I learned very quickly is that the possibility of making substantially more money normally comes with an equally real possibility of losing a large percentage of the original investment. I wrote this guide from that practical perspective, using numerical examples to show what the gains and losses can actually look like rather than simply describing an investment as risky.

For example, if I put £10,000 into a diversified investment and it falls 10%, I am left with £9,000. That is uncomfortable but manageable. If I put the same £10,000 into a speculative cryptocurrency, leveraged trade or small startup and it falls 70%, I am left with just £3,000. I would then need a return of approximately 233% on the remaining £3,000 just to get back to £10,000. That mathematics is one of the biggest lessons I have taken from looking at high risk investments.

High Risk Investments Compared

When I compare high risk investments, I do not look only at how much money I could potentially make. I also consider how easily I could lose money, whether I can sell the investment when I want to, whether leverage is involved and whether there is a realistic possibility of losing my entire investment. I have included additional investments in the table because high risk investing extends considerably beyond cryptocurrencies, penny stocks and Forex.

This high risk investment guide is only for you to learn about the risks and is in no way financial advice. The numerical examples are illustrations rather than predictions of future returns. High risk investments can result in substantial or complete losses. I believe it is important to research every investment carefully and, where appropriate, speak with a qualified financial adviser before investing.

Demystifying Risk and Reward

One of the biggest mistakes I can make with high risk investing is focusing on the upside while treating the downside as an abstract possibility. I prefer putting actual numbers against both outcomes.

Suppose I invest £5,000 in a speculative asset. If it rises 100%, I have £10,000 and have made £5,000. If it falls 80%, however, I have only £1,000 remaining. Recovering from £1,000 to my original £5,000 requires a 400% return. A large percentage loss therefore becomes progressively harder to recover from.

This is why I think about risk in pounds as well as percentages. Asking whether I can tolerate a 50% loss sounds theoretical. Asking whether I am comfortable seeing £10,000 become £5,000 makes the decision much more tangible.

The Power of Diversification

Diversification is one of the most useful ways I have found to put high risk investments into perspective. Rather than thinking about whether one speculative investment will succeed, I look at what its failure would do to the entire portfolio.

For example, imagine I have a £100,000 investment portfolio and allocate £5,000 to a very high risk investment. If that £5,000 becomes worthless, my portfolio has lost 5% before considering movements elsewhere. If I instead allocate £40,000 to the same investment and it becomes worthless, 40% of my portfolio has disappeared.

I therefore see position size as just as important as investment selection. A risky investment occupying 2% of a portfolio creates a very different overall risk from the same investment occupying 50% of it.

Exploring the Realm of Alternative Investments

I have found that alternative investments can be attractive because they offer opportunities outside conventional shares and bonds. They can include private companies, crowdfunding, hedge funds, private credit, collectibles, commodities and specialist property investments.

The difficulty is that alternative investments are often harder to value and harder to sell. A listed share might be sold during normal market hours, whereas a private startup investment could remain locked up for five or ten years. That liquidity difference is something I consider part of the investment risk rather than a separate issue.

Crowdfunding: Unleashing the Power of the Crowd

Crowdfunding was one of the areas that showed me how different an exciting business opportunity can look from an investment perspective. A company might have a great product, enthusiastic customers and ambitious growth plans while still being an extremely risky investment.

For example, if I invest £1,000 into each of five early stage businesses, my total investment is £5,000. Imagine three eventually fail and become worth £0, one returns my original £1,000 and one grows enough for my investment to become £8,000. I would end up with £9,000 from my original £5,000 despite most of the companies failing.

The problem is that there is no guarantee of finding that successful company. All five businesses could fail, leaving the £5,000 investment worth nothing. Even when a business succeeds, I might not be able to sell my shares for years.

Equity crowdfunding gives me ownership in a company, while debt crowdfunding generally involves lending money in exchange for potential interest payments. I treat the two differently because the risks and potential returns are different, but both require careful examination of the business, valuation, finances and exit opportunities.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Companies: Huge Potential and Extreme Volatility

Cryptocurrency is probably the clearest example I have encountered of why volatility matters. Large price movements can happen much faster than they do with many conventional investments.

If I invest £2,000 in a cryptocurrency and its price increases 150%, my holding becomes £5,000. That potential return is obviously attractive. However, if the same cryptocurrency falls 75%, my £2,000 becomes only £500.

I also distinguish between owning cryptocurrency and investing in companies involved with blockchain technology. A blockchain company has business risks such as revenue, competition, management and profitability. A cryptocurrency has a different combination of adoption, liquidity, technology, custody, regulatory and market sentiment risks.

Security is another factor I cannot ignore. Losing access credentials, interacting with a fraudulent project or using an insecure service can potentially create losses independently of what happens to the market price.

Navigating the Forex Market: A High Stakes Game

Forex trading became much easier for me to understand once I stopped looking at small currency movements and started looking at what leverage does to them. A currency pair moving 1% does not sound particularly dramatic, but leverage can completely change the financial outcome.

As a simplified example, £1,000 controlling £20,000 of market exposure represents 20 times exposure relative to the initial £1,000. A favourable 2% movement on £20,000 represents £400 before costs, which is equivalent to 40% of the original £1,000. A 2% movement in the wrong direction also represents a £400 loss.

That is why I view leverage as a multiplier rather than free additional buying power. It magnifies mistakes just as effectively as it magnifies successful trades. Spreads, overnight financing costs and rapid currency movements can further affect the result.

Options Trading: Small Premiums Can Hide Large Risks

Options attracted my attention because a relatively small amount of money can provide exposure to a much larger underlying position. The tradeoff is that options introduce additional variables including the strike price, expiry date, volatility and time decay.

For example, suppose I pay £300 for an option. If the trade works exceptionally well and the option rises to £900, I have made £600, representing a 200% return on the £300 premium. If the option expires worthless, however, I lose the entire £300.

I also recognise an important distinction between buying and selling options. When buying certain options, the premium paid can define the maximum loss. Some option selling strategies can create substantially larger potential losses. For that reason I would never treat every options strategy as having the same risk profile.

Penny Stocks and Micro Cap Companies

Penny stocks can produce extraordinary percentage movements, which is exactly what makes them attractive and dangerous. A share moving from 10p to 30p has increased 200%, turning £1,000 into £3,000 before dealing costs. A fall from 10p to 2p represents an 80% decline and leaves the same £1,000 investment worth only £200.

What concerns me most with very small companies is not simply volatility. Trading volumes can be limited, company information can be harder to assess and the difference between the price buyers will pay and sellers will accept can be substantial. Seeing a quoted market price does not always mean I could sell a large position at that exact price.

Startup and Angel Investments

Private startup investing offers some of the largest theoretical returns I can find, but it also comes with the possibility that the investment becomes completely worthless. If I invest £5,000 at an early valuation and the value of my holding eventually increases tenfold, it could become £50,000. If the company runs out of cash, my £5,000 could become £0.

I also have to consider dilution. If a startup repeatedly issues new shares to raise additional capital, my percentage ownership can decline unless I participate in later funding rounds. A company becoming more valuable therefore does not automatically mean my original ownership percentage remains unchanged.

Contracts for Difference and Other Leveraged Products

Contracts for Difference give traders leveraged exposure without necessarily owning the underlying asset. The feature I pay most attention to is again leverage because relatively small price movements can have a disproportionately large impact on the capital committed.

For example, if £2,000 provides exposure to a £10,000 position, a 5% movement in the underlying market represents £500. That is a 25% change relative to the £2,000 committed, before considering spreads, financing charges and other costs.

Repeated leveraged losses can reduce capital extremely quickly. Four separate £500 losses would consume the original £2,000 in this simplified example. That is why I place leveraged trading among the highest risk activities rather than treating it as ordinary investing.

Unveiling the Enigma of Hedge Funds: Complex Strategies for Sophisticated Investors

Hedge funds interest me because the term covers many different investment strategies. One fund might concentrate on equities while another trades currencies, commodities, derivatives or distressed debt. Some use substantial leverage while others focus more heavily on reducing market exposure.

The numbers I pay attention to include fees as well as performance. Suppose £100,000 grows by 10% before fees to £110,000. Management and performance fees can reduce the amount ultimately retained by the investor. Over several years, differences in fees can have a substantial compounding effect.

Liquidity can also be restricted. Unlike an ETF that I can normally trade on an exchange, some private funds may permit withdrawals only at specified intervals. I therefore consider access to my money alongside potential returns.

Inverse and Leveraged ETFs: A Double Edged Sword for Experienced Investors

Leveraged ETFs initially appear straightforward because they trade like ordinary ETFs, but their daily objectives make the longer term mathematics more complicated.

Consider a simplified example where an index starts at 100 and rises 10% to 110. The next day it falls 10%, leaving it at 99. Despite one 10% gain and one 10% loss, the index is down 1% overall.

A hypothetical product delivering twice the daily movement could rise 20% from 100 to 120 and then fall 20% from 120 to 96. It would be down 4%. This simple example helped me understand why I cannot assume a leveraged ETF will deliver an exact multiple of an index's longer term return.

Inverse ETFs introduce similar issues because they generally target inverse daily performance. I therefore consider these specialist trading instruments rather than straightforward replacements for conventional long term index funds.

High Yield Bonds

High yield bonds are another investment I would include because high risk does not only mean shares, crypto or leveraged trading. Companies with weaker credit profiles often need to offer investors higher interest rates to compensate for additional default risk.

For example, a £10,000 bond investment yielding 9% could theoretically produce £900 of annual interest before tax and costs. That income looks attractive compared with a bond yielding 4%, which would produce £400 on the same £10,000. However, the additional £500 of potential annual income has to be considered against the greater possibility that the issuer experiences financial problems and cannot repay all of the capital.

Emerging Market Investments

Emerging markets can offer exposure to economies and companies growing considerably faster than established markets, but I have learned that investment performance can be influenced by much more than the company itself. Political changes, currencies, inflation and local regulations can all affect returns.

If I invest £10,000 in an overseas market and the underlying investments rise 15%, the investment might appear to have grown to £11,500 before currency effects. If the foreign currency simultaneously weakens substantially against sterling, part or potentially all of that gain could disappear when I convert the investment back into pounds.

Collectibles and Alternative Assets

Art, watches, classic cars, trading cards and other collectibles can generate impressive returns, but I find them much harder to value than publicly traded investments. There is no guarantee that a buyer will be available when I want to sell.

If I purchase a collectible for £5,000 and later sell it for £8,000, the headline gain is £3,000 or 60%. My actual return could be lower after auction commissions, insurance, storage, authentication and transaction costs. If buyers disappear and the best offer is only £3,000, I am facing a 40% loss before those additional expenses.

Managing Risk in the High Risk Arena

The biggest practical lesson I have taken from studying high risk investments is that I cannot control what markets do, but I can control how much capital I expose to them.

If I have £50,000 and put the entire amount into one speculative investment, an 80% decline leaves me with £10,000. If I allocate £2,500, representing 5% of the portfolio, to the same investment and it becomes completely worthless, the direct loss from that position is £2,500 rather than £40,000.

I also pay attention to correlated risks. Owning five different cryptocurrencies does not necessarily give me meaningful diversification if all five tend to collapse together when sentiment towards cryptocurrency deteriorates. In the same way, owning several highly speculative technology companies can still leave a portfolio heavily exposed to one sector.

I prefer to decide how much I can afford to lose before making a speculative investment rather than after the price starts falling. I also consider liquidity, leverage, transaction costs, concentration and the circumstances that would cause me to exit the investment.

The Mathematics of Recovering From a Loss

Loss recovery is one of the most useful calculations I use when thinking about risk. The percentage return required to recover increases dramatically as losses become larger.

This table changed the way I think about speculative investing. Avoiding catastrophic losses can matter just as much as finding investments capable of producing exceptional gains.

The Final Word: High Risk Investments Are Not for Everyone

I can see why high risk investments attract investors. Turning £1,000 into £5,000 is much more exciting than earning a modest percentage return. What I have learned, however, is that the possibility of multiplying an investment normally exists because there is a meaningful possibility of losing most or all of it.

I therefore do not judge an investment purely by its maximum possible return. I look at what happens if I am wrong, how much I could lose, how quickly that loss could occur and whether I could actually sell the investment during difficult market conditions.

The Road Ahead: Resources and Considerations

I treat research as part of the investment rather than something to rush through before investing. With high risk assets in particular, I want to understand what I own, how returns are generated, what could cause the investment to fail and how I would eventually get my money back.

Financial Regulatory Bodies

I check the relevant regulatory environment before using an unfamiliar investment company, broker or platform. In the UK this can include checking the Financial Conduct Authority, while investors in the US can use resources provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other appropriate regulators.

I do not assume that regulation removes investment risk. A regulated investment can still lose money. I see regulatory checks as one part of due diligence rather than a guarantee of returns or safety.

Investment Publications and Websites

I prefer comparing information from several established financial sources rather than relying on a single article, influencer or online discussion. If somebody claims an investment could return 500%, I want to understand the assumptions behind that number and what would need to happen for the investment to lose 50%, 80% or 100% instead.

Financial Advisors

Professional financial advice can become particularly useful when investments involve leverage, derivatives, private companies, complex tax consequences or a substantial percentage of personal wealth. I would want any adviser I use to understand both the potential return and the downside of the specific investment being considered.

Beyond the Basics: Exploring Emerging Trends

High risk investing continues to evolve, particularly as technology makes previously inaccessible assets available to smaller investors. Greater accessibility can be useful, but I do not assume that an investment has become safer simply because I can now buy it through an app with £10 or £100.

Fractional Ownership

Fractional ownership makes expensive assets more accessible by dividing ownership between multiple investors. Instead of needing £100,000 to buy an entire asset, for example, I might be able to purchase a £1,000 fractional interest.

The smaller entry price does not remove the underlying risk. If the asset loses 30% of its value, my £1,000 interest could theoretically fall to approximately £700 before fees. I also need to understand whether a secondary market exists if I want to sell my fraction.

Real Estate Crowdfunding

Real estate crowdfunding can provide access to property developments without buying an entire property. If I invest £5,000 into a project targeting a 12% annual return, that could represent £600 over one year if the target were achieved. The word targeting is important because projected returns are not guaranteed.

A construction delay, falling property prices, higher financing costs or developer failure could reduce the return or result in a loss. Some projects can also lock investors in for several years, meaning I might not be able to withdraw my £5,000 simply because I need the money.

Private Credit

Private credit is another area I think deserves attention when discussing higher risk investments. Investors effectively provide financing outside traditional public bond markets, often in exchange for potentially higher income.

For example, £20,000 earning a hypothetical 10% annual return would generate £2,000 before fees and tax if everything went according to plan. The higher yield exists for a reason. Borrowers can default, loans can become difficult to value and the investment may not be easy to sell.

Commodities and Precious Metals

Commodities can also become high risk investments, particularly when leverage or concentrated positions are involved. Oil, natural gas, metals and agricultural commodities can experience substantial price movements because of supply, demand, weather, geopolitics and economic conditions.

If I put £5,000 into an unleveraged commodity investment and its value falls 20%, I lose £1,000. If I use a leveraged instrument to obtain several times that exposure, the same underlying market movement can create a much larger percentage loss on my original capital.

High Risk Investments: The Verdict

My main conclusion from exploring high risk investments is that potential return should never be separated from potential loss. A cryptocurrency capable of rising 300% may also fall 80%. A startup capable of returning ten times my investment may fail completely. A leveraged trade capable of producing a 50% gain quickly can potentially produce a similarly painful loss.

If I had £100,000 available to invest, there would be a major difference between putting £5,000 into speculative investments and putting the entire £100,000 into them. The investments themselves might be identical, but the consequences of being wrong would be completely different.

For me, that is the most important way to approach high risk investing. I want to understand the investment, understand the worst realistic outcome, understand the effect that outcome would have on my overall finances and only then consider the potential reward. High risk investments can produce exceptional returns, but they can also destroy capital remarkably quickly. I would rather miss an opportunity I do not understand than commit more money than I can afford to lose.
