What are the risks?

While we’re investing in industry leaders and in the diverse portfolio, main risk we see is low spending from customers due to inflation and federal issues going on in the capital. Federal shutdown has affected the sentiments of the American public and there’s a sense of fear prevalent. While this is risk that will negatively influence the stock market, risk will be spread across the industry and all the stocks, still our diversified portfolio will give good returns.
