Risk and return are not a function together, but affect one another indirectly by determining optimal levels of investment. Return is roughly the benefit of investing money into assets; risk is part of the cost of investing that money (due to uncertainty). The varying levels of risk and return change the cost and benefit of investing, thus shifting the equilibrium values of investment.

A positive risk is something that you do that is dangerous but has a good potential outcome. An example is investing money.
Risk free rate of return or risk free return is calculated as the return on government securities of the same maturity.

Investing money will earn you more money. Savings accounts actually are a slight form of an investment, but the return isn't that great. Higher risk investments (such as the stock market), have a much greater return investment-wise.
risk is pre-stage for return...
The higher the risk, the higher the return.
The concept of risk and return analysis is integral to the process of investing and finance. All financial decisions invlove some risk. You may expect to get a return of 15% per annum in your investment but the risk of "not able to achieve 15% return" will always be there.Return is simply a reward for investing as all investing involves some risk.The greater the risk, the greater the return expected.The objective of risk and return analysis is to maximize the return by creating a balance of risk. For example, in case of working capital management, the less inventory you keep, the higher the expected return as less of your money is locked as asset.; but you also have a increased risk of running out of raw material when you actually need it for production or maintenance. Which means you loose sale. Thus all companies tries very hard to maintain an minimum investory as possible without effecting smooth production. This is a very commong expample of risk return trade-offIn case of an investment in shares/stocks, I as an investor accept to get a better return than fixed deposits but I am also ready to take risk of loosing my money in stock market.Hence important is to understand how much risk you can take and invest accordingly.A lay man shall ask himself:How much money I can put in stocks today, and even if I loose this money it will not affect my way of life? If your answer is $100 it means you are ready to take a risk for $100.How much return I expect from stock in next one year? if you want to make 12% per annum your expectation is real and you are taking a risk of $100 dollars to make 12% per annum.Bu doing this a lay man is calculating his risks and extimating a return on investment.
