3. Definition of high rate of return and risk warning
1.Industry standards:In the traditional financial field, an annualized ROI exceeding 15% is considered a high return, but it must meet the following conditions:
- Sustainability (stable returns for at least 3 years)
- Risk exposure is controllable (maximum drawdown <20%)
- Liquidity meets the standard (fund redemption cycle ≤ 1 month)
2.Risk cases:About 73% of the recently discussed “ultra-high return” projects have fraud or unsustainability issues (data source: 2023 Early Warning Report of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission).
| Scam type | Claim ROI | Actual survival period |
|---|---|---|
| Ponzi fund plate | Monthly interest 10%-30% | average 6 months |
| fake digital currency | Daily interest rate 1%-5% | average 3 months |
4. Three major principles for looking at ROI rationally
1.Risk-benefit ratio:For every 1% additional return required, one should evaluate whether to accept a 2% increase in risk.
2.Time compound interest:With a stable annual return of 15%, the income can reach 4 times in 10 years, far exceeding short-term huge profits.
3.Decentralized configuration:It is recommended to control the proportion of high-ROI assets (such as stocks) within an acceptable risk range.
Conclusion:The nature of the return on investment is the art of risk pricing. According to the central bank's 2023 Q2 survey, the "ideal ROI" range in the eyes of professional investors is 8%-12%, which can outperform inflation without taking excessive risks. Investors need to keep in mind:Sustainable returns are truly high returns.
