risk of ruin
Definition
A catastrophic risk where the possibility of the kind of loss made is so great that the business cannot be sustained. In this case, the loss exceeds the profit and even overrides the capital of the business, which most likely leads to bankruptcy. Hence, the greater the capital involved in the investment the higher the percentage risk of ruin.
