Abstract: The subject of this research is the category of risk of the investment portfolio. Currently, stock market is one of the key structural elements of financial system of any country’s economy. Investing into the market financial assets can benefit both, legal and private entities. Competent management of the investment portfolio allow obtaining an acceptable level of income; however, suggests a qualitative and quantitative risk analysis accompanying the investment process. The complexity of risk phenomena, represented by multiple ambiguously related factors, peculiarities of manifestation of risk in different spheres of activities of economic entities, substantiate the need for a comprehensive examination of these factors and application of its results in risk management practice of the organization as a whole, as well as within the framework of its investment activity in particular. This article is dedicated to the analysis of classification of risks faced by the investor in terms of formation of securities portfolio. The author proposed the definition of financial risk that allows reflecting the multiplicity of its form at the level of an independent investment or investment portfolio. The scientific novelty lies in formulation of the definition of financial risk of the investment portfolio as the system of qualitatively irreducible factors, each of which characterizes potentially unfavorable set of circumstances accompanying the investment process, as well as overcoming the traditional for investment analysis direct identification of risk with volatility of qualitative factors defining both, an independent investment, as well as investment portfolio.
