Risk-Prone

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Risk-prone
Willing to pay money to assume risk from others.

Risk-Loving
Describing an investor who is willing to take big risks to increase the potential return on investments. For example, a risk loving investor would be more likely to invest in the IPO of a company with a new and exciting product about which little is known, than to invest in a secured bond issued by a well known and widely trusted company. Critics maintain that risk loving investors accept lower returns for their risk and, as such, are not investing efficiently. See also: Markowitz efficient portfolio.

For those living on the frontline--the most vulnerable communities living in risk-prone parts of the world--every day wasted could mean a step closer to food or water insecurity; communities having to move to secure adequate and safe services; or even whole regions emptying as they become unable to sustain life.
