Be realistic with investment returns expectation

Person 1: I want to double the value of my investment portfolio every four years. Ensures that I have a hefty nest egg for retirement in 20 years.

Person 2: You need to be more realistic with your expectation of investment returns. As you aim for higher returns, the downside risk increases too.

Person 1: So, I need to have a balance between the upside scope and the downside risk?

Person 2: Yes. Have a long-term investment plan towards building a reasonable nest egg.
