The equilibrium risk-return relationship describes the investment/saving decision of a person based on risk versus return. Generally, a rational person maximises their outcome such that the last unit cost of a little more risk is equal to the incremental return on an investment. Since the cost of risk is an expectation due to uncertainty, different individuals value risk at different levels. A risk-adverse individual will choose a lower equilibrium value of investment/saving because their expected incremental costs from risk are higher than a less risk-adverse person.
