Answer:
<u>Price</u> risk is the risk of a decline in a bond's value due to an increase in interest rates. This risk is higher on bonds that have long maturities than on bonds that will mature in the near future.
<u>Reinvestment</u> risk is the risk that a decline in interest rates will lead to a decline in income from a bond portfolio. This risk is obviously high on callable bonds. It is also high on short-term bonds because the shorter the bond's maturity, the fewer the years before the relatively high old-coupon bonds will be replaced with new low-coupon issues.
Which type of risk is more relevant to an investor depends on the investor's <u>investment horizon</u>, which is the period of time an investor plans to hold a particular investment.
