Probability of risk

Chances of danger or loss, particularly of property covered by an insurance policy or property being used or transported by another. Insurance companies assume the risk of loss and calculate their premiums by the value and the risk based on statistically determined chances. A trucking company assumes the risk of loss while carrying goods.[Law Dictionary]

"The degree of risk is minimal. All investments have/involve an element of risk."
"The trip didn't seem like much of a risk."
