vysokorizikových

The term vysokorizikových is a Czech compound adjective derived from the words vysoko ("high") and riziko ("risk"). It is used primarily to describe situations, investments, or assets that carry a substantially greater risk than the average or typical level. The word can be used attributively before a noun, as in vysokorizikové investice (high‑risk investments) or as part of a noun phrase in the genitive plural, such as řízení vysokorizikových projektů (management of high‑risk projects).

In Czech financial and economic discourse, vysokorizikových is frequently applied to securities, corporate bonds, derivatives, or debt instruments that have a higher probability of default or significant volatility. Regulatory bodies and investment analysts often classify these instruments as exceeding the threshold for "average risk" portfolios and flag them for stricter monitoring or higher capital requirements.

The term is also common in health and safety contexts, where it describes procedures or environments that pose a high chance of harm or injury. For example, dělnické pracovní podmínky vysokorizikové (high‑risk working conditions) can refer to workplaces involving hazardous chemicals, heavy machinery, or extreme weather.

Compatible synonyms in Czech include vysoké riziko, nebezpečné investice, a nebezpečné podmínky, while English equivalents are high‑risk, high­-risk, or high‑hazard. The adjective is usually employed in formal writing, policy documents, and professional reports.
