risk-averse

Apt to avoid risk when possible. Kathryn was my daredevil child, always jumping off of something she shouldn't have climbed on in the first place. My youngest, though, is completely risk-averse—which is a nice gift to my sanity! You'll never make money if you're completely risk-averse when making decisions about your business.
