Yes, that is correct. Short-term investments are typically those that have a maturity period of one year or less. They can include investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and money market funds. These investments are generally more volatile and subject to market fluctuations because they have a shorter time horizon for earning returns.
Which one is less risky short term or long term investment?

I also think that short term investments are more risky than long term investments because in long term you focus on fundamentals of a project but sometimes short term investments are about emotions.
It is generally sponzee scheme where you are required for pay money so for 105 % after 1 day or 3 % for 60 days, this is not case of investment but they are using old people funds for pay new ones.
I am not talking about such investments, I talk about investments that you do it by yourself, for example doing researches on a crypto, buying it from an exchange and holding it for years.
It depends on the nature of the investment because sometimes a short-term investment may be riskier than long-term.
Short term investment is better because it will limit risk to the barest minimum.
We do feel that these are better but actually these does not work everytime and in the long term investment we can expect better growth
I don't think short-term investments really limit risk, look how the market is right now, it has fallen 5% in the space time of an hour yesterday, the short term has never been better than the long term in most investments, any expert investor can tell you this, which I am not.
