Investments are bound to risk. And taking a risk must be rewarded.

Err, no. Risk taking could be rewarding, but it inherently should not be guaranteed to be.

And it is not. Sometimes your investment looses a lot of worth if the companies value falls.

Bought Amazon stocks at the wrong time and lost 40% of value 3 months later. Climbed back to 15% loss.

It definitely is not risk free. Not even the biggest, most stable companies are safe from risk.
