German term or phrase: Risiko nach unten
Auch wenn wir durchaus mit dem vom Konsensus erwarteten Rückgang beim IFO-Index einhergehen (Risiko sogar nach unten!), ist letztendlich entscheidend, dass die Konjunkturstimmung zurzeit so gut wie schon lange nicht mehr ist!

Is this a downside risk or have I got the wrong end of the stick...

agree  Ralf Lemster: That's exactly what it is - although the context is about the IFO indicator, not returns... (albeit returns might be indirectly affected)

Explanation:
Your assumption seems correct - they say that there's a possibility that the index might go down even further than anticipated.

"We Still Like Commodities

Mar 27 2005

As readers will know, this is a medium term view. Short term, as we suggested last week, the CRB index is under pressure, with ***further downside potential*** from the current level of 306 towards major two-year trendline support in the 290 region. We would expect this area to hold, especially as the relative strength index has moved into oversold territory. ..."

On a side note, "mit dem vom Konsensus erwarteten Rückgang beim IFO-Index ***einhergehen***" is badly worded German IMHO ("einhergehen" should be replaced with "konform gehen" or "übereinstimmen").
