You're asking an unanswerable question. A high risk portfolio could return large gains, large losses, or somewhere in between. Additionally, they won't all perform the same way and returns will vary by how the manager is doing that particular year.
A good starting point is to consider that you can earn (at least in the US) about 5% absolutely risk free in Treasuries. Is that an adequate return for you? If it is then your decision making is easy. If you want to take risk in order to potentially make more, then you have to start looking at other investment classes.
I would argue that the short end of the US yield curve, up to about 2 years duration, is attractive right now. The stock market is offering a lot of risk and I don't find it very attractive right now.
