1) you lose money
2) they screw you blind with excessive fees
beyond that, you need to be more specific.
If there's a benchmark, there's a risk that the benchmark itself performs badly, and the risk that you underperform the benchmark
After accounting for fees, very few actively managed funds (I forget the number, 1/4?) outperform the benchmark, suggesting a lot of people would be better off in a low cost tracker fund

I would browse over to the Investment Association website and have a look through various different white papers produced by them. If looking from a fund management perspective risks can be identified in virtually every step from the initial subscription/redemption of shares/units down to the settlement of the underlying instruments in the fund.
