Risk Measures to Take While Investing

Portfolio Diversification

Most financial experts encourage investors to diversify their portfolios by investing in different asset classes. This is to help mitigate the risk of losing out on all your investments If a particular asset class experiences a downturn.

Also, diversification can help curtail volatility; an upswing in one class can make up for the loss that results from a downward movement in others. 

Also, this strategy caters to your:

• Financial and investment goals: both short-term and long-term.
• Tolerance for risk (market volatility)
• Desire to invest in specific types of investments
