Diversification

Diversification

A diversified portfolio ensures that your capital is spread across a variety of investments. It ensures that you are not reliant on a single investment or industry for all your rewards. Fortunately, there are multiple asset classes to invest your money into, such as equity or bonds. It reduces your exposure to market risk and smooths out the peaks and valleys of investment trips. As a result, diversification is the guidewire that stops your investment portfolio from going off the rails especially when there’s a downturn in the market.
