Diversification Principles
Diversification seeks to reduce reliance on any single outcome. Learn what it can and cannot achieve within a modern investment portfolio.
The purpose of diversification
Spreading exposure across assets, sectors, geographies, or strategies can reduce the impact of any one investment’s poor performance.
Correlation is not constant
Assets that appear diversifying in calm markets may move together during stress. Diversification reduces some risks; it does not eliminate loss.
False diversification
Holding many similar positions can create concentration in disguise. True diversification considers underlying drivers of risk and return.
