Maximize Your Wealth Smartly Balance Your Asset Portfolio
The Importance of Diversification
Diversification is a key component of asset allocation. By spreading investments across various asset classes and sectors, you can reduce the risk of a significant loss. This is because different assets often react differently to the same economic event. For example, when stock markets are down, bond markets might perform better, thus balancing your portfolio. According to a study by Vanguard, diversification can help reduce volatility and improve returns over time1.
