Financial Terms Friday: What Is a Diversified Portfolio?
A diversified portfolio spreads your investments across different asset types, industries, and markets instead of relying on just one investment. The goal is to help manage risk while working toward your financial goals.
For example, a portfolio may include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and cash. If one investment performs poorly, other investments may help offset some of the losses. However, diversification does not guarantee profits or eliminate investment risk.
The right mix depends on your financial goals, time horizon, and comfort with risk. A well-planned portfolio should reflect your individual needs, not simply follow the latest market trends.
