The aim of portfolio diversification is to protect investors against losses. This is particularly important for investors seeking to preserve wealth towards the close of their careers. It is also essential for retirees and people approaching retirement who no longer enjoy a steady income. This is because when investors rely on their portfolio to pay for living expenses, considering risk over returns is vital.
Hardier portfolios
Diversification can improve the risk-adjusted returns of an investment portfolio. Combining passive and actively managed funds and a range of assets, a diversity can effectively balance risk and return, making for a more robust portfolio that can weather market fluctuations.
More opportunities
Many argue that diversifying can create better investment opportunities. A diverse portfolio can involve assets from a wider range of industries, allowing investors to reap the rewards of positive changes across multiple sectors.
Keeping it interesting
Finally, many people find that diversifying makes investing more interesting for them. Rather than holding all investments within a very narrow group, diversification can mean comparing companies alongside each other, researching brand-new industries and emotionally buying into a wide range of sectors.
