Introduction
Diversification remains the cornerstone of prudent investing. By distributing your investments across varied assets—stocks, bonds, commodities, and alternative investments—you mitigate concentration risk and aim for steadier growth. As technology evolves, newer ways of diversifying (like thematic ETFs and fractional shares) have emerged, giving both seasoned professionals and retail investors more nuanced options.
Why Diversification Still Matters
Risk Spreading: If one sector underperforms, others may outperform, cushioning overall returns.
Volatility Management: Diversification helps stabilize a portfolio through different market cycles.
