A well-diversified portfolio is the key to a successful long-term investing strategy.
Have you ever heard the saying that goes, “you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket?” The problem is, if that basket falls, all your eggs will go with it.
If you invested all of your money into one single sector & the company went to sh*t, for example, all of your money could go with it.
Invest your money in a range of sectors like tech, health care, consumer goods, financial services, oil & gas, as well as in companies located in different countries, & the portfolio is much more safer this way. This is called ‘Diversifying’ your portfolio.
Determining exactly how to diversify your portfolio depends on your investing timeframe, goals you’d like to achieve, whether they be present or future goals & the level of risk you can tolerate.
All in all, investing in the markets (whether it be the stock markets or crypto currencies) will always carry some level of risk, even when you diversify. But spreading your funds across a mix of investments can lower the risk of your portfolio being dragged down to the dirt when one company, sector or country is struggling.
