Diversification means spreading investments across different asset types, industries and geographic regions rather than relying heavily on one area.
The purpose of diversification is to reduce the impact of any single investment performing poorly. Because different assets tend to perform differently under varying economic conditions, diversification can help smooth overall portfolio returns over time.
While it does not remove risk entirely, diversification is a foundational principle of disciplined investing.
