Always Better Than Diversification

Diversification is one thing you'll hear a lot when you are just starting to get into investments. By the root word ‘diverse’, it is the act of spreading your money into different types of investment to reduce the risk of losing a lot when you just put it all in just one basket, as they say.

It's a great strategy practiced by many successful investors. Diversification itself is an easy thing to do. You just put your money in several types of investments available to you like in real estates, equities, mutual funds, trust funds and other traditional businesses like retailing then voila, you are already doing it. 

But remember that your main objective in getting into investments is to grow your money. Lessening the risk of losing it is just a feature you practice while doing it. If your main goal is lessening risk, go ahead and diverse as much as you can. Spread your money. Put a little on this and on that. Chances are, you’ll earn in some and lose in some. You might end up break-even. 

Diversification is a great strategy. There’s no question to it. But keep in mind that the more important thing than knowing how to diverse is why you are doing it. You can only achieve that by studying your investments. There’s no other way. And by knowing your needs and visioning your objectives, choosing the better investments for you will become easier. Always remember that diversification is a tool for your perusal and never your end goal.
