A good investment portfolio is a mix of a wide range of asset class. Different
securities perform differently at any point in time, so with a mix of asset
types, your entire portfolio does not suffer the impact of a decline of any
one security. When your stocks go down, you may still have the stability of
the bonds in your portfolio. There have been all sorts of academic studies
and formulas that demonstrate why diversification is important, but it's
really just the simple practice of "not putting all your eggs in one basket." If
you spread your investments across various types of assets and markets,
you'll reduce the risk of your entire portfolio getting affected by the adverse
returns of any single asset class.
