HI,

You will often see most financial experts recommend people to diversify their investment portfolio as this is an extreme necessity. Investment experts have shown that 90% of the variability of a portfolio is due to proper allocation of assets and this means that 10% of the performance of the portfolio is due to the individual holdings while 90% is decided by how you've diversified your assets.

Divide your investments among different categories like bonds, stocks, mutual funds and cash equivalents so that you can keep gaining profits from one asset while the other is going through a rough phase. This will ensure maximum profits and minimum risks. Hope you got it clear..!!
