The Importance of Diversification
Staying invested and growing wealth requires constant diversification across investment portfolios. Low-cost, broad-based ETFs serve as essential building blocks for a diversified investment strategy. Popular offerings include high-interest cash ETFs and those tracking major indices like the Australia 200 and NASDAQ 100, which provide investors with a balanced exposure to different sectors. Utilizing such ETFs helps minimize risk and ensures that investments can withstand market fluctuations.
