The Benefits of Diversification in Retirement
Diversification in retirement portfolios is important despite historical simulations showing higher success rates for all-equity portfolios. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and diversification helps mitigate risk. Modern portfolio theory supports the idea that combining different risky assets can decrease overall risk. Additionally, diversification can help curb behavioral biases and emotions in personal finance decisions.
