Understanding Diversification in Investing

Diversification is crucial in investment strategies, and it means having a range of assets to mitigate risks. A common misconception is that a portfolio is considered diversified if most of its holdings are performing well. In reality, if all the assets in a portfolio are experiencing gains simultaneously, it usually indicates a lack of true diversification, suggesting that they may all decline together. Therefore, it's essential for investors to recognize that a well-diversified portfolio should include assets that behave differently under various market conditions.
