The Importance of Diversification in Investing

Diversification is crucial for managing investment risks and growing wealth effectively. Utilizing low-cost, broad-based ETFs serves as foundational building blocks for creating a diversified investment portfolio. Core ETFs like AAA, A200, and NDQ cater to various investment strategies by providing access to high-interest cash, a selection of Australian shares, and NASDAQ 100, respectively. By maintaining a diversified portfolio, investors can mitigate the potential negative impacts of a single investment's poor performance.
