The Importance of Diversification in Investing
Staying invested in low-cost, broad-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is crucial for wealth growth, emphasizing the need for diversification. Core ETFs like the BetaShares AAA high-interest cash ETF, A200 for the top Australian companies, and NDQ for the NASDAQ 100 serve as foundational elements of a robust investment portfolio. These ETFs not only provide exposure to various markets but also help in risk mitigation. Keeping a diversified portfolio can enhance long-term financial stability and is presented as a fundamental strategy in wealth accumulation.
