Seek Independent Business Outcomes for Diversification
In managing an investment portfolio, diversification is crucial to guard against undue correlation of risk. It is not about avoiding short-term market losses but ensuring that business outcomes are not highly correlated.

Sizing investments based on their downside risk, not upside potential, is a key strategy for a safety-first mentality.
