1. diversification

   Diversification is a risk management strategy that involves spreading out investments across various financial instruments, industries, or categories to reduce exposure to any one particular asset or risk. The goal of diversification is to mitigate potential loss and achieve more stable financial returns. The logic behind this strategy suggets that a varied portfolio of different types of investments will, on average, yield higher returns and pose a lower risk than any individual investment within the portfolio.

1. Diversification

   In finance, diversification means reducing risk by investing in a variety of assets. If the asset values do not move up and down in perfect synchrony, a diversified portfolio will have less risk than the weighted average risk of its constituent assets, and often less risk than the least risky of its constituent. Therefore, any risk-averse investor will diversify to at least some extent, with more risk-averse investors diversifying more completely than less risk-averse investors. Diversification is one of two general techniques for reducing investment risk. The other is hedging. Diversification relies on the lack of a tight positive relationship among the assets' returns, and works even when correlations are near zero or somewhat positive. Hedging relies on negative correlation among assets, or shorting assets with positive correlation.
