Centuries ago, ancient Chinese merchants faced a simple problem: if all their goods traveled on a single ship and that ship was lost to the weather, theft, or pirates, the entire investment could disappear. They addressed that risk by dividing their cargo among several different vessels.
This strategy is a simple illustration of diversification, and this same concept applies to investing today. Spreading investments across different asset classes, sectors, and holdings does not guarantee gains or prevent losses, but it can help reduce the impact of any one setback.
