Market headlines got you worried? Staying focused on what you can control can help you feel more at ease. And one of the ways to do that is by diversifying your investment portfolio.

Diversification can't guarantee profits or prevent losses, but it can help manage risk and smooth out some of the ups and downs that can come with investing. However, diversification isn't one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on your goals, timeline and comfort with risk.
