📚 FINANCIAL LITERACY 📚
Why Diversification Matters?

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” The same basic idea applies to investing.

Diversification is the practice of spreading investments across different types of assets to help manage risk. While it doesn’t eliminate risk, it can help reduce the impact of a decline in any one investment or asset class.

The right mix depends on your specific financial goals, time horizon, and comfort with risk.
