When the market is booming, and the indexes are on their way up, it may seem foolish to be in anything but equities. • But, that’s what they say about investments, you can never be sure of what the market will do at any given moment. This is exactly why a well diversified portfolio is of utmost importance.
Here are some diversification tips: 1) Spread the wealthEquities are wonderful, but it is important to remember that you must not put all your investment in one stock or one sector. Create your own portfolio by investing in a handful of trusted companies. It’s the best way to understand the companies that you are investing in and select a handful of companies that are well known.
2) Consider index or bond funds • You can also consider adding index funds or fixed income funds to the mix. It will give you a better diversification. • Investing in securities that track various indexes make a wonderful long term diversification investment for your portfolio. By adding fixed income solutions, your portfolio is further hedged against a volatile and uncertain market.

You’ll know exactly when to get out. • It is hence important to take a disciplined approach and use diversification as well as buy and hold and averaging strategies and you will realize that your investments are rewarding – even in the worst times!
