There are many studies demonstrating why diversification works, when we talk about investments, to put it simply by spreading your investments across various sectors or industries with low correlation to each other, you reduce price volatility. This is because different industries and sectors don’t move up and down at the same time or at the same rate. If you mix things up in your portfolio, you’re less likely to experience major drops, because as some sectors encounter tough times, others may be thriving. This provides for a more consistent overall portfolio performance.
