The Logic Behind Your Stock Holdings | AWM Insights #145

Diversification is a key pillar of financial success. Owning as many companies as you possibly can position your portfolio to pick up returns from generational performers, and increases your odds of not missing out on these best-in-class companies.This concept makes its way into Global Markets as well. Maintaining exposure to different economies and regions with different industries increases your odds of success, and potentially can smooth out yearly returns.The old adage of not putting all your eggs in one basket holds true here and usually leads to you having more eggs at the end of the day. Have questions for an upcoming episode?
