Putting the odds of investing and retirement success in your favor should be a given as is being diversified. But what does diversification really mean? Ten stocks? One hundred stocks? Two asset classes or ten?
Building on the concept of standard deviation -- or degree of variability -- in investment returns, hear Kevin take the idea of diversification farther. Diversification is not just minimizing variability or owning the S&P 500. It's also reducing the risk of underperformance by owning the stocks and assets classes that will deliver higher returns and reducing the variability in dollar outcomes from your portfolio.
Miss just a few of the best performing stocks each year or abandon an underperforming asset class whose future returns are now higher, and your portfolio will deliver more disparate results that are more likely to put you into the poorhouse. And that's no way to run a retirement portfolio to last your lifetime.
The geek alert is sounded again for this episode but you don't have to be an investment geek to get significant value from this one.
