Why You Should be Diversifying Your Investments

If you've actually gone to the effort of making investments, and planning for the future, the good news is that you're better off than most people. The bad news is that you may still be at risk – if your investments are not diversified that is. No more than five percent of your investments should be in narrow investments like unit trusts, and you should be investing in a range of sectors. Consider ‘safe' options like government bonds o offset your riskier investments, and that way, you can be sure that even if one sector of the market takes a nose dive, your broader investments will still be secure.
