What Does “Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket” Mean?

Diversification of investing all your resources in one single source. If you are in Agriculture, this could mean, having two different types of crops, to protect from weather or pest that may affect one crop in one way, and the other one differently.

It is meant to increase your returns, while reduce your risk profile. When it comes to investing, there are various ways to diversify.

1. Diversify by Size of Companies – One can do this by owning shares in a large company such as Apple or Disney, as well as owning shares of smaller size companies such as Ethan Allen Interiors.

2. Diversify between Owning Shares in a Company or Lending Money – Shares can go up or down with the market so lending money to companies, otherwise called bonds, can provide buoyancy to your portfolio as these loans will pay a fixed interest rate balancing the ups and downs of owning shares in companies.

3. Diversify by Alternative Investments – Normally we are accustomed to hearing about stocks and bonds. Alternatives, are for the most part, are anything else besides stocks and bonds. Alternative Investments that we work with, are in the Commercial Real Estate Space, but there are many more options to help even more layers of diversification to one’s holdings.

The JP Morgan Portfolio Diversification Information Page from their Guide to The Markets Offers a very good example of how adding an alternative investment layer to diversification can make an impact on one’s holdings.
