Diversification Sounds Great…But Nobody Actually Does It! (S2 E2)

S2 E2: Having a well-diversified portfolio is one of the main goals of most investment strategies. Although few would argue with this, the reality is that many investors eventually lose sight of why diversification was implemented in the first place.

This episode illustrates, with vivid examples, how investors might say they want something, but what they actually do completely contradicts their stated desire. 

Jeff Harrell also addresses whether there is any scenario in which it makes sense to ignore diversification. And he shares some insider’s knowledge about something financial service firms call “window dressing”… you’ll want to hear this.

If you were under the impression “playing Monday morning quarterback” was reserved for sports and political conversations, think again. You’ll learn just how bad investors are at second-guessing their actions when those decisions don’t work out exactly the way they thought they would.
