This practice is called diversification. Diversifying your holdings within each asset class can help lessen the risk of loss if one investment dips in value.<\/p><p>For example, don&#8217;t only invest in stocks from one type of business or sector. Instead, buy shares from various companies and markets to ensure the safety of your retirement funds. Likewise, diversify bond investments by buying bonds with different maturity dates and coupon rates yields, which are also known as bond ladders.<\/p><p>The same rule of thumb applies to other assets like real estate and cash exercises too! Thereby you protect your downside even when there&#8217;s a downturn.
