Diversified

The importance of diversification in your investment portfolio cannot be overestimated. Diversification means spreading your investments across a range of asset classes such as shares or bonds, geographic regions and industry sectors – and within an asset class, spreading your money across multiple individual investments.

Diversification can reduce your investment risk. Different asset classes or investments don’t always perform well at the same time. In a diversified portfolio, if one portion of the portfolio performs poorly over a certain period, this could be offset by the better performance of another part of your portfolio, so you are less likely to suffer a big loss across your portfolio. In simple terms, diversification is about not putting all your eggs in one basket.

ETFs, one of the fastest growing investment products globally, are a simple and cost-efficient way to instantly increase investment diversification to your portfolio.

Betashares ETFs cover a number of major asset classes including:

• Australian shares
• Global shares
• Cash & Fixed income
• Commodities
• Currencies

Allocating your investment funds across several major asset classes can help to protect your portfolio when sharemarkets fall, as other asset classes like commodities and fixed income may continue to perform well during sharemarket downturns.

Betashares Diversified ETFs are designed to simplify the process of diversifying your portfolio even further, with the following funds available to trade on the ASX:

• Betashares Ethical Diversified ETF (ASX: DGGF)
• Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHHF)
