- Diversification is the benefit in risk reduction you get from adding additional stocks to your portfolio
- In Asia, having five stocks in your portfolio reduces risk by 65% compared to holding only one stock
- At 10 stocks you have reduced risk by 80% and with 20 stocks in your portfolio you have diversified away 90% of company-specific risk
- Adding more than 30 stocks to your portfolio gives limited additional benefits. Diversification follows the law of diminishing returns
