How And Why Should I Diversify?

  You don’t want to eat the same food every day right? You don’t want to wear the same shirt, shoes, socks, underwear (hope not), everyday right? You don’t want to want to watch the same episode of Seinfeld everyday right (even though I myself love “The Summer of George” and am smiling as I’m writing this)? Each one of these actions has negative effects.   Do you know what happens when you eat too much broccoli? None may be especially life-threatening, effects can include gas, irritable bowel (especially important for pregnant women), reduction of blood sugar levels (important for diabetic patients), and thyroid underperformance. Many sources say to make sure you include broccoli in your diet but in moderation.   They say variety is the spice of life. If you eat the exact same thing all the time, your body will be negatively affected. Just take a look at that guy who experimented with eating McDonald's for a month.   And if you invest in just one thing, your investments will be negatively affected.    

Inefficient Strategy - Lacked Diversification

  Admittedly I was severely under-diversified early in my investment career. One of my strategies was to simply find out when a company is about to announce its earnings, see if it’s expected to beat earnings per share based on market estimates and buy some shares a few days before. Then I would sell a few months later, usually with a small gain, but that gain would be reduced due to short-term capital gain tax.   Apart from being under-diversified in practically all sectors, it wasn’t an inefficient strategy, required too much monitoring, costs too much and, not sustainable for the long-term.   I also found myself in situations of missed opportunities. There were investments out there that would allow me to diversify at a low price, but I was over-concentrated in certain investments and was not in a favorable position to sell. But that’s a different story for another time.    

So Easy To Diversify

  You really can diversify by just buying into a fund. For example, if you want to diversify into the S&P 500, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF – VTI may be an option.   Years ago, investors needed lots of money to buy different types of stocks and bonds to be properly diversified into the market. And not too long ago, there were investments minimums (i.e., $5,000 or $10,000) to get into a mutual fund.   But with an ETF, there is no minimum. We are all able to enjoy the benefits of diversification – one of which is the ability to sleep better at night.  :-)   Even when you are nearing retirement, it’s important to maintain diversification and balance. You don’t want your investments to be so conservative that they are not beating inflation. Otherwise, you may run the risk of not having enough during your retirement years.   A balanced fund could be an option. For example, the iShares Core Moderate Allocation ETF was noted by U.S. News as one of the Best ETFs in the 30% to 50% Equity Allocation. Per its website, it has a fair balance of Fixed Income and Equity Assets:  

    When you drill down a bit more, the iShares Core Moderate Allocation ETF diversified into the international sector as well so it’s got that covered too (the 3rd fund in the list – IDEV):  

  So Dangerous When You Don’t Diversify

  To make it plain and simple, the dangers of diversifying include, but are not limited to the following:   Retirement Income Risk: You’re nearing or are in retirement and don’t have any money invested in bonds. The stock market has tanked and you have suffered major unrealized losses in equities. You could have avoided this by diversifying into bonds and continuing to manage your allocation so you could enjoy the comfort of a steady income stream and lock in gains from equities when their valuations were high.   Industry Risk: Your money is tied up in one industry (e.g., financial sector). And when the technology sector starts its rapid rise, you are unable to seize that opportunity because your holdings in the financial sector are in a position that if you sell, you will suffer a great loss.   Loyalty Risk: You’ve contributed and therefore invested a significant amount of money in your organizaion’s employee stock purchase program (ESPP). Your organization is suffering major losses in revenue, resulting in layoffs and ultimately significant reduction in its stock price. You could diversify by investing only some money in your organization’s ESPP and most of your paycheck contribution towards a diversified ETF.

  As you can see, they are all established comapnes and of different sectors. We have in his list of top five companies, which represents almost 65% of his entire portfolio the sectors of Technology, Financial Services, and Consumer Staples.  Many of us have heard the positive things he has said about Coca-Cola. This just proves that he is not concentrated on a single stock and maintains a diversified portfolio.   To make sure he continues to be diversified, Mr. Buffett has mentioned that he would like his wealth to be moved into Vanguard’s low-cost index funds for his wife after his passing.   You’ve probably heard the metaphor that diversifying means not putting all of you eggs in one basket. Your eggs are your money and the basket is an investment. Your eggs are not all of the same sizes. That is, you don’t want $500 each in 5 different sectors.  Instead, take your various egg sizes (e.g., Medium, Large, Extra-Large, Jumbo) and decide which baskets you want to invest in to give yourself diversity and protection against losses.   Please note that diversification itself does not guarantee against losses.
