How can I diversify my investments effectively?

Diversifying your investments means spreading your money across different asset classes to reduce risk. What types of investments do you currently have?

I mostly have stocks. Should I consider bonds or real estate?

Yes, adding bonds can provide stability, while real estate can offer potential for growth and income. Are you interested in any specific asset classes?

I'm curious about mutual funds and ETFs. How do they fit into diversification?

Mutual funds and ETFs are great for diversification as they pool money from many investors to buy a variety of stocks or bonds. This way, you can invest in a broad market without needing to pick individual stocks.

What percentage of my portfolio should be in stocks versus bonds?

A common rule is to subtract your age from 100 to find the percentage of stocks. The rest can be in bonds. However, it also depends on your risk tolerance and investment goals.
