Why this matters
Diversification doesn't make you money faster — it keeps one bad outcome from being the whole story. A portfolio that's 50% one sector feels fine right up until that sector has a rough year.

Assumptions
The simplified baselines behind this educational result.
- The benchmark is an illustrative eight-part mix, not a real market index.
- The score uses sector weights only and does not estimate returns.
- A lower concentration index means money is spread more evenly.
- Cash lowers market exposure but is not a substitute for diversification across investments.
Why this result
Allocate exactly $1,000 and confirm your mix to unlock the explanation.
