4. Term We’re Defining

Diversification - Spreading your money across different types of investments within your portfolio in order to reduce risk. If your portfolio only consists of a shares in a single company, you risk losing all your money if that company goes bankrupt. By diversifying and owning shares in different companies, you can reduce the negative impact that any single company will have on your portfolio should it suffer a downturn. Ideally, you will own a mixture of investments and asset classes which react differently to the same event, so a loss in one investment can be offset by gains in another. (source)
