How do you diversify a portfolio with $1000?

How much should I diversify my investments?

A good way of allocation is to subtract your age from 100 – this should be the percentage of stocks in your portfolio. For example, a 30-year-old could keep 70% in stocks with 30% in bonds. On the other hand, a 60-year-old should reduce risk exposure, hence, the stock to bond allocation should be 40:60.

What is a well diversified portfolio?

Well-diversified portfolio. A portfolio that includes a variety of securities so that the weight of any security is small. The risk of a well-diversified portfolio closely approximates the systematic risk of the overall market, and the unsystematic risk of each security has been diversified out of the portfolio.
