We are proud to present this presentation providing information to the investing public about the risks to certain investors of over-concentration of investments in a particular market sector or product. It is important for investors to understand the way their financial professionals are investing their money and when those practices may be against industry regulations.
2. What is Over-concentration? Over-concentration is when your investments are entirely, or almost entirely, invested in one product or market sector.
3. Risks of Over-concentration Brokers have a fiduciary duty to investors to select investments that are appropriate in light of the client’s age, investment experience, investment objectives, and net worth. There are very few instances when an over-concentration of an investor’s portfolio can be prudent due to the risk that the particular investment may decline.
4. More on Over-concentration One of the best ways to reduce risk in your accounts is through diversification, amongst the various investment sectors (real estate, financial, health care, etc.) and vehicles (mutual funds, equities, bonds, CDs, etc.). As such, an over-concentrated position in any one investment is generally unsuitable.
