OVER CONCENTRATION
OVER CONCENTRATION IS HIGH RISK
Over concentration of an asset is similar to Lack of Diversification. Diversification of investments usually refers to spreading out investments across asset classes such as stocks, bonds, and cash. Over concentration is putting too much of your money into a particular stock or bond. Sometimes a broker “falls in love” with a particular stock and recommends the investor load up on it, or concentrate the portfolio in just a few stocks, or concentrates the portfolio in particular sectors, such as technology, energy, or metals.
This is a risky and dangerous strategy that often leads to disaster. A classic example is the technology bubble in the late 1990s. When the bubble burst, investors that were concentrated in technology stocks got crushed, and those that were invested using margin got completely wiped out. If your investment advisor recommended a particular stock, index fund, or sector, that was over concentrated in relation to your portfolio, you might have a strong claim if you suffered losses.
