Investors often underestimate the risk in their portfolio. Today, Laura Stover, RFC® and Michael Wallin, CFP® break down 5 common portfolio mistakes, as outlined by Christine Benz in Morningstar. They are portfolio sprawl, when your assets often overlap and have too high a correlation A redundant individual stock portfolio can be risky as well. For example, if you are overly weighted in tech stocks, what happens if there is a chip shortage?
Other risks include also-ran mutual funds, asset allocation not formed by the plan, and suboptimal asset allocation. It is crucially important to develop a plan that works for your individual situation, and stick to it. This includes modifying your portfolio when necessary.
