Generation

# Diversification and Portfolio Risk **Diversification** is an investment strategy that involves spreading investments across different assets to reduce risk. When assets are not perfectly correlated, combining them in a portfolio reduces overall volatility because losses in some investments may be offset by gains in others. **Portfolio risk** (measured by variance) depends not only on individual asset risks but also on how assets move together. The key formula for a two-asset portfolio is: **σ²ₚ = w₁²σ₁² + w₂²σ₂² + 2w₁w₂ρ₁₂σ₁σ₂** where w represents weights, σ represents standard deviations, and ρ₁₂ is the correlation coefficient between assets.
