Security Information

Effective diversification involves using a variety of investment securities.  This section gives you the basic information you should know about the most common types of investments.  This may help you be better educated and informed about the investments you own or the investments that you may want to consider.

The reason diversification is so important is primarily because investments act and perform very differently.  Some securities may make 10% per year, others may only make 5%, while others may lose money.  Performance cannot be guaranteed and no one has that crystal ball which will predict how a given investment will perform over the next 1, 3, 5, or 20 years, so we rely on diversification to protect us from unnecessary risks and give us less volatile overall performance.
