Imagine putting your entire KES 50,000 savings into one company's stock — and watching it drop 60% overnight. That's not bad luck. That's a portfolio with zero protection.
In this episode, I break down diversification: what it actually means, why it works, and what a real diversified portfolio looks like for a Kenyan investor just starting out — using actual NSE data, not theory.
What you'll learn:
✅ What diversification really means (it's not "owning a lot of stuff")
✅ A real Kenyan example: Safaricom's ~67% drop from 2021 to 2023, and what it cost undiversified investors
✅ A simple starting portfolio framework: S&P 500 ETF, NSE stocks, money market funds, and real estate/REITs
✅ Why the S&P 500 ETF does most of the diversification work for you in one single purchase
✅ 3 common mistakes to avoid — fake diversification, ignoring rebalancing, and investing in what you don't understand
📺 Haven't watched Episode 002 yet? That's where I show you exactly how to invest in the S&P 500 from Kenya using M-Pesa, starting from KES 100. Watch it first — it's the foundation for everything covered in this video.
