Over Concentrated Portfolios

Investment portfolio diversification is the most fundamental rule of investing. The opposite of a diversifed investment portfolio is an over concentrated investment portfolio. Overconcentration may be indicated when a stockbroker invests a large portion of a client's investment portfolio into a single investment or sector of the market or asset class. An example of overconcentration includes an investment portfolio that contains only automobile stocks. A stockbroker who fails to sufficiently diversify a client's investment portfolio substantially increases the risk of potential investment losses.

Simply put, placing all your “eggs” in one basket is never a wise investment decision. Ultimately, overconcentration can lead to liability on the part of the stockbroker or the investment firm.
