How to Build a Diversified Investment Portfolio (Without Owning 20+ Funds)
Manage episode 522430971 series 3699057
A diversified investment portfolio isn’t about owning as many funds as possible—it’s about owning the right asset classes in the right proportions. In this video, Josh Duncan breaks down how families with significant wealth can build a truly diversified investment portfolio that supports long-term goals, reduces unnecessary volatility, and avoids the clutter that derails even the smartest investors.
Using a simple framework built around five or six core asset classes—US large cap equities, US small cap equities, developed international stocks, emerging markets, real estate, and bonds—Josh explains why simplicity often beats complexity.
You’ll learn how to avoid overlapping investments, how to structure your portfolio at the household level rather than account by account, and how tax-efficient placement of assets can meaningfully improve long-term results.
Whether you're evaluating your current strategy or starting fresh, this video breaks down the purpose of each asset class, the role it plays in risk management, and how to build a unified, well-balanced portfolio across all accounts.
