What Does This Mean?

Securities brokers are required to make sure that their customers' portfolios are adequately diversified in a suitable manner. This means that their account can not solely comprise of one or two securities. If this is the case, then the success or failure of the customer's account is entirely determined by the success or failure of those one or two investments. Investor portfolios should consist of multiple investments so that the investor does not lose everything if the value of one security plummets.

Diversity is also important in regards to the level of risk. If an investor's account is over-concentrated in high-risk securities, then the account can be incredibly volatile. Investors with more moderate objectives need to have their portfolios diversified among investments with varying levels of risks. This means that the customer can expose some assets to moderate risk, while to still keeping most of their assets in safe investments.
