Effect of Portfolio Diversification on Risk Reduction Among Nigerian Investors
Banking and Finance — 2025, Undergraduate
This study examined the effect of portfolio diversification on risk reduction among Nigerian investors. A descriptive survey was conducted with individual and institutional investors using a structured questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The findings revealed that spreading investments across asset classes and sectors significantly reduced unsystematic risk and improved risk-adjusted returns. The study, however, found that many investors held overly concentrated portfolios due to limited market access and familiarity. It recommends investor education on diversification, wider product availability, and affordable access to diversified investment vehicles.
