Experts Warn Overdiversification in Mutual Funds Can Reduce Portfolio Effectiveness
Indian mutual fund investors often hold 20 to 30 schemes, leading to overdiversification or 'diworsification,' where portfolios become cluttered with overlapping holdings. Experts like Amol Joshi and Kresha Gupta caution that simply increasing the number of funds does not ensure better diversification or returns. They recommend focusing on a few complementary schemes and reviewing fund overlaps to avoid duplicating exposure, emphasizing that diversification manages risk but is not a strategy to maximize returns.
