Undiversifiable risk Related: Systematic risk Undiversifiable risk Risk that is carried by an entire class of assets and/or liabilities. Undiversifiable risk may apply to a certain country or industry, or to the entire global economy. It is impossible to reduce undiversifiable risk for the global economy (complete global shutdown is always theoretically possible), but one may mitigate other forms of undiversifiable risk by buying different kinds of securities and/or by buying in different industries. For example, oil companies all have the undiversifiable risk that they will drill up all the oil in the world; an investor may mitigate this risk by investing in both oil companies and companies having nothing to do with oil. Undiversifiable risk is also called systemic risk. How to thank TFD for its existence?
