Undiversified

In risk management, the state of one's portfolio when it contains only a few securities or classes of securities. For example, if one invests exclusively in automotive companies or only in bonds, one has an undiversified portfolio. An undiversified portfolio carries a great deal of risk; for instance, if automotive companies or bonds perform poorly, it does not matter how well the rest of the market performs. On the other hand, the potential for gains is higher. In general, broader diversification equates to less risk and less return. See also: Markowitz Portfolio Theory.
