Diversifiable Risk

    0.01 sec.
Diversifiable risk

diversifiable risk

Diversifiable Risk
Risk that is unique to a certain asset or company. An example of a diversifiable risk is the possibility of poor earnings or a strike amongst a company's employees. One may mitigate diversifiable risk by buying different securities in the same industry and/or by buying securities in different industries. For example, a particular oil company has the diversifiable risk that it may drill up no oil in a given year. An investor may mitigate this risk by investing in several different oil companies as well as in companies having nothing to do with oil. Diversifiable risk is also called unsystemic risk. See also: Undiversifiable risk.
