This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Why owning many stocks in the same sector isn't true diversification and how the Series 7 tests this concept. - How to use correlation, from -1 to +1, to select assets that maximize diversification benefits. - The critical distinction between unsystematic (diversifiable) risk and systematic (non-diversifiable) market risk, a frequent exam topic. - The difference between long-term Strategic Asset Allocation (passive) and short-term Tactical Asset Allocation (active). - A simple mnemonic to remember the difference: Strategic is Static, Tactical is Transactional.
