diversifiers
Things that vary
Diversifiers are things that add variety or spread risk across different areas.
In finance, diversifiers are investments chosen specifically because they behave differently from existing holdings: Gold and real estate serve as diversifiers in a stock-heavy portfolio.
More broadly, anything that introduces variation qualifies: The company added new product lines as diversifiers against market shifts.
