overconcentration
Too much focus
Overconcentration is excessive focus on a single thing at the expense of others.
In finance, it describes a portfolio too heavily weighted in one stock or sector: The fund's overconcentration in tech left it vulnerable to the crash.
The term applies anywhere balance matters—an overconcentration of power, wealth, or resources creates instability.
