underdiversified
Too few holdings
Underdiversified describes an investment portfolio or business strategy that lacks sufficient variety to spread risk effectively.
A portfolio concentrated in a single stock or sector is underdiversified—if that investment fails, everything fails with it.
Her retirement savings were dangerously underdiversified, with 80% in company stock.
The term implies vulnerability that proper diversification would mitigate.
