Why spreading your money softens the falls
The story
Two uncles each invest KES 100,000. Uncle Ouma puts it all into shares of one company. Uncle Kibet splits it into four parts of KES 25,000: three different companies and a money market fund.

Spreading money across different things is called diversification. It doesn’t stop losses, but one bad bet can’t sink you.
Ask at home
Talk about where your family’s income comes from and what would happen if one source stopped.
