At FourThought, we know that peace of mind matters just as much as performance when it comes to your financial future. That is why FourThoughts’ Senior Analyst, Jake MacFarlane, has prepared a short piece titled “Diversification: Sleeping Well at Night.” It is a straightforward guide to why thoughtful diversification is more than just smart investing; it is a foundation for confidence in every market cycle.

This article walks through how and why a more balanced approach, including international and small-cap exposure, can protect your long-term goals and reduce the worry that often comes with market uncertainty.

Whether you are actively planning your next financial step or simply seeking clarity in a complex world, we hope this resource adds value and peace of mind.
