How do you approach diversification in your own portfolios? Are there specific asset classes or investment vehicles that you find particularly effective in spreading out risk?

I only invested on mutual funds and local stocks. They are risks - free. I am afraid of risks. It's not easy to produce our hard earned money only to lose.
Everyone will have a different investment method/strategy, even though they have the same goal of minimizing the risk of loss. In general, investors who only have one type of investment instrument will diversify based on industry sector, liquidity, risk and return. But personally I use a diversification approach based on asset type.
Go for investment that you understand and are for real. if you have the money hire a professional too

I only invest small amounts of money because it is all can afford. And, I only invest what I can afford to lose. I am conservative when it comes to investments. Some people might advise you to put all your hard-earned money into investments and take risks. But these people probably have a backup plan in case things go wrong. I do not listen to them because they are not in my shoes. What if I lose everything? Would they help me out? No.
There are many types of investment instruments that are suitable for a conservative risk profile including bank deposits and government bonds, these will be guaranteed by the state, unless the state is destroyed, apart from that you can also invest in gold and diamonds, the prices of which will increase every year.
To minimize risks you need to adopt solutions that would help you avoid high losses
Yes, diversifying your portfolio is important to minimize risks. I buy stocks, not just local stocks, but US and Japanese stocks as well. Local stocks are in bear market. Fortunately, Japanese stocks are doing well.

Fixed income is a good way to minimize risks, if you are able to balance your portfolio between equities with reliable and reputable stocks and fixed income you can reduce your risk a lot.
This approach allows for greater stability in returns, especially during uncertain economic conditions, and can enhance overall portfolio performance while reducing the potential for major losses.
