Minimize your overall risk by diversifying your portfolio. A diverse portfolio contains a variety of investments depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals. Ideally, you should diversify your portfolio with a mixture of conservative short-term investments such as bonds as well as riskier long-term investments such as stocks and mutual funds.

As you move closer to retirement, re-evaluate your portfolio and move your riskier investments to less risky investments. Maintain the diversity of your portfolio to maximize your chances of enjoying a comfortable retirement.
