JohnOD | Got that one. |
tjmcd86 | Isn't A correct as well? |
johntan1979 | Diversification maximizes returns, not reduce it. |
gill15 | It doesnt maximize returns it just reduces risk. |
mpasternack | It maximizes returns for a given level of risk. |
ankurwa10 | please read the question, it says reduces (not being pedantic, i often commit the mistake of not reading the question fully, sill i know) |
ascruggs92 | Diversification seeks to maximize return for a given level or risk, or minimize risk for a desired return. You cannot say that diversification minimizes or maximizes returns themselves, just your chances of achieving a desired return |

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
