Putting together a diversified investment portfolio can be uncomplicated and performed in the solitude of my home. I can use online tools provided by brokerage firms to quickly build investment portfolios.

These tools don’t substitute for customized investment recommendations. The portfolios suggested may or may not be suitable for specific objectives. And, though they’re typically diversified portfolios, diversification doesn’t protect against loss all the time or guarantee a profit. But they’re free to use and they can offer insights into how a portfolio is constructed.
