How does diversification reduce portfolio risk? Which type of risk remains after broad diversification and why? Provide a brief numerical or conceptual illustration.
Diversification reduces unsystematic (idiosyncratic) risk by holding many uncorrelated assets so single-company shocks have little portfolio effect. Systematic (market) risk remains because it stems from economy-wide factors that affect most assets simultaneously (e.g., recession). Illustration: adding many stocks with low correlations lowers portfolio variance, but a market crash still lowers most stocks.
