Making sure your investments are diversified to minimize risk starts with understanding what types of assets you currently have in your portfolio. Generally, diversifying by investing in different geographical locations and financial instruments is ideal - invest in different types of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have varying levels of risk associated with them. Additionally, diversifying across industry sectors and different economic regions offers further protection against extreme losses. Having a properly diversified portfolio may also help spread your costs over lower fees associated with managing various accounts as well as reduce impact of any one particular investment decision gone wrong. 

Overall diversification depends on how much diversity is needed to meet your individual investment goals - work closely with a knowledgeable advisor or researcher who can monitor the constantly evolving markets and identify the necessary tools for a properly adjusted and diversified portfolio allocation suitable to your situation.
