Why Going 100% S&P 500 Could Be a Huge Mistake in 2025 – Diversify Your Portfolio Now

Going 100% S&P 500 in 2025 could be a costly mistake for investors who aren’t considering broader diversification. In a featured video from FinStream, investment expert Beau Kemp speaks with financial journalist Bob Powell about the critical importance of diversifying your portfolio beyond the S&P 500. They discuss how relying solely on one index—no matter how historically strong—can leave your investments vulnerable to market shifts, economic changes, and sector imbalances.

While the S&P 500 represents many of the largest U.S. companies, it’s not a complete picture of the global market. Beau Kemp explains why including international stocks, small-cap equities, bonds, and alternative assets can help reduce risk and improve long-term returns. Investors should be especially cautious in 2025, as economic conditions evolve and volatility may impact traditional index-heavy strategies.

Watch this video to learn why going all-in on the S&P 500 might expose your portfolio to unnecessary risk—and what you can do instead.
