More From Alex Bryan

The more concentrated a portfolio is, the greater the risk of missing out on the market's biggest winners and underperforming.

This exchange-traded fund rebalances into stocks as they become cheaper relative to their fundamentals.

The stock market has historically been more volatile than corporate earnings, but uncertainty can justify that volatility.

This is one of the best choices for exposure to U.S. large-value stocks.

This fund’s low-fee, turnover-conscious approach to portfolio construction, and its broad diversification, should serve investors well.
