📢 Welcome to our next Lux Finance Circle meetup!
This month, we're tackling a core portfolio construction challenge: **true diversification versus potential "Diworsification."** We all hear about adding different asset classes – like Emerging Markets, Gold, or even alternatives like Hedge Funds or Private Equity – but how do we know if these additions truly enhance resilience, or just add complexity and cost?

This session is a structured, open discussion designed to give you the frameworks to critically evaluate the role of various potential diversifiers in your portfolio.

🧭 **Format of the Event**
This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a 10-minute introduction to his core framework for **"Evaluating Diversification: Which Asset Classes for Inclusion"**
This is your opportunity to move beyond simplistic "add more asset classes" advice and discuss the real-world evidence and decision-making process for building a truly robust, diversified portfolio.
**Recommended Preparation**
To get the most out of our discussion, I highly recommend reviewing the LinkedIn post that sparked this topic, which dives into the specific arguments for and against including Emerging Markets.
**Read the Framework:** [Emerging Markets: Diversification or Distraction?](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/romain-f-lucas_emerging-markets-diversification-or-distraction-activity-7384177669753430016-dM2U/) **Continue the Conversation:** For more content on building evidence-based portfolios, you can follow me on LinkedIn here: [Romain Lucas](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/romain-f-lucas/)

* Someone debating the inclusion of specific asset classes like Emerging Markets, Small Cap Value, Gold, etc.
* Looking for a clear, evidence-based framework to make asset allocation decisions.
