The term that best describes Valerie's actions of trying to reduce risk is called <u>Diversification</u>.

The process of diversification:

  • Involves investing in various assets instead of a few.
  • Reduces risk that one will lose assets in one investment.

By investing in a mutual fund, Valarie diversified her investment because mutual funds invest in several different assets to ensure that their clients do not lose money on a few investments.

In conclusion, this is diversification.
