Abstract

The paper discovered that diversification affects the portfolio returns of mutual funds. Data from previous studies were collected using the descriptive analysis method and compared to data of the Social Security Investment Fund in Jordan. The outcomes approve that diversification can positively impact portfolio “risk and return”, these outcomes prove that diversification helps to achieve a balance between risk and return. The research recommends taking the association between diversification and portfolio “risk and return” to achieve the portfolio risk-return of the fund holders.
