To optimize a portfolio, you can use a &#8220;core and satellite&#8221; approach: utilize ETFs to stabilize your foundation through broad market exposure, while strategically adding individual stocks and bonds to chase higher potential returns or specific income goals.<\/p>\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#777;font-size:13px;line-height:1.6\"><strong>DISCLAIMER: Investments in the securities market are subject to market risks, read all the related documents carefully before investing.
