Unsystematic risk, what is it and how to reduce it

Unsystematic risk also known as diversifiable risk or residual risk is something that every investment comes with. There is nothing that can eliminate this risk completely, but it can be reduced.

Basically unsystematic risk is the risk of something unexpected happening like a news even, or bad earnings. While you can do your best to predict how a stock will perform this kind of risk is just unforeseeable.
