False.
Good portfolios are usually built on simple, proven principles — appropriate asset allocation for your goals and risk tolerance, broad diversification, low costs, tax-efficient placement, and regular rebalancing. Complexity (many individual stock picks, frequent trading, exotic products) rarely improves outcomes and often raises fees, taxes, and behavioral errors. Some complexity can be useful for specific needs (estate planning, concentrated stock positions, tax-loss harvesting), but it should only be added when the expected benefit clearly exceeds the added cost and effort.
