Morphology
undiversified = diversified (transparent) = un + diverse + ify + ed
The adjective is simply negation of 'diversified' (un- + diversified), a straightforward productive formation.
Etymology
Undiversified starts with un- 'not' and uses diverse 'different' (the same root as diversity). So undiversified means 'not varied' or 'lacking different kinds', which is why an undiversified economy or portfolio can be at risk from a single problem.
