The current Marketplace for a globally minded approach Investors more and more need a thorough understanding of how macroeconomic and geopolitical factors impact their investments. Unfortunately most of the available investment product has been created with a US domestic bent and born in the extended bull markets of the last thirty years. This combination has left a gaping hole in most investors portfolios: where they are overly exposed to the US domestic markets and inadequately equipped to preserve capital in down markets.
To drive the point home, in a recent analysis of all mutual funds researched by Lipper, 14,339 of them address US opportunities only. 1,095 of them address Global opportunities. In an investable world that is more and more susceptible to country risk does it make sense that you are 14 times more likely to invest your money in just one country than spread your risk over many?
