Global markets knowledge
Global investing adds currency, country, valuation, governance, sector, and geopolitical layers to portfolio decisions.
International exposure can come through local listings, ADRs, ETFs, or multinational revenue.
Example: a U.S. company may still have global revenue.
- Mistake: assuming domestic ticker means domestic exposure.
Currency movements can affect returns separately from local market performance.
Example: foreign stocks can rise locally while USD returns lag.
- Mistake: ignoring currency risk.
Global diversification can reduce home bias but adds complexity.
Example: developed and emerging markets carry different risks.
- Mistake: adding global assets without understanding role.
