The Advantages of Global Investing

Investing internationally provides a significant advantage due to the vast number of companies available outside the United States. With around 4,000 companies listed on U.S. markets compared to approximately 250,000 internationally, focusing solely on U.S. investments limits opportunities to 2% to 3% of the total stock market landscape. This broader perspective opens up a multitude of potential investments, though it can feel overwhelming due to the sheer number of options. By analyzing both risks and opportunities in global markets, investors who are open-minded can enhance their investment strategies and ultimately achieve better results.
