Deep dives

The New Geography of Investing

Investing is evolving as companies are assessed based on where they conduct business rather than their place of incorporation. The concept, introduced nearly a decade ago, highlights the shifting revenue patterns of major markets. For instance, European firms have transitioned from deriving 60% of revenues from within Europe to 60% from outside, while Japanese companies have shifted to a near 50-50 split. These changes suggest that understanding a company’s revenue sources can provide a clearer picture of its global exposure and risks than traditional metrics based on domicile.
