Why Invest in International Equities?
May 1, 2019
Home-country bias is found throughout the world, and it leads many US investors to load up on US equities and hesitate to look across borders or overseas for investment opportunities. And the bull market in US equities that started in 2009 has only reinforced this domestic bias.

This paper presents three arguments for why international equities should be a component of every investor’s portfolio.
