IN today's world, investors are increasingly recognizing the benefits of diversifying their portfolios beyond domestic markets.
Mikko Vergara, head of Equities and Global Funds at Sun Life Investment Management and Trust Corp., emphasizes the importance of global investing as a crucial strategy for long-term wealth creation.
"Global diversification gives your portfolio exposure to more economic growth catalysts and a wider set of issuers," says Vergara. "By investing in companies and markets around the world, you can tap into diverse opportunities and potentially enhance your returns. For example, you may gain exposure to innovative technologies in Asia, diverse bond markets in Europe or emerging economies in Latin America."
One of the key advantages of global investing lies in its ability to mitigate risk. When domestic markets experience downturns, investments in other regions may offer a degree of insulation, helping to protect your overall portfolio value.
However, navigating the global investment landscape requires careful consideration.
