Get Global – “Susan On Money” for Week of May 7, 2014

May 7 By Linkous Group

Hi Everyone,

Strong performance from the U.S. equity markets often results in investors ignoring the larger global economy. You may not want to do it.

Here’s why,

Susan

Outside the U.S.

100% of the time, over the past 30 years, the top-performing equity market has been outside the U.S. 1

That fact surprised me.

80% of global GDP (gross domestic product) comes from non-U.S. countries. 2

Only 26% of the world’s publicly traded companies are based in the United States.3

If you are a long-term growth investor and would like to discuss the appropriateness of investing abroad, please contact me to ascertain risks involved as they are often greater than investing domestically and are not suited for everyone.

Until next week,

Susan R. Linkous

Sources & Stuff
