Global Investing
When building your portfolio, it is important to explore global
opportunities for potential growth. While Canada offers an excellent
investment environment, it represents approximately 2% of the world's
capital markets. With increasing globalization, technology advancement
and demographic expansion, there are unprecedented growth opportunities
available for investors in Canada and across the globe. Looking
beyond Canadian borders to diversify your portfolio can also help
you decrease volatility while improving the potential for returns.
Risk & Returns
During the last 20 years, a diversified portfolio that included
global equities delivered higher returns with lower risk than a
portfolio solely invested in Canadian equities. Including foreign
equity mutual funds in your portfolio can reduce risk and provide
more consistent returns.
A globally diversified portfolio also enables you to balance the
effects of market fluctuations. Because each geographic market normally
moves independently, changes in one may offset changes in another,
reducing your overall portfolio volatility.
