Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

How to conquer the world, one investment at a time. No matter how you choose to invest overseas, you don't have to stray far to understand the relevance of diversification and the need to look at risks before you leap. And that's why Global Equity Investing may be the safest investment of all. Written by a top international author team, this clear, hands-on book shows every investor how to diversify and use the world stock marekts and index markets to decrease risk and maximize returns. It also helps you become familiar with key investment policies and strategies, as well as procedures for getting your protfolio started and how to keep it updated. Global Equity Investing answers these and other crucial questions: why has risk increased in overseas investing and why is diversification so critical? what simple trading methods are available? how do the stock markets of the United States, Europe, and Japan differ in pattern and volatility? what role do emerging markets of the United States, Europe, and Japan differ in pattern and volatility? what role do emerging markets play in overseas investment? why is a knowledge of world markets, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Country Funds, and domestically-traded foreign stocks so essential? how do changes in foreign exchange rates impact profits? Armed with the answers to questions like these, investors can get the most value out of their international portfolio-a goal that Global Equity Investing puts well within reach.

This review is from: Global Equity Investing: Using World Markets to Reduce Risk and Improve Performance (Hardcover)
A straightforward approach to using world equity markets, or equity index markets, to add diversification to your portfolio. Contains an interesting history of how investors in different countries use their capital markets, followed by a timing strategy. The book contains explanations of the extent of diversification reached by using world markets and shows how risk is substantially reduced relative to returns. The investment method offered can be used by anyone wishing to participate in international markets.
