Why International Stocks Belong in Your Portfolio
About this episode
In this episode, Andy discusses the importance of including international stocks in investment portfolios and explains how to invest in them.
In this episode of Money Lessons, Andy widens the map beyond American markets to make the case for owning international stocks. He explains home-country bias — the natural pull to invest only in the companies of your own country — and points out that more than a third of the world's stock market value sits outside the United States. Andy walks through the two practical ways an ordinary investor can own foreign companies: broad international index funds and ETFs, and American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs, for a single overseas company.
