Should You Invest in Japan?

Should You Invest in Japan?

On this week’s episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE, host Chris Galeski welcomes Wealth Advisor Jon Wingent to discuss opportunities in international investing.

Here are some key takeaways from their conversation:

• Most investors tend to have a home country bias, allocating most of their investments toward domestic stocks and companies.
• Most investors hold less than 10% of their portfolios in international stocks, despite the U.S. making up only 24% of global GDP.
• Jon says U.S. stocks are currently more expensive compared to international stocks. Furthermore, international stocks can offer higher dividend yields than U.S. stocks.
• Warren Buffett has invested a significant amount in Japan, indicating long-term potential. The weaker yen, economic reforms, and tourism boom have attracted a considerable amount of foreign investments in Japan recently.
• Chris and Jon touch on the potential of emerging markets like India, Brazil and Vietnam, which have growing middle classes and are making favorable progress in fiscal policy.
