  • The US is not the world and just buying a handful of US stocks and maybe a couple of Chinese stocks is not really global diversification, says First Global chairperson Devina Mehra

The article from Livemint discusses investment strategies for global markets, focusing on insights from Devina Mehra, the founder and chairperson of First Global. Mehra advises investors to consider global diversification due to the potential for rupee depreciation, which could benefit those with investments in foreign currencies. She highlights the importance of understanding the economic cycles of different countries, suggesting that while the U.S. might be in a late stage of its economic cycle, other regions like China could offer growth opportunities despite current economic challenges. Mehra recommends investing in broad-based ETFs or mutual funds for global exposure rather than picking individual stocks, due to the complexities involved in understanding foreign markets. She also touches on the benefits of investing in developed markets for stability and emerging markets for growth, while cautioning about the risks associated with currency fluctuations and geopolitical issues. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for a long-term investment horizon and a well-thought-out asset allocation strategy when venturing into global investments.
