...Hi Gail, I'm not sure if we disagree or not.<br /><br />I do agree that a portfolio can benefit from international diversification, especially over the long term (my own has about a third of its total value in USA, developed and emerging equities). The returns will likely be a bit better and the overall volatility less. But I think the other points in my suitability criteria list outweigh international diversification in importance since they can undermine results a lot more and a lot faster. <br /><br />Larry Macdonald's One-Minute portfolio, which has only Canadian equity, shows that such a portfolio can do very well over the long term. So, in my mind, international diversification is good to have but not essential.CanadianInvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645767559302303541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433839636644874439.post-68190877870901375552017-01-16T23:08:23.259+00:002017-01-16T23:08:23.259+00:00Only Canadian stocks in the "low risk" p...Only Canadian stocks in the "low risk" portfolio? This, to my mind, is not a suitable portfolio for anyone. <br />In my opinion, any portfolio must have international diversification, at the very least some US stocks.
