15. International Investing Is Too High-Risk
Some investors believe that international investments offer too much risk. However, research from Fidelity shows otherwise.
Fidelity found that a portfolio with 70 percent U.S. stocks and 30 percent international equities offered less volatility than an all-U.S. stock portfolio. Although this investment scenario hasn’t performed as well in the past decade, Fidelity said “given the cyclicality of U.S. and foreign stock returns, history suggests their relationship could revert to historical norms at some stage.”
