Sun Life Investment Management and Trust Corp. head of equities and global funds Mikko Vergara underscored the importance of global investing as a crucial strategy for long-term wealth creation.
“Global diversification gives your portfolio exposure to more economic growth catalysts and a wider set of issuers,” said Vergara.
“By investing in companies and markets around the world, you can tap into diverse opportunities and potentially enhance your returns. For example, you may gain exposure to innovative technologies in Asia, diverse bond markets in Europe or emerging economies in Latin America,” Vergara said.
One of the key advantages of global investing lies in its ability to mitigate risk. Vergara said.
“Global investing can introduce uncorrelated assets into your portfolio, which can help manage volatility during various market cycles,” said Vergara.
