The European Market Brief 23: The Case for a Global Portfolio

Is it time to look past the U.S. tech concentration? For many traders, "the market" has become synonymous with a handful of domestic tech names. But with 40% of the world's investable equity sitting outside the U.S., ignoring the international tape means missing out on massive shifts in financials, defense, and emerging tech hubs.
