Hey everyone, I’ve been investing in the US market for about 1-3 years now. Recently, I had a conversation with a friend about exclusively investing in the US market. I received a lot of feedback, with some suggesting that solely focusing on one country might not be the wisest approach. They mentioned concerns about potential setbacks, such as experiencing a ‘lost decade’ or becoming too reliant on a single market.
Their input has made me reconsider my investment strategy. Currently, I’m holding equally allocation of VOO, QQQ, and SCHD, but I’m contemplating whether I should diversify further by adding an international ETF like VT to my portfolio. I’m 27 years old and plan to invest until retirement. I started this portfolio in 2021, and I’m satisfied with its current performance.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Is it unwise to solely invest in the US market?
