I'm at 75/25 us to international. I think I read it in random walk on Wallstreet.

I don't mind the risk because I do have a pension and rental income. I'm 42 and I still have some growth to gain before I need to be conservative. I'm also an avid traveler and it confirms my, your belief that our country is incredible but I've seen some serious potential in other parts of the world.

As a Korean investor living in the U.S., the reason why I’m hesitant to invest in international stocks is the exact opposite of what you said: I’m too familiar with some of them and not in a good way. Heck, Koreans always bash on KOSPI (Korean stock market) and make fun of it because when Dow goes up by 10, KOSPI gets a boost by maybe 2, and when Dow goes down by 10, KOSPI tumbles by 20. And that includes our golden child, Samsung. Granted, there may be good companies that make up the ex-US market, but there are also a lot that are worse than the Korean ones. And this makes me weary of investing in all foreign companies through index funds/ETFs (where I have no control over which companies to invest in.)

I have an explanation for this, and that is that US companies are very honest usually in their FS reporting because the entire system is already setup to maximize stockholder values in terms of low or zero taxes, minimal regulation etc. Asian companies on the other hand have to do a lot of underhanded magic give the majority shareholders or owners a reasonable return and this comes at the expense of the minority shareholders usually in the form of related party transactions and outright fraud.

Similar to how energy never disappears. It just transfers from one state of matter into another; So does your money. If your favorite US fund / stock looses profits there's a high probability that it may have been transferred out internationally. Setting yourself up for international exposure allows you to be in the receiving end of that transfer of matter/money(same difference). 😉👍

20% in developed markets only - I consider emerging markets too volatile. You could have elaborated that "investing international" is more complicated then yes/no/how much - you also need to decide which proportion of your investment is going to developed markets, emerging markets, or both. Developed markets tend to be much more stable than emerging markets and if you buy a "total international fund" like VXUS then you should know that the fund invests in both (and you may or may not want that).

Technically I don't avoid small cap because those stocks are already held within my total u.s. stock funds. I personally don't tilt towards them because I prefer to stay broad and allow the market to dictate the cap weighting for me with U.S. stocks. Not sure I have the conviction to tilt a little towards SCV and hold on during the down years so it's probably better for me to avoid it completely.

I live in Canada, but for the purpose of this comment, I'll define "international" as "outside the U.S.A.". I currently have about 50% of my money in the USA, 20% in Canada, 17% outside North America (about 1/3 in emerging markets), and 13% in fixed income. I've chosen this as a healthy balance between mirroring the total world market, and some of my own investment preferences, like having some extra money in Canada (no withholding taxes!) and some fixed income to stabilize things. I plan to bring down the fixed income to 10% and the non-North America up to 20% when my next GIC matures. I've consider going 80% USA, but ultimately, I don't want to risk losing everything. There are less things that can got catastrophically wrong if I diversify my investments, and I'd rather retire with less money than risk not being able to retire at all.

As American as type 2 diabetes. As a Brit, I honour your self deprecative humour sir

The fallacy of this strategy is that besides US, there are some mid-wealth EU country that outperformed US by like 40 times, the problem is that they are much less stable, much less diversified, have massive geopolitical risks or just one or two companies in entire country drive whole stock market returns, meanwhile the others either don't move or tank to 0. Anyway, if you want to generate higher returns in statistically verified way, you could buy some index fund of small cap value stocks, but keep it at low portfolio allocation. One more important thing is that stocks as they are already are relatively unstable asset, compare them to bonds or saving accounts, or even real estate and you will realize that almost nothing is more risky than stocks, so prioritizing risk reduction factors just makes sense.

Agree and like jarrad said in another video you need to sell out if you transfer your funds

Historically 20-40% international has improved risk adjusted return over a US-only portfolio. There are some other things not mentioned in this video that still make me international-adverse, so I target 15-20% international exposure, which gives the bulk of the risk adjustment. Classic investing advice is to not own too much stock in the company you work for - if something bad happens they may lay off workers, and when you are laid off, that is a time you may need to liquidate stock, which is painful if it is down at the time. Similar logic isn't difficult by extension to nations, but for the inverse reason. If something bad happens like say... Russia and the U.S. start throwing ICBMs at one another. Sure, a fully internationally diversified portfolio will probably look a lot better than a U.S. only portfolio at that time. But also, I probably won't be around to enjoy it. Similarly, if I had the U.S. only portfolio, I probably have bigger problems than my retirement portfolio anyways.

32% in developed markets

Companies value are future EXPECTED cashflows discounted by the risk free rate and the risk premiums like the equity risk premium. Owning one stock vs owning 3000 stocks the equity risk premium does not change but the risk does. So if the market is efficient both US and international stocks are as good investments because all the benefits the US companies have are priced in as higher cashflows are expected from US companies. So owning as much public companies as possible and not only the US you get the same EXPECTED returns BUT lower long term risk. The reason the US outperformed in the past is that expected cashflows for US companies went up due to Unexpected events Noone could predict. Market is not stupid it whould not let US stocks be better investments, markets are efficient.

I'm still not a believer in international funds.
