Own the World: How Smart Investors Create Global Portfolios

It would be a mistake to call Own the World from Fisher Investments Press a global investing guide. Guides typically tell you where to go. Travel guides list the best hotels, museums, and cafes in cities all over the planet. But they don’t necessarily tell you why you should go there. As you’ll read, the composition of the world’s stock markets provides the best guide for investors. Own the World from Fisher Investments Press is more of a treatise explaining why you should invest globally, the tools available to global investors, and many of the things to watch out for.

Fisher Investments feels books touting specific markets to invest in are often a waste of money. They’re usually written about stocks in countries that have done well in the past because many investors are interested in learning about the next hot market. But Fisher Investments believes markets are dynamic, and today’s hot market might be tomorrow’s dud. Dozens of books were written about investing in China after Chinese stocks boomed in 2007. But in 2008, many Chinese shares gave back most if not all of their 2007 gains. Fisher Investments feels that chasing hot markets can be like chasing your tail. Quite often, you end up biting yourself in the rear.
