Many US investors invest solely in domestic stocks. Fisher Investments believes stock ownership is the American way! Often, our preference for US stocks begins at an early age. Maybe your grandparents gave you a few stock certificates as a kid, hoping you’d become a young tycoon. But no matter when they start, most folks begin with well-known US companies. Stocks like Coca-Cola, General Electric, General Motors, or Procter & Gamble may have comprised your fledgling portfolio instead of Toyota, British Petroleum, or Nokia.
And why shouldn’t most investors’ first inkling be to invest only in the US? For a long time, sticking with US stocks was probably very rational. For much of modern history, hurdles to foreign investing were relatively high — particularly for individual investors. But the investing world is changing rapidly, and Fisher Investments feels the majority of these hurdles have toppled like the Berlin Wall, making foreign investing easier than ever.
