What are global share options and are they right for you?

 

The Australian sharemarket is full of great investment opportunities, but it represents less than 2% of the global sharemarket.

 

By buying international shares, you get exposure to some of the world’s largest and most profitable companies – think Amazon, Apple and Alphabet (Google).

 

Investing globally can also allow you to invest in emerging markets that offer great opportunities for growth.

Different investment strategies and timeframes have different levels of risk. As a general rule, the bigger the potential investment return, the higher the investment risk.
 
Understanding your tolerance for risk can help you feel more comfortable making investment decisions.
