In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, explores the role of international investments in a well-balanced portfolio. While many investors focus on domestic markets, international stocks have shown significant potential - sometimes even outperforming U.S. stocks. Darryl unpacks insights from leading financial institutions, including Hartford and Fidelity, to assess whether now is the time to increase international exposure. Key highlights of the episode include: • Why international stocks are gaining traction and how they fit into a diversified portfolio. • The difference between domestic, international, and global investments - and why it matters. • How emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, India, and China compare to developed markets in Europe and Japan. • The risks of international investing, including currency fluctuations, geopolitical tensions, and different accounting standards. • Why experts suggest a shift toward higher international allocations in portfolios over the next decade. A well-structured investment strategy considers more than just past performance, it looks at evolving global trends, economic shifts, and risk management. As interest rates, inflation, and trade policies change, now may be the time to reassess your international allocation.
