Is non US equity a good idea for international diversification
I have a 75:25 equity debt split current and am looking to move 15% of the Indian equity to foreign holdings
Reasons are
- Getting close to retirement(10 years away) and want to reduce volatility
- Had it as ppfas was my only fund for a long time but had to reduce it in favour of hybrid funds
- International companies are a lot cheaper than Indian equivalent in a lot of cases, eg suzuki vs maruti, google, microsoft vs Infosys, TCS etc
I lost hope of the RBI lifting restrictions and have decided to invest directly via vested
Broadly I wanted to narrow by option between the US market and all world
Drawbacks of all world is
- I don't want china and (more)India exposure
- Growth generally is lower in ex us developed markets
- Withholding taxes on non us equity
On the other side the world has underperformed the US since 2009 and this might reduce volatility
