The Barrack Yard Core International Portfolio is marketed at Covestor, an online marketplace that offers unique investment strategies. Clients get a secure, separately managed account in their own name, complete transparency and no hidden fees.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Marty Leclerc discuss the following:

• Why would you want to invest internationally now, instead of primarily in the U.S.? Keep in mind, the S&P 500 has outperformed the MSCI World excluding the U.S. this year. And some might say that the U.S. seems to be the relatively the safer place to invest, compared with a recession-prone Europe and China’s slowing economy. Why not  just double down here on the USA?
• Where are there opportunities to own high quality multinational stocks at low prices?
• Where are you finding international growth opportunities?
• There are inherent risks to international stocks, aren’t there? You have to deal with erratic regulation, currency fluctuations and flat-out risker markets don’t you?  How do YOU try to avoid that, or at least deal with that?
• Do global markets all tend to move together at this point, or can you still diversify with international stocks?
• How exposed to international stocks are Barrack Yard clients?
• What is special about the international strategy you make available on the Covestor platform?
• What tip could you offer to an investor who already is invested internationally or is thinking about it right now?
