The Importance of Being Globally Diversified

I know a lot of people, including myself have been caught with my pants down when it comes to US equities. I was 50% VEQT and 50% VFV. Without realizing it, my portfolio was way too US centric. With the tariffs, dismantling of rule of law, and just dramatic changes to the US institutions, it made a lot of investors spooked. Investors are moving money into European and Chinese stocks. However, if we just followed the VEQT/XEQT/XGRO/VGRO and chill route, we would have all been safer.

It's always good to globally diversify!!!!
