摘要
Critics of international diversification observe that it does not protect investors against short-term market crashes because markets become more correlated during downturns. Although trite, this observation misses the big picture. Over longer horizons, underlying economic growth matters more than short-lived panics with respect to returns, and international diversification does an excellent job of protecting investors.
