Dr. Marston, one of the leading investment minds in the industry, will discuss these and other issues in what should prove to be a lively dialog.

Replay: Global Equity Diversification

October 29, 2009

On Thursday, October 29 at 4 p.m., Chief Investment Officer Jeff Applegate and Chief Investment Strategist David Darst discussed the benefits of globally centric asset allocation for equities.

Globalization is not a new phenomenon. And yet, many investors are not positioned to benefit from it because their equity portfolios are still heavily weighted toward developed markets, especially the US. As emerging markets increasingly power global growth, Jeff and David explain why portfolios should increase exposure to the expanding long-term potential offered within a global context. You are invited to listen to the rationale behind their thinking and how to harness this potential for your portfolio.
