Why consider global investments?
Across Africa, more people are banking internationally, growing their personal wealth and building an investment portfolio that’s diverse and robust. The motivations range from day-to-day transactions to supporting family abroad, setting up a nest egg that will be there for your golden years or simply making travelling internationally simpler.
Let’s explore why you should invest internationally.
Global opportunities are accessible from home
There are several benefits to investing internationally. The immediate benefit is managing risk, otherwise known as risk diversity. Diversifying your investments and spreading them across countries, currencies and asset classes reduce your exposure to specific risks.
International investing also gives you access to a wider pool of investment opportunities, while investing internationally with an established bank also has the benefit of taking weight off your mind. Rather than your investments being another item on your to-do list, you can put your trust in a secure, well-regulated, risk-managed investment.
If you want to be actively involved in your investment portfolio, Standard Bank Offshore offers wealth management solutions that allow you to be as hands-on as you want. However, we also offer discretionary portfolio services for those who want a team of experienced investment professionals to manage their investments.
Should you expand into an international investment portfolio, this will also allow you to diversify your personal wealth and spread investment risk so you can safeguard your money from geopolitical risk.
