How to Globally Diversify Your Portfolio

Global Diversification

Right now is a great time to reflect on the past year’s investment performance and consider your investment strategy. In most cases, the more that assets are accumulated the greater the need for diversification. For example, if we look back on 2015, investors who held only or primarily the S&P 500 had virtually nothing to show for it. While others who had some or more holdings of Italy’s, France’s or Germany’s indexes performed well. Along with this both China’s Shanghai composite and Japan’s Nikkei stock average also had good results.

How about you globally diversify your portfolio? By holding some of each of these indexes, the overall outcome would have been better than being limited to the S&P 500. While the US economy is a leader among the other countries, it doesn’t always perform well.

So what should you look for when you globally diversify your portfolio?

Insurance Claim: Read Yours

So what actually happens when doctors file a long-term disability insurance claim? Does the process go as expected or do they find themselves in for a rude awakening?

Really, it all depends on what type of insurance policy is in place.

Just as with many other contracts that doctors sign. Without reviewing the fine print, physicians tend to put their faith in the advice of the agent. Or other insurance representative who says they have their best interest in mind.

All too often what happens is the physician has no idea what they signed up for. They likely never even read the contract. Or forgot because it’s been a long time since they had gone over their coverage. What can cause even more trouble is what happens when an insurance claim is filed on policies that didn’t require health screening when the policy was originally taken out.
