Investors’ shift to investing globally is only growing. It is growing, most notably at this point, in the Emerging Markets, and particularly in China. According to a recent Outlook report from Fidelity International in London, the story for equities across the world has proper momentum behind it. Though certain countries may be waxing and waning in terms of valuations, the push to invest outside of America chimes with calls that parts of the U.S. equity trade are getting bit long in the tooth. With a view from the European heights to address this moment, Fidelity Investment Director, Tom Stevenson joins this episode.
