Home Country Bias - What Is It, and Why Does It Matter?


Listen Later

Welcome back to Efficient Markets.

On today's episode, we talk about home country bias.

According to Statista.com - Canadian stocks make up 2.4% of the total global equity market capitalization.  According to Vanguard, Canadians, on average, allocate about 56% of their equity portfolios to Canadian stocks.

This is what is called a home country bias.

We talk about the issues with allocating so much of your portfolio to Canadian stocks and some of the reasons that you may want to diversify away from Canada in your portfolios.

Detailed show notes and links can be found on my blog this week at www.walhoutfinancial.ca.  Thank you for listening.
