Investors in current markets face a number of risks, including political, economic, downgrade and concentration risk.
Exposure to only one currency, such as in a locally held portfolio that’s predominantly exposed to SA assets, can lead to concentration risk. Although we have a sophisticated financial system, the JSE still makes up less than 1% of the world’s stock market capitalisation.
The need for diversification
Clients intuitively know they need to diversify in order to reduce risk. Those who only invest in SA still have a fairly risky portfolio.

The Role Of Offshore Investments In Troubled Times
