Global Perspective: Can any market keep up with US equities?

Loading player...
It seems like no market can keep up with the juggernaut that is US equities. Over the last 15-years, US equities have compounded at almost 10% per year. Meanwhile, international and even emerging market returns pale in comparison – appreciating just 5.4% and 7% per annum (in USD), respectively. US stocks now make up 60% of the MSCI All Country World Index.
Can this trend continue over the next 15 years?
During this 15-min discussion, Mohini Naidoo and Steven Romick discuss:
Where valuations of US and International markets stand today
How Steven and his team have attempted to take advantage of the current valuation environment
Examples of compelling international investments and how they compare to their US counterparts.
