Why You Must Invest Beyond Britain

In this week’s episode:

This time Owain is joined by Gemma Godfrey, head of Investment Strategy at Brooks Macdonald, the AIM-listed wealth management group, to discuss the role of international investments in our portfolios. In these turbulent times, it can seem like every region of the world is afflicted by some economic or political crisis or another. But is this a reason to bunker down in Britain and to keep all your investments at home? Hardly! Gemma takes us on a whirlwind tour of all the globe's major markets and explains the risks and rewards of putting money to work overseas. A transcript of this podcast is also available.

 

Are you looking to profit from this uncertain economy? "10 Steps To Making A Million In The Market" is the very latest Motley Fool guide to help Britain invest. Better. We urge you to read the report today -- it's free.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
