Is your club interested in international investments?
Does your portfolio need an equity makeover?
We are pleased to have a guest speaker for the bivio March Club Meeting Meeting on March 8 at 8:30PM ET. Sharon McAllister will be joining us to discuss international investing with you. Sharon has an accounting and computer science background and has been an active investor for over 25 years. She has also been an active volunteer for several groups which provide resources and education for individual investors and investment clubs.
The United States represents 30% of the world market capitalization. If you only invest within the US you may be ignoring a world of opportunities. Broaden your investment horizons by learning about the many ways you can approach international investing. You'll learn about global trends and growth opportunities as well as special risks associated with international investments and how these same benefits and risks may impact multi-national corporations.
Sharon will be discussing:
Global trends and growth opportunities
Benefits of international exposure
Top concerns that may go bump in the night
Five ways to invest and the associated transaction costs for each of them:
US multi-nationals
Exchange Traded Funds, ETFs
Mutual Funds
American Depositary Receipts, ADRs

We will be announcing some very exciting news for your club within the next couple of weeks.
