Feels like diversification with emerging/developed doesn’t protect from downside but can dampen upside
I don’t like putting money into any company that I can’t get easy press coverage on to know what’s going on. I’m pretty content on keeping mostly just US stocks and losing potentially some upside for more certainty and transparency
Sounds like a good time to buy then. Us is overvalued
No harm in allocating a small percentage to emerging markets, if you really want it. US companies typically have diversification built into their operations. And depending on the ETF, look out for the ER. I wouldn't go anything beyond 0.2%. Even that's 4x as much as a broad market based fund from Vanguard.
Sure you can disagree GS1, and there are others out there I'm sure. Getting an individual to pay more in ER is how fund families make money. The average investor should be always looking to pay the least, because fees and expenses add up. Difference of 0.5% over 20 years adds up to a lot of money.
