Global ETFs: Build a diversified portfolio without picking every stock
About this Live Session
Building a global portfolio does not always mean researching and picking individual stocks. Global ETFs can give investors exposure to multiple companies, sectors, and countries through a single investment, making diversification simpler and more accessible.
In this session, we will explore how Global ETFs work and how investors can use them to build a diversified portfolio without having to select every stock individually. We will also look at how to evaluate ETFs, understand their underlying exposure, and choose the right mix based on your investment goals and risk profile.
The session is designed to help investors understand the role of ETFs in global portfolio construction and build a more diversified approach to international investing.
