Is It Time for Investors to Rethink Global Diversification?

In light of evolving tariff policies, market commentators are questioning whether a large international presence is becoming more of a challenge than an asset for U.S. companies. In this video, Focus Partners’ Jason Blackwell discusses how shifts in global trade and domestic production could be reshaping investment trends.

As large U.S. companies like those in the S&P 500 generate substantial revenue from international markets—and as foreign firms become less reliant on the U.S.—understanding the geographic sources of a company’s revenue may be an increasingly relevant consideration for investors. Diversification may involve more than just a company’s headquarters; it can also include where its earnings are derived. In an environment where policies may shift toward reduced globalization, some investors may place greater emphasis on U.S. businesses with less dependence on global trade. Those seeking exposure to international consumer growth may consider investing in companies outside the U.S. that produce and sell within their home markets.

If you have any questions about how these trends may shape your investment strategy, speak with your financial advisor.
