Global equity refers to the ownership of shares in companies that operate in various countries around the world. Investors buy these shares to gain a stake in the growth and profits of businesses outside their home markets. This investment strategy allows individuals and institutions to diversify their portfolios and potentially benefit from economic growth in different regions. Investing in global equity can involve purchasing stocks directly or through mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on international markets. By spreading investments across different countries, investors can reduce risk and take advantage of opportunities in emerging markets, such as those in Asia or Latin America.
