i myself recently invested quite a bit in the financial markets , ive some money in a u.s corporate bond investment grade etf but most is in u.s domiciled equity etf,s which cover europe , about 10% is japan and pacific region however and im wondering if there is any real point in this , with the euro rising , it cancels out any gains in japan , australia etc , is the eurozone diversified enough to warrant being simply invested in this region alone
i have no etf,s which cover the usa and its more down to a fear of a rising euro v dollar than the u.s market being more expensive than europe , the etf ( VEA ) is 21% pacific and that is by far my largest etf , the other being EZU ( eurozone ) , i also have less than half a dozen individual companies but this comes to less than 20 k
im just wondering if those who often advise to simply buy a global etf ( which is usually 50% north america and the european end of it being predominantly uk ) are ignoring currency
this is not meant to be a thread about my own situation BTW , was just trying to illustrate point about regional focus
