New report analyzes the trends of investing in an interconnected
world
Wells Fargo Investment Institute (WFII) today released a new
thematic report, “The Future of Globalization – Investing in an
Interconnected World.” Over the next decade, WFII expects that
innovative technologies will continue to forge even greater global
connectedness, but that new investment opportunities will emerge
with the changing composition of trade and its destinations. The
report addresses the nature of globalization, the evolution of
trade in consumer goods and services, increased information and
innovation, the demographic impact on trade, and emerging risks and
subsidiary trends. The report also outlines ways in which
geopolitical tensions and protectionist trade policies will
influence the mix between domestic and international portfolio
allocations.

“The familiar pattern of extended supply chains fragmented
across multiple low-wage production centers appears to be evolving
towards more concentrated, high-tech, and regional trade,” said
Paul Christopher, head of Global Market Strategy for WFII. “We
believe the reshaping of global trade will present broader and
persistent opportunities in traded services and new technologies,
but that supply chains will be shorter and focused around Asia and
the U.S.”
The report addresses key questions for investors to
consider:
- How may globalization evolve and create opportunities for
investors?
- Which economic and geopolitical forces may shape future
globalization?
- How may technological innovation help drive these trends?
- What risks may impede globalization and which investments may
benefit?
The report also outlines three international trends that can
help investors as they prepare to reposition their portfolios over
the next decade:
- Globalization favors the U.S. and parts of developing Asia over
other regions of the world
- Certain sectors should benefit from expanding automation and
services trade
- Centrifugal forces will remain, but investors have potential
hedges
WFII strategists favor a larger exposure to the U.S. than
international markets and international exposure that favors
emerging markets across China, India, and Southeast Asia.

Risk considerations
Different investments offer different levels of potential return
and market risk. The level of risk associated with a particular
investment or asset class generally correlates with the level of
return the investment or asset class might achieve. Stock
markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile. Stock values
may fluctuate in response to general economic and market
conditions, the prospects of individual companies, and industry
sectors. Foreign investing has additional risks including
those associated with currency fluctuation, political and economic
instability, and different accounting standards. These risks are
heightened in emerging markets. These risks are heightened in
emerging markets. Sector investing can be more
volatile than investments that are broadly diversified over
numerous sectors of the economy and will increase a portfolio’s
vulnerability to any single economic, political, or regulatory
development affecting the sector. This can result in greater price
volatility.
