In the previous chapters, we covered why investing globally makes sense, how to go about doing it, and how to move money across borders.

That is genuinely more than most people know before they invest a single rupee internationally.

But knowing why and how still leaves one big question open.

Where, exactly, should you invest? As in which geography – we touched upon this in Chapter 1 when we discussed diversification.

So, for most global investors, the answer begins with the United States. Not because of Hollywood of course 🙂 but because it is the largest, most liquid, and most consequential stock market on earth by a significant margin.

If you are going to invest internationally, you will almost certainly be investing in the US market. And before you do that, you need to understand what you are walking into.
