USA

The market you just can't ignore

Why invest in the USA?

The US is the world’s biggest economy and has – by far – the largest stock market by capitalisation. So it should form an essential component of any portfolio that is looking for global exposure.

Best known for some of the world’s most prominent companies, the US is also home to many dynamic smaller companies, in sectors such as information technology and biotechnology.

With a can-do business environment built to inspire enterprise and achievement, the US persistently remains a land of economic opportunity.

Key US issues to consider

  • The world’s largest stock market and home to many of the world’s biggest operators in just about every market sector.
  • More than in most other countries, US companies are structured to prioritise shareholders’ needs.
  • US investors maintain high levels of investment in equities, ensuring strong support for share prices.
