I am currently deciding on a portfolio - I remember seeing threads on askaboutmoney.com that discussed allocations with regard to global region but cannot find these threads despite having used every reasonable search term I can think of.
Can anyone point me in the direction of those threads or any online material that might make a good read.
I am currently considering something along the lines of the following
USA 35%
UK 15%
Europe 25%
India 25% (split between property fund and sensex tracker)
with the intention of rebalancing on a yearly basis or after any major market shifts, though I will redistibute in asia once feel a bit more sure about entering the chinese market.
If anyone has any related comments I would be interested in hearing them - especially with respect to some outside influences on my portfolio choices , namely that fact that between my partner and I we are quite exposed to a single company in the USA through an employee stock purchase scheme with favourable terms, and the fact that our pensions may skew our overall balance. Would it be best to disregard these factors when assembling the portfolio?
