A new era for Canadian #Investment?

The global economic recession has lead to many unexpected consequences, one being countries branching out across their borders to find new business partners.

No one needs to be told what the economy has been like all over the world for the last few years. Many of us are very pessimistic about what the future might hold, however there have been unexpected benefits to the world economy’s most recent slump.

When the situation is good for a country, there is not always a strong reason to look elsewhere for business – a company may have all they need right there at home. When things get rough, however, companies need to take the work as well as the savings wherever they can get it. Borders begin to open up a little more, international business expands, and suddenly firms have business partners from countries they had never even considered working with before. This has been reaching into nearly all industries – healthcare, agriculture, even finance.

Enter Canada. At the moment, the Canadian market is not diverse enough for sophisticated investors to construct an optimum quant portfolio, leading Canadian investors to look beyond the border to improve their portfolios. Many investors are interested in finding investments with a low correlation in order to hedge risks in this unpredictable an ever-changing world.

While the financial world is busy looking to the future, a big part of preventing future losses is to find out where things went wrong in the first place. An article provided by HAGIN Investment Management lends investors some insights on asset allocation in a crash-prone world and improving your quant portfolio.
