Almost every country has a capital market, but each country has differences in stock movements and returns. In general, international stock fundamentals are better than local stocks. International stocks are more difficult to monitor because we have to diligently read international news, so it is also more difficult for us to determine a purchasing strategy. From my observations, investors who had capital of $1000 ten years ago and bought local leading shares (blue chips in my country) are now worth US$ 2100. Meanwhile, investors who bought international leading shares with the same capital of $1000 are currently worth US$ 2100. $1600. So in terms of returns local shares are more profitable. but fundamentally local shares are riskier.
