US Equities Aren’t the Only Game in Town – Time to Diversify

Global Markets Are Gaining Strength – Are You Paying Attention?

Editorial Team (ET)October 6, 2025

For years, US equities have been the undisputed leaders of global markets. The Magnificent 7—Tesla, Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta—have delivered staggering returns, making them the cornerstone of many investment portfolios. However, putting all your eggs in the US stock market basket may not be the best long-term strategy.

Investors often get caught in the cycle of chasing past performance, assuming that what has worked will continue to do so. But history shows that no market outperforms forever. Today, many global markets present compelling opportunities that shouldn’t be ignored.

Beyond the Magnificent 7: Global Stocks on the Rise

If you think US equities are the only game in town, consider this: over the past year, UK banks have outperformed the tech-heavy Mag 7. That’s right—traditional banking stocks like Metro Bank, NatWest, and Lloyds Banking Group posted higher returns than some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley.

Meanwhile, German stocks have surged past their US counterparts since the 2024 presidential election, despite economic concerns in Europe. This trend suggests a shift in global market dynamics, where investors are rediscovering opportunities outside the US.

The Case for Diversifying Beyond the US

Investors looking to hedge against potential downturns in US equities should consider markets that have been undervalued for years. Here’s why diversification makes sense now:

European Equities Show Renewed Strength European markets, particularly banking stocks, have been on an upswing. One key reason? Unlike during the 2008 financial crisis, European banks have finally strengthened their balance sheets, removing a major drag on regional markets.
Emerging Markets: Undervalued and Ready to Grow China and Brazil stand out as markets offering deep value. While Western investors have been hesitant due to political and economic uncertainties, their stock markets are priced at levels that could provide significant upside potential.
The Passive Investing Risk in the US A growing portion of US market capitalization is controlled by passive investing. As more investors pile into index funds, individual stock valuations become increasingly correlated. This creates a potential risk—if the US market experiences a downturn, passive investors could amplify the decline, leading to a sharper correction.

Smart Investors Look Beyond Just One Market

Investment success is about managing risks and seizing opportunities. While US equities remain a strong choice, the global landscape offers untapped potential. Whether it’s European financials, emerging markets, or undervalued sectors outside of big tech, now is the time to think beyond the S&P 500.

Investors who spread their portfolios across different regions and sectors position themselves for long-term growth while minimizing risk. The message is clear: don’t get stuck in a US-centric mindset—there’s a world of opportunity out there.
