About the Presentation:

Over the past decade, U.S. equities have been driven by a strong narrative of exceptionalism—supported by dominant tech leaders, a long period of low rates, and relative economic stability. As a result, many investors began to question the role of international equities. More recently, though, we’ve started to see leadership broaden, with international markets gaining traction and, in many cases, outperforming. Harding Loevner Portfolio Specialist Apurva Schwartz will walk through what’s behind this shift, how durable it may be, and what it could mean for investors looking beyond the U.S.
