The case for international equities

Capital Group portfolio manager Gerald Du Manoir talks about the importance of including international equities in a well-diversified portfolio, despite years of lagging index returns relative to U.S. markets. It’s not about investing in geographic regions, he explains, but specific company-by-company opportunities.

Du Manoir is an equity portfolio manager with 29 years of investment experience, 28 with Capital Group. Earlier in his career at Capital, he covered European construction and building materials and European consumer goods companies as an investment analyst. He holds a degree in international finance from the Institut Superieur de Gestion in Paris.
