Market Correlation

Many people with access to much greater tools and information have pondered such great thoughts, specifically Gary Brinson and the institutional acceptance of international diversification and its benefit.  In Gary's honor, I submit the following three year chart.

The international diversification free lunch is over and those with superior risk management skills will achieve superior returns.
