Good time to invest overseas?

The U.S. Dollar is nearing a seven year low vs. the Ruble and it is likely it will fall even further. We could list why the strength of the Ruble and why the weakness of the U.S. Dollar, but let us briefly focus on how to play this strategy. When investing oversees, the two most obvious risks are the security you buy and the currency risk. There are now a multitude of Russian fixed income instruments to choose from, denominated in Rubles. These range from 6 months to around three years. We still think there is room for currency appreciation over the next year or two to enhance your return. Contact us for a list of customized candidates to add to your portfolio.
