Your primary objectives as an investor are high profits, low risk, high liquidity, and easy access. Global financial markets provide a diverse range of investment windows, each with its set of risk, liquidity, opportunity and access characteristics. You should also consider the impact of taxes and inflation on your investment, whether in the local or global markets.

To make an informed decision, weigh the benefits and drawbacks of investing in local and global markets and build a portfolio of local, global, or hybrid assets to maximise returns while minimising risk.
