EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Geographical Diversifiaction.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Geographical diversification of in
vestment risk Is as important as any
other kind. 1t seldom happens that all
parts of the world are affected by de-
preston at one time. 1t seldom hap
pens that all the world markets are
inflated simultaneously. There are gen.
orally opportunities for profitable in
vestment In some country when a SELL
ing policy Is indicated in the markets
elsewhere.
One of the strong points about the
investment trust idea is that these
organizations are able through their
large resources and expert analytic staff
to take advantage of this situation.
The American Founders Trust, one of
the oldest of the American companies
in this f1eki, makes an interesting show
ing In its annual report on the matter
of geographical distribution of its mold
ings.
The report states that over So per
cent of its investments are in the
United States, which is, of course, not
surprising 1t would be expected that
the larger part of its funds would be
placed at home. 1t is enlightening,
however, that more than "a per cent
should be taken out in Continental Eu-
rope. The balance is made up of some
. per C6Ilb III tAle oIIAoII GIlpuc d1iu
possessions, 3i2 per cent in Central and
South America and sla per cent In
Asia.
The report of the associated trust,
the International Securities Corpora
ton, is still more striking. This cor
poration has more than 81 per cent
of its investments in Continental Eu-
rope including, of course, foreign bonds
payable in United States dollars. Only
about 80 per cent is invested in the
United States and it's possessions.
Whether this distribution should be
Initiated by private investors is a ques-
ton to which no off f-hand answer can
be given. The fact is, nevertheless, that
in the judgment of the staff of these
two leading companies the foreign OBJ
legation is one of the most attractive
opportunities Of the day
