Portfolio Management Discussion Question

[DeletedUser394]

There are two countries.

Country A has a population of 1 billion.
Country B has a population of 50 million.

They have equal GDP growth, and are both fairly stable politically and have nearly the same tax laws.

Investing in Country A means:

Pro: More opportunities to make money (through stocks and bonds).
Con: A lot more institutional interest, and a lot more sophisticated competition.

Investing in Country B means:

Pro: A lot less institutional interest, and a lot less sophisticated competition. Easier to make profits.
Con: But less opportunities to make money than country A (through stocks and bonds).

The same comparison can be made between Large Blue Chip stocks and small to medium cap companies in the US.

You can also compare it to owning a tiny portion of a large pie (with stiff competition), or a large portion of a Medium pie (with less competition) (but holding huge power within that small pie)

Which would you lean towards as an investment? Country A or Country B, and why?

I'm leaning towards Country A, because you might as well strive to be one of the best, or there's no point in trying at all. You can also raise more capital in larger markets.

Country B is still attractive from the power standpoint. Having larger political power in smaller markets is helpful in advancing your interests (without breaking any laws).

What do you think?
