Investing in the Global Economy
Over the past five years, emerging markets like the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) have been the engine for most of the world’s growth — a trend expected to continue for decades. In September, the International Monetary Fund predicted that emerging economies would grow 6.4 percent in 2012, while developed economies would grow a mere 1.6 percent.
Banking on the Global Lifestyle
Debi Yohn, a psychologist who divides her time between Shanghai, China and the United States, loves her itinerant lifestyle. She gives speeches around the world and counsels expatriates who are adjusting to living on foreign terrain. At the same time, she notes that hopping between continents can bring banking challenges. “Because of concern for terrorism and money-laundering, there are a lot more rules for moving money from country to country than there used to be,” she says.
Reaching for Retirement
For many Americans, retirement security has become a moving target. They’re living longer, which means their nest eggs must last longer. They’re seeing that expenses often go up in retirement rather than down, especially healthcare expenses. Traditional pension plans, once a bedrock source of retirement income for many, continue to disappear, while volatile financial markets test the seaworthiness of self-directed retirement savings plans.
