Overweight international stocks now.
International equities, especially emerging markets like South Korea and Taiwan, are participating in the AI trade and outperforming the U.S. this year. Overweighting international stocks now makes sense as a tactical allocation while the broadening of AI benefits the rest of the world.

Rotation from Mega-cap Tech continues strongly
The rotation out of the Magnificent Seven has more legs as small caps, mid-caps, foreign equities, and the equal-weight S&P 500 outperform. These beneficiaries can adopt the AI trade and become more efficient, sustaining the broad market rally.

Non-US equities extremely cheap, rotate
Non-US equity markets are trading at 50-year relative lows to the US, and a secular rotation out of US big tech into international value and emerging markets is due. Specific value found in UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Brazil.

Diversify into international equity markets.
The US equity market now represents about 70% of the global equity market, which appears near its limit. Other international equity markets offer better yield and diversification benefits. With US valuations stretched and the potential for a growth shock, it makes sense to ‘shop around the world’ for more attractive equity exposure outside the US.

New secular bull in international markets
A new secular bull market has started in Japan, Europe, and emerging markets excluding China. The opportunity to diversify outside the US is one of the greatest in history, as US tech leadership will eventually wane and international markets will become the new leaders.

Prefer international equities for diversification
Valuation spreads between the U.S. and the rest of the world are at extreme levels, and earnings are starting to accelerate outside the U.S. as well. This creates an opportunity for international diversification, even though the U.S. has outperformed for 15 years. Long waves suggest periods of U.S. underperformance are likely, so maintaining exposure outside the U.S. is important.

International equities are cheaper value.
General Atlantic has shifted its portfolio from 60% US / 40% rest of world to the opposite, finding great opportunities internationally because valuations are roughly 50% cheaper than in the US. The tech waves and business model innovations are happening globally, making ex-US equities an attractive value play.

"We're in a multiyear trend of US underperformance after a 14 year trend of U.S. outperformance... Many stocks in the world are not particularly expensive. US stocks are still expensive." The speaker identifies a regime shift where capital rotates out of expensive US markets into cheaper international markets. To capture this "Rest of World" outperformance, one should buy broad international indices excluding the US. LONG international equities to capture the valuation gap and rotation. Continued US tech dominance or a global recession that strengthens the USD (flight to safety).

The S&P 500 has a 17% overweight to Technology compared to the "Rest of World" index (ACWX). Conversely, ACWX is heavily weighted towards Financials, Industrials, and Materials. Investors face a binary choice: stick with the US "hyper-investment" model or diversify. If the AI capex bet fails to pay off, the "American Exceptionalism" trade (which relies on tech dominance) unwinds. Capital must go somewhere, and it will flow to the valuation discount and cyclical bias of international markets. Long ACWX acts as a hedge against US Tech concentration risk. The recent move (ACWX outperforming US by 11% in 100 days) is statistically extreme (2-3 standard deviations), suggesting a potential short-term mean reversion or pullback before the trend continues.
