Doug Casey's International Man is a highly actionable service dedicated to making the most of your personal freedom and financial opportunity around the world.

Most people know of the general investment benefits of not having all your asset eggs in one basket. This portfolio-diversification concept—investing in multiple asset classes—also applies to the political risk associated with your home country. It is a risk few people think about diversifying.

Doug Casey has said over and over that spreading your political risk beyond a single jurisdiction is the most important thing he can recommend today.

In short, international diversification is prudent because it frees you from absolute dependence on any one country.

Achieve that freedom, and it becomes very difficult for any country to control your destiny.
