🇪🇺📈 European Equity Performance: Why Diversification is Your Friend. Europe plays a significant role in the asset allocation of many investors, whether as a collective entity or through individual country strategies. Examining the relative performance of European countries year over year provides interesting insights.   📊 Typically, there is a wide dispersion in returns among individual countries, with spreads of up to 50% in a single year not uncommon. This is often driven by the dominance of a few companies or industries in smaller countries, resulting in overrepresentation among both top performers and laggards. On the other hand, larger countries tend to cluster around the middle in terms of performance.   Furthermore, the leaderboard is constantly changing, with high-performing countries of previous years experiencing considerable reversion. It's important to note that while some countries may have impressive runs, such as 🇸🇪 Sweden from 2018 to 2021, or difficult periods, like 🇧🇪 Belgium since 2017, diversification is generally a wiser choice than placing large bets on small markets.   💡 By diversifying across multiple countries, investors can potentially mitigate risks associated with concentrated exposures and benefit from the varied performance dynamics within the European landscape.   ❔ What are your thoughts on the performance of individual European countries?
