"The Australian stock market is 2% of the global market. For every great Australian company, I can name an even better international equivalent. When Bryce and I started investing, international shares were difficult. They were really expensive and most of the time, you just couldn't access most markets. And what we've seen over the last even just five years is accessibility and costs have come down so much, and it's now just as easy to buy an American share or European share as an Australian share. And so, for us it feels like a no brainer. If we look around, you know, in this room what we're using, but more generally what we use in our lives, it's Apple computers, and we search on Google, we use Microsoft products. We want to invest in what we know, and more and more of what we know are overseas listed companies." Alec Renehan.
