Most people invest in assets like stocks or precious metals, but did you know investing in foreign currencies can also be a good way to diversify your portfolio? You may not think about it much, but purchasing power can decline rapidly. What you could buy at the grocery store for $100 30 years ago is definitely not the same as what you can get for $100 today.
One of the best ways to help preserve your purchasing power as the dollar weakens is by diversifying your portfolio with foreign currencies. This allows you to take advantage of currencies stronger than the dollar by exchanging them for the dollar when it’s weaker—effectively boosting your purchasing power!
In our ever-changing economy, it can pay—literally—to have your wealth spread across currencies. Because who knows what $100 will get you at the grocery store in another 30 years? But maybe those euros or pounds will come through for you…
