When it comes to building a portfolio by investing in different countries that have different economic cycles, I would recommend the diversification strategy. This is because if the industries were within a country, the diversification that would be done to the portfolio would be limited. After all, these companies are more or less affected by the same economic cycle. International diversification allows investors to reduce the volatility of their returns because investing in different countries that belong to different economic cycles, which means that if you operate in a country with high inflation rates, you will have a devalued currency, non-facilitating fiscal policy, unemployment, high public debt, low GDP and the opposite.

Since investment in these countries requires the use of different currencies that are negatively correlated with each other, which means that when we have a decrease in the value of one currency that pertains to one country, we have an increase in the other currency that is negatively correlated with it. This is the only way to diversify the systematic risk. The logic is as follows ''The wider the diversification the more stable the returns and therefore the more the risk is spread''. Careful investors know that diversification in the industry leads to a lower level of risk. In this way, the systematic risk (it means that we cannot intervene to reduce it) which is when operating with companies within a country, turns into unsystematic risk.

Knowledge on Upcoming Industry Trends Managing investments across different countries puts forward risks of the ups and downs of different industries. its important to understand industrial scenario of that particular country along with economic scenario. as Industry is the mirror of the economic challenges the country faces. Hence taking a decision on sector specific stocks put forward a question on the health of that sector. Like for example - a country might be having a large old age population for which the pharma stocks derive benefit. So investment towards pharma might yield better returns.
