If you want to build a globally diversified portfolio you can do that with just two funds. A global equity fund and a global bond fund.

In this video, I show you why you may want to include bonds in your portfolio and explain what is meant by duration risk and the benefits of currency hedging. I then go on to review some of the best bond funds to invest in for both UK and US investors and finally I end by giving you my own personal preferences for the best bond fund in each category and region.
