In this episode of Practical Cents, Cullen Martin, CFP®, discusses the shifting cycles between U.S. and international stock market performance. After a decade-plus of U.S. equity dominance, international stocks showed strong relative performance through mid-2026. Is it time to adjust your portfolio allocation?

Chasing recent performance can lead to costly investment mistakes. Historically, U.S. and international stocks cycle through periods of outperformance. We explore why maintaining a globally diversified portfolio and a disciplined rebalancing strategy are key to long-term wealth management and risk mitigation.

Cullen explains why Presilium believes in maintaining exposure to both U.S. and international stocks, how market cycles influence portfolio performance, and why rebalancing can help investors stay aligned with their long-term financial plan.

What you'll learn

• Why international stocks have recently outperformed U.S. stocks

• How U.S. and international markets have experienced different periods of outperformance

• Why predicting which market will perform best next is difficult

• How global diversification can help manage portfolio concentration risk

• Why portfolio rebalancing involves selling investments that have performed well and buying those that have lagged

• How a disciplined investment strategy can help keep your portfolio aligned with your long-term goals

At Presilium Private Wealth, diversification and disciplined rebalancing are important components of our investment philosophy. By maintaining a long-term perspective and evaluating portfolio allocations within the context of each client's financial plan, we help clients navigate changing market conditions without relying on predictions about which market will lead next.
