Default Re: if we go into a recession or bear market
International equities are highly correlated to US markets. Small international/emerging are slightly less correlated.


The best diversifiers of an equity portfolio are:

CCFs (negative correlation to stocks with medium returns)
TIPS (negative correlation to stocks with low returns)
REITs (low to middling correlation with stocks with medium/high returns)
