I want to get started in investing with moderate risk. Are global investments more profitable?

Global investments have a currency risk that is not present in your "At Home" investments.
Also there can be political risk, and regulatory risk (lack of transparent rules on reporting business)

I am an investment consultant based in Pakistan. Our stock market has given an average return of 20%+ in past 31 years. You can invest in some balanced mutual fund in Pakistan. Balanced mean which has some portion in secure-low return (Debt instruments) and remaining in volatile-but high return instrument (Stocks). There are many mutual funds available in Pakistan (but please make sure that it is authentic and you have a medium to long-term horizon i.e 3+ Years)

Yes.

Im Indonesian and i had lived in Melbourne couple years ago. To answer your question i would say you must be very careful because if your talking of money,its very bad if you lose it.

I got home from melbourne and i found that in Indonesia,are growing franchise businesses and not all of them profitable.

I found that one company is doing retail business and bacause of its system and experienced in this business for almost 20 years.

I already help my indonesian friend to take this opportunity,and two of them already planning in investing this franchise retail business at the beginning of next year. They are taking over a business that owned by the franchisor. the total capital is huge and its around AU$90,000. But the business already generate profit AU$20,000-25,000 every year (NET PROFIT,WITH NO ADDITIONAL TAX OR ANYTHING)

If you interesting to know more about this business,you can send me an email or message me.
