Cross-border stock market investing is accelerating as favorable currency trends support multinational revenue forecasts, particularly for export-heavy Japanese equities. There are some major tailwinds that should keep demand for logistics real estate strong for years to come. For example, the e-commerce market has roughly quadrupled in size since 2012 and is forecast to more than double from its current size by 2030, creating a need for even more distribution and warehousing space. In fact, e-commerce retail needs roughly three times the logistics space as a brick-and-mortar retailer to handle the same sales volume. There's also a trend toward developing properties further from city centers and closer to where the customers are. Buffett's investable universe is only the biggest stocks in the market. And since he's heavily focused on U.S. stocks, that means mostly S&P 500 companies. Global stock market investing flows show steady fund inflows into emerging markets ETFs, particularly India and Brazil, supported by GDP growth projections above 6%.
