Europe is in trouble. Everybody fears a break down of the euro within the upcoming years. Debt burdens are too high and investors’ confidence is far away. This fact also impacts your asset allocation. You have to invest in stocks with only little engagements within Europe. I screened stocks from the Dow Jones with only a little exposure in Europe (less than 25 percent of sales). In addition, the dividend yield should be above 2.5 percent and the payout ratio under 80 percent. These are the results:
