What indexes are you relying on these days? Any specific sectors in general ?
Tech and renewable energy if any, but my focus is on individual stocks. Rather than get a SPY index I'd get Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple personally. Of course there are loads of 'smaller' tech companies in the index like Adobe and AMD but the only one I really like is Intuit and if you've got a tech index fund then you've already got some exposure to them most likely.
US markets have delivered a higher return than other countries over the long term, whether that will continue is anybody's guess but the resilience of the labour market and economic growth is better than the rest of the developed world.
I've been attempting to remove my home bias and invest in more US, EU and Asian companies recently, as the UK is essentially finished. Investing in individual Asian companies outside of a few select countries like Taiwan is risky though as GAAP is more of a dark art over there.
