Change Your Foreign Mix
Most of the foreign stocks that you’ll own, either directly or via mutual funds, will be from large companies domiciled in developed markets. To adjust your foreign position, consider these options.
Things To Know
- The world’s developing markets certainly hold promise.
Mid- and small-company stocks
As in the United States, foreign mid- and small-company stocks theoretically have a growth edge over their larger counterparts, too.
Emerging-markets stocks
The world’s developing markets certainly hold promise. As deregulation, increasing communications, and free-market thinking grip emerging countries, their stock markets seem poised to benefit.
The jury’s still out on whether emerging-markets stocks will deliver gains that live up to their promise. But they certainly qualify as aggressive investments.
