Choosing International investments?
I would like to allocate part of my investments into international stocks.
I won't be familiar with most of the companies invested in. And I don't trust an index fund to accurately represent the entire world economy.
In the past I have tried a few mutual funds based on their past performance, but they mostly flopped. What else can I consider in order to choose a good fund?
Or has the world market just been stuck in a rut for years so that any fund would have performed poorly?
