Choose one International Mutual Fund: HRINX, MDISX, ODVYX, FSIVX?
I have a new 401k provider and those are my international options. My research shows no stand-out. Can one of the experts here spot one better than the other? I am 43 and I can ride out the ups and downs. They all appear to be blends and about the same in performance withe the Oppenheimer a little out in front. Experts, do you see one rising above the other three?

Research on morning star. Of the 4 funds HRINX has the best performance.
It has a 5 star gold rating. it invests in large growth companies mostly in europe,
It has a high risk and high return and over 10 years it more than doubled your money.
Close behind is ODVYX with a 5 star silver rating, invests in large growth emerging
markets and turns $10,000 into $23,000 over 10 years.
The other 2 were not worth mentioning.

Looking at all four funds from Stock market top in 2007 to the bottom in 2009: MDISX was the best of the four funds, but from the bottom in 2009 to the current time, MDISX was the worst performer of the 4. Then ODVYX from top to bottom was the worst performer but from bottom to top it was the best performer. So basically MDISX outperformed the other funds in bear markets, and ODVYX outperformed in bull markets, so i would say instead of picking just one fund for your international exposure split it between the two, MDISX, and ODVYX.
Hope that helps.
