I created this list a few yrs ago,  to compare foreign funds based on performance to their peers in the same category. I've copied it here for those who may be interested.  If you do a reply via 'quote' button, the scroll bars will show up.  If I used a picture then the links to the funds would not come thru...  (you don't need to send any replies... but the scroll bars allow better navigation) The other method would be to copy it out and make your own version.  I have it as one of my shared portfolios.
