International Index Funds

Index funds generally don’t try to beat the market by opportunistically buying or selling securities. Rather, they simply invest the assets of a fund or ETF to mirror the construction of an index (such as the S&P 500), giving investors a way to gain exposure to a specific part of the markets. Index funds generally have lover relative costs compared with actively managed offerings. Here we highlight those equity funds and ETFs that invest primarily in non-US stocks or across the globe. Markets, regions, and company size can vary greatly among offerings.
