Over There: Looking Overseas for Investment Opportunities
Article Abstract:
Many American investors are turning to foreign investments as the stock market slows down in its bullish climb. The strength of the United States dollar has also led to increased purchasing of foreign stocks. The simplest and safest method of investing internationally is through mutual funds. International investments do have some risks. It is harder to monitor the performance of foreign investments. Inflation, political unrest and currency devaluations all can negatively influence foreign investments. Investment advisors suggest that foreign investments should only represent a portion of an investor's total portfolio.
