Exploring Investment Opportunities Beyond U.S. Borders


Summary

Experts highlight the potential of global and international mutual funds for investors.

Foreign companies now make up half of the world's equity market capitalization, a significant increase from just one-third in 1970. Key industries such as oil and gas, telecommunications, and construction are often led by foreign firms.

Despite these opportunities, international stocks are underrepresented in U.S. portfolios, with Americans typically holding only about 5% in foreign stocks and funds. However, global companies already influence daily American life through products like medications, cars, and beverages, which are often produced by international firms.

According to ING Funds, the U.S. retail mutual fund unit of ING Group, international equity markets offer access to industries dominated by non-U.S. countries. They've launched a "Going Global" campaign to promote international investing understanding. Bob Boulware, the president and CEO of ING Funds, believes those not considering global investments might be missing significant opportunities.

Diversifying Your Portfolio

Just as domestic portfolios are diversified, the same strategy should apply internationally. Investors can start with global and international mutual funds:
- Global Funds: Offer exposure to both international and domestic opportunities.
- International Mutual Funds: Focus on foreign holdings to complement a domestic portfolio.

When choosing between global and international funds, consider:

- Market Style: Decide if you're targeting value, growth, or a blend of stocks.
- Market Capitalization: Choose from small, mid, or large-sized companies.
- Specialty Funds: Target specific regions or markets, such as real estate. Fund-of-funds provide a diversified international portfolio in one investment.

ING’s Approach

For example, the ING Diversified International Fund includes a variety of segments like international growth, value, small-cap stocks, and emerging markets. Managed by top international portfolio managers, it simplifies building an international asset allocation.

ING Funds, a leader in global asset management, offers diverse global and international investing opportunities. Their expertise spans over 700 professionals across Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. Their white paper, "Seeing the Big Picture: A Global Approach to Investing," offers insights into international investing.

In conclusion, considering global and international mutual funds can open new horizons for investors seeking diversified and potentially lucrative investment opportunities beyond U.S. borders.
