International ETFs

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are investment holding companies, whose shares can be bought like any stock. However, unlike U.S. stocks that get only part of their earnings overseas, international ETFs buy only foreign stocks. They are traded like stocks on U.S. exchanges, which bypasses any and all the hassles of dealing with foreign exchanges.

Also, unlike international mutual funds, you can check the value of every ETF you own in real time at any moment of the trading day, and you can get in or out almost instantly. International ETFs are also inexpensive to buy, own and sell. They require a small brokerage commission, but never an entry or exit penalty. You never pay marketing fees, there are no minimums, and you never pay taxes on your paper profits.

With more than 100 international ETFs to choose from, investors can benefit from their diversity. There are a wide range of global ETFs from several firms that fall into a handful of major categories, including country-specific, regional, international sector, and foreign currency ETFs.
