Why U.S. Investors Are Buying Foreign Stock

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Many Americans are making smart moves with their investment portfolios. They just might not know it.

With U.S. stocks at records and many commentators saying they're overpriced, American investors are diversifying into cheaper international stocks. Investors have pulled a net $6.3 billion from U.S. stock funds this year, according to Investment Company Institute (ICI) data, while putting $60.5 billion in foreign stock funds

    "...The move into international stocks this year is part of a natural, gradual process of diversification in investor portfolios that’s been going on for a while, Hendrickson says..."

    OK. But then it's more of the same: following the herd. Was I foolish to maintain my stock portfolio heavily tilted overseas during the '08-'09 Crash? Not anymore, I guess. ;)
