FYI: This article may not appeal to all readers, especially those who do not choose to invest in international stock and/or bond funds/ETFs. However, the data presented below is hard to dismiss. And, if you only hold domestic bond funds, you should also consider what the data shows. If you find reading the discussion a little beyond your level of interest, you may want to consider just this one suggestion from it: "Ordinary" international stock and bond, as well as domestic bond funds/ETFs may show weaker returns as compared to a few "specialized" international stock and bond funds. The performance differences between these types of funds may be stark, as I show have occurred over the last 10 years. Therefore, you should consider owning one or more of the funds shown in dark, bold type below.
