Best International Stock Funds to Buy in 2020

Look overseas for opportunities in stocks.

You might be tempted to skip investing in international stocks with the sector's weak recent performance in contrast with U.S. markets. But the international markets are more reasonably valued than those of the U.S. Currently, Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund ETF (ticker: VEU) has a price-earnings ratio of 15.6 in contrast with the S&P 500's P/E ratio of 24. Long story short, the higher P/E ratio of the S&P 500 represents more overvalued assets while a lower P/E ratio such as VEU suggests under or fairly valued assets. Unless you own a fail-proof crystal ball, it's smart to diversify your investments internationally. Here are seven of the best international stock funds to buy in 2020.


The best international stock funds to buy:

-- Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund ETF Shares (VEU)

-- Fidelity China Region Fund (FHKCX)

-- Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO)

-- T. Rowe Price Global Stock (PRGSX)

-- iShares MSCI Chile Capped ETF (ECH)

-- Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK)

-- Schwab Global Real Estate Fund (SWASX
