John Waggoner: Downtrodden International Funds Looking For A Break

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: For international funds to race ahead of domestic funds, you typically need a falling dollar and rising foreign markets.
This year, most international funds are misfiring on at least one cylinder. The average large-company foreign blend fund has gained just 2.38% this year, versus 5.87% for its domestic counterpart. You can blame either a strong dollar or weak foreign markets for the poor performance.
Regards,
Ted
