Funds focused on developing economies, offering higher growth potential alongside greater political, currency, and market risk.
Fund that invests across world markets, including the investor’s home country, rather than limiting itself to one domestic or foreign region.
Funds that invest outside the investor’s home country, often used to diversify geographic exposure without including domestic holdings.
Mutual funds and ETFs with foreign holdings provide pooled exposure to non-domestic securities, currencies, and markets.
