Many people are torn because based on recent history, U.S. index funds and ETFs have outperformed international by a large margin. If you invested $10,000 into a U.S. stock index fund/ETF and the same amount into an international index fund / ETF then after 30 years your U.S. portfolio would be worth $175,000 and your international portfolio would only be worth $41,000. That's too big of a difference not to question if it still makes sense to even bother investing some money into international funds. Affiliate Disclaimer: Some of the above may be affiliate links.

If you need help then contact a Certified Financial Fiduciary before trying anything that is mentioned in this video. I prefer a Fiduciary financial advisor that charges an hourly fee as opposed to an ongoing fee based on a % of your portfolio. Always remember that incentives determine the type of advice they give you so one that charges an hourly fee is less likely to be problematic. 187 #indexfunds #etf
