International ETFs are investment funds that are traded on stock exchanges and invest in assets outside the U.S. These assets can include stocks, bonds, and other securities from companies or governments in emerging and developed markets worldwide. International ETFs can provide investors with an opportunity to diversify their portfolios and gain exposure to global markets all through a single ETF.

Investing in international ETFs can be a convenient way to diversify your investment portfolio and gain access to markets around the world. This allows you to spread your investment opportunities and risk across different countries and regions, potentially reducing the impact of market volatility in any single location.

International ETFs seek investments outside of the U.S., providing exposure to specific regions or countries around the world. On the other hand, global ETFs encompass a broader range of investments, including both U.S and international companies, offering exposure to the entire global market.

There are many ETF types that seek to track international markets, offering investors access to a diverse range of opportunities beyond the U.S.:

  • Broad International ETFs seek to invest only across international markets, excluding the United States.
  • Broad Developed Markets ETFs seek to invest in international companies across established economies, like Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.
  • Broad Emerging Markets ETFs seek to invest in international companies across markets that are considered to have "emerging" economies, like India, Brazil, and China.
  • Regional ETFs seek to invest across countries in a specific part of the world, like Europe or the Asia-Pacific region.
  • Country ETFs seek to invest in individual countries, whether developed or emerging.

There are a variety of ways to invest in international ETFs, and how you do so largely comes down to preference. For hands-on investors, investing in ETFs is but a few clicks away. These assets are a standard offering among the online brokers. For investors working with a financial advisor, talk with your advisor about how international ETFs may add diversification benefits to your portfolio and help you seek to achieve your financial goals.
