Why International Mutual Funds?

The best approach to invest in international markets is through mutual funds. This is because if you choose to invest directly in shares, you will need to use the services of a domestic or foreign broker, which will result in brokerage and currency conversion fees, as well as a lengthy and time-consuming documentation process due to the need to comply with offshore investment rules. When it comes to mutual funds, you can choose from an international fund that invests directly in foreign stocks or a fund of funds (feeder fund) that invests in funds that have direct exposure to foreign equities. Furthermore, because fund managers continuously monitor market dynamics and worldwide happenings, you won't have to.

In foreign mutual funds, a three-year or longer investment horizon is optimal since it flattens the risk of short-term geopolitical developments. It will also be advantageous from a tax standpoint, as these funds are treated similarly to debt funds, and you can take advantage of indexation through long-term capital gains tax.
