41. Vanguard Investments international Equity investing from the European Perspective from internationalinvestments is the sum of local returns and changes in exchange rates, http://global.vanguard.com/international/hEurEN/research/PerspEN.htm

International Equity Investing from the European Perspective There seems to be a pronounced instability in investors' attitudes about the value of international investing – in vogue during certain periods, out of favor in the next. While allocating a portion of a portfolio's overall exposure to non-European stocks can enhance long-term returns, the benefits aren't always clear to investors in the short-term. Short-term concerns, such as the relative performance of international equities against home markets or the strength of the Euro against other currencies, may override the desire for long-term benefits. Yesim Tokat, Ph.D., an analyst with Vanguard's Investment Counseling & Research group, is the author of a recently published paper, "International Equity Investing from the European Perspective: Long-Term Expectations and Short-Term Departures." Dr. Tokat's paper analyzes the benefits and risks of investing in international stock markets, benefits and risks of investing in international stock markets, and evaluates what roles these investments should play in investors' portfolios. Long-Term and Short-Term Perspectives Over the long term, historical data demonstrate that the average returns and volatility of the international developed markets and European equities have been very similar. While business and stock market cycles may provide a return advantage to a region or country over certain time horizons, these differences tend to even out because developed economies grow at similar rates.

A Five Year Snapshot A Multiple Choice Question: Between 1970 and 2000, how many times has the U.S. equity market been the world's top performer? (a) Never (b) Once (c) Several times (d) Every time Answer: (a) NEVER. Not only that, the US equity markets have ranked among the top 3 only twice in the last 10 years. Surprised? International Investing is not just for high-flying risk takers. It can form part of the asset allocation of a well rounded portfolio. It can improve portfolio gain due to participation in well performing markets. It can reduce portfolio risk by improved diversification since international markets often behave differently than the U.S. markets. A five year snapshot below shows the two times in the last 10 years that the U.S. markets have at least made it into the top three.

What are Stocks? Stock is ownership, or equity, in a company. Investors buy stock in the form of shares , which represent a portion of a company's assets and earnings (capital). As a stockholder, the extent of your ownership (your stake) in a company depends on the number of shares you own in relation to the total number of shares available. How do they work? Stocks in publicly traded companies are bought and sold at a stock market (also known as a stock exchange) for example, The London Stock Exchange. You can buy a share in a stock when a company first decides to trade itself on the stock market - that is, at flotation or privatisation; or you can buy through the stock market once the shares are in circulation and being traded. To buy or sell a stock you go to a stockbroker who does business with the stock exchange on your behalf. Once you have bought your shares you can hold them as a paper certificate or your broker can hold them electronically (in a nominee account) on your behalf.

But in the past year, the American stock market has been the star, while Canadian and most foreign share prices have appreciated more moderately. However, because these non-U.S. markets have recently been out of favour, they may offer bargains now.

Idea Exchange on the World Dollar Standard: Richard Clarida What Does the Dollar Mean for International Investing? By Richard H. Clarida C. Lowell Harriss Professor of Economics, Columbia University, and Chief Economic Strategist for the Clinton Group When the dollar weakens, the dollar return on holding a foreign security rises in tandem with the rate of depreciation. As a result, investors who have allocated some of their portfolios to investments in European bonds and stocks have been amply rewarded by the depreciation of the dollar against the euro, which has lost more than 30 percent of its value since the winter of 2002. U.S. investments in other countries have also benefited from the dollar's roughly 10 percent depreciation against a broad basket of currencies. One motive to invest abroad is diversification. But since the mid 1990s, local currency returns in foreign stock and bond markets have been, by historical standards, rather highly positively correlated with returns in U.S. stock and bond markets, thus limiting the realized benefit from international diversification.* Moreover, during much of this period, the foreign exchange value of the dollar was strong and, on average, getting stronger against most currencies. The strong dollar tended to lower realized dollar returns to U.S. citizens investing abroad. Looking ahead, the dollar returns earned by U.S. citizens who invest abroad compared to what they could earn by keeping their money at home will depend, in large part, on the correlation in local currency returns across national markets and the trend in the foreign exchange value of the dollar.
