International equities - exposure to global investment opportunities.
International equities funds invest in sharemarkets outside of Australia. These international markets can provide investors with exposure to global investment opportunities and trading strategies that are not usually accessible to individual investors.
Like Australian equities, international equities funds are largely defined by the capitalisation size of the companies they invest in, as well as geographic area of the markets they invest in.
International equities can provide investors with diversification benefits and the potential for solid returns, despite conditions that may occur in the Australian sharemarket.
