These China ETFs are beating the S&P 500 this year — as are these other international stock funds

Look at Canada too

By Jeff Reeves, MarketWatch

Everywhere you look these days, it seems to be bad news for folks who invest overseas.

From the fallout caused by a continuing trade war with China to the continued uncertainty posed by Brexit to ever-present geopolitical risks in the Middle East, the headlines don’t inspire confidence. And besides, with the S&P 500 index /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX +0.89% up 14% or so year-to-date, it seems like anyone buying stocks abroad is just looking for trouble.

As with so many things in investing, the truth is much more complicated.
