What Are Global Market Funds?
Global market funds are investment vehicles that track international stock market indices. They provide instant diversification across thousands of companies worldwide, making them ideal for long-term investors seeking broad market exposure.
Over the last 47 years, global markets have delivered a nominal compound annual growth rate of 10.44%. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. [citation]
