I live in Brazil, did not start messing with stocks or funds and my money is only on bonds which have better return than first-world ones because of brazil's high interest rates.Usually when living in the US, picking a low-cost S&P 500 index fund is a really safe strategy but when investing in it from somewhere else you have to deal with dolar exchange rates. Even more challenging is that almost every fund is less than 10 years old except for the big banks ones. Almost every index fund is also based on 30-50 companies instead of 500 like the s&p. Since there is less local companies to invest it's probably easier to differ the good ones from the bad ones which gives mutual funds an advantage over index ones. So how to best pick a portfolio of funds in this scenario?
