I have received a lot of conflicting advice on foreign investments. On one hand, I know that most actively managed mutual funds fail to outperform their respective index. I received advice on mereing tracking an overseas index with an ETF, which seems like a good idea to me. I was thinking the ishares IEFA was the one for me with an expense ratio of .08%. However, there are matthew innovators funds that operate in each respective foreign market that seem to produce much better results then tracking the index. I think this justifies their expense rations of 1.05%ish. This begs the question, are active managers better at performing in foreign markets rather than tracking an index? Should I go ETF or fund? Im 50/50 please sway my opinion.
