International ETF Outpacing the S&P 500 This Year Is Worth a Closer Look
It's a good idea for investors to look outside the U.S. for investment opportunities.
Overview
Had you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 index 10 years ago, your investment would have grown to roughly $41,420 today. On an annualized basis, this translates to an excellent 15.3% total return (as of July 16). This more recent return is significantly better than the benchmark's long-term 10% average.
While the S&P 500 index is doing well in 2026 (up 11.3%), there's an international exchange-traded fund (ETF) that's outperforming it by about two percentage points. This is a shorter time frame for comparison, so investors shouldn't use it to jump to any conclusions. But it might be worth it to take a closer look.
