International Stocks

Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine, August, 2000

FOR A COMPLETE explanation of how to use these rankings, including a description of each column heading. Some additional information about the international stock listings:

Category. International stock funds are divided into three categories. Diversified international funds invest primarily in stocks of companies based outside the U.S.; this category includes broad-based funds and funds without a specific geographical base. Specialized international funds invest in a single country or region of the world. Global funds can invest in the U.S. as well as overseas. To be included in the rankings, a fund must have at least a one-year track record and usually at least $700 million in assets. Some funds aren't available in all states.

Down market. Use the return shown for the most recent down market for U.S. stocks, March 10 to May 23, 2000, to see how an international fund fared when the Nasdaq Composite index dropped 37.3%.

Benchmarks. At the bottom of each page of international stock rankings are two benchmarks that will help you assess a fund's performance against its peers: average diversified international fund and average global fund returns to June 12.
