These funds pool money from investors to invest in companies and assets located in multiple countries, allowing exposure to global economic trends, emerging markets, and industries not available at home.
By spreading investments across different regions, investors can potentially reduce risk associated with a single country’s economic fluctuations while benefiting from growth opportunities in rapidly expanding economies.
