Further confirming that more investors are seeking opportunities outside of U.S. borders, Morningstar data showed that international equity ETFs saw $22 billion in net flows during the month of October. As of October 31, international equity ETFs now comprise 14% of the total ETF marketplace.
The U.S. Federal Reserve instituted a second rate cut of the year, which could only add more fuel to the international assets flame that's been burning bright for much of 2025. Further rate cuts will only apply additional downforce to the U.S. dollar, creating additional tailwinds for international equities.
Decades of global market dominance by U.S. equities have caused investors to wonder if today's market valuations may not support the underlying fundamentals. If that's the case, a more lucid picture of future returns could be found in international equities investing.
