Why invest in the InvestSMART International Equities Portfolio?
Australia represents less than 2% of the world’s share market value and 50% of our market is made up of 20 companies which are heavily concentrated in the financial and resources sectors. As a result, many Australian investors hold portfolios that are not well-diversified.
The International Portfolio is invested in a blend of our 5 – 15 preferred Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), where each ETF invests in a different market sector to the others, thereby lowering volatility, minimising overall risk, and increasing the potential for long-term growth.

# Performance figures are after management and admin fees excl. brokerage and assuming dividends re-invested and no withdrawals. Performance figures for periods greater than one year are annualised and presented as "per annum" values. The peer comparison figures have been sourced from Morningstar data and is therefore limited to the funds and investment products included in their database. This may not include all funds available for retail investment in Australia. The peer calculation is inclusive of admin and management fees; excludes brokerage and no withdrawals have been made. InvestSMART cannot determine whether or not franking has been included, nor if dividends have been reinvested. Historical performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
^ Only funds and investment products included in the Morningstar Australia database are available for fee and performance comparison. This may not include all funds available for retail investment in Australia. Only funds with > three year returns were included in any fee comparison, and were compared to Morningstar’s nominated benchmark. Fees are calculated by Morningstar as the average over 10 years. Whilst every care has been taken in producing these numbers, InvestSMART does not guarantee the accuracy of the figures produced in the table. Fee data may not include all costs being charged such as platform and adviser fees. For the effect of fees on your cumulative returns, please see our report How Fees Can Destroy Your Wealth.
