An international equities are investments in international or foreign companies. Just as equities normally refers to investments in companies in the US, international equities expands that definition abroad. International equities are attractive to some investors because the difference in international markets can play a valuable role diversifying a portfolio, and because of the "boom" found in some emerging and international markets. Investing internationally while located in a different company can be risky because investors have less or no "on the ground" experience in that country. Also, not all countries offer strong or safe markets to trade in. Solutions to this problem can be found in buying currencies, shares of mutual funds that invest abroad, or domestic indexes of foreign markets.
