I have 2 Foreign Funds

JAOSX – Janus Overseas Fund
and
HLEMX – HARDING LOEVNER EMERGING MARKETS

Both are strong foriegn market investments.

Janus has netted me 25% since Sept 06 and Harding has done about 22%.

If you have a Schwab account, they are considered No-Load Funds which means there is no Broker fees as long as you don’t sell in 90 days.

They both invest worldwide.

If you don’t have an IRA, I strongly suggest Schwab. They are easy to use, provide consulting and have loads of helpful info.

Good luck

The index funds that most closely matches your criteria are ADRE and VWO

Here are links to both.

A newer index fund without a track record is GMM. Been available only since March.

There are also many mutual funds that also invest in emerging economies.
