A: Thanks for the question.

There are a number of LICs (listed invested companies) specialising in international shares, as per the list from the ASX below.

The obvious question is whether you are more interested in developed markets, or emerging markets. With the former, it is really a question of the USA vs Europe vs the rest.

If you are just after a LIC, probably stay with the tested names:

Hunter Hall Global Value Limited (HHV)

Magellan flagship Fund (MFF)

Platinum Capital Limited (PMC)

Templeton Global Growth (TGG)

If pressed to choose, I would look at PMC or TGG (probably split across both).

If just after a US fund only, you might want to consider an ETF like inheres IVV which tracks the US S&P 500
