Investors are considering reducing exposure to U.S. stocks due to record highs, expensive valuations, and reliance on tech giants like Nvidia and Microsoft.

The Schwab International Equity ETF offers diversification and strong performance outside the U.S. market.

The ETF tracks the FTSE Developed ex-U.S. Index, holding stocks from Japan, the U.K., Canada, France, and Switzerland. It includes sectors like financials, industrials, and tech, with top holdings like ASML and Samsung. The passively managed fund has a low expense ratio, rising more than 40% over the past five years.
