Right now I have money in TRSGX and PRWCX. The past few months I've really started getting my feet wet with watching these funds and what exactly they invest in. Interesting stuff, indeed! Soon, I want to start putting some $$$ in an international fund to get some exposure outside of the US. Any suggestions for a fund that may be good for this? I like TRowe so I may just stick with a fund in their family.

ETA - PSILX looks interesting...

An additional question - does anyone see a problem with investing solely in asset allocation funds?

T.Rowe has a subpar track record internationally, I'd look elsewhere. I currently have ANWPX, and AEPGX for my international funds. Heavy front end load, but that doesn't bother me as a long term investor.

PIMCO also has great international funds, although I don't invest with PIMCO.


As far as the second question goes, it really depends on your investment goals, age, income.

I'm younger, so I can tolerate more risk, so I only have a small percentage of mutual funds investing in bonds or cash/equivalents in my portfolio. I don't think it's wrong to invest solely in allocation funds, I just like a little more flavor in my investing.
