re: mutual funds that invest in mutual 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.

I'm only 31 and can tolerate risk relatively well. I just know that I don't have the time needed to really research specific sectors/holdings needed to properly invest in specific mutual funds or stocks, so the one-stop-shop of allocation funds fit what I'm looking for.

Why not an ETF for international/Global? Check out HTY or ETO. Both pay really good dividends.
