We've been accumulating some cash at Vanguard, and beginning to DCA into some international / global index funds ... historically, we've had too little international in our mix. Three base funds seem to make up their offerings, with those wrapped by a couple other funds ... Emerging Markets Stock Index (VEIEX), European Stock Index Fund(VEURX), and the Pacific Stock Index Fund (VPACX). While I have concerns we're a little late to the party, I also tend to think foreign investments will continue to be attractive for the future.
The first two funds have decent track records, but the Pacific fund is anemic ... not surprising considering the tough sledding the Japanese have had for some time.
I'm tempted to simply put 33% into each fund, and rebalance at the end of each year. Would be interested in your POV on these funds, your own international perspective, the Pacific fund, etc. Thanks.
