This section provides a listing of the lowest cost international small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging markets stock mutual funds. See the chart in this article for the least expensive index mutual funds investments. This list of the lowest fee index investment company funds in the international equity asset class is more liable to be relatively stable over the years. Shareholders in very economical index mutual funds tend to be loyal to the relatively short list of index mutual fund companies which offer the lowest cost index investment funds.

Owners in the most economical index funds figure out that least expensive tends to lead to enhanced net returns over the years. International stock index investment funds probably will not have better gross investment performance prior to investment taxes and costs. Alternatively, index funds aim for the average international stock market investment performance, and they are not intended to exceed the market.

Even so, the low charges of international equity index mutual funds investments help share owners to keep significantly more of the market investment return instead of having to share the market’ return with the financial services industry by having to pay unproductive investing fees. Over time, individual index funds investors tend to do better than individual investors paying avoidable costs to the financial securities industry.
