Diversify into strong-performing international ETFs

Despite concerns about tax treatment for foreign investments, several international ETFs are highlighted for their significant year-to-date (YTD) performance. These include EWP (Spain, +60% YTD), GREK (Greece, +62% YTD), EWY (Korea, +80% YTD), MCHI (China, +40% YTD), EWJ (Japan, +23% YTD), and EWQ (France, +27% YTD). The overall international market, represented by VXUS, is also noted to be up over 28% YTD, outperforming VTI. This suggests that incorporating well-performing international markets can be a valuable diversification strategy, potentially offsetting local market biases or tax disadvantages.
