Investors Stick With Actively Managed Foreign Stock Funds (AP)

Despite the rise of ETFs and index funds, the AP recently reported that investors are still putting money into actively managed foreign stock funds which have attracted $68 billion over the last year.

One possible explanation for the difference is that many investors believe they have more opportunities to capitalize on mispriced stocks in foreign markets than in domestic ones and are willing to pay the higher fund manager fees that actively managed funds come with in order to profit from those markets.
