International investments are subject to additional risks such as currency fluctuation, political instability, economic risk and the potential for illiquid markets. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
Generally, securities on foreign markets are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not subject to the same disclosure and financial accounting standards as U.S.-registered securities. In addition, shareholders of foreign securities may not have rights similar to those of shareholders of U.S.-registered securities.
Every market has its own set of additional fees and/or taxes assessed by local governments and exchanges. These fees are usually automatically included in a trade. Not all markets operate in the same manner as U.S. markets, and investors may experience certain operational restrictions; for example, stop orders are often not available.
Not all securities or services are available in all countries. The issuer of a security may place restrictions on U.S. or other investors with regard to eligibility for certain future rights or other offerings
