Global/EU/UK vs US only ETFs selection
I have a question regarding choice of ETFs. From the past 5 year data on yahoo finance SPY/VUSA returns seem to out perform any UK, EU, or global ETF I can find. I get the increased risk with volitlity of a strong dollar to £ exchange rate, and that there is increased risk with simply backing a one country market, but do the increased returns (albiet from a limited historial dataset) not outway these risks?
Maybe I am looking at the wrong ETFs? Or leaning too much on short term historical data for evidence? I would love your input on this, or suggestions to any non-US ETFs that have good potential for a similar return to that of the SPY.
Thank you!
