Do you have any suggestions for foreign stock ETFs traded in US?
Nope, sorry. In general I am not a fan of funds. Almost all of them are cap weighted, and I'm not a fan of that.
The MSCI global ex-US equal weight index looks not too bad, but it seems to be UCITS only, no US ETFs.
It can be worth looking for individual companies. Skip a few industries that have notoriously poor economics (no control of pricing like commodities, or always risky like financials), and look for things with a high 5-year average ROE and no excessive debt. The free FT.com global equity screener is great. A couple of weekends is enough to build a portfolio that's way better than any cap weight fund.
