The EuroPacific Growth Fund, in the American Funds group

year).

TRPrice is $2.5K. Don't know what the min for Warburg is, although I
have heard good things about it (in Morningstar). hth

If you are looking for moderate risk you may want to look at the
International Index Funds offered by Vanguard

| 734.8 | High minimums with Warburg-Pincus | ALLVAX::DECESARE | Glenn, TAY1-2/H5 | Fri Jul 29 1994 11:05 | 9 |
| One possible negative about the Warburg-Pincus fund mentioned in .0 is
their relatively high min's for investment: $2,500 to start, then $500
minimum for each subsequent investment. For me it wasn't an issue,
since I was only planning to make a few investments and then let it sit
for a while, but if I were DCA'ing into an international fund, I might
have looked elsewhere.
FWIW,

Seeing that's the min. initial investment on most of my Fidelity
Funds (including a couple of International funds), I wouldn't call
that high ....

some companies will waive the min. investment if you're going to start with
automatic monthly withdrawals. i think t. rowe price will waive.
worth asking anyways.

| 734.11 | Foreign Investing-Why & When? | MPGS::WENTWORTH | | Tue Dec 19 1995 06:42 | 14 |
| There is a rule of thumb that most people play by that says
something like 10-15% of your investments should be in foreign
markets. Why is that?
-Is it simply because when the U.S. does bad other countries do better?
If that's the logic why would one have that small a percentage.
-Is it because these are much risky and there is a potential for
big gains on the investment, so do it in moderation?
Over the past couple years a tremendous amount of capital has been
pulled back to the US. I'm wondering if the next couple years will
see cash flow back to the foreign markets? A good time to get in?
Any Thoughts?

| 734.12 | currency risk | NPSS::RAUHALA | | Tue Dec 19 1995 19:27 | 15 |
| The idea is just to diversify. You could put all your money in the
S&P 500 index fund, wait 30 years, and do just fine.
Or you could diversify somewhat and put 15% into a foreign fund and
20% into a small company stock fund and 30% into a large company fund
and the rest into a bond fund.
The main risk in these funds is currency fluxuation, along with the
rising/falling stock markets you can make/lose money depending on what
happens with the dollar.
These funds vary quite a bit, there are small high risk fund and other
more conservative funds that deal with Germany, Canada,etc... I have
money in the 401k plan Templeton fund which is fairly conservative
but I like it myself.

I'm not sure if you will see cash flow out of US into foreign markets.
However... what IS happening is that cash that is now in foreign
markets is not coming into the US market because of the 5000+ level
of the DJIA. I read this as a signal to stay in the foreign fund
I am in.
