I want to expose myself to international funds for long term investing. Specifically, I want to put about 20% of my retirement into VTIAX. I’m nervous because I’ve been told that international brings on massive tax concerns (USA-based investor) Is there anything I should be considering before going into international index funds like this?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/wilso4jm"> /u/wilso4jm </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/11o9xht/international_investing_vtiax/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/11o9xht/international_investing_vtiax/">[comments]</a></span>
