Investors can be afraid of international stocks, as if they aren’t as safe from a political, reporting or regulatory perspective as they are here in the United States. Political risk can be very real with international stocks, and significant cultural differences can present an additional risk when trying to evaluate securities. Still, international exposure is necessary. But there are many international companies that you will find palatable because you know their products, and you know their name. Plus, they pay pretty good dividends to boot...
You certainly know the name GlaxoSmithKline plc (NYSE:GSK). As investors, we aren’t going to freak out about a U.K.-based company, right? We also know it is an $88 billion pharmaceutical company. Diageo PLC (NYSE:DEO). We know for a fact there will always be some baseline demand for alcohol. Unilever plc (NYSE:UL) is a familiar, international presence with consumer products across the spectrum.
