Avanza is one of the largest banks in Sweden, and in their monthly blogg, they're noticing a big movement where Swedes are selling their American funds and shares, to buy Swedish/European instead.

I found a global-except-US fund. They exist.

What is it and what type of returns are you seeing?

VXUS is a solid one. VT is 60/40 domestic/international and auto rebalances as it is mkt weighted.

Iโ€™m using XMXW (Xtrackers MSCI World ex USA UCITS ETF 1C) up 21% over a year, so better than the s and p. I ditched my US stocks before the US turned facist so got quite lucky

I don't have my notes but something like what @yuumei@feddit.uk said. You'll find a few ETFs tracking the same index, but they're all fairly new so don't have much history to look at.

We moved a bunch to there and another to an all-world small-cap index which avoids the magnificently overpriced seven so we're not fully divested of the US.

But anyway, "Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results" and "This Is Not Investment Advice"
