There are many ways to do this by owning global ETFs, buying ADRs/CDRs (for Canadians) or even by buying foreign stocks directly. Both BlackRock and Vanguard offer a variety of global ETFs and internationally diversified asset allocation portfolios. The Vanguard Total World Stock ETF is a great option for investors looking to hold a U.S. listed fund (ideal for an RRSP). For Canadian investors, asset allocation funds such as $ISHARES CORE EQUITY ETF PORTFOLIO UNITS CAD(XEQT.CA)$ or $VANGUARD INVESTMENTS CANADA INC VANGUARD ALL EQUITY ETF(VEQT.CA)$ are great options to ensure proper diversification across markets and company size. $VANGUARD INVESTMENTS CANADA INC S&P 500 INDEX ETF(VFV.CA)$ $ISHARES S&P/TSX 60 INDEX ETF UNIT(XIU.CA)$ $VANGUARD FTSE CDN HIGH DIVID YIELD TRUST UNIT(VDY.CA)$
