Abstract
Abstract The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between mutual fund international diversification strategy in assets from emerging and developed markets, and fund performance and risk. From our data analysis we are able to sketch a panorama of the international diversification of mutual funds. Currently, diversification is low and concentrated in US stocks. The empirical finding suggests there are certain benefits to international diversification in terms of increased returns and reduced risk, especially for Brazilian mutual funds holding developed market stocks.
