### In plain words

A global stock ETF owns companies from around the world, including the US; an international fund leaves the US out. A global fund usually has a large US share, because the US is a large part of the world market.

ETFIQ places 132 funds in global segments, against 626 international and 1,044 US stock funds. They come in large-cap, small and mid-cap, growth, value and real estate forms. If you already own a US fund, a global fund overlaps with it, and the overlap tool shows by how much.

### Questions

Does global include the US? Yes. International does not.

How much of a global fund is US? The holdings page shows weights by country where the filing gives them.

Will a global fund overlap my US fund? Often by a large share. The overlap tool measures it.
