Janus Overseas has been a mainstay for me for years (JAOSX)

At one time, it was rated the #3 international mutual fund by Kiplinger (out of like 1500) and consistently has had 5 star morningstar rating. But, also at one time, when there was a scandal at Janus, it did drop to 3 stars.

It has outcompeted the index over the long term.

It's very volatile though. If you don't like rollercoaster rides, I would stay away from it. For a 10 year horizon, it's okay. For a 3 year horizon, no. That's actually a huge swing in your time goals and you need to decide between the two.

The expense ratio is reasonable -usually hovering near 1% for an actively managed fund.

At one time this year, the NAV was at $21.00, I think, off of a high of around $60.00 It's now at $35.00. Between that and my silver appreciation, this has been a good year for me so far.

But man, when it falls, boy does it fall. . .
