Investing - Theory, News & General • [Which Fidelity International equity index funds to hold?]

Would appreciate input and opinions on *which* international index fund to hold.

Fidelity has five international index funds:

1. (FTIHX) Fidelity Total International Index Fund (0.06%) -- Complete international stocks
   ____
2. (FSGGX) Fidelity Global ex U.S. Index Fund (0.055%) -- Almost complete international stocks
   ____
3. (FSPSX) Fidelity International Index Fund (0.035%) -- Developed Markets only, ~75% of international stocks, missing 5% Canada
   ____
4. (FPADX) Fidelity Emerging Markets Index Fund (0.075%) -- Emerging markets only, ~20% of international stocks
   ____
5. (FZILX) Fidelity Zero International Index Fund (0.00%) -- Not suitable for taxable accounts

I favor "total market" funds so I would prefer FTIHX. Some people like to choose their developed to emerging ratio so prefer a combination of FSPSX and FPADX. Some don't want emerging so go with just FSPSX.

Thank you Duckie for posting this. I was unaware that Fidelity had a Total International Index fund (FTIHX), I have used their Fidelity Global ex U.S. Index Fund instead for one of my accounts. I know about the others you have listed.
