Markets are facing a lot right now, from geopolitical risks to inflationary and monetary pressures. A huge bet on AI, meanwhile, looms over the global economy, with countless portfolios massively exposed.

The potential of overstretched valuations in U.S. equities that could eventually mean-revert is just one reason more investors are gravitating towards international equities. There's no shortage of funds that can address investor needs to diversify from the U.S.

Headlines from recent weeks can sometimes induce investor whiplash. Yes, bond panic is the latest storm cloud to loom over markets, amid concentration risk and the ongoing Hormuz crisis.

In an ETF ecosystem that grows with each passing day, investors have plenty of viable options to meet specific goals and mitigate challenges. As concentration risk looms and the need for diversification grows, international equities ETFs like the American Century Quality Diversified International ETF (QINT) present a timely solution.

The ETF landscape is a very competitive one right now, with more and more funds launched each year. That is producing a lot of fee competition as firms look to earn investor assets and bring attention to their standout strategies.

It's hard to avoid the daily market headlines touting huge moves for AI firms, or the latest volatility from the Strait of Hormuz. However, events-based news often obfuscates the subtler stories that can really define a portfolio's performance.

Entering 2026, investors were clamoring for international equities exposure to diversify away from expensive U.S. stocks. Most investors have significant and potentially even risky amounts of exposure to just a handful of firms.

There have been some major headlines dominating the stock market so far this year. From geopolitical risks following conflicts in Venezuela and Iran to the continuous discourse surrounding an AI bubble, several macroeconomic factors loom over the markets.

The push for international equities diversification continues amid shifting global macroeconomic conditions. These days, investors have more options when it comes to international exposure.

American Century Investments has established itself as an innovative player in the ETF space, after launching its first products in January 2018. The index-based American Century US Quality Value ETF (VALQ) and the actively managed American Century Diversified Corporate Bond ETF (KORP) are still trading today.
