While the idea of investing outside of one's home country is not that new, most investors' portfolios still have a home bias. *Why is that?* Could it be that international stock selection is more difficult? There are solutions.

 Join ETF.com and Van Eck as we explore the Morningstar equity research process and methodology for selecting international stocks.
