3. Foreign Direct Investing
There are two ways for investors to buy foreign stocks directly. You can open a global account with a broker in your home country, such as Fidelity, E*TRADE, Charles Schwab, and Interactive Brokers. The other option is to open an account with a local broker in the target country. For example, the MONEX BOOM trading platform based in Hong Kong gives investors access to Hong Kong stocks in addition to 11 other markets.

Going direct is not suitable for the casual investor. There are additional costs, tax implications, technical support needs, research needs, currency conversions, and other factors to consider. In short, only active and serious investors should participate in foreign direct investing.

Investors need also to be wary of fraudulent brokers not registered with regulators in their market, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S.

2. Global Depository Receipts (GDRs)
A global depository receipt (GDR) is another type of depository receipt. A depository bank issues shares of foreign companies in international markets, typically in Europe, and makes them available to investors within and outside the U.S. Many GDRs are denominated in U.S. dollars, though some are denominated in euros or the British pound. They are typically traded, cleared, and settled in the same way as domestic stocks.

GDRs can be found on the London Stock Exchange and Luxembourg Stock Exchange, as well as on exchanges in Singapore, Frankfurt, and Dubai. GDRs are typically placed with institutional investors in private offerings before public trading.

The Risks of Foreign Investing
International investing, however, has its flip side. In terms of volatility, emerging markets in general are considered riskier. They can experience dramatic changes in market value, and in some cases, political risk can suddenly upend a nation's economy. Furthermore, it should be noted that foreign markets can be less regulated than those in the U.S., increasing the risk of manipulation or fraud.

Today's investors have extraordinary access to 24-hour global news, yet there is also a risk of inadequate information from a market that is often thousands of miles away. This can limit the investor's ability to interpret or understand events.

Finally, there is currency risk stemming from changes in the exchange rate against the investor's home currency. Of course, currencies move both ways and can also be in the investor's favor.

If you're up for the opportunity and risk of international investing, there are six ways to gain exposure to growth outside the U.S.
