Global Picks: AI International Stock Picks Beyond the US
Great companies are not only American. Global Picks uses AI to scan markets around the world and find the strongest businesses outside the US, spread across many countries and sectors.
What Global Picks Looks For
Our AI international stock picks go through the same scoring as every other strategy, plus a few extra checks. Read how every pick is scored.
Strong all-round scores. Profitability, growth, financial health, value and momentum all count.
Easy to trade. Each stock must be listed on a major exchange with enough daily trading.
Reliable reporting. The AI favours markets with clear, regular financial reporting.
Spread across countries. No single country can take up more than 20% of the strategy.
The strategy mainly covers developed markets such as Europe, the UK, Japan, Canada and Australia, with selected larger emerging markets when they pass every check.

Who Global Picks Suits
A good fit if you:
- Hold mostly US stocks and want to spread your risk
- Are curious about strong companies you may not have heard of
- Plan to invest for 5 years or more
Maybe not the best fit if you:
- Find it hard to buy shares listed outside the US through your broker
- Want to keep things simple with familiar names (see Tech Leaders)
- Mainly want steady income (see Dividend Builders)
The Risks of International Stocks
- Currency risk. Exchange rates move. A stock can rise in its home currency but lose value once converted to dollars, and the reverse.
- Country risk. Politics, new rules or economic trouble in one country can hit its shares hard.
- Access and costs. Some brokers charge more to trade foreign shares, or do not offer every market.
- Different rules. Reporting and investor protections vary from country to country.
We rate Global Picks 3 out of 5 for risk. Please read our Risk Disclosure before acting on any pick.
How It Fits With Other Strategies
Global Picks is a natural partner for any US-focused strategy. Pair it with Tech Leaders for growth from both sides of the world, or with Dividend Builders for a mix of income and international reach. Compare them all on the all strategies page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the AI international stock picks chosen?
The AI scores companies outside the US on profitability, growth, financial health, valuation and momentum, then applies country limits and trading checks. The top scorers make the list.
Are these the best international stocks to buy now?
They are the non-US stocks our AI scores highest right now based on its data and rules. No list can promise future returns, and foreign shares carry extra risks.
Can I buy these stocks with my broker?
Many brokers offer foreign shares directly or through US-listed versions called ADRs. Check what your broker offers and what it charges.
Does currency affect my returns?
Yes. Our results are shown in US dollars, so they include currency moves. Your results will depend on your own currency.
How often does the list change?
Once a month. Every change is listed in Recent Changes and in the [[full track record->/track-record]].
