  • To mark the occasion, MarketWatch will publish a series of "Financial Fitness" articles to help readers improve their fiscal health, and offer advice on how to save, invest and spend their money wisely.

In an article on MSN Money, a reader nearing retirement expresses concern over their decision to move their investments into non-U.S. stocks, seeking advice on whether this was a mistake.

Burrows notes that non-U.S. stocks can offer growth potential and reduce risk through diversification, but they also come with their own set of risks, such as currency fluctuations and geopolitical issues. He advises the reader to assess their overall financial situation, risk tolerance, and retirement goals before deciding if adjustments are necessary, suggesting a consultation with a financial advisor to tailor the investment strategy appropriately.
