Is this US real estate, US stocks, US bonds, and US social security? :-)

I've tried to diversify to more international mutual funds, but they also tend to have higher fees.

My 401k does have some international funds. While it is good to have a bit, they are as you say higher fees and so not always a good investment.

I'm not sure they are really diversification though. The major US companies have a lot of international exposure already so you don't gain much diversification. And of course they don't really protect you from a collapse of the US government (odds are either they are hit as well, or you can't prove you own them anymore)
