Many investors will choose an ASX ETF that tracks the US stock market as part of their portfolio.
The S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) often acts as a global benchmark because it represents the performance of the largest and most influential U.S. companies, which drive trends in the world economy and financial markets.
This year, this index has risen roughly 9.25%. Nothing to complain about!
It's slightly ahead of the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which is the largest 200 companies here in Australia.
However, there are three internationally focussed ASX ETFs that have blown both of these markets away, that track indexes not in Australia or the US.

Additionally, its third largest holding by weight, Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA), is up 56% for the year to date.
This fund tracks the 50 largest technology and online retail stocks in Asia (ex-Japan).
