International
At American Independence, our dedication to performance, and our entrepreneurial approach to opportunity, makes international investing a natural fit. In our singleminded pursuit of your success, our managers span the globe for investment opportunities that offer solid potential for growth and diversification. American Independence offers broadly diversified international funds designed to serve as core holdings in a portfolio, as well as a fund designed to manage against the risks of global inflation.
International markets provide an opportunity to invest in foreign companies that have the potential to grow faster than their U.S. counterparts. Foreign investments can also add greater diversification to a portfolio because overseas markets do not typically move in lock-step with domestic markets over the long term.
While international diversification may help to reduce overall portfolio risk over time, it also has unique risks that need to be taken into consideration. Political or economic instability in foreign countries could negatively affect foreign investments, especially in emerging markets. Fluctuating foreign exchange rates can increase or decrease the dollar value of an investment even if the security's price remains unchanged. Through professional management and broad diversification, the inherent risks of international investing can be reduced but not eliminated.

American Independence International Bond Fund
The Fund's goal is to attain a high level of total return as may be consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund principally invests directly or indirectly in fixed income securities and other financial instruments to gain exposure to issuers located outside the United States.
