International mutual funds crash amid Trump tariff woes — Should you exit now?

In the last one week, there has been a sharp decline in the international mutual funds triggered by sharp sell-offs in equities globally after US President Donald Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on some major economies, including China, the EU and India. In response, Europe and China also announced higher tariffs on the US, further escalating global trade war and adding to recession fears. Amidst all this trade tussle, global equity markets have seen trillions of dollars in investor money wiped out.

This has directly affected those investors who have invested in international mutual funds. In the last few days, the value of such funds has fallen by more than 13%. Of the 67 international mutual fund reviewed, none of the schemes gave positive returns in the last one week. The category average return for the international mutual funds stood at (-)7.92% in the last one week.
