Generally, do the general-purpose mutual funds from the big brokers like Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab include international companies, or is it mostly US companies?

I'm interested in investing in other countries, but I don't know if it's strictly necessary to choose a fund that says "European" or "International" on the tin as I'd like a mix. Is there an advantage or tax issue with investing in a European broker? Any recommendations there?

Thanks, folks.

There are funds like VEU or VGK that have no US companies but are listed on US markets and can be purchased for Dollars. It saves having to mess with forex.
