Unit trust in which country

For someone new to investing,  I would start with a global fund and avoid single countries to start with.

The S&P 500 seems like its on a great run, there is speculation about when it will end. So I would not choose that one.

All of them in different forms. Reasoning being diversity.  Every major market has it's laggards and dinosaurs that are best avoided. Micro and smaller caps are generally under researched globally , also too illiquid for mainstream passive tracking funds and ETF's. 

So you are looking at the individual stocks in a foreign country?

I look under the bonnet when choosing collective funds. Within countries there's different markets.
