MY EXACT Dividend Stock Portfolio — See it in M1 Finance! ||
All anybody talks about on YouTube is Vanguard Index Fund VTSAX or Vanguard Index Fund VFIAX. I am here to tell you that there are other Vanguard Index Funds out there that may be PERFECT for your investment portfolio. These Vanguard Index Funds may not be talked about AT ALL on YouTube, but they do an EXCELLENT JOB of delivering high returns for investors.
WHY VANGUARD VTSAX IS OVER-HYPED
All anybody talks about on YouTube is how Vanguard’s VTSAX Index Fund is the best thing since sliced bread. I personally do NOT own VTSAX because it is NOT REALLY a true total stock market index fund. This is due to market capitalization weighting. This means that the top-value stocks in an index (think Microsoft, Amazon, Google, etc.) have the highest weighting in the index whereas the lowest value companies have the least weighting. As a result, the TOP 10 Holdings in VTSAX represent nearly 20% of the index even though there are over 3,500 holdings in the index. IN FACT, the top 10 holdings in the VTSAX Total Market Index Fund MATCH the top 10 holdings in the VFIAX S&P 500 Index Fund.

3 AMAZING Vanguard Index Funds NOBODY is Talking About!
When it comes to index funds, Vanguard has long been considered a pioneer and leader in the industry. With a wide range of offerings, Vanguard index funds have garnered a reputation for their low fees, diversification, and long-term growth potential. While funds like the Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VFIAX) and Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX) often steal the spotlight, there are a few lesser-known funds that deserve some attention. Here are three amazing Vanguard index funds that are flying under the radar.
1. Vanguard International High Dividend Yield Index Fund (VIHAX):
While many investors focus on domestic stocks, the international market presents countless opportunities. This index fund provides exposure to high dividend-yielding equities from developed and emerging markets worldwide. The fund aims to track the performance of the FTSE All-World ex-US High Dividend Yield Index, which is comprised of companies that have higher-than-average dividend yields compared to the non-U.S. equity market. With a low expense ratio and broad diversification, VIHAX offers investors a chance to enhance their portfolio’s income while benefiting from international growth potential.
2. Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund (VGSLX):
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have long been a popular choice for income-seeking investors, and the Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund is an excellent vehicle for gaining exposure to this asset class. This index fund tracks the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index, which includes a broad range of publicly traded U.S. REITs. With low costs and a solid dividend yield, VGSLX can offer investors steady income and the potential for long-term capital appreciation as the real estate market continues to grow.
3. Vanguard Health Care Index Fund (VHCIX):
With the healthcare sector often considered a defensive play, the Vanguard Health Care Index Fund offers investors a way to tap into this industry’s growth potential. This index fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Health Care 25/50 Index and invests primarily in healthcare-related stocks. As the demand for healthcare services continues to rise, VHCIX provides investors with exposure to a diverse range of companies involved in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical equipment, and more. Given the sector’s resilience and continuous innovation, this fund can be a valuable addition to an investor’s portfolio.
While these three Vanguard index funds may not receive as much attention as their better-known counterparts, they boast compelling features that make them worth considering. By diversifying across international high dividend-yielding equities, real estate investment trusts, and the healthcare sector, investors can potentially enhance their portfolios while minimizing risk. As always, it’s essential to conduct thorough research and consult a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
So many bad advises in that video… The performances comparison on recent performances is totally meaningless and can lead to the buy high and sell low behavior. Recommend growth indexes while many academic study shows that value offer better returns. My take on it: we have no clue what will outperform, diversify.
VITAX is the Only fund to have at Vangaurd.
Good vid. MGK is interesting. Reminds me of an old radio station, WMGK. No love for my favorite, VGT? Hmmm
Vsgax is a great buy now. Going to check out vhyax
How about SCHB
SCHD and SCHG are the Best!!!
Hello I’m starting my 401k at work I have vanguard I’m looking into going hard into VINIX what are your thoughts on that I’m going for the long run I’m 23 years old
Weak betamale. Nice thumbnail, you creep, are you trying to attract children for clicks? Are you trying out to host a children's show? Blues Clues?

Does Vanguard Mega Cap Growth self clense?
Hi! I'm starting my very first Roth Ira via M1 Fin. I just want a Vanguard Index Fund with only 13-20 of the top US companies. Is there anything there for me? No bonds. Not crazy about 100s of comps. Is there an index fund low cost with a much higher concentration of FB, MSFT AMZ Brks B shares?
What about vinix in a company 401k
Great video! Thanks
What stock do you recommend for short term gain? I have 10k and want to grow it to pay down student loan of 25k. Thanks
Symbols are MGK, VBK, VYM
VIGAX will blow up mid 2022 thru 2030. Just in time for my retirement.
Great video. I will add VBK.
Check out VHT and VFH, other Vanguard ETF sectors that are killing it and add diversification
For a tax advantaged account I like Pimco PSLDX. Great yield at 26%
Vug too
@The Average Joe Investor. Do you have a video comparing dividend investing to growth investing & which is better for the long term investor? Also, I would love to see a video explaining the differences between the investment types such as VB, VBK & VBR.
Are you able to set up automated investing in the ETF versions of these funds? When I set up automated investing, my only option is VTSAX even though I also own the VXUS ETF. VXUS is not an option for monthly or weekly automated bank drafts. I would have to buy the VHYAX if I want to automate which is $3000 minimum to open, and 0.08% vs. 0.06% for the VYM ETF.
MGK has become even better in the last year!!!
Great contact. Aren’t MGK & MGC pretty much the same thing. As far as it’s waiting in the top 10 stocks.
SPYG has a much lower expense ratio than VOOG which is abnormal. SPY is more expensive than VOO
I want to add MGK and VBK …how about VXF?
10 stocks
VYM all the way, baby!
Didn’t realize Voo,Vti was same!
Great vid Joe, thank you!!!!!
I like VXF as a hedge for all my funds that have a weighted Tesla and Amazon in. And has nice dividends
yeah especially VB it grew 663% since inception in 1992
Going to add the 2 I didn't have, already had the small cap – Mahalo bro!!!
Those are good but if you are investing in long term it doesn’t make a difference to wait for the stock to drop.
My 5 picks for mutual funds
VTSAX
VFIAX
VWUSX
VIGAX
VITAX
ETF
VGT (if you love apple)
VCR (strong companies)
VOO (low exp ratio)
VPU (higher dividend)
VUG
(MGK) Machine Gun Kelly Growth Index BROOO
What about VIGAX?
Great insight Joe, on lesser known ETF’S by Vanguard, I’ll definitely be investing in all 3 index funds in the immediate future.
Currently have VTSAX & VFIAX (401K). What are your thoughts on VWUSX, VWIGX, VGHCX ?
Thank you for your hours of research. God bless and Happy New Year!
What happen to the white board? I missed the 3. I will watch again.
