Top 5 Vanguard ETFs to Buy and Hold (2023)
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have gained immense popularity among retail investors in recent years. These investment vehicles offer diversification, low fees, and the ability to buy and sell shares throughout the trading day. One of the leading ETF providers is Vanguard, known for its commitment to low-cost investing. Here, we present the top five Vanguard ETFs that investors may consider buying and holding for the year 2023.
1. Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI):
As the name suggests, VTI provides exposure to the entire U.S. stock market. This ETF tracks the performance of the CRSP US Total Market Index, which covers more than 3,500 publicly traded companies. With a low expense ratio and broad market diversification, VTI serves as a reliable core holding for long-term investors seeking exposure to the U.S. equity market.
2. Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG):
VIG focuses on large-cap U.S. stocks that have a strong track record of increasing dividends over time. This ETF seeks to track the performance of the NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index, which includes companies with at least ten consecutive years of dividend growth. VIG offers investors exposure to stocks that have a history of consistently rewarding shareholders through dividend hikes, making it an appealing choice for income-oriented investors.
3. Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS):
For investors looking to diversify their portfolio beyond the United States, VXUS provides exposure to global equity markets. This ETF follows the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index, comprising over 7,400 stocks from both developed and emerging markets. VXUS allows investors to participate in the growth potential of international economies while reducing dependence on any single country.
4. Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND):
Fixed-income investors seeking stability and income may find BND a suitable choice. This ETF aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index, which includes a wide range of investment-grade U.S. bonds. BND provides exposure to various sectors of the bond market, mitigating the risk associated with being heavily invested in a specific bond type.
5. Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ):
Lastly, VNQ offers investors exposure to the U.S. real estate market through REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). This ETF seeks to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index, which includes both residential and commercial REITs. VNQ offers a convenient way to gain exposure to the real estate sector, allowing investors to potentially benefit from income generation and capital appreciation.
Investors should consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon before investing in these Vanguard ETFs. Additionally, consulting with a financial advisor is always recommended to ensure these ETFs align with an individual’s overall investment strategy.
In conclusion, the top five Vanguard ETFs to consider buying and holding for the year 2023 include VTI, VIG, VXUS, BND, and VNQ. By diversifying across various asset classes and geographies, investors can potentially enhance their portfolio’s risk-adjusted return and embark on a path towards long-term financial success.
I been buying up VNQ for a few weeks just started investing. I put about $600 in a month my goal is to generate passive income in 10/15 years.
What about VNQI !?
Is there a difference with s&p 500 ETF and a s&p 500 index fund, i see one is called VOO and the other VUSA, what to choose and why?
MER on ETFs will siphon your profits!!!!!!
Thanks for the video , been listening to heaps of Audible books , this summed them up well 🙂 Really enjoyed it
I have 51 shares of VXUS, I’m just wondering if that’s enough or should I add to it? At 10% now! Does percentage allocation count as money amounts or shares?
People are sheep. They will buy a bond just because someone told them to. I will never buy a bond. Buffett don't buy them either. It's just plain stupid.
Great video!
Yup I do the 95% & 5% money account system it works for me. Keep up the hard work on the videos
I highly recommend Bogle's book "Common Sense Investing," which is mentioned here. It has some tougher sections as a new investor, but Bogle's thesis is this: A slow and steady basket of stocks wins the race. Also: Don't try to beat the market. History shows us that the greatest gains come from investing directly into the S&P 500 using passive, low cost index funds.
You only need: 80% in VTI & VXUS, & 20% in BND & BNDX
100% UPRO
Thanks!
Thank you God bless you from India,,,,,,
I like the VIGI + VSS combo for international coverage
Why are people holding both VOO and VTI? VTI includes both small and med cap stocks (tiny bit more volatile) and VOO is top 500 large caps. They both have an average return nearly spot on to each other, so why double dip? I have heard many say not to hold both. Just curious as to why so many have both.
Sehr gut erklärt. Danke
VTI = VOO + VXF
I prefer to have them seperate to alocate more to S&P 500
I have VOO, VXF, VEA
this is my current portfolio what i do with my income 33% i put into vanguard ETF's for growth and yield, 33% i put in gold and silver 33% i leave it cash in case market crashes so i can buy more stocks or gold.
The 85% of funds managers underperforming the index provided is for any single year. More impressively and importantly is to look at that figure over 5, 10, and 20 years, where it increases to 90, 97, and 99%. That makes for a more than compelling case for index investing, and how very rare the likes of Peter Lynch truly are.
be aware of retirement funds that allocate between various funds – they may charge more.
also, be aware of the "passive" nature of these. They often own those companies regardless of their 'financials' and more due to their market share.
next great concept for beginners – dollar-cost averaging.
What about VT
Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the timer to put this together!
Now the vanguard funds turned into cits through vanguard. Retirement date collective investment trusts! You can no longer do an sp500 fund with them! How am i getting screwed ? It has to benefit them and screw me somehow ?
Jack Bogel an American treasure, I have been at Vanguard investing for over 3 decades, I peaked, wow. Thanks Jack.
"People who are older have a lager amount of bond funds." In the last 5-10 years that would have been the wrost advice you can give to anyone. Equities have blown away bond funds which are horrible. I wouldn't put a dime in them. I am 71. I do have quite a bit in a S&P index fund.
The funds you use should depend on your investing objectives. I like income so I invest in monthly dividend paying stocks and ETFs. I like QYLD, RYLD, RA, UTG, UTF and many others. PCEF and YYY will provide closed end fund exposure in an etf wrapper with good monthly dividends and diversification. Just remember to use a sell stop order underneath your positions in case the market turns against you. Good luck, vote republican and God bless.
Do VOO, VYM for the most part. Some VNQ for real estate
Excellent summary. The breadth of material covered in 10 minutes is truly impressive.
I had lunch with Jack Bogle twice.
He was a great guy and had the interests of investors being paramount.
Very clear for us dummies. Thank you
What do you or what does John Bogle think about having ETFs in your portfolio that give dividends? What are vanguard's suggested dividend ETFs and how should we allocate these ETFs into our portfolio?
All 6 funds and ETF I just put 5K in each please tell me I did good
1)VYM
2)HDV
3)VEU
4)SCHD
5)BND
6)VTSAX
Under 50? VTI and forget about it until you reach 50.
I think if anyone adding to bonds currently is shooting themselves in the foot on purpose because the cpi is around 6% and returns for bnd is not even close.
thanksss for reading the book for us:))
I'm quite confused by the fact it is recommended to invest in the Total stock market ETF/fund and also the international as I thought the international is already included in the total stock market one as it is a global one? Is investing in the international one aswell just to increase your % holdings in these countries as the global one is mainly made up of American companies or what is the benefit of this?
Is it best to invest in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF or the index fund?
Another Vanguard ETF I like is VYM (high dividend companies).
That was only 4 etf ?
Your makeup is on point
Excellent video. Great information. I am from India. I have invested in large cap individual stocks to some extent. Now I have allowed them to compound for next 15-20 years.
Now I invest in ETFs predominantly. Also encouraging my friends to invest in index funds or ETFs.
My boring portfolio: 70% in VOO, 20% in VTI and 10% in VT. Set it and forget it! You’re set for your life.
I read that book when I turned 30, completely changed my investing strategies for the better. My friends and coworkers day trade and take much more risk than I would ever want to. I live my life without worrying about market timing or monkeying around with my portfolio (as Dave Ramsey would say). Investing isn’t supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be boring 🙂 great video. VTSAX and chill.
Do you have document or book(s) that you can recommend.
