In this video, we’ll go over the 5 best Vanguard ETFs to invest in. These are the top index funds from Vanguard that you can buy and hold forever to help you reach Financial Independence sooner. 100% of my investment portfolio is loaded up with ETF index funds just like these because they’re simple, reliable, and can easily double, triple, or even quadruple in price if you hold them for long periods of time.
I always suggest buying and holding these ETFs for as long as possible because the stock market is very volatile in the short term. If any of these investments happen to underperform in the short term then don’t automatically sell off your positions. Patience is the most important part of investing.

5 Best Vanguard ETFs to Buy and Hold Forever
When it comes to investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Vanguard is a household name. Known for its low fees, broad diversity, and excellent performance, Vanguard ETFs are an ideal choice for long-term investments.

With an expense ratio of only 0.03%, this ETF is a must-have for any long-term investor seeking exposure to the US equity market.
2. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO):
The S&P 500 is widely considered one of the best representations of the US stock market performance. By investing in VOO, you can gain exposure to the largest 500 publicly traded companies in the US, including tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. With a low expense ratio of 0.03%, this ETF is an excellent choice for investors seeking core US equity exposure.
3. Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS):
Diversification is crucial when it comes to long-term investing, and that’s where VXUS shines. This ETF provides exposure to both developed and emerging international markets, excluding the US. With over 7,000 stocks from over 45 countries, VXUS allows investors to spread their risk and benefit from global economic growth. With an expense ratio of 0.08%, VXUS is an essential addition to any long-term portfolio.
4. Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND):
For investors looking to add fixed income exposure to their portfolio, BND is the perfect choice. This ETF aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index, which includes a wide range of US investment-grade bonds. With an expense ratio of just 0.035%, BND provides a low-cost way to diversify and reduce the risk associated with equity investments.
5. Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ):
Real estate can be an excellent addition to a well-diversified portfolio, and VNQ allows investors to gain exposure to the industry. This ETF tracks the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index, which includes a diverse range of US-based real estate investment trusts (REITs). With an expense ratio of 0.12%, VNQ provides access to the potential income and growth opportunities of the real estate market.

Investing in these five Vanguard ETFs can provide a strong foundation for a well-diversified and long-term portfolio. Remember, holding these ETFs forever requires patience, discipline, and a focus on long-term goals.
Good work
Snp500 all you need baby
Hi, you are very informative n I enjoy your channel. I am 57 n max out my roth for last 3 yrs. Im new at this with the taxable account. I have 10 shares of fxaix n schd in taxable account. account
Q. thinking of adding voo n just continue with that instead of fxaix, (ill just have both)is that ok or just keep adding to fxaix.
Also, do I put a 5,000 in n add 100 or 200 each month?
What about VNQI !?
Is there any real benefit of saving up the $3k to put into a Vanguard index fund instead of just putting what you have when you have it into the equivalent EFT?
I personally own VYM and VUG. I feel pretty darn good about those
Nicely explained
I have individual stocks in addition to Vanguard funds. I am going with VTI, VXUS, VBR, VOT and VYM for the ETF part of the portfolio. Bond funds are a bit risky right now.
just all in tqqq
If I buy VTI through Schwab, I would not have to pay any additional fees/Schwab would not charge me any fee for investing in a Vanguard fund on their platform, correct?
Also, is there a noticeable difference between Schwab's Total Market Index/ETF vs Vanguards' ETF/Index?
sorry but these funds you referring, its not ETFs, its index funds 😀 ETFs and index funds is different instrument.
i retired from the post office in 2009, my tsp (5 index funds you could place your retirement dollars in – mine was 40% in the small company fund, 40% in large company fund and the rest in bonds) was down over 40%. These funds are all very lowcost.
Having learned the hard way I knew as long as I did nothing I would get that money back in spades. Over the next decade I ended up with huge gains over what i had before the 2008 swoon and that proves you don't lose until you sell, you just have to have the discipline to wait the market out.
I listened to the whole video while driving. Could someone list the ticket symbols so I don't have to go back through?
Confused because you left out the biggest vanguard fund of VOO
Ah, this was made over a year ago, I was going to say, those 1 year returns don't make sense now. Nor do the 10 year values. At this moment.
Hello I have a question. When I buy an ETF from example Vanguard: what exactly do I buy? I know an ETF represents a basket of shares, but I can imagine Vanguard will not buy/sell shares all the time for the invested capital of all owners of the ETF during the day. I can imagine they have to hold something of a buffer as collateral. Can you tell me more? Gr.
So if u own VTI and then add that Reit etf, you are in essense overweighting the real estate sector. What is the overlap btwn the VNQ and VTI?
Was VGT in here? That is an all star VG etf. It is a great tech fund. Good..keep it a secret.
'There is an 80% chance…' No. There WAS an 80% chance. As every advisor has to tell you- the past is no guide to the future.
VOO is literally better than all of the ones you listed.
How would you allocate those
I got my 401k thru vanguard. I'm investing 75% on stocks and 25% on bonds. Should I change it to 100 % on stocks to grow faster
