VT: When Momentum Is Riding High, Diversify
VT offers low-cost, highly liquid, and broadly diversified global equity exposure, making it ideal as a core portfolio holding. U.S. equity markets are increasingly concentrated, raising risk for U.S.-centric investors and highlighting the need for global diversification. VT reduces concentration risk, provides greater sector and market cap diversification, and trades at more attractive valuations than the S&P 500.
International Equity ETF (VT) Hits New 52-Week High
VT hits a 52-week high, lifted by easing trade tensions, strong global earnings and AI-driven investor optimism.
VT: Policy Divergence Could Drive Rare Outperformance
VT offers extensive global diversification but is heavily weighted towards US stocks, which may not appeal to those already holding US equities. The fund has consistently underperformed the S&P 500, though recent outperformance is driven by European stocks benefiting from dovish central bank policies. VT's low expense ratio of 0.06% is attractive, but its exposure to global risks and volatile small-cap stocks warrants caution.
