VEA is essential for long-term, cost-efficient diversification, offering exposure to non-U.S. developed markets with minimal overlap and ultra-low fees. Blending VEA with U.S. equities smooths returns, reduces risk, and captures leadership rotations that single-region portfolios miss. VEA's broad sector and geographic diversification, low concentration, and Vanguard's scale make it structurally superior to international ETF peers.
The US dollar's decline has boosted international stocks, with Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF outperforming the S&P 500 by 23 percentage points in 77 trading days. VEA's valuation is attractive, with a low earnings multiple of 13.5x and a high yield over 3%, compared to the S&P 500. The ETF's diversified portfolio, leaning towards value stocks, has shown resilience, amid market volatility, supported by strong financial and tech sector performance.
