VT: Global Exposure And The Timing Makes Sense

The global growth outlook for 2024 is positive, which is bullish for global equities, but rising interest rates and a strong dollar are key macro risks. The valuation gap between US and ex-US stocks is widening, making ex-US stocks more attractive for long-term investors.

Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund ETF Shares offers massive diversification with over 9,000 holdings, including developed and emerging markets. VT has a 5-year compound annual growth rate of 10.10%, underperforming both its global ETF peers as well as the S&P 500 Index.

Vanguard's VT ETF, often promoted as a "set and forget" investment, has historically underperformed the U.S. Total Stock Market over long periods of time due to its heavy international stock allocation. VT offers global diversification, but tax implications and the cyclical nature of international and U.S. stock performance should be considered when deciding on an investment strategy. US based companies can have substantial international exposure, so it's essential to assess where they conduct global business when evaluating portfolio choices.

These ETFs can be beneficial whether used individually or together, depending on an investor's risk tolerance and investment duration.
