hey friends in this video i'll go
[1]
through the five best vanguard etfs to
[4]
buy and hold forever that can easily
[7]
turn you into a multi-millionaire and
[9]
get you that much closer to financial
[11]
independence and to top it off i'll also
[13]
mention one specific vanguard etf that i
[16]
wouldn't suggest you touch with a 10
[18]
foot pole because it's that bad i always
[20]
recommend buying and holding these
[22]
things for as long as possible because
[24]
the stock market likes to act like a
[25]
little five-year-old that constantly has
[28]
temper tantrums in the short term but
[29]
over a long period of time the odds of
[31]
you doubling tripling or even
[33]
quadrupling your money greatly increases
[36]
first up we have the vanguard total
[38]
stock market etf now if there was one on
[40]
this list that i think everyone should
[42]
be holding it's this one vti seeks to
[45]
track the performance of the us stock
[46]
market as a whole now because of that it
[49]
basically holds a little bit of all of
[50]
the 4 100 stocks traded on the stock
[53]
market since the total stock market etf
[55]
holds that many stocks it's diversified
[57]
among large mid and small cap companies
[60]
based on their market cap this is a
[61]
passive index fund etf so there's very
[64]
little manager risk involved with the
[66]
types of stocks that are actually bought
[67]
and sold which is a really good thing
[69]
when you invest in the vanguard total
[71]
stock market etf you're essentially
[73]
placing your bet that u.s stocks will
[75]
continue to dominate the world over the
[77]
past 50 years the total market has only
[79]
seen about 10 of them that have ended
[81]
with a loss so 80 percent of the time
[83]
someone investing in this type of etf
[85]
ended up with more money it's like going
[86]
to a casino aka the stock market and
[89]
every time you spin that roulette wheel
[91]
aka buy stocks there's an 80 chance that
[94]
you'll end up making money in any given
[96]
year a ten thousand dollar investment
[98]
into this fund 10 years ago would have
[100]
turned into over 63 thousand dollars
[103]
that's because it has a one-year return
[104]
of 32 percent three-year return of 15
[108]
5-year return of 16.8 percent and of
[111]
course 10-year return of 16.6 now while
[115]
it's always fun to talk about how much
[116]
the vanguard total stock market etf has
[119]
made over the past 10 years it's always
[121]
good to understand how bad things can
[123]
get when the market has a downturn you
[125]
won't hear many people mentioning this
[126]
but all good investors understand the
[128]
upside potential as much as they
[130]
understand the downside potential as
[132]
well in 2007 vti saw its largest drop
[135]
due to the financial crisis it had a
[137]
maximum drawdown at that time of 50
[140]
percent and it took three years and one
[142]
month to recover since this fund is
[144]
passively managed there is very little
[146]
stock picking going on the fund manager
[148]
and their team are handling more of the
[149]
high level decisions to help keep
[151]
everything running properly because of
[153]
that the yearly cost to own vti is a
[156]
very low 0.03 percent or 30 cents for
[159]
every 1 000 you have invested because
[162]
the vanguard total stock market etf
[164]
holds 100 stocks vanguard has this one
[167]
rated at a 4 on the risk potential scale
[169]
since vti tracks the total stock market
[171]
the sector breakdown is going to be
[173]
based on the size of the company because
[175]
the largest companies are tech related
[177]
we can see that 25 of the fund is in
[179]
that sector followed by financial
[181]
services at 13
[182]
health care at 13
[184]
consumer cyclical at 12 and
[186]
communication services at 10 if things
[188]
change over time to where we'll say tech
[190]
companies become a smaller share of the
[192]
stock market or financial services
[194]
become a larger share of the market then
[196]
the fund will automatically adjust for
[198]
that so you don't really have to do
[199]
anything the top 10 holdings are going
[201]
to be a ton of companies that you most
[202]
likely recognize like microsoft apple
[205]
google amazon and tesla in total they
[208]
make up about 25 of the total net assets
[211]
the vanguard total stock market etf is
[213]
for any investor who wants to match the
[215]
returns of the you guessed it total u.s
[218]
stock market in a very passive way since
[220]
it's weighted by market cap and the top
[222]
10 make up a huge part of this the
[224]
majority of the returns are going to
[225]
come from those top 10 stocks the good
[228]
news is that they're all pretty solid
[230]
companies that have a good hold on the
[231]
industries that they dominate so it's
[233]
very unlikely that they're going to go
[235]
away anytime soon while some people
[236]
might be concerned that vti is extremely
[239]
concentrated in tech it's only that way
[241]
because that's what the market has
[242]
decided it should be i think we can all
[244]
agree that technology has been a big
[246]
part of the world's growth up until now
[248]
and i would expect it to continue that
[250]
way in the future we have more to go but
[251]
if you're getting some value from this
[253]
video so far then help support myself
[255]
and of course my dog molly by hitting
[257]
that thumbs up button and if you don't
[259]
then i'm just gonna assume that you
[260]
absolutely hate dogs come on now don't
[263]
be that guy or girl but if you are
[264]
someone who currently holds vti and
[266]
wants to diversify your portfolio a
[268]
little more so it's not extremely
[270]
concentrated in tech companies then
[272]
another etf to consider is the vanguard
[275]
real estate etf vnq this etf is set up
[278]
to track the broad u.s real estate
[280]
market and is made up of 171 different
[283]
stocks just like the vanguard total
[285]
stock market etf vnq is a cap weighted
[288]
fund so the larger companies will make
[290]
up a larger portion of this one think of
[292]
the vanguard real estate etf as a fund
[294]
of funds that's because it holds stocks
[296]
that are basically reits these reits
[298]
manage and develop basically every type
[300]
of real estate that you can think of
[302]
construction development specialized
[304]
commercial and residential real estate a
[307]
10 000 investment into vnq 10 years ago
[310]
would have turned into a little over 29
[312]
000 when you think about real estate
[314]
there's going to be two main ways that
[315]
you make money monthly cash flow and
[318]
property appreciation now because of
[320]
that this etf is going to give you a
[321]
little bit of income through dividends
[323]
of 2.5 percent along with stock price
[326]
appreciation so far it has a one-year
[328]
return of 31.6
[330]
three-year return of 13
[333]
5-year return of 10
[335]
and 10-year return of 11 because the
[337]
vanguard real estate etf has only been
[339]
around since 2004 i went ahead and
[342]
pulled the mutual fund version to get a
[344]
larger sample size to determine how many
[346]
down years it's had since inception this
[348]
mutual fund holds the exact same stocks
[351]
as v and q the only difference is that
[353]
it's existed for a longer period of time
[355]
over the past 26 years we've only had
[358]
six of them that ended in a negative
[360]
which is the kind of thing that you want
[361]
to see from any sort of etf that you
[363]
might be investing in but we need to
[365]
cover the downsides to give you an idea
[366]
of how things played out during the bad
[368]
times because all asset classes will
[370]
react differently the largest drawdown
[372]
came in 2007 where vnq saw a max
[375]
drawdown of 68
[378]
and it took three years and four months
[379]
to recover keep in mind that this
[381]
downturn in the market was extra hard on
[383]
any type of real estate because the
[385]
crash was caused by that specific sector
[387]
vnq is very inexpensive coming in at a
[390]
yearly cost of 0.12
[392]
or one dollar and twenty cents for every
[395]
one thousand dollars invested vanguard
[397]
lists this etf at a four on the risk
[399]
level scale because it is 100 stocks the
[402]
sector breakdown for vnq is of course
[404]
you guessed it because you're super
[406]
smart 100 real estate but the sector
[408]
breakdown within real estate looks like
[410]
this 38 and specialized 38 in commercial
[414]
and almost 14 in residential real estate
[417]
the rest are spread among the four
[419]
smaller sectors the top 10 holdings make
[421]
up about 44 of the overall portfolio now
[424]
this might sound like a lot because it
[426]
technically is but this is usually the
[429]
case with sector specific etfs that are
[431]
based on market cap the enqueue is for
[433]
the investor who wants to get some
[435]
exposure to the real estate market in a
[437]
very cost effective way without actually
[439]
owning and managing physical properties
[442]
on your own if you're someone who has a
[443]
few rental properties then you might
[445]
already have enough exposure in that
[447]
asset class so it probably wouldn't make
[449]
sense to add this etf to your portfolio
[452]
overexposure in one asset class or
[454]
specific stock is something that you
[455]
want to double check before adding any
[457]
etf to your portfolio if you hold
[459]
something like an s p 500 etf or the
[462]
vanguard total stock market etf and are
[464]
concerned that too much of your money is
[466]
concentrated into large cap stocks then
[469]
you might want to consider adding a
[470]
small cap fund like the vanguard small
[472]
cap etf vb this etf seeks to track the
[476]
us small cap index and is made up of
[478]
over 1500 stocks now small cap stocks
[481]
are generally considered to be companies
[483]
with a market cap size of anywhere
[485]
between 300 million and two billion
[487]
dollars i know i know two billion
[489]
dollars sounds like a lot and it kind of
[492]
is but when you compare it to a large
[494]
cap stock like apple that has a 2.8
[497]
trillion dollar market cap two billion
[499]
dollars sounds like peanuts a smaller
[501]
cap etf is inherently more volatile in
[503]
the short term compared to an s p 500
[506]
etf but actually historically small cap
[509]
companies have outperformed large cap
[511]
companies ten thousand dollars invested
[513]
into the vanguard small cap etf would
[515]
have turned into a little bit over forty
[517]
five thousand dollars today vb has had a
[520]
one-year return of 22.5
[522]
three-year return of 15.3 percent
[525]
five-year return of 13.1 and of course
[528]
10-year return of 13.8 percent even
[531]
though historically small caps have
[533]
dominated large caps i'll have to admit
[535]
that over the past 10 years large cap
[537]
companies have absolutely dominated
[539]
small cap companies here's a side by
[541]
side just to give you an idea of how
[543]
different the returns have been this is
[545]
because large cap stocks like apple
[547]
google and amazon have grown at rates
[550]
never seen before within the past few
[552]
years these already large companies are
[553]
always expected to grow of course but
[555]
holy smokes not in the way that apple
[557]
has been recently they've grown by
[559]
almost five times within the past five
[561]
years going from a market cap of 608
[564]
billion dollars in 2016 to a 2.9
[567]
trillion dollar market cap in 2021 the
[570]
question is how much longer will that
[571]
growth actually continue now if you
[573]
think it has to slow down soon then we
[576]
might start seeing small cap etfs start
[578]
to outperform as always the drawdowns
[580]
will happen when you own any type of etf
[582]
for the vanguard small cap etf we saw
[585]
its biggest drawdown of 53
[587]
in 2007 where it took 1 year and 10
[590]
months to recover vanguard small cap etf
[592]
is also inexpensive coming in at a
[594]
yearly cost of .05 or 50 cents for every
[599]
1 000 invested the risk level for this
[601]
etf is on the high end at five because
[604]
small cap stocks are naturally more
[606]
risky due to their size and short-term
[608]
volatility the sector breakdown is
[610]
spread pretty well for the top six
[611]
sectors ranging from nine percent to
[614]
sixteen percent from a sector
[615]
diversification perspective this is
[617]
pretty good the top 10 holdings is an
[619]
interesting one compared to the etfs
[621]
that we've already covered because they
[623]
only make up 3.3 percent of the total
[626]
net assets if you remember the total
[627]
stock market etf was something like 24
[630]
and the real estate etf was something
[632]
like 44 in the top 10. 3.3 is probably
[636]
what you want to see in a small cap etf
[638]
anyways to help spread your risk out
[640]
just a little bit more this small cap
[642]
etf is for the investor who is looking
[644]
for more exposure to small cap companies
[646]
to help balance out a portfolio that
[648]
might be large cap heavy if you hold
[650]
something like a total market index or s
[652]
p 500 index as a large portion of your
[654]
portfolio then this might be a good one
[656]
to add to gain some more exposure to
[658]
some of those smaller up and coming
[660]
stocks don't invest in this small cap
[662]
etf if you're someone who freaks out
[665]
every time that you look at your
[666]
portfolio and see that it's down it is
[668]
very common for something like a small
[670]
cap etf to be down a couple percentage
[672]
points within a one day period growth
[674]
stocks have been ruling the world over
[676]
the past few years so we had to add the
[678]
vanguard growth etf vug vug tracks the
[682]
large cap growth index this is going to
[684]
be made up of large u.s companies whose
[687]
stocks are on the rise most of these
[689]
stocks are going to be above average
[691]
when it comes to a sound balance sheet
[693]
so the companies are pretty solid plays
[695]
in total there are currently 278 stocks
[697]
that make up this etf to keep things in
[699]
check a little bit the fund has capped
[701]
the amount that it can hold within one
[703]
individual stock at 10 so even if one of
[706]
the companies that it holds continues to
[708]
grow at insane rates it won't be allowed
[710]
to basically take over a huge portion of
[712]
the vanguard growth etf ten thousand
[715]
dollars invested into the vanguard
[716]
growth etf since inception would have
[719]
turned into over seventy four thousand
[721]
dollars with interest rates being so low
[723]
for so long it's really benefited growth
[726]
stocks the most vug has had a one year
[728]
return of 30.5 percent three-year return
[731]
of 30.1 percent five-year return of 24.6
[735]
and 10-year return of 19 when we're
[738]
thinking about the largest drawdowns for
[740]
this etf the largest one came in 2007
[743]
where it dropped 47
[745]
and took two years to recover the third
[747]
largest was in 2018 when the federal
[749]
reserve increased interest rates for
[751]
just a short period of time which of
[753]
course scared the crap out of the stock
[754]
market so they turned around and lowered
[756]
them back down again keep this in mind
[758]
for when the federal reserve decides to
[760]
increase rates again because when they
[762]
do this etf might suffer a little bit
[764]
for who knows how long vug is extremely
[767]
inexpensive at a yearly cost of .04
[771]
or forty cents for every one thousand
[773]
dollars invested the risk level is at a
[775]
four which is to be expected since it
[777]
only holds a basket of stocks but not a
[779]
five because all of these companies are
[781]
pretty large with healthy balance sheets
[783]
the sector breakdown is tech tech and
[786]
more tech i'm kind of just kidding but
[788]
it does make up 40 of this etf which
[790]
basically means that when tech is down
[792]
vug will be down as well the vanguard
[795]
growth etf is made up of companies we're
[797]
all very familiar with apple microsoft
[800]
google amazon home depot and visa
[803]
because these companies are massive and
[805]
they are each capped at 10 holdings the
[807]
top 10 makes up 50 percent of the funds
[810]
holdings which is pretty high these 10
[812]
companies are going to be what really
[813]
moves this etf up or down an etf like
[816]
vug is going to be for anyone looking to
[818]
add some of the largest growth related
[820]
stocks to your portfolio because 40 of
[823]
the fund is made up of tech companies
[825]
it's not well diversified in other areas
[827]
which is perfectly fine if you're not
[828]
worried about that if you currently hold
[830]
something like the vanguard total stock
[832]
market etf or an s p 500 etf then you
[835]
technically already have a lot of
[837]
exposure to the top 10 in this etf
[839]
because of that if you're dead set on
[841]
adding this one to your portfolio then
[843]
it might not make sense to make vug a
[845]
large portion of your overall holdings
[847]
so far we've covered all us-based etfs
[850]
it's time to give some love to the
[852]
international money-making stocks out
[854]
there to cover that area of the market
[857]
we have to talk about the vanguard total
[859]
international stock etf vx us this ctf
[863]
seeks to track their performance of the
[864]
global all-cap x us index which measures
[868]
the investment return of stocks issued
[870]
by companies located outside of the
[872]
united states in total there are 7 800
[875]
different international stocks held
[877]
within this etf ten thousand dollars
[879]
invested into the vanguard total
[881]
international stock etfs since inception
[883]
would have turned into a little over
[885]
twenty thousand dollars vxus has had a
[887]
one-year return of eleven point four
[889]
percent three-year return of 10.5
[892]
percent five-year return of 9.5 and a
[896]
10-year return of 7.3 percent the
[898]
largest drawdown for this etf came in
[900]
2018 when it dropped by 25 percent and
[903]
took eight months to recover the second
[905]
largest came in 2014 it lost 20 percent
[909]
and took a little over a year to recover
[911]
just like the rest of the etfs on this
[913]
list vxus is very inexpensive at a
[916]
yearly cost of .08 percent or 80 cents
[919]
for every 1 000 invested since this etf
[922]
only holds stocks outside of the us
[925]
there there's inherent risk associated
[927]
with that type of investment because of
[929]
that vanguard rates the risk potential
[931]
at a five when it comes to the sectors
[933]
that make up this etf it's not overly
[935]
exposed to one particular area the
[937]
largest part of it is financial services
[939]
at 18
[941]
followed by tech and industrials both at
[943]
13 when we look at the top 10 holdings
[946]
you'll probably recognize most of them
[948]
they all rely heavily on the us market
[950]
which is a big reason they all look so
[952]
familiar one thing to note is that these
[954]
top 10 only make up a little less than
[956]
10 of the overall holdings within this
[959]
etf which isn't a lot the regent
[961]
allocation for the vanguard total
[962]
international etf are mainly in europe
[965]
at 40 percent followed by emerging
[967]
markets and pacific at 26 and 25 the
[970]
vanguard total international stock etf
[973]
is for the investor who wants to
[975]
diversify somewhere other than u.s
[977]
stocks while u.s businesses are the most
[979]
dominant in the world that could change
[981]
at some point in the future now i
[982]
personally don't think that it's going
[984]
to happen anytime soon but let's be
[986]
honest crazier things could happen if
[987]
you're like me and still a little
[989]
skeptical about putting money into an
[991]
international etf then just make it a
[993]
small holding within your overall
[994]
portfolio at i don't know five or ten
[997]
percent investing in an international
[998]
etf can help diversify your overall
[1001]
portfolio but i personally wouldn't
[1003]
touch the vanguard total world etf with
[1006]
a 10 foot pole this etf holds 63 in u.s
[1010]
stocks and 37 in international stocks
[1013]
which in my opinion is absolutely insane
[1015]
37 in international is what my grandpa
[1018]
would call too much meat for the
[1020]
sandwich i know you're like too much
[1022]
meat for the sandwich is that even
[1023]
possible in this case yes it is the
[1025]
potential for international to
[1027]
underperform us going forward isn't a
[1029]
reason to completely avoid it but i
