Review - Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF (VXUS)

4/21/2024

This is one of my core positions I am dollar cost averaging into which ideally represents 20% of my portfolio. It is an International Fund Index. This ETF is off its recent highs from April 9, 2024 and is up 1.03% Year To Date. Its current 1-year return is 3.1%. The 5-Year Chart has been relatively flat with Growth of only 8.77% over 5-years. That is very little growth over that long of a period of time. So why invest in something that has done so poorly. RISK DIVERSIFICATION. It is good to have a balanced portfolio, and this helps to achieve that, with growth potential, and a current dividend of 3.43% annually.
