The Vanguard Morningstar Mega-Cap Growth ETF is a growth investor's delight. The Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF adds some juice to fixed portfolios.

Investing in emerging markets (EM) used to be synonymous with getting exposure to China. It's an ideal notion, given that it's the second largest economy and thus commands a heavy weight in standard EM benchmarks.

Vanguard Emerging Markets Ex-China ETF offers broad EM exposure excluding China, with a 0.07% expense ratio and 1,018 holdings. VEXC is heavily concentrated in Taiwan (37.7% of assets), especially TSM (21.8%), creating significant country- and company-specific risk. The fund underperforms peer ex-China EM ETFs over its 7-month track record but stands out for its ultra-low fees.

2026 could finally feature leadership from something other than tech and AI stocks. Value and dividend stocks present compelling opportunities, given how investors have shifted as the tech rally cools.

Vanguard launches an exchange-traded fund to help investors access emerging markets like Brazil, India and Taiwan while avoiding China's risk and volatility.

The on-again-off-again trade war between the U.S. and China is enough to keep investors guessing. Some investors are avoiding China stocks.
