Vanguard Total Bond Market

Market cap $143B

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) rising 30% within the past month didn't get in the way of inflows for the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO). The ETF notched just over $120.5 billion inflows through November 21, beating out last year's $116 billion.

U.S. bonds are outperforming after years of volatility, with 10-year Treasury yields falling as inflation pressures moderate even with some prices still elevated.

The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF gives you exposure to the entire U.S. market, while the Vanguard Growth Index can give you additional growth stock exposure. The Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF can help you diversify into some high-quality international stocks.

The macro data suggest that dividend investors may be in for a rude surprise in the wake of the Fed's rate cuts. Because a major macro shift is underway, the usual assumptions dividend investors make may no longer be reliable. I also share how I am seeking to avoid potentially the most dangerous mistake many dividend investors are making right now.

For any retiree nervous about the current state of the market, not only do they have a good reason to be skeptical about short-term growth, but they also have every reason to want to protect their downside.

On this episode of the “ETF of the Week” podcast, VettaFi's Head of Research, Todd Rosenbluth, discussed the Capital Group Municipal Income ETF (CGMU) with Chuck Jaffe of Money Life. The pair discussed several topics related to the fund to give investors a deeper understanding of the ETF.

In the World Series of ETF inflows, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) could do what the Los Angeles Dodgers just did in professional baseball: go back to back with another $100 billion in inflows for a second consecutive year.

The S&P 500 index is hovering near all-time highs, which may have some investors worried about a bear market in 2026. It is probably more important to start investing than it is to try to time the market.
