In this piece, we'll have a closer look at three of the most popular Vanguard ETFs out there.

Vanguard announced the debut of a new low-cost, emerging markets (EM) exchange-traded fund (ETF) — the Vanguard Emerging Markets ex-China ETF (VEXC). EM assets have been garnering increased investor attention this year and could see additional interest with the prospect of more interest rate cuts to come.

International stocks can be a great addition to any long-term portfolio because they can provide geographical diversification and protect against risks specific to the U.S. economy. And there are some excellent exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that can help you get exposure.

Vanguard is among the top exchange traded fund (ETF) providers, and actually was a pioneer of this industry.

VEA is essential for long-term, cost-efficient diversification, offering exposure to non-U.S. developed markets with minimal overlap and ultra-low fees. Blending VEA with U.S. equities smooths returns, reduces risk, and captures leadership rotations that single-region portfolios miss. VEA's broad sector and geographic diversification, low concentration, and Vanguard's scale make it structurally superior to international ETF peers.
