Vanguard ETFs offer diverse long-term investment strategies

Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer various strategies for long-term wealth building, ranging from sector-specific technology exposure to diversified international and domestic holdings.

The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) has historically provided strong returns, averaging an annualized return of approximately 25% over the last 10 years and 21% over the last 20 years. Due to its low 0.09% expense ratio, it has outperformed other options like the Invesco QQQ in certain timeframes.

For investors focused on the Australian market, the Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (VAS) tracks the S&P/ASX 300 Index, providing exposure to major domestic banks and mining companies with a 0.07% management fee. Meanwhile, the Vanguard MSCI International Shares ETF (VGS) offers exposure to over 1,200 companies in developed markets outside Australia, with a heavy concentration in United States technology firms such as NVIDIA, Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft.

Additionally, the Vanguard Diversified High Growth ETF (VDHG) serves as a multi-asset option for investors seeking a ‘set-and-forget’ approach.
