VEU LATEST HEADLINES
Foreign companies may achieve their highest EPS since 2009, with the ACWX Index forecasted for strong EPS growth over the next 12 months. VEU trades at a low forward P/E of 14.0x, offering broad international exposure and a forward dividend yield of 3.0%. Despite bearish seasonal trends, VEU's long-term technical trend is positive, with rising 200-day moving averages and strong diversification.
The US continues to outperform global markets, with the S&P 500 hitting all-time highs while VEU lags behind. VEU is a diversified fund with attractive valuation, low expense ratio, and good dividend yield. Despite the potential for a catch-up trade, it is hard to predict what the catalyst could be and VEU's diversification could work against it.
U.S. markets have dominated for over a decade, but international stocks may gain momentum. The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund ETF Shares is a good way to allocate overseas and remove U.S. exposure. The VEU ETF offers broad exposure to international equities, has a low expense ratio, and provides a higher dividend yield.
The US stock market now comprises a record 64% of the global equity allocation. Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund ETF Shares offers attractive valuation and diversification along with a dividend yield more than two times that of the S&P 500. Technically, VEU faces resistance at $57 and is rangebound, but a breakout could lead to a sharp gain.
US equity markets are showing mixed signals for the coming 12 months, suggesting potential for allocating to ex-US instruments. The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund ETF Shares is a possible option on the tactical side for short-term investors. The fund has a tight tracking error to its benchmarks, but mid- to long-term performance relative to its U.S. counterparts is still uncertain.
The stock market has seen strong returns year-to-date, led by US equities. The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund ETF Shares provides global equities exposure excluding the US names. VEU has underperformed its peers and has a bad track record over recent years.
Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF invests in large-cap stocks globally. The fund has a weaker growth prospect than the S&P 500 Index.
In 2023, most of the market's interesting opportunities are in dividend-paying sectors. Tightening has a negative effect on the value of high growth opportunities.
Almost 60 percent of VEU's AUM is invested in four sectors - ICT, financial, industrial, and healthcare. The fund generates decent yield and total returns. The strong US dollar, high sustained interest rate by the Fed, and slowing global economic growth are expected to weaken growth in equities in the short run.
The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF invests based on the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index and holds about 7,900 stocks. The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US ETF invests based on the FTSE All-World ex US Index and holds about 3700 stocks.
