VEU Stock Recent News

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.

VEU invests in a diverse portfolio of foreign equities. Given the recent pullback, many investors are questioning if VEU is a good buy at these prices. Personally, I believe that foreign markets are facing an unfavorable economic backdrop, making the risk-reward tradeoff unappealing to potential buyers.

Vanguard's popular ex-U.S. equity ETF, VEU, has pulled back nearly 30% off its mid-2021 peak. A surging dollar and a return to growth vs value have led to some weak recent relative returns.
