Why I Am Never Selling This Broad Market ETF
2026-02-06 11:50:00 ET
Broad market exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are some of the best investments to build a portfolio around. In some cases, they hold thousands of different stocks and come with razor-thin expense ratios. That makes them perfect for long-term capital growth.
The one ETF that I hold for just this purpose is the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI) . For my money (literally), there is no better buy-and-hold fund in the market.
Many people use the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF or the SPDR S&P 500 ETF as the center of their portfolios. There's certainly nothing wrong with that since these S&P 500 funds include many of the biggest and best companies in the world.
