2026-03-12 18:22:00 ET
Buying international stocks is top of mind for many investors, as the rest of the world's stocks have often outperformed the S&P 500 index for the past year. But what's the best way to buy international stocks ?
Two low-cost Vanguard international stock ETFs offer slightly different approaches to owning a diversified portfolio beyond America. The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ: VXUS) has gained about 25% in the past year, outperforming the S&P 500. And the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ: VYMI) has done even better, gaining about 28% in the past year and outperforming the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index.
