VEA At New Highs, But With A Higher Risk Premium Than In The U.S.
The Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) is currently at new highs, reflecting its broad exposure to developed markets outside the U.S. Despite its low expense ratio and substantial assets under management, VEA carries a higher risk premium compared to U.S. ETFs. The fund's financials and geographic focus suggest potential benefits from rising interest rates, although concerns about stagflation remain.
- ▪VEA has a total expense ratio of 0.03% and $304 billion in assets under management.
- ▪The ETF trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 17.7x and offers a 3.1% dividend yield.
- ▪Financials make up 24% of VEA's holdings, with significant exposure to Europe and Japan.
