VXUS: A Mix Of Hot Valuations, And High Dividends To Diversify A Portfolio
The Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF (VXUS) offers a 2.77% trailing dividend yield, trades at a 35% forward P/E discount to the S&P 500, and provides broad exposure to developed and emerging market equities. Favorable valuations, earnings growth of 14.3%, and potential tailwinds from fiscal expansion in Europe and Japan support a positive medium-term outlook. While risks such as inflation and monetary tightening exist, they are viewed as temporary. VXUS serves as a diversifying complement to U.S.-centric portfolios despite underperforming in the past decade.

- ▪VXUS trades at a 35% valuation discount to the S&P 500, with an expected EPS growth rate of 14.3%.
