VEA: A High-Conviction Case For Global Diversification Beyond U.S. Borders

  • VEA is essential for long-term, cost-efficient diversification, offering exposure to non-U.S. developed markets with minimal overlap and ultra-low fees. Blending VEA with U.S. equities smooths returns, reduces risk, and captures leadership rotations that single-region portfolios miss. VEA's broad sector and geographic diversification, low concentration, and Vanguard's scale make it structurally superior to international ETF peers.
