Vanguard new ex-China ETF followed push from Missouri Republicans
June 3 (Reuters) - Investment manager Vanguard's new exchange-traded fund targeting emerging markets outside of China appears to have followed a push from the Missouri State Treasurer's office for products excluding Chinese stocks. The product highlights a new front in the decoupling of economic links between the U.S. and China as a result of the trade war U.S. President Donald Trump has begun between the world's two largest economies. Vanguard filed on May 30 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch the Vanguard Emerging Markets Ex-China ETF. Vivek Malek, Missouri's Treasurer, told Reuters the announcement came six weeks after a series of requests and meetings with Vanguard, a claim backed by letters and e-mails reviewed by Reuters. Malek successfully pushed for the state's pension fund to divest from publicly traded Chinese stocks in December 2023 and also pressed for a China-free fund option for the state's $4.5 billion 529 educational savings plan in an April 14 letter to the plan's program manager working with Vanguard. "I believe we moved the needle in the direction that helped them reach this decision," Malek said. Vanguard did not directly comment on Malek's statements, citing quiet period restrictions on discussing fund products still under SEC review. A Vanguard spokesman said the firm's goal is to offer investors of all kinds of lower-cost options. Had Vanguard not filed for its ex-China ETF when it did, the firm risked losing its position as the main provider of investment products in the state's 529 plan, Malek said. Next year, Missouri will be reconsidering which asset managers will be entrusted with those savings, and one of the conditions any firm must meet will be offering a fund that excludes Chinese stocks, Malek said. Ex-China ETFs have been launched with growing frequency within the last three years, according to Morningstar, and Vanguard's ETF would bring the total to 13, four of which debuted in 2024. Like other Republicans, Malek has been a critic of investments in China and made removing them from state investment portfolios a political objective. In his April 14 letter, Malek pointed to economic, legal and geopolitical risks associated with Chinese stocks, adding these are "real, accelerating and incompatible with long-term fiduciary responsibility". Malek's staff met with Vanguard executives in early May, according to e-mails reviewed by Reuters, ahead of a May 21 meeting of the board of trustees for the Missouri college savings plan, the agenda for which included discussion of other investment options excluding China. On May 30, Vanguard advised the Missouri Treasurer's office that it would be launching the ex-China ETF. At nearly the same time as the e-mail was sent, it filed with the SEC. "Typically, the product development cycle is a matter of months, not weeks, so it's quite possible that Vanguard had already been looking at this as an area to explore," said Bryan Armour, an ETF analyst at Morningstar. Malek said he sees the new ETF as an example of effective collaboration between conservative state treasurers and asset managers. Since Vanguard has responded favorably to his request, Malek plans to make sure the new ETF is a success, pointing out that he has influence with the 120 or so other smaller pension funds across Missouri. "I'll be using my bully pulpit to encourage those pension funds to utilize this particular ETF from Vanguard," he said.

1 Magnificent Vanguard ETF to Confidently Buy With $600 During the Stock Market Rebound
The S&P 500 is on the road to recovery after plunging by as much as 19% from its all-time high in April. Information technology is the dominant sector in the S&P 500, and it's home to trillion-dollar giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF can help investors gain broad exposure to powerful trends like artificial intelligence (AI). 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard Information Technology ETF › The S&P 500 was down by as much as 19% from its all-time high after President Trump announced his "Liberation Day" tariffs on April 2. But it erased those losses since then because several countries have come to the table to negotiate new trade deals and the federal Court of International Trade ruled many of the tariffs were illegal, lowering the odds of an economic downturn. The S&P 500 is the most diversified of the major U.S. stock market indexes, hosting 500 companies from 11 sectors of the economy. But information technology is the largest sector in the index by far, representing 31.7% of its total market capitalization (value). It's home to the world's three largest companies: Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple, which are worth a combined $9.85 trillion. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests exclusively in information technology stocks. It outperformed the S&P 500 every year, on average, since it was established in 2004, on the back of powerful technological trends like cloud computing, enterprise software, and now artificial intelligence (AI). Investors can buy one share in the Vanguard Information Technology ETF for around $600, and here's why it might be a good move as the broader market continues to recover. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF invests across the entire information technology sector, whether companies are in the S&P 500 or not. As a result, it currently holds 307 stocks spread across 12 subsegments of the sector. The semiconductor segment has the largest weighting in the ETF at 26.8%, followed by systems software at 21% and technology hardware and storage at 18.8%. Companies like Nvidia and Broadcom are the main reason the semiconductor segment has such a dominant representation. Both companies are leading suppliers of data center chips and components specifically designed for AI development, and they are experiencing more demand than they can possibly meet right now. As a result, Nvidia stock soared 1,490% over the last five years, catapulting the company to a $3.45 trillion valuation. Broadcom stock is up 726% over the same period, and the company is now worth $1.1 trillion. But Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, and Apple aren't the only leading AI stocks in the Vanguard ETF. It holds dozens of others that typically receive less attention but are of very high quality, and here are just a few of them: Stock Vanguard ETF Portfolio Weighting Salesforce 1.75% Palantir Technologies 1.73% Oracle 1.59% ServiceNow 1.36% Adobe 1.14% Advanced Micro Devices 1.09% Palo Alto Networks 0.87% CrowdStrike 0.75% Micron Technology 0.61% Snowflake 0.38% Data source: Vanguard. Portfolio weightings are accurate as of April 30, 2025, and are subject to change. Salesforce developed the world's most popular customer relationship management (CRM) platform, where businesses can store client data and track sales. But it has a growing portfolio of AI products like Einstein, a powerful virtual assistant that can write sales emails, instantly summarize phone calls with customers, and produce data-driven insights to help employees drive more revenue. Palantir developed a series of AI-powered software platforms like Foundry, Gotham, and AIP, which help businesses and governments extract more value from their data. Then there is Oracle, which is building some of the most advanced and cost-efficient data centers in the world for developing AI models. Advanced Micro Devices launched a series of graphics processing units (GPUs) for the data center to compete with Nvidia, and it's having quite a bit of success. Micron, on the other hand, makes memory and storage chips, which are increasingly important for processing AI workloads. In fact, Micron's high-bandwidth memory can be found in Nvidia's most powerful GPUs. Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike are two of the world's biggest cybersecurity companies, and AI is central to almost all of their products. It enables their respective platforms to automate tasks like threat detection and incident response, which reduces the workload on human cybersecurity managers and ensures fewer threats slip through the cracks. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF delivered a compound annual return of 12.8% since it was established in 2004, so it has heavily outperformed the S&P 500, which has returned 9.6% per year, on average, over the same period. That 3.2 percentage point difference might not sound like much at face value, but over a long-term period of 22 years, it would result in double the return in dollar terms thanks to the effects of compounding. I'm not suggesting investors should put all of their eggs in one basket, because the technology sector can be very volatile. However, young investors who can afford to take some risk might benefit from a larger allocation to this high-growth segment of the market, especially as megatrends like AI unfold. An investor who placed $50,000 in the S&P 500 in 2004 would be sitting on $342,761 today. But had they split that $50,000 equally and placed $25,000 in the S&P 500 and $25,000 in the Vanguard Information Technology ETF, they would have $485,019 today. That's a life-changing difference in potential returns over the long run. There is a risk that AI fails to live up to the hype, which would dent the valuations of many of the companies in the information technology sector. However, several companies are successfully monetizing AI in its current state already, and its capabilities are only expected to improve from here. As a result, the Vanguard Information Technology ETF might be a great buy right now for long-term investors.

Is the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF Your Ticket to Mega Returns?
The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: MGK) does exactly what its name implies: It buys the largest growth companies. That's been a winning investment plan for a number of years, but investors need to consider the portfolio of this exchange-traded fund (ETF) a bit more deeply before making a new commitment today. Here's why the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF could be a problem for your portfolio if you don't understand what it is you are buying. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » What does the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF do? The Vanguard Mega Cap ETF tracks the CRSP US Mega Cap Growth Index. Some complex math goes into the index, but the outcomes are pretty simple to understand. It uses market caps to determine what stocks count as megacaps. It factors in earnings growth, return on assets, and the investment-to-assets ratio to assign companies to the growth category. The companies that are found in both groups get into the ETF. This isn't a good or bad approach, per se. What it does is put investors into the stocks that are likely to be the most popular during market upturns. That can feel pretty good in a bull market. However, there's a problem to consider because buying the largest, most popular companies is also likely to lead investors to be overweight in a small number of stocks. For example, just three stocks make up more than a third of this Vanguard ETF's portfolio today. All three fall into the technology sector. They are names you likely know: Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). But that's not the end of the story, because technology as a sector makes up a huge 60% of the ETF's assets right now. When the market turns lower, the largest and most popular stocks and sectors are likely to lead the way down. Which means that bear markets and corrections are likely to be particularly painful if you own the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF. What has happened in 2025? Which is why it is interesting to consider 2025 as a stress test. Comparing the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF to the broader S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and an equal-weighted version of the S&P 500 index, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSEMKT: RSP), is illuminating. MGK Total Return Level data by YCharts. Notice that the Vanguard ETF fell furthest during this turbulent period. The more diversified S&P 500 index, which itself leans toward large caps and is market-cap weighted, fell in the middle, performance wise. And the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF, which gives each stock in the S&P 500 index the same weighting (meaning that each company has the same opportunity to affect performance), was the best performer. In this period, giving the largest, and likely recently best-performing, companies an overweight status turned into a liability. To be fair, if you look over a longer period of time, the Vanguard ETF is the clear winner. And it rebalances quarterly, so it is fairly quick to change when the market leaders shift. But investors shouldn't go in without understanding the risk that focusing on the biggest and the best can lead to worse drawdowns when the market shifts from a bull to a bear. MGK Total Return Level data by YCharts. There are two big takeaways here There's nothing wrong with buying the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF as long as you understand what it is you own. History suggests that you will do particularly well in good markets. Most investors will see that as a win. That said, you need to go in knowing that downturns could be particularly difficult times for this ETF. And you'll either need to grit your teeth and hold for the long term or, perhaps better, pair the Vanguard Mega Cap ETF with another investment that will perform better during downturns. That way, you have something else to look at besides the red ink the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF is putting up.

1 Brilliant Vanguard Index Fund to Buy Before It Soars Nearly 160%, According to a Wall Street Analyst
The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is considered the single best gauge for the overall U.S. stock market. The index is down about 1% year to date, and Wall Street analysts expect little change in the remaining months of 2025. However, Tom Lee at Fundstrat Global Advisors predicts the S&P 500 will reach 15,000 by 2030. That implies 158% upside from its current level of 5,800. Investors can position their portfolios to capture those potential gains by owning shares of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO). Read on to learn more. Image source: Getty Images. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF provides exposure to hundreds of influential stocks The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF tracks the performance of 500 large U.S. companies. It includes stocks from every market sector, but is most heavily weighted toward technology. The index fund covers about 80% of domestic equities and 50% of global equities by market value, providing exposure to many of the most influential stocks in the world. These are the top 10 positions in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF listed by weight: Apple: 6.7% Microsoft: 6.2% Nvidia: 5.6% Amazon: 3.6% Alphabet: 3.5% Meta Platforms: 2.5% Berkshire Hathaway: 2.1% Broadcom: 1.9% Tesla: 1.6% Eli Lilly: 1.5% The S&P 500 advanced 173% in the last decade, compounding at 10.5% annually. If dividends are included, the index achieved a total return of 226% over the same period, increasing at 12.5% annually. At that pace, $500 invested monthly during the last 10 years would now be worth more than $105,000. Importantly, while the U.S. economy suffered three recessions over the last 30 years, the S&P 500 generated a positive return over every rolling 11-year period during that time. Put differently, any investor that bought an S&P 500 index fund in the last three decades made a profit so long as they held the fund for at least 11 years. Why Fundstrat analyst Tom Lee thinks the S&P 500 is headed to 15,000 by 2030 Tom Lee is the head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. He manages the Fundstrat Granny Shots U.S. Large Cap ETF, an exchange-traded fund that holds about three dozen U.S. stocks worth at least $10 billion. Lee selects stocks by identifying market themes and applying quantitative models to companies that meet the inclusion criteria. The Granny Shots ETF has beat the S&P 500 by 4 percentage points since its inception. Lee during an interview with Bloomberg last year made his case for why the S&P 500 could hit 15,000 by the end of the decade. First, millennials are the largest living generation and they are reshaping the economy as the enter their peak earnings years. In addition, they are set to inherit a whopping $80 trillion, the largest generational wealth transfer in history. Second, the global labor shortage is estimated to be 80 million workers by 2030. That should create demand for artificial intelligence (AI) as a means of boosting productivity and automating workflows. Consequently, Lee anticipates a parabolic move in the technology sector, which currently accounts for 30% of the S&P 500. "Between 1948 and 1967 there was a global labor shortage and technology stocks went parabolic," Lee says. "And between 1991 and 1999 there was global labor shortage and technology stocks went parabolic. So this is what's happening today." Here is the bottom line: Whether Lee is correct or not in predicting the S&P 500 will reach 15,000 by 2030, the index has consistently created wealth over long holding periods. That makes an S&P 500 index fund a smart choice for patient investors. And the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is a particularly brilliant option because it has a cheap expense ratio of 0.03%. The average expense ratio on similar funds from other issuers is 0.75%, according to Vanguard. Should you invest $1,000 in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF right now?
