2 Top Vanguard ETFs to Buy With $500 Right Now
There are dozens of excellent Vanguard ETFs to choose from with low expenses. The Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF looks especially attractive right now. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF could be a big winner as rates come down. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF › Vanguard is known for its low-cost ETFs, and for very good reasons. Decades ago, Vanguard pioneered the concept of a low-cost index fund, and the company now offers dozens of mutual funds and ETFs with expense ratios far below the overall ETF industry average. If you're building a portfolio of Vanguard ETFs, a few are excellent choices no matter what the stock market and economy are doing. For example, I'd argue that it's never a bad time to buy the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO). However, there are some that look particularly attractive right now, and here are two you might want to consider if you have $500 to add to your Vanguard ETF portfolio. It's a smart idea for all index fund investors to have some small-cap exposure, and now could be an excellent opportunity to get it. I've been adding the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (NASDAQ: VTWO) to my portfolio gradually over the past year or so, and think it looks more attractive than ever right now. At the beginning of 2024, small-cap stocks were trading for their lowest valuations relative to large caps since the late 1990s. And since that time, the gap has widened even further. Consider this: The typical S&P 500 stock trades for 4.5 times book value and for a P/E ratio of 24.6. The Russell 2000 has a price-to-book multiple of just 1.7 and trades for less than 16 times earnings. I don't necessarily think the valuation gap will close entirely. But there's a solid case to be made that we're at an inflection point, shifting from an environment that has been strong for large-cap companies, such as lots of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation and strong consumer, to one that favors small caps -- falling interest rates, increased investor appetite for speculation. Small-cap stocks tend to be more volatile over time, but they also tend to produce long-term returns on par with (or greater than) that of the S&P 500. And right now could be an excellent entry point. The real estate sector has underperformed the S&P 500 for the past several years, and the main reason why is interest rates. Real estate investment trusts, or REITs, perform best in a low-rate or falling-rate environment, and we've seen the exact opposite over the past three years. But opportunistic investors may want to take a closer look at the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEMKT: VNQ) while it's still cheap. There are a few reasons why real estate tends to outperform when rates fall. First, real estate companies tend to rely on borrowed money to grow (just like you might use a mortgage when buying a home), and falling rates make borrowing cheaper. Second, falling rates tend to cause yield-focused investments to rise, as yield and price have an inverse relationship. And perhaps most importantly, falling rates make commercial properties more valuable, all other factors being equal. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF tracks an index of REITs, so it can be a great way to invest in the sector without too much reliance on any single stock. As REITs tend to have above-average dividends, the ETF currently has a 4.1% yield, making it a solid choice for both growth and income-seeking investors. As a final thought, I own both ETFs as long-term investments, and caution others to approach them in the same way. I have absolutely no idea what either ETF (or the stock market in general) will do over the coming weeks or months, but I'm quite confident that I'll be happy I own these two when looking back in five to 10 years.

Building a Passive Income Stream: 3 Top Dividend ETFs for Long-Term Returns
There are dozens of excellent low-cost index funds that pay dividends and could be great choices for long-term investors. However, a few stand out as particularly good combinations of income, long-term total return potential, and truly passive set-it-and-forget-it qualities. Most of my favorite income ETFs are Vanguard products, and it's easy to see why. Vanguard ETFs have some of the lowest expenses in the industry, and there are dozens of excellent index funds to choose from, in both mutual fund and ETF forms. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » With that in mind, here are three Vanguard ETFs that could help you create a passive income stream for decades to come in your portfolio. Not the highest-paying ETF, but... At first glance, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEMKT: VIG), with a 1.8% yield, might not sound like a great choice. But there are a few things to keep in mind. First, this is an index fund that focuses on stocks that are most likely to grow their dividends over time. So, if you want to create a passive income stream but are still a decade or more from retirement, this ETF is likely to produce a significantly higher amount of income in the future. Second, because it isn't too focused on the highest-yielding stocks, the portfolio of the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is a bit more growth-oriented than your traditional income ETF. In fact, the technology sector is its highest concentration, with top holdings that include Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The proof is in the performance. Over the past decade, this ETF has generated 11.2% annualized total returns, and with a rock-bottom 0.05% expense ratio, you'll get to keep most of the fund's gains. International exposure at a discount One of the ETFs I've been buying rather aggressively in my own portfolio is the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ: VYMI). As the name suggests, this tracks an index of non-U.S. companies that pay above average dividend yields. As of the latest information, the fund owns 1,560 different stocks and has a 4.2% dividend yield. Not only can international stock exposure help diversify your portfolio and help offset U.S.-specific risk factors (like the trade tensions), but international stocks in general look cheap right now. For example, the average stock in the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF trades for just 11.6 times earnings, compared with a P/E of 18.2 for stocks in the U.S. focused counterpart ETF, the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEMKT: VYM). It's also worth noting that although these are international stocks, that doesn't mean its full of companies you've never heard of. In fact, top holdings include household names such as Toyota (NYSE: TM), Shell (NYSE: SHEL), and Unilever (NYSE: UL). A great ETF for a falling-rate environment Although there are questions surrounding how soon and how aggressively the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates, the overwhelming consensus is that the direction of interest rates over the next couple of years is going to be downward. Real estate is perhaps the most rate-sensitive part of the stock market. When rates are lower, real estate investment trusts can borrow money in a more cost-effective way, and commercial property values tend to rise, as yield plays a major role in their valuation. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEMKT: VNQ) has underperformed the market for several years, but this is mainly due to the interest rate environment and not because there is anything fundamentally wrong with the stocks it owns. While there's still tremendous uncertainty about where interest rates are heading in the short term, it could be a smart time for long-term investors to take a closer look at this ETF. A great combination of income, return potential, and peace of mind These certainly aren't the only three income ETFs I'm a fan of. There are some that take more active investment approaches on my radar, such as the options-focused JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: JEPQ). However, as far as creating a truly passive income stream that you can simply set-and-forget goes, these three Vanguard Income ETFs could be excellent additions to your portfolio.
