Comparing Global ETFs: Vanguard's VXUS vs. State Street's Climate-Focused NZAC
Vanguard's VXUS and State Street's NZAC offer different approaches to global investing. VXUS provides broad international exposure (excluding U.S.) with 8,600+ holdings, lower costs (0.05% expense ratio), and higher dividend yield (2.5%). NZAC focuses on climate-aligned companies globally with 628 holdings and a 0.12% expense ratio. Both delivered comparable 5-year returns, but VXUS is better for general international diversification while NZAC suits investors prioritizing climate-conscious investing.
1 Vanguard ETF Up 23% in 12 Months (Hint: It's Not VOO). Here's What History Says Investors Should Do.
The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS) has gained 23% over the past 12 months, outperforming the S&P 500 in the short term. However, over the past decade, the S&P 500 has significantly outperformed VXUS (319% vs 149% total return), largely due to the Magnificent Seven stocks. While international outperformance appears to be a temporary trend, the article suggests allocating 5-10% of a portfolio to VXUS for geographic diversification, citing concerns about U.S. market concentration, valuation, and federal debt.
