Investor names three Vanguard ETFs to consider for a $5,000 investment
An investor has named three Vanguard exchange-traded funds they would consider for a $5,000 investment.
The funds are traded in Australia and offer different ways to invest in shares.
VGE focuses on emerging markets, while VTEK invests in technology companies across developed and emerging markets.
VDAL spreads investments across more than 6,000 stocks in over 50 markets and puts all its money in shares.
The investor says these funds could suit people seeking long-term growth, but warns that emerging-market, technology and share-market investments can be volatile.
VDAL has no bond allocation to help soften market falls, so investors need to be comfortable with ups and downs.
The investor says they would hold any of the funds for many years.
A Motley Fool AU commentary names three Vanguard ETFs as options for investors seeking long-term growth.
The selections are the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Shares ETF, Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF and Vanguard Diversified All Growth Index ETF.
The article says the funds offer exposure to emerging markets, technology stocks, or a broad global share portfolio.
It also notes risks including market volatility, technology-stock concentration and the all-share allocation of the diversified fund.
The author says they would be happy to invest $5,000 in any of the three funds.
