Fund Details
Investment Thesis
VXUS is the definitive international equity fund, covering approximately 8,000 companies across 47 countries in both developed and emerging markets. When combined with VTI it creates a complete global equity portfolio at near-zero cost. VXUS automatically adjusts its country and regional weights as global market capitalizations evolve, providing permanent international diversification without active rebalancing decisions.
Who It's For
Long-term investors building a simple global portfolio alongside VTI as the standard two-fund equity solution. VXUS provides automatic diversification across developed Europe, Japan, emerging Asia, and Latin America in a single fund. Essential for investors who believe global diversification reduces long-term risk and want to avoid overconcentration in any single country's equity market.
