U.S. Stocks Have Dominated for 15 Years. This Vanguard ETF Could Be the Better Bet for the Next 10. | The Motley Fool

Summary

U.S. stocks have historically outperformed, but the landscape may be shifting. The Vanguard Total International Stock ETF, trading at a lower valuation than the S&P 500, could present better investment opportunities over the next decade. Vanguard projects modestly higher returns for international stocks (4.5%-6.5%) compared to U.S. stocks (4.2%-6.2%). High-income professionals should consider diversifying into international equities to capitalize on this potential shift.
