5 Best Vanguard ETFs to Buy and Hold Forever

In this video, we'll go over the 5 best Vanguard ETFs to invest in. These are the top index funds from Vanguard that you can buy and hold forever to help you reach Financial Independence sooner. 100% of my investment portfolio is loaded up with ETF index funds just like these because they're simple, reliable, and can easily double, triple, or even quadruple in price if you hold them for long periods of time.

I always suggest buying and holding these ETFs for as long as possible because the stock market is very volatile in the short term. If any of these investments happen to underperform in the short term then don't automatically sell off your positions. Patience is the most important part of investing.

Thank you for this. I just made my first ETF purchase into VTI a few days ago. Got 2 shares but its a start lol

[tomaskey]

Just bought $125 VTI and $200 VOO. Not much but I am very happy. It took me a long time to make this happen. Will be setting up small monthly automatic investments and make other purchases as I can.

Thanks Jarrad, you've done a brilliant job in breaking down the pros and cons of each portfolio.

[PierceJPeterson]

Vanguard has some of the best ETFs in the game. Great video Jarrad!

I started investing a year ago. I started with their dividen etfs. When I started getting paid every month just for ownership I got hooked

[Sporkula]

Hey Jarrad, love the vids. Can you start putting all the stocks mentioned in the video in the description as well? Or at least divide the video into clear chapters? I've watched this video 3 or 4 times trying to remember the stocks, and every time I forget I have to watch through the whole video again. I guess it helps your view time though lol. Either way thanks!

i retired from the post office in 2009, my tsp (5 index funds you could place your retirement dollars in - mine was 40% in the small company fund, 40% in large company fund and the rest in bonds) was down over 40%. These funds are all very lowcost.

Having learned the hard way I knew as long as I did nothing I would get that money back in spades. Over the next decade I ended up with huge gains over what i had before the 2008 swoon and that proves you don't lose until you sell, you just have to have the discipline to wait the market out.

Betting 90% on ONE country over the next 30-40 years seems crazy to me, especially one that outperformed mainly off the overvalued tech sector.

Good video! ETF VTI is very reliable for any long-term portfolio.

[Rwinnett]

Just started my account last week and then found your channel today. Will definitely be researching more. Thank you for the info!

[nightwingx]

Good to see you post another video! I find your break downs incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing with the community!

[fadisalem]

I personally own VYM and VUG. I feel pretty darn good about those

[LietSayri]

You make this topic so much easier to understand. thank you so much for this video!

[corvettew.s.]

Love your advice! I love Vanguard! I don't hold all of what you recommend but a good portion of them! Thank You I plan to keep following.

[tuffwitheffs]

I love how this came out Jan 5 and the Fed came along immediately after and announces they are raising rates

[nescafeshorts]

You've covered everything I have and now I understand their performance.

Greatly appreciated video's Jarrad Morrow! Really like your overviews and watched at lot of them already. However, I live in the the Netherlands and it is hard to find these or similar ETFs that are traded on EU stockmarkets. Perhaps you could provide at the end of your video's also a short list of EU alternatives to make also that part of your audience even more happy?

[OlegLozytskyi]

Thank you for the idea Jarrad! Great video and awesome execution. Looking forward to seeing more!

VT is 37% international because it is market weighted. The market is what has decided 37% is appropriate. I do not believe I know more than the market and (all due respect) I don’t believe you know more than the entire market, either.

If one believes in the efficient market theory, one should be comfortable with VT’s weighting. If you are not a believer in an efficient market, that is your prerogative and I wish you luck.
