The Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF (VXUS) uses an indexing strategy to replicate the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index, a float-adjusted, market-cap-weighted benchmark that captures equity performance across developed and emerging markets outside the United States. The fund holds virtually all stocks in the index, providing broad exposure to non-U.S. equities.
As of the latest quarter, VXUS reports an expense ratio of 0.07%, total assets of roughly $120 billion, and a 30-day SEC yield of 2.3%. Its top sector allocations are Financials (23%), Technology (18%) and Consumer Discretionary (15%). Recent drivers include higher earnings growth in Asian markets and a rebound in European financial services, while a strengthening U.S. dollar continues to pressure net foreign returns.
