🔎 The World Hits All Time Highs

The news cycle has taken a pessimistic turn in recent weeks, and in many ways, that’s justified.

Tensions in the Middle East are escalating, with Israel launching targeted attacks in Iraq. While our hearts go out to those affected, it’s crucial that we don’t let geopolitical shocks derail us from our long-term investment objectives.

As always, we follow market leadership.

And in 2025, that leadership hasn’t come from the United States, it’s been concentrated in markets abroad. That’s not bearish. In fact, it points to expanding opportunities across the global economy.

One of the best ways to capture that breadth is through the Vanguard Total World Stock ETF ($VT), the single most diversified equity ETF in the world.

It’s currently sitting at all-time highs.

Here’s why $VT stands out:

• Holds 9,800 stocks
• Spans large-, mid-, and small-cap companies
• Invested across 40 countries
• Covers nearly the entire global investable equity market

If you want one-ticker exposure to global equities, $VT is hard to beat.

Even amid geopolitical uncertainty, it’s breaking to new highs.

Even in a world full of noise, the market continues to speak, and right now, it's speaking globally.
