Building a Long-Term Portfolio: 3 Vanguard ETFs to Consider
These funds will help you build a portfolio that will make you money with almost zero upkeep.
Being a long-term investor is awesome, partly because you have so much control over the process. You can make investing as simple or complicated as you would like, though I recommend a simple approach for most people. That means diversifying your investments and letting time and the market do the heavy lifting for your portfolio.
There's no better way to do that than exchange-traded funds (ETFs), buckets of individual stocks that trade under a single ticker symbol. You can build a diverse portfolio with just a small handful of ETFs, and Vanguard might be the best name in the ETF game.
Investors can trust Vanguard, which has been around for decades. Plus, the fundholders, those who invest in Vanguard's investment products, own the company, so there's no conflict of interest.
