It offers diversification across small-cap companies with a sector mix including industrials and financials, which may benefit from AI productivity boosts. The fund has a low expense ratio of 0.05%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIGI)<\/strong>: This ETF comprises 343 international stocks known for growing dividends annually. Although it has underperformed the S&amp;P 500 over its 10-year history and in the last five years, it may still benefit from the potential AI gains in developed markets. It has a low expense ratio of 0.07% and includes notable stocks like Royal Bank of Canada and Nestl\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Caution on Value Stocks<\/strong>: Although the Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF has shown good returns, historical data indicates value stocks often haven\u2019t produced market-beating results in the long term. Investors should consider this caution when assessing the potential of this and similar funds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Analytical Team&#8217;s Recommendations vs. Vanguard ETFs<\/strong>: According to The Motley Fool Stock Advisor&#8217;s analysts, Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF was not among their top 10 suggested stocks to buy, highlighting a divergence between Vanguard&#8217;s thesis and analyst-recommended stocks for potential high returns.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Investment Implications<\/strong>: Despite Vanguard\u2019s bullish outlooks on AI, investors should approach these funds with due diligence, considering their historical performance and the current market climate when determining if they fit into a future-oriented investment strategy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Research Says: The Biggest Gains of AI Won&#8217;t Go to AI Stocks.
