5 Best ETF to Buy and Hold Forever
Added 2023-08-13 12:51:28 +0000 UTCHaving a significant allocation to established ETFs is going to save the ass of a lot of retail investors over the next decade. Getting into an ETF like the VOO for example, automatically will add diversification and stability to your portfolio. Here are 5 ETFs that offer long-term potential with total market exposure, without gambling and doing something silly like going all in on some stock your buddy told you is going to be the next Apple.
Memorize this list, it will save your ass if bad times come around and if you stick to it for a decade plus, it will take care of you very nicely.
1. Vanguard 500 Index Fund (VOO) - tracks the S&P500 Index.
2. Invesco QQQ (QQQ) - tracks the NASDAQ 100 Index.
3. Vanguard Information Technology (VGT) - tracks MSCI US Information Technology Index
4. Schwab US Dividend Equity (SCHD) - tracks blue chip dividend paying companies.
5. VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) - tracks semiconductor companies.

Why not take SPY or something similar and a EuroStoxx 600 ETF and in whatever weight you like and automatically be diversified with more than 1000 stocks and reduce some geopolitical risk?
