#4 - Vanguard Financials ETF (NYSEARCA:VFH)
The Vanguard Financials ETF (NYSEARCA: VFH) is one of the top financial ETFs to consider. The fund tracks the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Investable Market Financials Index, providing exposure to large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies.
But why single out financial stocks? Like bank stocks, financial ETFs don’t deliver market-beating returns, but they still offer higher returns than you can get from bonds or cash. And they tend to deliver returns that keep your portfolio ahead of inflation. That idea has played out in the last three years, with the fund delivering a total return of over 40%. This performance includes an annual dividend with a yield of 1.9%. VFH has a net expense ratio of 0.10%.
