In 2024, the Vanguard Financials Index Fund ETF Shares did better than major indices, and I still recommend buying it because of the strong fundamentals in the sector and positive economic growth expectations. The financial sector is likely to see more growth in 2025, supported by interest rate cuts, economic expansion, and lower credit risk. VFH provides a diverse investment across various financial industries, including large, mid, and small companies, with leading investments in firms like Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan.

In 2024, the Financials sector is doing very well, thanks to positive expectations for more mergers and acquisitions, good regulations, and strong valuations. I recommend holding VFH because it has a reasonable valuation and positive technical indicators, even though there may be some seasonal weaknesses and volatility in the first quarter. VFH has seen impressive growth, with its assets under management increasing to $13 billion and a low expense ratio of just 10 basis points.
