The Vanguard FTSE Pacific Index Fund ETF Shares offers cost-efficient exposure to Asia-Pacific equities, but its heavy Japanese focus has hindered performance of late, with only 7% YTD returns. With 60% of this portfolio coming from Japan, it will be difficult for the VPL ETF to flourish, unless conditions in this region pick up. VPL's holdings offer decent earnings growth on par with global stocks, yet it can be picked up at a cheaper P/E multiple valuations look compelling.
The era of US dominance in the stock market is over, and diversification outside of the US is becoming more important. The Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF is a fund worth considering, as it aims to replicate the performance of the FTSE Developed Asia Pacific All Cap Index. VPL has a diversified portfolio with over 2,400 securities, primarily investing in growth-oriented sectors in Japan, Australia, and South Korea.
