The Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF, which owns large-cap U.S. growth stocks, is the best-performing Vanguard ETF since its inception. I suspect the fund will continue its winning ways over the next decade and beyond, especially with several of its top holdings poised to benefit from increased adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) and Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI) offer strong yields, diversification, and long-term growth potential for income-focused investors.

Vanguard exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a fantastic choice for retired investors looking to play the long game with their portfolios. Undoubtedly, Vanguard is a name that passive investors can put their trust in.
