Analyst Recommends 3-ETF Portfolio as S&P 500 Nears Record Highs
3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 21
Summary
A three-ETF mix is pitched for investors worried about a market crash, with the advice centered on shifting defensively rather than moving fully into cash.
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF is framed as the core holding because timing a selloff is difficult and abandoning broad U.S. equities can hurt long-term returns.
Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF adds the defensive tilt by emphasizing companies with long dividend-growth records, stronger cash flows and resilience across economic conditions.
The call comes as the S&P 500 hovers near records despite historically high valuations and worries over inflation, interest rates, geopolitical risks and a mixed labor market.
