Vanguardftse250 Share Price (VMID)

I hope to retire in 4 years so I'm gradually moving everything to here...agree it looks undervalued

This is an excellent ETF to have exposure to the FTSE 250. Only my opinion, but I think the FTSE 250 will outperform the S&P 500 over the next 10 years. The S&P 500 is dangerously hot right now with a large chunk of its market cap concentrated in just 6-7 stocks. Even though the S&P 500 has a much bigger aggregate market cap than the FTSE 250, I would actually argue that it is currently more high risk.

Investors talk about how disappinting the performance of the FTSE has been over the last 20-25 years. Firstly, they are refering to the FTSE 100 index. It is true this index hasn't been punching above it's weight during this time period. However, its a different story for the FTSE250. Over the last 25 years the index has more than tripled in value.

I also think from a sentiment point of view the UK has almost hit rock bottom and there is every chance that this could all change at some point in the coming years.

This Vanguard 250 ETF has low fees (0.10% charge) and pays a 3.42% dividend paid quarterly.

Blimey, this is a quiet board... think I've just seen tumbleweed blow past! Anyone out there remotely interested in this ETF? Has it got legs in the near term do you think?

Quiet board. So 8 months later and VMID up 8% plus 2.5% divvies pa. Pretty good. Still think FTSE 250 undervalued so will keep holding as UK economy continues to improve. Will buy more on any dips.

Good hedge as UK comes out of Covid recession. Low cost ETF.
SP 33.7 Divvi received today.
