Well VT has always tanked during moments of crises correct?

It's not a risk free asset like many of you think. As an example, look at its Top10 holding

Do you have in your Roth, taxable or 401k?

SMH, QTUM

Sounds like OP wants more risk than VT given that he is asking for emerging markets. I don't have an answer, but SCHD is definitely not it.

Well VT can be risky in that equity can all be correlated in crashes (see 2008). If you are concerned about risk during a crash, find a non correlated asset like PMs or Treasuries.

This is a good Boglehead question.

VTI, plus I have some REITS in my retirement account, but they've done relatively poorly lately. I should just stick with VTI.

Uuuuuuuuh. Can someone give me some good ones? Not some ones everyone already knows about.

Like EMEQ and FRDM. Anyone know any great emerging market ETFs? Or just anything that isn’t super obvious?????

That's just my 2cents

VT is risky? lol wut?

KORU is risky. Fking ETHD is risky. VT is some sht you could throw $1000 in now and have $10,000 in 10 years without sweating.

How is VT risky?! The only risky thing about is opportunity cost if the U.S. outperforms.

I have VT, VTI/VXUS, IAUM annd thematics.

Stuff like ^ FRDM, FMTM, EWY, ^, FLKR and others? Emerging markets and momentum funds and things?
