Vanguard All-World ex-U.S. Shares Index ETF (ASX: VEU)

The Vanguard All-World ex-U.S. Shares Index ETF could be a top option for investors that already have exposure to US markets.

That's because the VEU ETF gives you access to approximately 3,500 companies listed in developed and emerging markets across the globe, excluding the United States.

The fund manager, Vanguard, highlights that this means Australian investors can expand their portfolio to include many sectors not well represented in Australia.

Among the ETF's holdings you'll find a diverse group of shares such as Royal Bank of Canada, HSBC Holdings, Samsung, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Taiwan Semiconductor, Tencent, and Astra Zeneca.

Vanguard U.S. Total Market Shares Index ETF (ASX: VTS)

If you don't already have exposure to the United States, then the Vanguard Australian US Total Market Shares Index ETF could be a good option.

This low-cost and diversified ETF provides investors with exposure to some of the largest companies listed in the United States. Vanguard highlights that this allows investors to benefit from the long-term growth potential of US listed companies.

Many of the companies included in the fund need no introduction. This includes the likes of Apple, Amazon, Boeing, Costco, JP Morgan, McDonalds, Microsoft, Starbucks, and Walmart.
