VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
If you're interested in buy and holding investing, then the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF could be the one for you.
This ETF has been a great place to invest over the last decade. Even after accounting for recent volatility, the index it tracks has generated an average annual return of 19.1% since 2013.
This strong performance has been underpinned by its focus on fairly priced US companies with sustainable competitive advantages. These are qualities that Warren Buffett looks for when he invests. And given his track record, it's hard to dispute that this investment strategy works.
The fund changes its constituents periodically and removes stocks when they become overvalued. But there are usually approximately 50 shares in the fund at any given time. At present, this includes Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Walt Disney.
Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (ASX: VHY)
Investors that are more interested in generating income from their investments might want to consider the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF.
That's because this ETF provides investors with exposure to a diverse group of ASX listed shares that have higher forecast dividends relative to the rest of the market.
At present, the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF is trading with an estimated forward dividend yield of 5.3%. This would mean that a $10,000 investment provides $530 of passive income.
There are many dividend-paying blue chip ASX shares held by the ETF. This includes BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Telstra Corporation Ltd (ASX: TLS), and Woodside Energy Group Ltd (ASX: WDS).
