The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Small-Cap Index ETF (VSS) has delivered a strong performance, returning over 44% year-over-year and outperforming the US-focused VTI by 7 percentage points. This outperformance is supported by VSS's attractive valuation with a low price-to-earnings ratio of 12.8, solid earnings growth of 9.24%, and a PEG ratio under 1.3. The ETF offers broad exposure to international small-cap stocks, a 3% dividend yield, and sector diversification led by Industrials and Materials. Technical indicators remain positive, with shares at record highs, a rising 200-day moving average, and favorable seasonal trends from April to July. Despite a relatively stable US dollar over the past year, international stocks continue to show strong momentum, making VSS a compelling buy for investors seeking global small-cap exposure.
