Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF

VPL tracks the FTSE Developed Asia Pacific Index, a market-cap-weighted index of securities in the developed markets of the Pacific region.

The fund tracks a market-cap-weighted index of securities in the developed markets of the Asia-Pacific region.

The Vanguard FTSE Pacific Index Fund ETF Shares offers cost-efficient exposure to Asia-Pacific equities, but its heavy Japanese focus has hindered performance of late, with only 7% YTD returns. With 60% of this portfolio coming from Japan, it will be difficult for the VPL ETF to flourish, unless conditions in this region pick up. VPL's holdings offer decent earnings growth on par with global stocks, yet it can be picked up at a cheaper P/E multiple valuations look compelling.

The total nominal GDP of the ten ASEAN nations measured in US dollar terms amounted to USD 3.6 trillion in 2022, more than doubling compared with total GDP of USD 1.6 trillion in 2009. Singapore's GDP growth rate improved to a pace of 2.8% y/y in the fourth quarter of 2023 according to the advance estimate of GDP from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

ASEAN Economic Outlook In 2024

The era of US dominance in the stock market is over, and diversification outside of the US is becoming more important. The Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF is a fund worth considering, as it aims to replicate the performance of the FTSE Developed Asia Pacific All Cap Index. VPL has a diversified portfolio with over 2,400 securities, primarily investing in growth-oriented sectors in Japan, Australia, and South Korea.

VPL: A Potential Outperformer Against The U.S.

The region is likely to see faster disinflation, but prospects for growth in coming years are dimming. Strong consumer spending has supported growth in Asia's three largest economies this year, but there are already signs that the region's recovery may be running out of steam.

My search for global yield takes me to Canada. Increased Canadian interest rates and strong oil and gas growth prospects paint a bullish outlook for the VDY ETF.

VDY: O Canada! How Your Dividends Tempt Me So!

Consistent with the general theme of searching for global yield outside of the U.S., I now share my outlook for the Pacific stock markets. With the Japanese manufacturing PMI currently in contraction, I am keeping my eye open for a rebound above 50 to confirm bullishness on Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF.

VPL: Pacific Equities May Be Bottoming Out

VPL's portfolio is highly diversified, invests significantly in sectors with high growth potential, has a low expense ratio, and is trading at a marginal discount. Though VPL's current yield is not excessively high, it seems to be sustainable and the fund generates a high enough overall return over the long term.

Non-China Asian exports are still growing, but the pace of increase has slowed and will slow still further as key export destinations struggle with inflation, energy security, and rising recession risks. In year-on-year terms, the rate of overall export growth is now skirting single-digits again.

A multifaced response, including increasing interest rates, is needed to prevent an upward spiral of price expectations and rising capital outflows. China, Asia's largest economy, saw a significant deceleration in the second quarter as the zero-COVID policy prompted lockdowns for major cities and supply-chain hubs.

Asia's Economies Face Weakening Growth, Rising Inflation Pressures

Vanguard's FTSE Pacific ETF is a glaring value. As its valuation approaches 10x earnings, now may be the time to buy. Rising interest rates and large debts in Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong are troublesome, but the underlying enterprises show promise.

VPL: Deep Value In The Pacific

The ASEAN region has shown a strong rebound in manufacturing output during October. As a result of the severe negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread lockdowns and travel bans, many ASEAN economies were in deep recession during 2020.
