Vanguard's research suggests that international stocks in developed markets outside the U.S. may outperform U.S. growth stocks as AI benefits spread beyond the tech sector.

Two ETFs are highlighted as ways to gain exposure: SPDW (2,436 global stocks, 9.8% five-year returns) and VYMI (1,565 dividend-focused stocks, 14.1% five-year returns).
