Retail investors have increased their ownership of U.S. stocks to nearly one-fifth of daily trading activity, a significant jump from pre-pandemic levels. Robinhood’s commission-free trading has played a key role in this shift, with the platform regularly publishing a list of the 100 most-owned stocks and ETFs.

Two popular ETFs among Robinhood investors are the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF and the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, providing exposure to the S&P 500 index. These ETFs offer investors an easy way to diversify their portfolios with a basket of large-cap U.S. stocks.

For investors seeking bond exposure, the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF offers a diverse selection of investment-grade U.S. dollar bonds, providing a reliable income stream. Additionally, the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF and Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF offer international stock exposure, albeit with higher risk due to emerging market volatility.

While the S&P 500 remains a popular choice, some investors are diversifying their portfolios with international ETFs to capitalize on growth opportunities in foreign markets. The Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor analyst team has identified 10 stocks with high growth potential, excluding the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. Consider diversifying your portfolio to maximize returns in the long run.
