Vanguard ETFs provide a low-beta strategy for 2026 market volatility

Investors are reducing portfolio volatility in 2026 by shifting toward low-beta Vanguard ETFs. The Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (VMBS) shows almost no correlation with the broader stock market, carrying a beta of 0.02. The Vanguard Total Treasury ETF (VTG), which invests in U.S. government bonds, carries a beta of 0.03. The Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (VDC), which holds 106 stocks including Walmart, Costco, and Procter & Gamble, carries a beta of 0.30. These funds focus on capital preservation over high returns. The shift is a response to ongoing market volatility in 2026.
