Please keep in mind that the funds appearing in the table above are not actual portfolio holdings. However, based on their top-tier ETF Composite Scores, these funds show promise, and this list should be considered a good starting point for further research.

At this point, we're still actively building out our "Buy-and-Hold" and "Sector Trading" Portfolios, and we're currently monitoring a number of these funds as possible candidates. In the coming weeks and months, we'll bring you a detailed look at several funds that rank highest on our list.

On that front, in today's issue we'll shine the spotlight on a pair of well-managed, cost-efficient offerings from the growing Vanguard lineup...
