As far as exchange traded funds are concerned, Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) stands out as a top option for long-term investors to consider. This ETF allows investors to gain exposure to some of the largest companies in the U.

The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF rose 2% following Donald Trump's election win. Investors anticipate pro-business policies like corporate tax cuts.

The Vanguard Growth ETF is highly diversified for lower risk, but it sticks to top growth stocks. Moreoever, it has outperformed the broader index over almost any time frame. A strong investing strategy is to buy the growth ETF along with a standard market index ETF.
