Hi
I'm looking for a single international mutual fund for my 3-fund account. I back-tested these two and noted that VIAAX does better overall -- despite similar best and worst years in both. I see the mantra 'past performance does not equal future performance' here and try to keep it in mind. Other than VIAAX having 'only' 400 stocks and being 3x as concentrated in its top 10 holdings, what makes VTIAX preferred in terms of BH philosophy? Improved diversification? The blf that buying the 'total' market is more aligned and less risky?
Thank you, and Happy New Year.
