International small-cap stocks surge to record levels. The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Small-Cap Index ETF has delivered impressive 44% year-over-year returns, outpacing domestic small-caps by seven percentage points. VSS trades at an attractive 12.8x price-to-earnings multiple with 9.24% earnings growth and a sub-1.3x PEG ratio, signaling solid value. The fund offers broad diversification across international markets with a 3% dividend yield and strong exposure to industrials and materials sectors. Technical indicators remain constructive with shares at record highs and a rising 200-day moving average. April through July typically shows favorable seasonality for small-cap equities. For investors seeking international exposure beyond US markets, VSS presents compelling opportunity at current valuations.
