How VTWO, VNQ, and NETL Build Wealth

Trail Boss Dan Johnson breaks down three lesser-known but powerful pieces of the wealth-building puzzle: small-cap growth, real estate, and net lease income. In this episode, he explains how VTWO (small-cap stocks), VNQ (real estate investment trusts), and NETL (net lease properties) each play a different role in a diversified portfolio — and why chasing only the "big names" leaves real opportunity on the table.

Questions this episode answers:

• What is VTWO and how does small-cap investing work?
• What is VNQ and how do real estate ETFs build wealth?
• What is NETL and what is a net lease investment?
• How do small-cap, real estate, and income-focused ETFs work together in a portfolio?
• Why diversify beyond large-cap index funds like VOO?
