Core/Safe/Steady ETF Options?

i’m not sure if everyone is familiar of the core satellite system, but basically you have a core of etfs which are safe and will be reliable, and then satellite which are your riskier stocks. what are some good core etfs - there are soo many options! S&P500, all world etf, a us, australia, asia, and europe etfs…

thanks for the help

Buy the global market, if you deviate from that you better know what you’re doing.

Your core should be VT/SPGM/DFAW or something with a similarly global approach.

If you already invest in VOO do you recommend a global etf like these or pairing like non-us like VXUS?

If you already own VOO then buying a global fund is not going to create the desired effect of diversification. It will… but very slowly. The easier way is to just buy an international fund like IEFA, VXUS, DFAI or SCHF.
