Hello,
You could complement it with Avantis etf AVDV with 1387 holdings for 0,36% fees.https://www.avantisinvestors.com/avantis-investments/avantis-international-small-cap-value-etf/
And the us version AVUV with 782 holdings for 0,25% feeshttps://www.avantisinvestors.com/avantis-investments/avantis-us-small-cap-value-etf/
You will diversify from vanguard as an emitter with avantis.
You should read few other threads on the subject.

Domiciled in the US which has implication for the estate tax.
WSML
0.36% TER and over-weights the US, but
EU domiciled
US companies tend not…
