LOW-COST, UNCOMPLICATED PORTFOLIO BUILDING BLOCKS

We believe investing should be simple. That’s why every one of our ETFs is built the same way, using broad index exposures, physical replication and a strict governance framework. We’ve been doing it this way since we launched our first ETF back in 2001.

As one of the largest and longest-serving providers of ETFs in the world, our expertise, experience and scale help us drive value for investors. We have grown organically, continuously refining our approach and finding new ways to lower costs and improve performance. Our aim is simple - to create the highest-quality, lowest-cost core building blocks for your portfolios.

Our approach

Our indexing expertise dates back to when we launched the first Index fund for retail investors in the US in 1976. We bring this to our ETFs so that when you select a Vanguard ETF, you know exactly what you are going to get: low-cost, uncomplicated access to a broad market exposure.

Diversified

We believe in broad market exposure, which is why we always look for highly diversified indices.

Uncomplicated

We believe that funds should be uncomplicated, transparent, liquid and low risk. That is why we only use physical replication.

Robust

We believe ETFs should do what they are designed for: tracking their index as closely and consistently as possible.
