Vanguard Diversified Index ETFs
Simple yet sophisticated: In just one trade.
We're excited to launch Vanguard Diversified ETFs.
Finally, a multi-asset solution in the shape of an ETF. Catering for a range of investors with options from conservative through to high growth, the four ETFs feature professionally monitored asset allocations and automatic rebalancing - all at an incredibly low cost.
Combining an income and growth solution like this redefines how you can diversify portfolios using ETFs. That’s the Vanguard difference.
Discover more about this exciting range in our short video.
All four ETFs harness the diversification benefits of Vanguard's index funds to offer exposure to over 10,000 securities in each ETF. As a separate share class of a $7 billion pool of assets, each ETF has the same asset class exposures as their respective wholesale Diversified Index Funds.

Cost is one of the most important factors in successful investing.
Investors can't control the markets, but they can control how much they are willing to pay. Every dollar that investors pay for management fees or trading commissions is a dollar less of potential return.
With a management expense ratio of 0.27%, investors in Vanguard Diversified Index ETFs may pay as little as $2.70 a year for every $1000 they invest.
