Asset manager Vanguard has expanded its global equity UCITS ETF range with three new additions: The Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap UCITS ETF, the Vanguard FTSE Global Small-Cap UCITS ETF and the Vanguard FTSE All-World ex U.S. UCITS ETF.
The Global All-Cap ETF is designed to give investors broad exposure to the full equity market, the Global Small-Cap ETF will provide dedicated small-cap exposure and the All-World ex US is designed as an alternative for investors who may want to manage their US allocation separately.
The ETF’s will list on the London, German, Dutch, Italian and Swiss stock exchanges.
Jon Cleborne, head of Vanguard Europe, said: “Investors want global equity portfolios that are simple to build, low-cost and flexible enough to meet different allocation needs.
“These new ETFs build on that strength by giving investors more choice in how they access global markets, whether through broad all-cap exposure, dedicated global small-cap exposure, or broad exposure to developed and emerging markets outside the US.”
This news follows Vanguard’s efforts to expand its UCITS ETF range earlier this year, including slashing fees on its global ETF.
