Today, Vanguard joins London Stock Exchange to celebrate the launch of three new global equity UCITS ETFs, further expanding the firm's range of low-cost investment solutions for investors across Europe.
Founded in 1975, Vanguard is one of the world's leading investment management companies, serving more than 50 million investors globally and managing over $13 trillion in assets. Vanguard's purpose is simple: to take a stand for investors, treat them fairly and give them the best chance of investment success.
The Market Open ceremony marks the launch of the Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap UCITS ETF, Vanguard FTSE Global Small-Cap UCITS ETF and Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-U.S. UCITS ETF, which will be listed on London Stock Exchange alongside several other European exchanges. Together, the new ETFs broaden Vanguard's global equity range and provide investors with additional building blocks to construct globally diversified portfolios.
At the centre of the launch is the Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap UCITS ETF, which provides exposure to approximately 98% of the investable global equity market through a single investment, spanning developed and emerging markets and companies of all sizes. The complementary Global Small-Cap and All-World ex-U.S. ETFs provide investors with additional flexibility to tailor portfolios based on market capitalisation or regional preferences.
The launch reflects Vanguard's continued commitment to helping investors access broad diversification at a low cost. It also builds on the firm's ongoing expansion of its UCITS ETF range, providing investors with greater choice while remaining firmly rooted in Vanguard's long-standing investment principles.
Today's ceremony brings together Vanguard leaders, clients and industry partners to celebrate an important milestone in the continued evolution of ETF investing and Vanguard's mission to give investors the best chance of investment success.
