Expense ratio changes for 27 Vanguard ETFs®
January 20, 2012--In December 2011, Vanguard filed annual prospectus updates for 27 ETFs that had changes in their stated expense ratios. Eight of the ETFs had expense ratios that increased, while the remaining 19 ETFs had a decrease. Ten sector, six bond, and three mega-cap ETFs experienced reductions. Increases occurred in eight of our Russell and S&P domestic equity ETFs.
In the cases where there were expense ratio reductions, they were primarily a result of the way we operate our funds. When funds and their corresponding ETF share class experience greater efficiencies (either through asset growth, operating cost reductions, or a combination of both) the savings are passed on to the fund owners in the form of lower expenses.
For those ETFs where expense ratios increased, it was due to "acquired fund fees and expenses" (AFFE) that result from ownership of business development companies (BDCs).
