Vanguard, the third-largest U.S. ETF sponsor behind BlackRock's
BLK iShares and State Street's
STT State Street Global Advisors, is back to doing something that has helped the firm rapidly become one of the ETF industry's dominant players: Cutting fund expense ratios.
Already known for some of the lowest fees in the business, Vanguard
announced today lower fees for an array of its mutual funds and two ETFs.
The affected ETFs are the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund
VIG, which will see its expense ratio pared to 0.13% per year from 0.18%, and the Vanguard REIT Index ETF
VNQ, which will now charge 0.1% compared to 0.12% previously. The changes take effect immediately.
VIG's new expense ratio makes it cheaper than 88% of comparable funds, according to Vanguard. Home to 134 stocks, VIG is the largest U.S. dividend ETF with $10.5 billion in assets under management at the end of April. Top-10 holdings include Coca-Cola
CVX, IBM
, PepsiCo
PEP and Chevron
