Vanguard Enters Factor Thunderdome

TedTed
edited February 2018 in The Bullpen
FYI: (This is a follow-up article.)

Today Vanguard is entering a space no one really thought to see them in, and it’s doing it entirely on its own terms. The firm is rolling out a family of factor ETFs, which is typically thought of as being part of the smart-beta trend, except these funds are actively managed and are Vanguard’s first actively managed ETFs.

The six ETFs rolling out today comprise five single-factor funds and a multifactor fund. The products, their tickers and expense ratios are as follows:

.Vanguard U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF (VFLQ), 0.13%
.Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF (VFMO), 0.13%
.Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF (VFMV), 0.13%
.Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF (VFQY), 0.13%
.Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF (VFVA), 0.13%
.Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF (VFMF), 0.18%
