Vanguard To Further Drive Down The Cost Of Investing By Broadening Commission-Free ETF Trades

TedTed
edited July 2018 in Fund Discussions
FYI: Vanguard today announced substantial reductions in the cost of investing with the firm by providing commission-free online transactions for the vast majority of ETFs. Vanguard, which has offered commission-free transactions of Vanguard ETFs since 2010, is broadening access beyond the company’s 77 low-cost ETFs to nearly 1,800 offerings, including ETFs from BlackRock, Schwab, and SSgA. The program will exclude highly speculative and complex ETFs.
Regards,
Ted

    I received notification via e-mail today. I'll look closer when time permits.

    Will likely will put pressure on other trading houses to do something similar.
