Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund Price & Performance (VT)

Vanguard announced today that its International Explorer Fund will now be managed by Wellington Management and Schroder Investment. This change reallocates assets previously overseen by Baillie Gifford. With this adjustment, the fund's expense ratio will rise slightly to 0.45%, while its investment strategies and objectives remain unchanged.1

Recent declines in the S&P 500 have led to significant outflows from momentum-focused ETFs, including MTUM. Investors are moving to mitigate potential losses as market sentiment remains cautious. However, contrarian investors may see opportunities for gains as the market stabilizes and leadership shifts.2

Vanguard has surpassed State Street to become the largest ETF provider globally, with its S&P 500 ETF now leading in assets under management. This reflects a growing trend toward cost-efficient, passive investing, as Vanguard ETFs continue to attract substantial investor inflows.
