ETF description

This ETF invests in a broad range of large and mid‑sized companies located in developed markets across the Asia‑Pacific region, excluding Japan. The fund provides exposure to economies such as Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore, covering a variety of sectors including finance, technology, and consumer goods. By focusing on developed markets, the fund aims to offer growth potential with more stability compared to emerging markets in the region.

This ETF may appeal to investors looking to diversify their portfolio with exposure to the Asia‑Pacific region while excluding Japan. It could suit those who are interested in accessing well‑established companies in some of the region’s most advanced economies.

Issuer details

Vanguard is the largest provider of mutual funds and the second‑largest provider of ETFs in the world.

Vanguard is a major American investment management company headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania. It’s known for being the largest provider of mutual funds in the world and the second‑largest provider of ETFs after BlackRock’s iShares with over $8trn in global assets under management (as at June 2024). Vanguard was founded in 1975 by John C. Bogle and is notable for its unique ownership structure ‑ it is owned by its funds, which in turn are owned by their shareholders. This structure is designed to align Vanguard’s interests with those of its investors, helping to keep costs low.

Index details

The FTSE Developed Asia Pacific Ex‑Japan index offers exposure to large and mid‑cap companies from developed Asia Pacific countries, excluding Japan. With its focus on the diverse and dynamic economies of the region, the index provides opportunities for growth and sector diversification.

ETFs have spreads and annual charges and come with risks like market volatility, liquidity, and concentration, and may not always accurately track their index. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. The value of your investments, including any income, can rise or fall. You may get back less than you originally invested.
Whenever you invest, your capital is at risk
This could mean the value of your investments goes down as well as up.
