Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets (Dist) is a equity ETF from Vanguard tracking the FTSE Emerging index through physical (sampling) replication. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2012, the fund manages about 3.1 bn € and charges a TER of 0.22% — 22 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is paid out to investors periodically (distributing).
Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets (Dist) competes with 104 other products in the same class and region (Equity, Emerging markets): it ranks 16th by fund size and 47th by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.22% against a group median of 0.25%. It has been listed since 2012, 14 years of track record.
On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 22 € a year, against 25 € for the median product in the category.
Replication is physical by sampling: the fund holds a representative subset chosen to track the index while containing transaction costs — standard practice on very broad indices.
Income is distributed periodically: it produces cash flow, but reinvesting it is up to you if the goal is capital growth. The fund is denominated in USD. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
The fund is domiciled in Ireland, which determines the tax treatment of income received by the fund and the supervisory authority.
