Vanguard expands ETF range on LSE

Vanguard, one of the world’s largest providers of exchange-traded funds, has launched four new ETFs on the London Stock Exchange. The new ETFs provide diversified exposure to UK, developed Europe ex-UK, developed world and North American equity markets and take the total number of Vanguard ETFs on the LSE to 13. Since unveiling its range in May 2012, the provider now has more than $10 billion in European ETF assets under management. Ken Volpert, head of investments for Vanguard in Europe, said: “ETFs are coming of age in Europe as both retail and institutional investors value their low costs, liquidity and transparency.”
