Vanguard FTSE 250 UCITS ETF (GBP) Accumulating

Vanguard FTSE 250 UCITS ETF (GBP) Accumulating is an exchange-traded fund that employs a passive indexing strategy to track the FTSE 250 Index, a benchmark comprising 250 mid-cap companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. Launched on 14 May 2019 and domiciled in Ireland, the ETF physically replicates the index by holding its constituent securities, resulting in a portfolio of approximately 251 stocks with a median market capitalization of 1.8 billion GBP. Its base currency is GBP, and it is available in GBP and EUR listings, featuring an accumulating share class where all dividends are automatically reinvested to enhance share price growth rather than distributed. The fund maintains a low total expense ratio of 0.10% per annum and a portfolio turnover rate around 15%, reflecting efficient management. Predominantly invested in the United Kingdom (over 99%), it spans diverse sectors including financials (around 21%), industrials (17%), consumer discretionary (17%), and real estate (10%), with top holdings like IG Group Holdings PLC, Taylor Wimpey PLC, and Tritax Big Box REIT PLC typically comprising about 12% of assets. This ETF provides targeted exposure to the UK mid-cap equity market, capturing growth potential from established yet dynamic companies outside the FTSE 100 large-caps.
