Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF USD Distributing

Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF USD Distributing is an equity exchange-traded fund that aims to track the FTSE Emerging Index, a free-float, market-capitalization-weighted benchmark of large- and mid-cap companies across multiple emerging markets in Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. It follows a passive, physically replicated approach, holding a broad basket of constituent stocks to mirror index performance. The fund distributes dividends, typically on a quarterly schedule, reflecting the income generated by its underlying holdings. With exposure spanning sectors such as financial services, technology, consumer cyclicals, communication services, and industrials, it provides diversified access to the growth and structural trends shaping emerging economies. The product’s total expense ratio has been cited at 0.22% per year, positioning it among low-cost options for this segment. Launched in 2012 and domiciled in Ireland, it serves as a core building block for global equity allocations seeking comprehensive, index-based coverage of emerging markets.
