Fees on numerous Vanguard US have been cut
https://www.marketwatch.com/articles/vanguard-group-makes-tiny-etf-fee-cuts-51551203965
Of particular interest to Mustachians, the VT is now 0.09%, VXUS is 0.09%, VEA is 0.07% and VWO is 0.12%, VTI remains unchanged at 0.04%.
edit:
effective TER for market weight all-world allocations as of today:
VT is 0.09%
VTI+VXUS (55%/45%) is 0.0625%
VTI+VEA+VWO (55%/35%/10%) is 0.0585%

Great news. I still hope Ireland based ETFs will also cut their fees,
Currently, Emerging ETF US based (VWO) is 0.12% and the one based in IE is 0.25% (VFEM).
I don’t understand why the european ones can’t beneficiate from the economy of scale.

They’re completely separate funds, run by separate entities, in a different country. The US one is 40x as large. (Those two also happen to track different indexes.)

Would be nice if they slashed those fees the same way (not to the same level) for their Ireland-based ETFs.

This is bloody amazing - what I would call financial art (either that or “tax evasion art”)

VT only drops to 0.06%, would have expected something closer to the average of VTI+VXUS at least (so below 0.05)

VT AUM 42B * 0.06% = 25M USD/year
VWRL AUM 17B * 0.22% = 37M USD/year
+ VT includes small cap that cost more to manage.
Would be nice if VWRL TER 25/37 * 0.22% = 0.15%
(I know, it’s more complex than this…:))

Vanguard is not reducing European fees. In fact they increased fees for UK fund account activity . I think they treat two markets differently
