Vanguard offers a wide range of mutual funds and ETFs, so why did we select these investments for your consideration in the cost comparison? They were chosen because of their similarity to your current investment. That includes investment objectives, styles, and categories.
Stock and bond fundsWe select Vanguard stock and bond funds primarily based on their matching Morningstar category. When there are multiple Vanguard funds in a specific category, we narrow the results by using characteristics including a fund’s median market capitalization (for equity funds), effective duration (for fixed income funds), and then additional criteria if necessary. In some cases, there may not be a match.
Note: More than 90 Vanguard funds offer Admiral Shares, which have lower costs than Investor Shares. We use a fund’s Admiral Shares class when available.
Exchange-traded fundsFor ETFs, we apply the Morningstar category as the first selection criteria. If necessary, we narrow the results using an ETF’s primary index and median market cap (for equity ETFs) and effective duration (for fixed income ETFs).
ExclusionsWe exclude the following funds from the calculations: all Vanguard funds that are closed to new investors; all Vanguard Tax-Managed Funds; Vanguard Managed Payout Fund; all mutual funds with a $100,000 minimum investment; and FTSE Social Index Fund, High Dividend Yield Index Fund, and Dividend Appreciation Index Fund.
Considering costs and other factorsCosts are important when choosing investments because you can control how much you spend on costs. Costs aren’t the only thing to focus on, however. It’s also smart to keep in mind your personal goals, the length of time you plan to invest, and your tolerance for risk.

This comparison is for illustrative purposes only and doesn't take into consideration your personal circumstances or other factors that may be important in making investment decisions. Cost is only one of many factors to consider when investing. Lower expense ratios don't guarantee positive investment performance. There may be material differences between the funds or ETFs shown, including investment objectives, fees and expenses, liquidity, risks, fluctuation of principal or return, and tax features, that this comparison doesn't take into account. This page isn't a recommendation to buy or sell a particular security. A single rate of return assumption was applied in the illustration and an investor's results may vary.

You must buy and sell Vanguard ETF Shares through a broker, who may charge commissions. Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable directly with the issuing Fund other than in very large aggregations worth millions of dollars. ETFs are subject to market volatility. When buying or selling an ETF, you will pay or receive the current market price, which may be more or less than net asset value.
