See for yourself how much you can save over 10, 20 and 30 years by investing in Vanguard Asset Allocation ETFs, which cost up to 70* less than the industry average.

Rebalancing done for you
Instead of monitoring and manually rebalancing your investments yourself, let Vanguard's team of over 100 investment professionals do it for you. Our Asset Allocation solutions are actively monitored and efficiently rebalanced, saving you time and effort in ongoing portfolio management.
With different equity-to-bond mixes that are regularly rebalanced back to the target allocation, advisors and investors simply need to choose the most suitable mix for their investment goals.
Advisors: Focus on your clients, leave the rest to us
Our research suggests clients greatly value the uniquely human skills advisers offer, as well as their emotional support and guidance through sometimes difficult market conditions.
At the same time, advised clients tend to favour automation for portfolio related tasks such as asset allocation and rebalancing1.
This is the beauty of our multi-asset solutions. Once you've decided which one suits your client's goals and appetite for risk best, you can leave the portfolio tasks to us, and focus on what they really want from you; your advice and guidance.
