What are Asset Allocation ETFs?
We’ve made investing simple. Each Asset Allocation ETF combines multiple individual index funds into one ETF portfolio, giving you access to thousands of global stocks and bonds in a single ETF investment. This helps reduce risk by spreading your investments.
Professionally managed single-ticket solution
Vanguard's Asset Allocation ETFs are managed by our Investment Management Group, which is responsible for rebalancing and overall management. The group manages over a trillion dollars in assets and leverages the experience of global leaders to create a simple yet sophisticated group of portfolios that function as a single-ticket solution. The team solves all the pieces of the portfolio construction puzzle, including the appropriate level of home bias, based on extensive research, to cater to the needs of investors.
