- Vanguard Emerging Markets Ex-China ETF (VEXC) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Emerging ex China Index, a market-capitalization weighted benchmark comprising common stocks of large- and mid-cap companies located in emerging markets worldwide, excluding China. The ETF provides diversified exposure to equities in key emerging markets including India, Taiwan, Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, with top regional allocations to Asia Pacific (approximately 68%), Latin America, Africa, and Europe as of late 2025. It employs a passive, sampling-based investment approach to replicate the index's sector composition, market-cap balance, and valuation profile, offering investors low-cost access with an expense ratio of 0.07%. VEXC offers a core product for constructing international equity portfolios without China exposure; investors can pair it with developed markets ETFs such as Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) to achieve comprehensive global coverage across the broad investable market. The fund holds over 1,000 securities, with top holdings representing diverse sectors and approximately 29% in the ten largest positions as of late 2025. It targets institutional and retail investors seeking emerging markets diversification amid geopolitical considerations, with assets under management reaching about $46.54 million and shares outstanding at 600,000 by October 2025. Launched on October 2, 2025, following SEC prospectus amendments and prior delays from planned August and September starts, VEXC represents Vanguard's strategic expansion into China-excluded emerging markets indexing. This new offering builds on Vanguard's pioneering role in low-cost indexing, adding to its lineup of equity, fixed income, and multi-asset ETFs and mutual funds managed by Vanguard Equity Index Group. The ETF, advised from Vanguard's headquarters in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, draws on portfolio managers including Michael Perre, Jeffrey Miller, and John Kraynak, CFA, with no reported acquisitions, partnerships, or further major changes since inception as of December 2025.
