About VDG

Vanguard Developed Markets ex-US Growth Index ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index measuring the investment return of growth-oriented large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks across developed markets outside the United States. It provides passive exposure to companies exhibiting strong growth characteristics, such as higher earnings growth potential and elevated price-to-earnings ratios, in regions including Europe, Japan, and other developed economies excluding the US. The ETF holds a diversified portfolio of equities from these international markets, focusing on sectors like technology, consumer discretionary, and healthcare that typically drive growth. As part of Vanguard's suite of index-based investment products, it offers investors a low-cost vehicle for gaining targeted international diversification beyond domestic US equities, emphasizing long-term capital appreciation through established growth strategies in mature global economies. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Vanguard manages this ETF within its broad range of equity index funds.
