# Vanguard Launches Low-Cost International ETFs Targeting Value, Growth Exposure

**Vanguard** has rolled out two new international equity ETFs.

**Vanguard Developed Markets ex-US Value Index ETF** (BATS:VDV) and **Vanguard Developed Markets ex-US Growth Index ETF** (BATS:VDG) each offer targeted exposure to developed markets outside the U.S.

The funds rank among the lowest-cost options in their category, reinforcing Vanguard's push to undercut active strategies in international equities.

According to Vanguard, the new ETFs allow investors to fine-tune global allocations, either by tilting toward specific styles or complementing broader international funds such as **Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF** (NYSE:VEA) and **Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF** (NYSE:VWO).

## **Key Features**

-   **Style-specific exposure:** Separate access to developed ex-U.S. value (VDV) and growth (VDG) equities
-   **Ultra-low cost:** Both funds carry a 0.08% expense ratio
-   **Portfolio flexibility:** Can be used individually for style tilts or combined for balanced developed market exposure
-   **Diversification tool:** Complements existing international ETFs such as VEA and VWO
-   **Index-driven approach:** Offers a passive alternative in a segment largely dominated by active managers

International ETFs have been gaining steam since March, when ETFs tracking international markets attracted $32.3 billion in inflows despite an 8% decline in international equities.

This reveals investors have started using a systematic approach in their investments, rather than trying to time the market, making this a great time for Vanguard to launch the two ETFs.
