I am looking for advice on Vangauard’s recently launched active ETFs – VDIV, VUSG and VUSV. Their expense ratio is ~ 0.40. They are managed by Wellington funds which has been managing some known Vanguard funds
It will be interesting to see how it does in 2026
Thanks.
Per Adam Grossman’s newsletter this week,”The most recent data point: In 2025, nearly three-quarters of actively-managed funds trailed their benchmarks.”
My advice is to reframe the request with a specific question that is answerable by the forum audience. This forum already had plenty of discussion on active ETFs: just enter the “active ETF” phrase on the search box. Many more articles on active ETFs are available on-line, for example in the free Morningstar website.
Questions about the suitability of these ETFs (value, dividend growth, growth stocks) for anyone, or how they would perform in 2026 are not to be expected to yield any meaningful answer here.
I feel no need to consider “active” investing. If it is an active etf or a active fund the results will mirror each other. We know the 85% or more of active funds trail passive index investing, why would I fall into that trap just because it’s Vanguard
At that expense ratio? Not a chance that I’d consider it.
As to the first one, VDIV, it doesn’t appear to be a Vanguard product: VDIV – VanEck Morningstar DevMrkts Div Lead ETF – ETF Stock Quote | Morningstar
