Three new Vanguard ETFs on Xetra: equities from Japan, Asia Pacific and developing countries

Three new ETFs from Vanguard Funds PLC are tradable via Xetra and Börse Frankfurt since Thursday.

The Vanguard FTSE Japan UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating allows investors to participate in the performance of large to mid-cap Japanese equities via the underlying FTSE Japan index. All stocks included are weighted according to their market capitalisation.

The Vanguard FTSE Developed Asia Pacific ex Japan UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating offers investors the opportunity to participate in the performance of leading economies in the Asia-Pacific region. The selection and weighting of individual stocks are taken from the FTSE Developed Asia Pacific ex Japan Index, which only tracks stocks of companies with high to medium market capitalisation from Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, New Zealand and Singapore. Japanese stocks are excluded.

In addition, the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating enables investors to invest in companies with good economic prospects from developing countries with large to medium market capitalisation. The underlying FTSE Emerging Index is a market capitalisation index adjusted for the free float.
