Vanguard Brings Unrivaled Access To ETFs With Launch Of Industry’s Largest Commission-Free Platform

Vanguard today launched the largest suite of commission-free ETFs available to investors. As announced in early July, Vanguard is offering commission-free online transactions on approximately 90% of all ETFs—nearly 1,800 of the roughly 2,000 ETFs currently trading on the major exchanges. Vanguard has excluded inverse and leveraged ETFs due to their highly speculative nature. Vanguard’s expanded commission-free platform will result in lower costs for initial ETF investments as well as strategies such as dollar-cost averaging, rebalancing, and harvesting losses for tax purposes.
