Vanguard Raked in a Whole Lot of ETF Cash in 2013

Vanguard leads with $51 billion, or 32 cents out of every dollar invested in an ETF, up from 28 cents last year. It has seen 21 of its 67 ETFs grow by at least $1 billion in 2013,” reported Eric Balchunas for Bloomberg in early December.

Four Vanguard ETFs – the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSEArca: VGK), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEArca: VTI), Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: VOO) and the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (NYSEArca: VEA) – ranked among the top-10 funds in terms of assets gathered last year. Just one Vanguard ETF – the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca: VWO) – ranked among the 10 worst in terms of outflows last year.

Two new Vanguard ETFs – the Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (NasdaqGS: BNDX) and the Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF (NasdaqGS: VWOB) – are among the 10 best new ETFs for assets accumulated. [These 10 New ETFs Have Quickly Gained Assets]
