Transaction fee history

Notes

  1. Chart:Expense ratio

    google drive spreadsheet
  2. On October 6, 2010 Vanguard reduced the minimum requirements for Admiral Shares to $10,000. Vanguard lowers the cost of investing again
  3. The fund's higher than average turnover in fiscal year 2002 was due to a reformulation of the MSCI international indexes.
  4. The Fund CR (Commission Ratio) is derived by dividing the brokerage commissions paid by the fund into a fund's average net assets. Brokerage commission expense is the only transaction expense that can be quantified. Additional transaction costs, such as spread costs and market impact costs, must be estimated. Vanguard provides only aggregate, not individual, international index fund brokerage commission expense prior to 1997. See table for data, derived from annual reports and EDGAR NSAR filings:

    Note: If the spreadsheet is blank, select a different sheet, then back to that sheet. The image will be refreshed.

  5. From 2010 SAI: The delayering of fund-of-funds investments in the fiscal year 2009 resulted in fewer portfolio transactions and fewer brokerage commissions during the period.
  6. From 2013 SAI: Portfolio rebalancing in response to the benchmark index change for the Fund resulted in an increase in brokerage commissions for the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.
  7. The fund has tracked two benchmarks over its history:
    • MSCI Europe Index through March 26, 2013;
    • FTSE Developed Europe Index thereafter.
