Vanguard ETF to Fund Ratios

From Bogleheads

Because Vanguard ETFs are shares of conventional Vanguard index funds, they can take full advantage of tax-management strategies available to conventional funds and to ETFs. Conventional index funds can manage tax liabilities by selling high-cost securities to realize losses to offset realized gains. They can also limit a fund's potential capital gains exposure by using in-kind redemptions to eliminate stocks with high built-in capital gains from the portfolio. This advantage gives our Vanguard ETFs management team more flexibility in implementing tax-management strategies. {from Learn More About Vanguard ETFs}

The following table records the percentage of ETF shares to the total shares of each Vanguard Equity Index Fund offering ETF shares.

Notes

Ratios are determined at the close of the fiscal years. For US index funds and the tax-managed Euro-Pacific international fund this occurs on 12/31 of each year. For all other international index funds, the close of the fiscal year comes on 10/31 of each year.
