5 Popular Vanguard ETFs Are Splitting Their Shares. Do You Own Any, and Should You Be Rejoicing?

Five Vanguard ETFs splitting

First off, below are the five ETFs. (Remember that an ETF is a fund that trades like a stock.) I’ll include their recent performances, dividend yields, expense ratios (annual fees) — and how they will be splitting their shares. I’m also including numbers for Vanguard’s S&P 500 index fund, for comparison.

Fund Expense Ratio Dividend Yield 5-Year Average Annual Gain 10-year Average Annual Gain Split Ratio
Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG) 0.03% 0.46% 11.38% 16.21% 6:1
Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEMKT: VGT) 0.09% 0.44% 14.78% 21.72% 8:1
Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: MGK) 0.05% 0.39% 12.26% 17.00% 5:1
Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (NYSEMKT: VO) 0.03% 1.51% 6.72% 10.91% 4:1
Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VOOG) 0.07% 0.54% 12.17% 15.91% 6:1
Vanguard S&P 500 ET 0.03% 1.19% 11.74% 14.22% N/A

All about splits

The difference in split ratio is likely due to differences in the funds’ per-share prices: The Vanguard Information Technology ETF recently traded near $718 per share, while the Vanguard Mid-Cap fund traded near $291.
