About VXUS
VXUS covers the world's stock markets outside the United States. The FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index includes large, mid-sized and small companies from developed markets such as Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Switzerland, and from emerging markets such as China, India and Taiwan. With several thousand positions, the fund is among the most widely diversified ETFs on the market.
For US investors VXUS is the counterpart to VTI; together the two approximate the global stock market by value. From a European viewpoint the split is unusual, because Europe makes up a large part of this fund while the US is missing entirely.
The mix brings two particular features. First, the underlying stocks trade in many currencies, but the fund is priced in US dollars. Moves of the yen, euro, pound or renminbi against the dollar pass straight into its returns, with no hedging. Second, some markets restrict access for foreign investors, and FTSE counts only the free float that can actually be traded. The holdings reports also show units of a Vanguard money market fund held as a cash reserve. The country breakdown in the figures section shows which markets weigh the most.
