How is Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF managed – active or passive?

Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.75% a year and index funds 0.45%.
What will I pay in fees for VTEK?
VTEK charges a management fee of 0.23% a year, about $23 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 78% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, the median is 0.55%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include ETFS US Technology Currency Hedged ETF (HTTP) at 0.17%.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.14% for VTEK.
Does Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF follow a theme?
Yes. Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF focuses on technology, and its largest sector is Information Technology at 100.0% of the fund. Thematic funds are narrower than the broad market, so they can rise or fall much more than it does.
Other ASX funds with a technology focus include Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ), Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG), Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASIA) and Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF (HNDQ).

It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings. Its top 10 weighting of 67.3% compares with 35.9% for Global ex-Australia equity funds.
How well has Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF performed?
Based on its category, Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
VTEK doesn't have a full year of price history yet, so we can't judge its performance.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for VTEK; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.23% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
