Description and fund objective

Vanguard EUR Cash UCITS ETF EUR Dist is an actively managed ETF: it does not track an index — the declared index (ESTR Compounded Index) is a comparison yardstick only. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.07%, plus 0.04% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 561 million euro, was launched on 9 December 2025 and is domiciled in Ireland. In our registry 2 other ETFs declare the same index.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The Fund aims to preserve capital, maintain a high level of liquidity within the Fund’s portfolio of assets and provide a return in line with Euro money market rates. Money invested in the Fund is not protected or guaranteed.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

The Fund is a Short-Term Variable NAV Money Market Fund in accordance with the EU Money Market Fund Regulation and will comply with the investment and diversification restrictions set out in the Fund Supplement. The Fund employs an “active management” strategy in seeking to achieve its objective by investing in securities that are eligible assets according to Article 9 of the EU MMFR. The Fund seeks to primarily invest in high-quality EUR denominated Treasury Bills (short-term securities issued by Governments), Agency and Supranational issued commercial paper (unsecured short-term debt instruments issued by corporations or other entities including public or local authorities), Time Deposits (fixed term investment that gathers interest over the period of its term) and reverse repurchase agreements (instruments under which the Fund acquires ownership of securities from a seller who agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed date and at an agreed repurchase price). The Fund may measure its performance against the compounded Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR), the rate published by the European Central Bank, which reflects the wholesale euro unsecured overnight borrowing costs of banks located in the Euro area. The Investment Manager has discretion to select the Fund’s investments and is not restricted to selecting investments from any benchmark. The securities held by the Fund may be issued or guaranteed by Governments, Government Agencies or Local Authorities (including those that do not participate in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)), Supranational bodies or corporate issuers. The weighted average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio will not exceed 60 days, and the weighted average life of the Fund’s portfolio will not exceed 120 days. At least 7.5% of the Fund’s portfolio will be daily maturing assets, reverse repurchase agreements or cash which may be terminated or withdrawn by giving prior notice of one working day. At least 15% of the Fund’s portfolio will be comprised of weekly maturing assets, reverse repurchase agreements or cash which may be terminated or withdrawn by giving prior notice of five working days and money market instruments or units or shares in other money market funds provided they can be redeemed and settled within five working days (provided such money market instrument or units or shares will only constitute a maximum of 7.5% of the weekly maturing assets). The Fund will only invest in EUR denominated securities (which may include securities from issuers inside and outside the EMU) that are high credit quality pursuant to the Manager's internal credit quality assessment procedure and with a maturity at issuance or residual term to maturity of 397 days or less. The base currency of the Fund is EUR. Information on the Fund's portfolio can be found at https:// www.ie.vanguard/ products. The Indicative Net Asset Value for the Fund is calculated throughout the trading day and is published on Bloomberg or Reuters. ETF Shares in the Fund can be bought or sold on a daily basis (save on certain bank holidays or public holidays and subject to certain restrictions described in the Prospectus). ETF Shares are listed on one or more stock exchange(s). Subject to certain exceptions set out in the Prospectus, investors who are not Authorised Participants may only buy or sell ETF Shares through a company that is a member of a relevant stock exchange at any time when that stock exchange is open for business. A list of the days on which shares in the Fund cannot be bought or sold is available on: https://fund-docs.vanguard.com/holiday-calendar-vanguard-funds-plcETFs.pdf Income from the ETF Shares will be paid out. VF is an umbrella Fund with segregated liability between sub-funds. This means that the holdings of the Fund are maintained separately under Irish law from holdings of other sub-funds of VF and your investment in the Fund will not be affected by any claims against any other sub-fund of VF.

Intended retail investor:The Fund is available to a wide range of investors seeking access to a portfolio managed in accordance with a specific investment objective and policy. The VF depositary is Brown Brothers Harriman Trustee Services (Ireland) Limited.

9 distributions reinvested
2025: the share class was launched on 9 December 2025; the return runs from launch to 31 December 2025 and is not a full year.
Reinvested series rebuilt by Rebalix from the distributions on file since 15 January 2026: the completeness of the archive is not certified; each year shows how many distributions were reinvested.

Method and sources

Switch on: series with distributions reinvested, rebuilt by Rebalix — the distributions declared by the issuer are reinvested at the NAV on the ex-date. It is the total return, comparable with accumulating classes. Switch off: NAV without reinvestment, which drops at every distribution.
Source: Vanguard. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available August 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

No complete calendar year since launch (9 December 2025): the yearly tracking difference is not published for the launch year, because fund and index would cover different periods (the launch month is partial). The first comparable year is 2026, once closed.

For these exchanges none of the listing sources Rebalix covers provides a ticker; the listing is known from the ESMA register (FIRDS) or declared by the issuer.
+ 4 other trading platforms (platforms for professional participants and segments without admission to listing, such as an exchange operator’s dark books or auctions): they are not exchanges and are not listed.
Exchanges are taken from the official ESMA register (FIRDS) and, where FIRDS does not cover the exchange (London, Zurich) or does not record the current listing, from the issuers’ product lists and documents: the “Exchange source” column says so row by row. Each exchange is a single row, with all its markets and segments. Tickers come from the issuers’ product lists and tax documents or, where indicated, from ISIN→exchange mapping under the open FIGI standard (OpenFIGI). Activity on a dark book, an auction or an ancillary platform does not prove a listing on the exchange that operates it. Rebalix mainly covers venues in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom: when the issuer declares current listings in other jurisdictions too, they appear with their source, outside the ESMA register perimeter. Terminated or cancelled listings are not shown. The same fund may trade in different currencies depending on the exchange: check the trading currency with your broker.
