Description

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 448 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. 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.

Issuer-declared series with dividends reinvested: the total performance, comparable with accumulating funds. Switch it off to see the price (NAV) alone, which drops at every dividend payment.
Source: Vanguard. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 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.

Windows longer than the available price history cannot be computed and are not shown: they will appear on their own as time passes. Computed from the daily NAV series, always in nominal terms. Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.22%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate.
