    I’ve heard that Vanguard ETF statements may be available on 22 July.

    Also why I hate Prooerty Trusts, takes bloody forever to get tax statements.

    Maybe @The Falcon is looking for some stocking products? I suppose either would do.

    Which of the Vanguard ETFs provide a tax statement, or how is this determined? I've been frustrated in the past by VEU and VTS not providing currency conversions for all the amounts on their distribution statements, and didn't think they had annual statements.

    Fees dropped on VEU from 0.11% down to 0.09% (plus a swag of others)

    Link

    Edit..looking back I think it was .09 for VEU ETF around middle of the year?

    Hmmm, so these are US based, so when will the costs be reduced in Australian based funds. Feeling impatient.

    Here's hoping for some reductions (and other news) in 2020

    WSJ: The Huge Tax Bills That Came Out Of Nowhere At Vanguard

    The Huge Tax Bills That Came Out of Nowhere at Vanguard

    im-471793.gif

    Fury erupted on Bogleheads.org, a website popular among Vanguard investors. ...

    It happened because big clients left little ones holding the bag. Vanguard’s target funds come in more than one format. Smaller clients get the standard version; big customers like corporate retirement plans get an institutional version with identical holdings at a lower fee.

    At the end of 2020, Vanguard reduced the minimum investment in its institutional Target Retirement funds to $5 million from $100 million. That set off an elephant stampede, as multimillion-dollar corporate retirement plans got out of the standard target funds and into the institutional equivalents. (Clients have to sell out of one format to buy the other.) ...

    As big clients left, their sales caused the funds to offload some holdings, triggering capital gains—which could be distributed only to the dwindling group of investors who stuck around. Some had made the mistake of owning these funds in taxable accounts.

    I find it rather curious investors in such products assume the provider is to be held responsible for their investment decisions. I do understand the why of it and the reason they are upset but it's interesting nevertheless.

    Thats not true. Units values incorporate regular (daily / weekly) unit repricing for unrealised gains and losses and tax effects. Its not the case that the final unitholders realise all the gains. This same issue occurs with super funds for example. Typically a fund will reprice weekly and do investmnet choice changes once weekly to also reflect this pricing. You cant arbitrage other unitholders.

    Target date funds are rubbish in my view for so many reasons. Might provide some protection from Sequence of Return Risk but at what cost to the rest of one's retirement.
