Key figures, answered

What is VLC.AX's management fee?

Vanguard MSCI Australian Large Companies Index ETF charges 0.20% a year as of 7 October 2026, about $20 for every $10,000 invested. The fee is deducted from the fund's assets whatever it returns, so it never appears as a bill. Brokerage and the bid-ask spread are extra costs. Compare it with funds that track the same market.

How large is VLC.AX?

Vanguard MSCI Australian Large Companies Index ETF manages 318.23M AUD in assets as of 7 October 2026. Size matters because larger funds are less likely to close, which could force investors to sell at an inconvenient time, and they usually trade with tighter bid-ask spreads, a cost that does not appear in the fee.

A higher top-ten share means the fund's returns depend more heavily on a few companies. The full holdings are in the issuer's documents.
