Vanguard European Stock Index Fund Investor EUR Acc IE0007987690

Vanguard European Stock Index Fund Investor EUR Acc is an index fund managed by Vanguard, classified by Morningstar as Europe Large-Cap Blend Equity and domiciled in Ireland. It was launched on 8 October 1999 and manages 6.45bn GBP. Its ongoing charge is 0.12% a year. It accumulates its income (no dividends paid out).

It belongs to the European family. This covers products focused on European companies, all of Europe, the eurozone alone, or a specific index such as the EURO STOXX. It's the closest exposure for anyone who earns and invests in euros.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by tracking the performance of the Index. To the extent practicable, the Fund uses a full replication strategy to select securities, so that the Fund invests in all the constituents of the Index, making the weight of such investments approximate those of the Index.

Financial Times

It's worth checking whether the product covers Europe or only the eurozone: they aren't the same. The first includes the UK and Switzerland, with their own currencies; the second stays inside the euro and spares you the exchange-rate effect.

Comparing only the index funds in this family that publish their ongoing charge (11), the cheapest charges 0.08% and the most expensive 1.10%. Vanguard European Stock Index Fund Investor EUR Acc sits at 0.12%.

These are the other products of the same family in the catalogue. Not all of them track exactly the same index: compare the full name, the TER, the currency, whether they accumulate or distribute and where they are listed.
