About VTEK

VTEK is an international shares ETF from Vanguard, listed on the ASX since March 2026. With $79m under management it is number 151 of 254 international shares ETFs by size. The management fee is 0.23% a year, about $23 on every $10,000 invested, cheaper than the typical international shares ETF at 0.55%.

Its largest holdings are NVIDIA Corp, Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp, and the top 10 make up 67% of the fund. By sector it leans towards information technology (85%) and communication services (14%). United States is the biggest country exposure at 81%.

VTEK at a glance: strengths and things to watch

πŸ‘ Strengths

  • Low cost. At 0.23% a year it is cheaper than 90% of international shares ETFs.

⚠️ Things to watch

  • Short track record. Listed in March 2026, so it hasn't been tested through a full market cycle.
  • Concentrated. The top 10 holdings make up 67% of the fund, so a few companies drive the result.

Is VTEK in a base or a trend?

VTEK doesn't have enough price history yet (about 11 months) for a reliable trend reading, or it is a cash-like fund whose price barely moves.

Why it matters: Every ETF moves between bases and trends. Knowing which stage it is in helps decide when to buy a satellite, and when to wait.

At ETF Adviser the core of a portfolio stays invested through every stage, and satellite ETFs are only bought in an uptrend. Members get a weekly update on which ETFs are breaking out of a base and which trends have broken.

Why no chart? This ETF does not have a reliable 12-month price history yet.
