2 Vanguard AUM & Trading update: Month of Jan 2017 Backdrop To kick off the first month of 2017, America swore in and digested the news of President Donald Trump, while Britain delved further into the legal process of Brexit. Against this backdrop, world markets fluctuated. Early in the month, the Federal Reserve published the minutes of its December FOMC meeting. About half of the committee members said that growth was more likely to surpass their forecasts, because of the possibility of more expansionary fiscal policy under the new President and the Republican-controlled Congress. The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged in January. France s Presidential Candidate, Marine Le Pen, confirmed that she wants to remove France from the euro. She stated that she wants a national currency with the euro as a common currency, and made continuous gestures throughout the month to publicise these intentions in her campaign. Towards the end of the month, MPs in the UK voted in favour of Theresa May triggering Article 50, which will make Britain s intention to leave the European Union official and begin the process of negotiating future trade deals. Despite all this political uncertainty, the Dow Jones hit an all-time record high of 20,100.91, with the FTSE 100 also reaching peaks of 7, Cash Flow/AUM Our funds had a great start to the year. Flows remained positive and almost doubled the December numbers, with a net inflow of $853m. There was primary market activity in 15 of our 22 s. We saw the cross-listing of the Vanguard USD Emerging Markets Government Bond in euros on the Euronext exchange. This (ticker: VDET) is priced with an OCF of 25bps. We also saw some large creations in VDET this month, adding $51.5m and bringing the fund up to a total AUM to $178.7m. Average Daily Volume (ADV) Average daily volumes were 30% higher on average in January, increasing to $148m. The most-traded in the line-up was the Vanguard S&P 500, representing 61% of total volume. The Vanguard Global Minimum Volatility saw a 343% increase in volume as investors looked to dampen their portfolios with so many volatility-inducing events occurring. The busy timetable of announcements from the Trump administration saw increased volume in the Vanguard FTSE North American (up 265%) and the Vanguard S&P 500 (up 48%). Spreads Spreads remained relatively unchanged across the board with 10 of our 22 s slightly widening. The moves were on average 8% wider, mainly due to the significant news events around the world. The most notable improvement came in the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets, with a spread improvement of 6bps to a monthly average of 15bps. The Vanguard S&P 500 was once again quoting the tightest spread across our range at 4bps for the month. 2
