Don’t try to time rebalancing

Don’t try to time rebalancing. When is the right time to rebalance your portfolio? Catherine Gordon of Vanguard Investment Strategy Group and Chuck Riley of Vanguard Advice Services say consider two triggers when looking to rebalance. If your asset allocation has strayed 5 percent or more from your target allocation, or if your time horizon is significantly shorter since the last time you looked at your asset mix, it may be time to rebalance.

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.

Investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information about a fund are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before investing.

Vanguard is one of the world’s largest investment companies, offering a large selection of low-cost mutual funds, ETFs, advice, and related services. Whether you are an individual investor or a financial professional, or you represent a corporate or institutional investor, you can benefit from the size, stability, and experience we offer.

Founder John C. Bogle structured Vanguard for just one purpose—to build wealth for its clients…and only for its clients. The crucial difference from other fund companies: Vanguard would redirect net profits from economies of scale to fund shareholders in the form of lower costs. The arrangement was similar to that of a credit union or a traditional mutual insurance company. Sales commissions were eliminated, and operating expenses were kept low. And, soon after its founding, Vanguard opened the first index mutual fund, launching the era of low-cost index investing.

Vanguard’s innovations were revolutionary, but they were not an overnight success. Indeed, this new approach was often ignored or even scoffed at.

Steady growth

But as the 1970s turned into the 1980s, the news about Vanguard started to get around. It spread largely by word of mouth, as early clients told their families and friends about their experience—the prudently-managed funds, the conscientious service, the low costs. As assets rose, Vanguard reduced costs further and launched more funds, both indexed and actively managed. The company extended services to retirement plans, institutions, and financial advisors. Its loyal client base continued to grow, and Vanguard’s steady incoming cash flow and low redemption rate began to move it toward the ranks of the nation’s major fund firms. And as Vanguard grew, it was able to steadily lower its average fund expense ratio from 0.89% in 1975 to 0.38% by 1990 (and eventually to 0.19% by 2013).

Other investment companies started to take notice. By the 1990s, as low-cost investing and index funds demonstrated their merits, competitors began to emulate Vanguard by offering their own index funds.

And as more investors and organizations realized the importance of cost efficiency, various fund companies selectively cut costs—sometimes just temporarily—in hopes of attracting new assets.

Meanwhile, under the leadership of Mr. Bogle’s successor, Chairman and CEO John J. Brennan, the company continued to expand, first venturing outside the United States in 1996 when it established offices in Melbourne, Australia. Vanguard later opened offices in a number of other international locations, including its European headquarters in London.

Today, Vanguard is one of the world’s largest and most trusted investment management companies, with operations around the globe. Our consistent, time-tested investment philosophy has proved itself in academic research and—most importantly—in helping millions of investors reach their goals. Vanguard has become widely recognized as a leading advocate of principled, common-sense investing.

Still standing alone

In a fiercely competitive investment arena, Vanguard remains alone in placing clients’ interests in the driver’s seat. Our corporate structure is still unique among mutual fund providers, with shareholders as the ultimate owners, receiving net profits in the form of lower costs.

As it continues to expand further into international markets, Vanguard offers an ever-wider range of investment products and services for individuals, institutions, and financial advisors, all at costs that are consistently among the lowest in the industry.

Vanguard’s dedicated crew is led by an experienced, stable management team. We’ve had just three CEOs in nearly four decades, with Chairman and CEO F. William McNabb leading the firm since 2008. Because Vanguard can’t be acquired by an outside entity, our clients can be confident that we will remain the same unique company, focused solely on their interests, in the years ahead.

Defence and AI dominate as European Thematic ETF flows hit record $8.73 billion H1 2025

Publicerad

Top Performer: Defence (+$7.87 billion) Emerging Themes: Cybersecurity (+$318 million), Uranium (+$253 million) ARK Invest

• Top Performer: Defence (+$7.87 billion)

Emerging Themes: Cybersecurity (+$318 million), Uranium (+$253 million)

European thematic UCITS ETFs posted a dramatic resurgence in the first half of 2025, with net inflows of $8.73 billion year-to-date, according to ARK Invest Europe’s latest quarterly update detailing H1 2025 European thematic ETF flows.

The turnaround marks a decisive reversal from the muted flows of 2024 ($308 million net outflows for the whole of 2024), as investors rotate back into forward-looking, innovation-driven themes with clearer earnings visibility.

Defence remains the dominant thematic allocation, capturing $7.87 billion in combined net inflows between Global ($4.81 billion) and European ($3.05 billion) defence ETFs underscoring its evolution from a tactical trade to a structural portfolio allocation. Maintaining its position as the defining technological theme, AI ETFs saw $904 million in net inflows, with investor appetite fuelled by relentless innovation in large language models, robotics, and autonomous systems.

In the same period, Cybersecurity ETFs continued to rebuild momentum after significant outflows in 2024 ($311 million net outflows for H1 2024), drawing $318 million, reflecting growing investor conviction in cybersecurity as a structural necessity amid rising digital threats.

Clean Energy ETFs saw outflows of $307 million. As policy momentum stalls in key markets, investors are increasingly selective within the energy transition space. Capital is rotating toward subsectors with clearer economic moats, such as nuclear and grid infrastructure. Supporting this sentiment, Uranium ETFs rank fifth at $253 million, reflecting growing investor interest in the nuclear sector as a potential solution to global energy needs.

Healthcare Innovation ETFs recorded net outflows of $279 million. The drawdown reveals investor caution around legacy biotech firms with uncertain drug pipelines and reimbursement risks. Interest is shifting toward AI-driven healthcare platforms offering faster innovation cycles and more scalable business models.

Electric Vehicles and Battery Tech ETFs saw net outflows of $203 million as investor enthusiasm cools amid subsidy rollbacks and plateauing EV demand in major markets. Persistent concerns around battery raw materials and production bottlenecks have further weighed on the theme.

Rahul Bhushan says, “After a cautious 2024, it’s evident that investors are re-engaging with innovation themes that offer clearer earnings visibility and resilience in an increasingly complex macro landscape. We’re seeing investor conviction in megatrends with structural tailwinds, particularly defence, AI, and energy security. Thematics are no longer just tactical bets, they’re core strategic exposures.”

2025/2024 Comparative Study

Thematics are back

After a weak 2024, investor appetite for thematic risk has returned in force:

• H1 2025 total net inflows: +$8.74B

• That’s a sharp reversal from -$791M in H2 2024 and only +$483M in H1 2024

• The rotation is clear: capital is moving back into forward-looking themes with stronger earnings visibility.

Defence is now a structural trade

• Global and Europe Defence saw a combined $7.87B in inflows in H1 2025 and $1.59B in June alone.

• This continues a multi-quarter surge as geopolitical tensions, rising military budgets, and renewed industrial policy drive long-term allocations.

• Defence is no longer a tactical trade—it’s becoming a core exposure.

AI inflows normalise, but conviction remains

• Artificial Intelligence ETFs drew $904M in H1 2025, following $1.47B in H1 2024.

• Inflows may be slowing, but investor conviction is holding firm.

• With earnings delivery now catching up to narrative, AI remains a centrepiece of thematic portfolios.

Cybersecurity shows signs of stabilisation

After brutal outflows in 2024 (-$311M H1, -$260M H2), cybersecurity ETFs finally saw inflows:

• $318M in H1 2025, including $67M in June.

• This rebound suggests investors are once again prioritising digital resilience in an AI-driven world.

Infrastructure themes are quietly regaining traction

• Global and Europe Infrastructure ETFs pulled in $284M in H1 2025, following modest gains in H2 2024.

• Infrastructure is benefiting from government stimulus, defence modernisation, and the reshoring trade.

Uranium’s steady climb continues

• $253M in H1 2025, after $216M in H2 2024 and $67M in June alone.

• Indeed, the $67M in June alone nearly matches the $66M pulled in during the entirety of H1 2024.

• A rare clean energy theme that’s bucking the downtrend, reflecting growing recognition of nuclear as a pragmatic decarbonisation solution.

Clean Energy sentiment is so bad, it might be investable

• Outflows across all periods: -$307M (H1 2025), -$505M (H2 2024), -$409M (H1 2024)

• June 2025: A mere -$8M

• Sentiment is arguably as negative as it’s ever been—yet structural drivers remain in place. The setup for a contrarian rebound is building.
