VDGR sits between VDHG (90% shares) and VDBA (50% shares) on Vanguard's diversified ETF range. The 70/30 split provides more bond cushioning during market downturns than VDHG, though growth over time will generally be lower as a result. At 0.27% it's the same fee as VDHG. VDGR's returns are shown in the performance section below. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. The figures sit below VDHG's, reflecting the defensive allocation drag from bonds during the equity bull run.
