VEU covers everything outside the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, emerging markets, all in one fund. Combined with VTS (US total market), VTS + VEU provides a complete total-world portfolio at ultra-low cost. Vanguard reduced the VEU management fee to 0.04% p.a. in February 2025. Important: VEU is US-domiciled, which creates potential US estate tax implications for Australian investors with holdings above USD $60,000. Consult a tax adviser with cross-border expertise before investing.
