Money in and out
Monthly data · as of May 31, 2026VDE’s fund, all share classes together: in the month to May 31, 2026, net $80.0m went out, by its SEC filing.
Computed by ETFIQ from the monthly sales and redemptions VDE files with the SEC on Form N-PORT.
How this is computed
ETFIQ reads no daily data for this fund, so its flows are monthly, and the latest month filed is May 2026. The filing covers all share classes of the fund, not the ETF alone: Vanguard sells its ETF as one share class of a fund that also has mutual fund shares. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for VDE, back to Sep 2019, is in its flows file. Flows across every fund · How these flows are computed · Compare VDE with other funds in the flows tool
