Money in and out

Monthly data · as of May 31, 2026

VONG’s fund, all share classes together: in the month to May 31, 2026, net $533m came in, by its SEC filing.

VONG is one of 2 US-listed ETFs tracking the Russell 1000 Growth. The money in and out of all 2, side by side.

Computed by ETFIQ from the monthly sales and redemptions VONG 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 VONG, back to Sep 2019, is in its flows file. Flows across every fund · How these flows are computed · Compare VONG with other funds in the flows tool
