Money in and out

Monthly data · as of Jul 31, 2026

VWO’s fund, all share classes together: in the month to Jul 31, 2026, net $1.7bn came in, by its SEC filing.

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