VALLEY FORGE, Pa., March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanguard today announced plans to execute forward share splits for five equity index ETFs. The share splits will be effective on April 21, 2026 and are intended to widen availability for investors by keeping share prices within accessible trading ranges.

Vanguard periodically and diligently assesses its ETF lineup to determine when and where share splits would most benefit investor outcomes. A number of factors are considered, including ETF market price, bid-ask spread, and trading volume. These five ETFs meet Vanguard's standards for executing a share split at this time.

The following funds will undergo a share split:

Vanguard Growth ETF
(VUG) will be split 6:1
Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF
(MGK) will be split 5:1
Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF
(VOOG) will be split 6:1
Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF
(VO) will be split 4:1
Vanguard Information Technology ETF
(VGT) will be split 8:1

The record date for the splits will be April 17, 2026. The payable date will be April 20, 2026, after market close. All investors who own shares as of the close of trading on April 20, 2026 will have their shares included in the share split. The shares are expected to start trading at the new split-adjusted price beginning April 21, 2026, which would be considered the effective date. Investors will not be able to convert mutual fund shares to ETF shares on April 20 and 21. Importantly, forward share splits have no impact on the market value of an investor's holdings of the ETF nor do they trigger any tax consequences.

1. Global sovereign bonds sold off in tandem this week, with Japan at the epicenter. On September 2, the 10-year JGB yield reached 3.0175%, breaking above 3% for the first time since 1996. Over the past 12 months, it has risen 133.9 basis points, the largest increase among the six major developed-market maturities tracked. Over the same period, the French 10-year yield rose 79.7 basis points, the U.S. 10-year 74.6 basis points, and the German 10-year 70.8 basis points. The sell-off was driven less by renewed rate-hike expectations than by a repricing of fiscal supply and term premium, compounded by an approximately 10% weekly rise in crude oil, which pushed inflation expectations higher again. 2. The bond sell-off and crypto rally are not contradictory; they reflect the same underlying repricing dynamic. Bitcoin gained 2.50% for the week to $79,804 and 23.95% over the month, while gold rose 10.40% over the month. When markets are more concerned about sovereign solvency and currency purchasing power than the cost of capital, supply-constrained assets can rise alongside bond yields. On September 4, U.S. August nonfarm payrolls increased by 162,000, well above the 53,000 expected, and the implied probability of a September rate hike rose from 49.4% to 58% that day. This repricing dynamic still has further to run. 3. Within crypto, the most active capital is not concentrated in major assets, but in a new blockchain launched only in July. Robinhood Chain's TVL rose 26.2% week over week to $836 million, while seven-day DEX volume reached $11.30 billion, up 105.7% week over week and already above BSC's $8.70 billion and Base's $5.75 billion. ARB gained 50.97% for the week, UNI rose 41.35%, and PONS surged approximately 359%, compared with just 2.50% for Bitcoin over the same period. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, PONS, ARB, UNI, MARSCOIN, XAUUSD, UKOUSD, ORCL, ADBE.
