Fund codes
The management expense ratio (MER) is the MER as of the most recent fund year end, including waivers and absorptions, and is expressed as an annualized percentage of the daily average net asset value. Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. expects to continue absorbing or waiving certain fees indefinitely but may, in its discretion, discontinue this practice at any time. For recently launched funds, MER information is not yet available.
