SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Vanguard Group filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a new foreign index fund. The fund would track the FTSE All-World ex-USA Index, which is float-adjusted and weights stocks in both developed and emerging markets by market-cap size. The underlying benchmark covers 2,000 large-cap and mid-cap stocks in 48 countries. The new fund would offer investor, institutional and exchange-traded fund share classes.
