Will Vanguard Ever Start Managed ETFs?

[yakers]

It looks like Fidelity started several managed ETFs in Feb 2021 in particular the Magellen Fund ETF, looks like that has worked for them. Will we ever see a VG Wellington/Wellesley/Balanced/whatever managed fund ETF? I Hold a number of VG managed funds including Wellesley, Wellington, STAR and Balanced, it would be interesting and maybe easier to manage if there were ETF versions of the funds and maybe better for tax management.

While not an ETF, you mentioned "managed funds" so I thought "Vanguard Managed Allocation Fund (VPGDX)" deserves a mention. Minimum $25,000 investment with a 0.28% expense ratio. It invests in 14 different Vanguard funds!

The most interesting allocation of those is "Vanguard Market Neutral Fund Investor Shares (VMNFX)". Don't be fooled by the "investor shares" name... the minimum investment is $50,000 with a 1.18% expense ratio:

In general, I don't think Vanguard makes it's most specialized funds into ETFs. For example, it has CA and NY municipal bond funds, neither with ETF equivalents.
