The same macro factors affecting the equities market, such as tariffs, geopolitical factors, and a changing interest rate policy are also affecting the fixed income markets. With that, there's never been a better time to access active fixed income strategies that help advisors and investors navigate the murky macro environment.

Vanguard continues its push into the active ETF market with the introduction of three news funds focused on equities. These are the Vanguard Wellington U.S. Value Active ETF (VUSV), Vanguard Wellington U.S. Growth Active ETF (VUSG), and Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF (VDIG).

When it comes to inflows this year, Vanguard continues to prove it's in a league of its own. The ETF juggernaut has amassed $315.9 billion in inflows as of November 11, which is 30% higher compared to the same time a year ago.

Advisors may sometimes feel like they're venturing out to solve the world's personal financial problems alone. This applies to entrepreneurs managing their own firms and intrapreneurs who are part of an existing firm.

In the World Series of ETF inflows, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) could do what the Los Angeles Dodgers just did in professional baseball: go back to back with another $100 billion in inflows for a second consecutive year.

As noted by TMX VettaFi Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth, fixed income ETFs are having a banner year amid record inflows. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) and Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (BNDX) were two of the top funds responsible for the $325 billion in net inflows (as of October 15).

The Federal Reserve's first rate cut of the year may have forced fixed income investors to rethink their bond exposure. In the case of government bonds, investors may want to take an active, diversified approach with the Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF (VGVT).

Active fixed income ETFs have been quite popular thus far in 2025. However, following the Fed's rate cut, we expect demand to persist into yearend and into 2026.

Vanguard continues to bolster its active ETF lineup with a new, high yield fund — the Vanguard High-Yield Active ETF (VGHY). It's the first high yield active ETF from Vanguard, bringing their current active ETF roster to nine funds.

The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) are prime examples of what has been the bedrock of Vanguard's ETF strategy: offer low-cost, passive funds. That's amassed them insurmountable assets under management over the years.
