flag Vanguard is lowering UK LifeStrategy fund fees and shifting to global exposure with new funds starting 27 Jan 2026.

flag Vanguard is cutting fees for its UK LifeStrategy mutual funds, reducing charges from 0.22% to 0.20% starting 27 January 2026, with further drops to 0.17–0.18% by June 2026 as it switches to lower-cost institutional shares, potentially saving UK investors £10 million. flag The company is also reducing UK equity and fixed income exposure from 25% to 20% and 35% to 20%, respectively, as part of a shift toward global diversification. flag In response, Vanguard is launching a new LifeStrategy Global range of five funds with no home bias, offering fully global market exposure across risk levels, each with a 0.20% ongoing charge, available in UK-domiciled accumulation and income share classes via adviser platforms. flag These changes follow over 90 fee reductions since Vanguard’s London launch in 2009 and aim to enhance simplicity, transparency, and long-term performance amid growing competition in the low-cost multi-asset market.
