Sources, methods, fine print.

BuyVEQT is an unofficial, community-built information hub for the Vanguard All-Equity ETF Portfolio (VEQT). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. or any other financial institution.

Every page on this site exists to make publicly available information about VEQT easier for Canadian investors to read, compare, and trust.

Live market data flows through a two-source fallback chain so a single outage doesn't blank the page:

• Alpha Vantage — primary source for VEQT. Real-time quotes and full daily history via their financial data API.
• Yahoo Finance — primary for comparison funds, fallback for VEQT. Quotes and history via the yahoo-finance2 library.

Every successful fetch is cached locally so the site can serve the last known good data when both providers are unreachable. The “Updated” timestamp and source label on each page tell you when and from where.

Different data, different cadences:

• Price quotes — every ~15 minutes via ISR caching. Often fresher inside market hours.
• Daily history — every ~24 hours. Yesterday's close doesn't change.
• Monthly history — every ~7 days.

Market data may be delayed and is not suitable for trading decisions. Always confirm prices with your brokerage before placing an order.

Charts use adjusted close prices, which back out distributions and splits so dividends don't manufacture phantom drops. Comparison charts normalize each fund to the start of the window, so two funds with different unit prices can be read on the same y-axis.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Fund metadata — MER, AUM, holding count, geographic and sector breakdowns, underlying ETFs — is compiled by hand from official fund documents, provider websites, and regulatory filings (Fund Facts).

We update these periodically, but they are not live. Expect a short lag between when a provider publishes a change and when this site reflects it.

MER note. Vanguard cut VEQT's management fee from 0.22% to 0.17% in November 2025. The official MER (which adds operating expenses and taxes) was last reported as 0.24% against an earlier fiscal year. The effective MER should land around 0.19%–0.20% once recalculated. We display “~0.20%*” with a footnote until the official number updates.

Distribution history is transcribed from Vanguard's published distribution announcements — amounts, ex-dates, and payment dates as printed.

Trailing 12-month yield is the sum of the last twelve months of distributions divided by the current unit price. A standard trailing yield. It does not predict future distributions.

Everything in the Learn archive is educational. The dispatches help Canadians understand how VEQT, all-in-one ETFs, and tax-advantaged accounts work. They do not constitute financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

Tax information is general. Tax law changes. Always consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.
