Investors have upped their interest in actively managed bond ETFs, pouring record capital into them in January as some paid up in hopes of stronger returns.

Vanguard Group (VOO), one of the world's largest ETF issuers, announced it is reducing fees on 168 mutual funds and ETF-related share classes, potentially saving investors over $350 million this year.

Even if they don’t cut fees, active managers need to determine whether prices are still fair and that their funds offer something that can’t be replaced with passive.

Asset manager Vanguard said on Monday it was lowering the cost of investing across its fund lineup in its largest cut ever and estimated that this would translate into savings of more than $350 million for its investors this year.

The Pennsylvania-based fund giant stands to gain ground against rivals such as BlackRock while earning more goodwill from retail investors.

Vanguard's fee cuts may not significantly affect BlackRock, as the latter has a more diversified ETF strategy and mainly caters to institutional investors.

Vanguard Group Inc.’s biggest salvo yet in its campaign to cut fees for the investing masses presents industry rivals with a painful choice. Follow suit and lose potentially hundreds of millions in revenue — or hold the line and risk losing badly needed market share.

Vanguard announced on Monday that it has reduced management fees for 87 exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. This move is the largest fee cut in the company’s nearly 50-year history. The firm estimates that this decision will save investors $350 million in 2025 alone.
