StockspotStockspot exclusively recommended ETFs. When investors redeem, ETFs benefit from the ability to stream the capital gains tax bill away from the fund’s investors to their market makers.
VanguardVanguard diversified index funds are constructed using unlisted managed funds. This may lead to additional tax consequences due to differences in how ETFs and unlisted funds pay out (redeem) investors leaving the fund.According to Morningstar “When investors exit an unlisted fund, they’re paid out in cash. If fund managers sell assets to get that cash, it can create capital gains for the fund’s remaining investors. Those gains are passed on to investors as a taxable distribution. In effect, investors leaving unlisted funds can leave behind capital gains taxes for those that remain.”You can learn more here.
