Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
LONDON - Vanguard Funds PLC has recently carried out a series of share repurchases across a range of its funds, according to a statement released by the Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE:BK). The transactions, which took place on April 28 and April 30, 2025, involved the buyback of shares from several different funds, with the nominal amounts of shares repurchased ranging from as few as 26 to as many as 1,080,000 shares per transaction.
The repurchase operations resulted in a reduction of the outstanding shares for each involved fund, with the remaining balances adjusted accordingly. For instance, one of the largest single repurchases was for the fund with the ISIN IE00B3XXRP09, where 840,000 shares were bought back, leaving a remaining balance of 399,058,797 shares on April 28, 2025.
Vanguard Funds PLC’s repurchase activity is part of its ongoing efforts to manage its funds’ share counts. Share repurchases are a common financial practice used by funds and companies to return value to shareholders, potentially increasing the value of remaining shares by reducing the total number in circulation.
The repurchase transactions were completed on two separate value dates, most occurring on April 28, with additional operations on April 30, 2025. The transactions included various other funds with ISIN codes such as IE00B3RBWM25, IE00B42WWV65, and IE00B8GKDB10, among others.
It is important for investors to note that such repurchase activities can affect the net asset value (NAV) per share of the funds, as the total assets are spread over a smaller number of shares after the repurchase. However, the exact impact on the NAV and the performance of each fund will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions.
This series of repurchases reflects Vanguard’s active management of its fund offerings and provides a transparent look into the fund’s operations. The information is based on a press release statement and does not imply any assessment of the significance or future performance of Vanguard Funds PLC or its products.
