An Expired Patent Could Revolutionize the ETF Industry

An expired patent previously held by Vanguard is poised to disrupt the exchange-traded fund (ETF) landscape. Wall Street has long viewed this patent as a crucial component of Vanguard’s success, enabling significant tax savings for the firm. With the patent now expired, Vanguard’s ETF competitors may have the opportunity to leverage this innovative structure.

BNY Mellon’s global head of ETFs, Ben Slavin, described the development as a potential game changer during a recent segment on CNBC’s “ETF Edge.” The patented structure, which expired in 2023, allows investors to access the same portfolio of stocks through both a mutual fund and an ETF, managed by the same team with identical holdings. This setup minimizes taxable events within the shared portfolio, offering a tax-efficient investment solution.

Industry experts like Ben Johnson from Morningstar believe that this structure could benefit millions of investors by reducing tax burdens. Johnson, who serves as the head of client solutions at Morningstar, sees the potential for ETFs to function as a separate share class within a mutual fund. By adding ETF share classes to existing mutual funds, the tax efficiency of the overall fund can be enhanced, benefiting all investors involved.

The ultimate decision on the widespread adoption of this structure lies with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Johnson remains optimistic about the prospects, stating that approval could come as early as this summer. The ETF industry eagerly awaits the SEC’s decision, anticipating a significant shift in the ETF landscape.
