In October 2026, Scalable Capital launched a fee-free retirement savings depot that automatically reinvests the Total Expense Ratio (TER) for specific ETFs from providers such as BlackRock, DWS, and Vanguard. This initiative is intended to lower long-term costs for private investors.

During the same period, Vanguard expanded its ETF offerings by introducing the Vanguard FTSE Global All-Cap UCITS ETF (VALL). This new fund covers approximately 98 percent of the global investable equity market, including small-cap companies, with a competitive TER of 0.07 percent. Additionally, Vanguard reduced the annual cost of its Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF from 0.19 percent to 0.14 percent following significant asset growth and inflows.
