Vanguard to Serve as Alternate Fund Partner for Trump Accounts

Vanguard announced on July 1, 2026, that the U.S. Treasury Department selected the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) as an alternate investment option for Trump Accounts, a new savings vehicle under Section 530A of the tax code designed for American families to invest on behalf of their children.

The asset manager said the choice aligns with its longstanding mission to offer low-cost, broadly diversified index funds. Rodney Comegys, Vanguard’s Chief Investment Officer for Vanguard Capital Management and Head of Global Equity, noted that the firm has advocated for affordable child savings accounts for over 50 years.

“Trump Accounts offer a meaningful opportunity for families to begin investing early on behalf of their children, helping lay the foundation for financial literacy, security, and confidence,” Comegys said in the announcement. He added that Vanguard is proud the next generation of investors will benefit from its time-tested approach.

Vanguard said it intends to support rollovers into Trump Accounts once the Treasury issues further guidance. The firm will communicate additional details as they become available. Families can enroll and find updates at TrumpAccounts.gov.

The Trump Account program was introduced as a tax-advantaged way to save and invest for children’s future expenses. VTI, one of the largest ETFs by assets under management, provides exposure to the entire U.S. stock market at a low expense ratio.
