I hate the way Vanguard UK customers subsidize the US business (Fees are lower for US customers than UK ones on comparable funds)

They aren't the cheapest anymore in almost every category, but their brand recognition has exploded here in recent years.

Do you have any evidence that they’re subsidizing US customers? It’s possible the fees are higher in the UK due to it being more expensive to operate the funds.

Damn, what?! I didn't know the UK rates were higher. But yeah the old Vanguard brand that Bogle built is strong.
