The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg US Treasury Bills 0-3 Months","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V042","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.66","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.01","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.67","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.01","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.63","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.34","marketPrice":"2.34"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-02-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"0-3 Month T-Bill ETF     ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V042","name":"0-3 Month T-Bill ETF     ","calendarYTDPct":"2.12","prevMonthPct":"0.33","threeMonthPct":"0.94","oneYrPct":"3.86","sinceInceptionPct":"3.99","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V042","name":"0-3 Month T-Bill ETF     ","calendarYTDPct":"2.12","prevMonthPct":"0.35","threeMonthPct":"0.95","oneYrPct":"3.88","sinceInceptionPct":"3.99","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V044","ticker":"VSDB","instrumentId":69247377,"shortName":"Short Duration Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard Short Duration Bond ETF","cusip":"922020730","IOVTicker":"VSDB.IV","inceptionDate":"2025-04-01T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly.

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors with medium-term investment horizons (4 to 10 years), for those seeking an investment that emphasizes income rather than growth, and for investors who have a low tolerance for the risk of short-term price fluctuations.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P Broad AMT-Free Municipal Bond 0-7 Year Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V039","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"76.17","priceChangeAmount":"0.04","priceChangePct":"0.05","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"76.21","priceChangeAmount":"0.03","priceChangePct":"0.04","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.40","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.48","marketPrice":"1.50"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2024-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short Dura Tax-Ex Bnd ETF","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V039","name":"Short Dura Tax-Ex Bnd ETF","calendarYTDPct":"0.99","prevMonthPct":"-0.54","threeMonthPct":"0.15","oneYrPct":"3.25","sinceInceptionPct":"3.78","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V039","name":"Short Dura Tax-Ex Bnd ETF","calendarYTDPct":"0.99","prevMonthPct":"-0.53","threeMonthPct":"0.17","oneYrPct":"3.30","sinceInceptionPct":"3.81","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0924","ticker":"BSV","instrumentId":2845959,"shortName":"Short-Term Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF","cusip":"921937827","IOVTicker":"BSV.IV","inceptionDate":"2007-04-03T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Short-Term Bond     ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

Keep in mind that investments that offer stability of principal typically are the most vulnerable to income risk—the possibility that the income from the investment will fluctuate over brief periods—and tend to produce lower long-term returns than riskier assets. Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other aAuthorized participantsuthorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Corporate Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.42","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.92"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3145","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"78.61","priceChangeAmount":"0.05","priceChangePct":"0.06","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"78.61","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.03","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.84","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.20","marketPrice":"1.17"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Corp Bond ETF ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3145","name":"Short-Term Corp Bond ETF ","calendarYTDPct":"0.81","prevMonthPct":"-0.13","threeMonthPct":"0.28","oneYrPct":"3.59","threeYrPct":"5.40","fiveYrPct":"2.31","tenYrPct":"2.63","sinceInceptionPct":"2.90","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3145","name":"Short-Term Corp Bond ETF ","calendarYTDPct":"0.79","prevMonthPct":"-0.16","threeMonthPct":"0.28","oneYrPct":"3.64","threeYrPct":"5.39","fiveYrPct":"2.30","tenYrPct":"2.61","sinceInceptionPct":"2.90","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V014","ticker":"VTES","instrumentId":54600207,"shortName":"Short-Term Tax-Ex Bnd ETF","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","cusip":"921935870","IOVTicker":"VTES.IV","inceptionDate":"2023-03-07T00:00:00-05:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Short","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index.

Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Index in USD","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.99","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.23","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.70"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3142","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"58.12","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.02","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"58.13","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.25","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.14","marketPrice":"1.14"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"ST Treasury ETF          ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3142","name":"ST Treasury ETF          ","calendarYTDPct":"0.79","prevMonthPct":"0.13","threeMonthPct":"0.31","oneYrPct":"3.11","threeYrPct":"4.28","fiveYrPct":"1.87","tenYrPct":"1.73","sinceInceptionPct":"1.41","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3142","name":"ST Treasury ETF          ","calendarYTDPct":"0.78","prevMonthPct":"0.13","threeMonthPct":"0.29","oneYrPct":"3.09","threeYrPct":"4.27","fiveYrPct":"1.87","tenYrPct":"1.73","sinceInceptionPct":"1.40","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0931","ticker":"VUSB","instrumentId":42966947,"shortName":"Ultra-Short Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard Ultra-Short Bond ETF","cusip":"92203C303","IOVTicker":"VUSB.IV","inceptionDate":"2021-04-05T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly.

Keep in mind that investments that offer stability of principal typically are the most vulnerable to income risk—the possibility that the income from the investment will fluctuate over brief periods—and tend to produce lower long-term returns than riskier assets. Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Short Treasury Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V041","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.63","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.01","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.64","priceChangeAmount":"-0.01","priceChangePct":"-0.01","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.74","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.27","marketPrice":"2.27"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-02-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Ultra-Short Treasury ETF ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V041","name":"Ultra-Short Treasury ETF ","calendarYTDPct":"2.02","prevMonthPct":"0.35","threeMonthPct":"0.90","oneYrPct":"3.87","sinceInceptionPct":"3.96","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V041","name":"Ultra-Short Treasury ETF ","calendarYTDPct":"2.02","prevMonthPct":"0.32","threeMonthPct":"0.90","oneYrPct":"3.91","sinceInceptionPct":"3.96","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V038","ticker":"VTEC","instrumentId":61032093,"shortName":"CA Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard California Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","cusip":"922021605","IOVTicker":"VTEC.IV","inceptionDate":"2024-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Muni California Interm/Short","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or California personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by California and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in California may have far-reaching impacts on the overall California municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in California than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall California municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index.

The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V023","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.98","priceChangeAmount":"0.15","priceChangePct":"0.20","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"76.07","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.17","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.87","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.20","marketPrice":"0.22"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2023-12-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Core Bond ETF            ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V023","name":"Core Bond ETF            ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.41","prevMonthPct":"-1.35","threeMonthPct":"-0.71","oneYrPct":"2.94","sinceInceptionPct":"4.74","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V023","name":"Core Bond ETF            ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.41","prevMonthPct":"-1.35","threeMonthPct":"-0.67","oneYrPct":"2.93","sinceInceptionPct":"4.78","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V040","ticker":"VCRM","instrumentId":66491979,"shortName":"Core Tax-Ex Bnd ETF","longName":"Vanguard Core Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","cusip":"922907712","IOVTicker":"VCRM.IV","inceptionDate":"2024-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Interm","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets.

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V022","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"76.35","priceChangeAmount":"0.15","priceChangePct":"0.20","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"76.50","priceChangeAmount":"0.15","priceChangePct":"0.20","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.92","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.44","marketPrice":"0.52"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2023-12-06T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Core-Plus Bond ETF       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V022","name":"Core-Plus Bond ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.18","prevMonthPct":"-1.28","threeMonthPct":"-0.60","oneYrPct":"3.35","sinceInceptionPct":"5.13","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V022","name":"Core-Plus Bond ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.07","prevMonthPct":"-1.20","threeMonthPct":"-0.44","oneYrPct":"3.41","sinceInceptionPct":"5.21","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V056","ticker":"BNDP","instrumentId":74118004,"shortName":"Core-Plus Bond Index ETF","longName":"Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Index ETF","cusip":"921913869","IOVTicker":"BNDP.IV","inceptionDate":"2025-12-02T00:00:00-05:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Index investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>ESG Investing. </b>As described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the index provider excludes certain securities from the target index based on ESG criteria. As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The index provider’s use of ESG criteria may result in the target index becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, index providers, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The index provider’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, the index provider depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>Income Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate SRI Select Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.07","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.96"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/4158","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"61.43","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.21","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"61.48","priceChangeAmount":"0.10","priceChangePct":"0.15","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.28","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.61","marketPrice":"-0.68"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2020-09-22T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"ESG U.S. Corp Bond ETF   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4158","name":"ESG U.S. Corp Bond ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.99","prevMonthPct":"-1.70","threeMonthPct":"-0.87","oneYrPct":"1.97","threeYrPct":"4.36","fiveYrPct":"-0.27","sinceInceptionPct":"0.02","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4158","name":"ESG U.S. Corp Bond ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.91","prevMonthPct":"-1.46","threeMonthPct":"-0.74","oneYrPct":"2.15","threeYrPct":"4.39","fiveYrPct":"-0.24","sinceInceptionPct":"0.05","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V050","ticker":"VGVT","instrumentId":71007623,"shortName":"Gov Securities Active ETF","longName":"Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF","cusip":"922020714","IOVTicker":"VGVT.IV","inceptionDate":"2025-07-07T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly.

This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. For example, the market for certain 144A securities may be less active than the market for publicly traded securities. Investing in such securities may heighten this risk for the fund.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Bank Loans and Loan Interests.</b> Investments in bank loans and loan interests (loans) are subject to the risk of loss in the event of default, insolvency, or the bankruptcy of the borrower. The fund may have difficulty disposing of such investments because, in certain cases, their secondary market is not highly liquid. This lack of a highly liquid secondary market could have an adverse impact on the value of loans and on the fund’s ability to dispose of them in response to a specific economic event, such as a downgrade in the borrower’s credit rating. In addition, transactions involving loans may take more than seven days to settle. As a result, the proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to the fund to make additional investments or to meet the fund’s redemption obligations until a significant amount of time after the sale occurs (an “extended settlement”). To the extent that an extended settlement creates a need for short-term liquidity, the fund may satisfy this need in a number of different ways. For example, the fund may hold additional cash or sell other investments (potentially at an inopportune time, which could result in a loss to the fund).</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Total Return Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V052","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.40","priceChangeAmount":"0.07","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.65","priceChangeAmount":"0.10","priceChangePct":"0.13","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"6.45","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.54","marketPrice":"2.55"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-09-16T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Vanguard HY Active ETF   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V052","name":"Vanguard HY Active ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"1.57","prevMonthPct":"-0.31","threeMonthPct":"0.37","sinceInceptionPct":"3.29","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V052","name":"Vanguard HY Active ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"1.63","prevMonthPct":"-0.14","threeMonthPct":"0.39","sinceInceptionPct":"3.68","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0925","ticker":"BIV","instrumentId":2845960,"shortName":"Inter-Term Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond ETF","cusip":"921937819","IOVTicker":"BIV.IV","inceptionDate":"2007-04-03T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Inter-Term Bond     ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 5-10 Year Corporate Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.10","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.97"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3146","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"81.16","priceChangeAmount":"0.15","priceChangePct":"0.19","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"81.17","priceChangeAmount":"0.12","priceChangePct":"0.15","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.42","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.34","marketPrice":"-0.33"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Inter-Term Corp Bond ETF ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3146","name":"Inter-Term Corp Bond ETF ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.66","prevMonthPct":"-1.27","threeMonthPct":"-0.66","oneYrPct":"3.01","threeYrPct":"5.60","fiveYrPct":"0.64","tenYrPct":"2.62","sinceInceptionPct":"4.22","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3146","name":"Inter-Term Corp Bond ETF ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.64","prevMonthPct":"-1.28","threeMonthPct":"-0.72","oneYrPct":"3.07","threeYrPct":"5.56","fiveYrPct":"0.64","tenYrPct":"2.58","sinceInceptionPct":"4.21","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V037","ticker":"VTEI","instrumentId":61032094,"shortName":"Int-Term Tax-Ex Bd ETF","longName":"Vanguard Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","cusip":"922907738","IOVTicker":"VTEI.IV","inceptionDate":"2024-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Interm","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk </b>than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 3-10 Year Index in USD","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.99","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.80","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.93"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3143","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"58.37","priceChangeAmount":"0.07","priceChangePct":"0.12","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"58.37","priceChangeAmount":"0.06","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.44","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.40","marketPrice":"-0.40"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"IT Treasury ETF          ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3143","name":"IT Treasury ETF          ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.80","prevMonthPct":"-0.75","threeMonthPct":"-0.72","oneYrPct":"2.09","threeYrPct":"3.61","fiveYrPct":"-0.24","tenYrPct":"1.06","sinceInceptionPct":"2.14","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3143","name":"IT Treasury ETF          ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.77","prevMonthPct":"-0.75","threeMonthPct":"-0.63","oneYrPct":"2.11","threeYrPct":"3.61","fiveYrPct":"-0.24","tenYrPct":"1.06","sinceInceptionPct":"2.14","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3148","ticker":"VMBS","instrumentId":5220606,"shortName":"Mortgage-Backed Sec ETF","longName":"Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF","cusip":"92206C771","IOVTicker":"VMBS.IV","inceptionDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdMrgBkdETF      ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or New York personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by New York and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in New York may have far-reaching impacts on the overall New York municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in New York than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall New York municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P New York AMT-Free Municipal USD10 Million Par Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V046","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"101.64","priceChangeAmount":"0.09","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"101.64","priceChangeAmount":"-0.08","priceChangePct":"-0.08","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.61","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.53","marketPrice":"0.31"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-05-20T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"VG NY Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V046","name":"VG NY Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","calendarYTDPct":"0.35","prevMonthPct":"-1.78","threeMonthPct":"-0.66","oneYrPct":"5.03","sinceInceptionPct":"4.38","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V046","name":"VG NY Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","calendarYTDPct":"0.26","prevMonthPct":"-1.78","threeMonthPct":"-0.67","oneYrPct":"5.14","sinceInceptionPct":"4.49","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"4391","ticker":"VTEB","instrumentId":17756512,"shortName":"Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard Tax-Exempt Bond ETF","cusip":"922907746","IOVTicker":"VTEB.IV","inceptionDate":"2015-08-21T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdMuniBondETF    ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Interm","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund invests in bonds. As a result, the fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF shares typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF shares and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V048","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.27","priceChangeAmount":"0.12","priceChangePct":"0.16","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.30","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.17","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.53","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.32","marketPrice":"-0.30"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-07-07T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Total Treasury ETF       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V048","name":"Total Treasury ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.78","prevMonthPct":"-1.13","threeMonthPct":"-0.74","oneYrPct":"1.98","sinceInceptionPct":"2.24","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V048","name":"Total Treasury ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.78","prevMonthPct":"-1.14","threeMonthPct":"-0.67","oneYrPct":"1.97","sinceInceptionPct":"2.26","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V118","ticker":"VCHY","instrumentId":78276307,"shortName":"VGUSHYCorpBdIdxETF","longName":"Vanguard U.S. High-Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF","cusip":"922020672","IOVTicker":"VCHY.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-06-02T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"High Yield Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities</b>. Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk</b>. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk</b>. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk</b>. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. For example, the market for certain 144A securities may be less active than the market for publicly traded securities. Investing in such securities may heighten this risk for the fund. In addition, liquidity in the corporate bond market may be impacted by overall market conditions or by a decline in the availability of credit.</li><li><b>Call Risk</b>. Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.Index Investing. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 0-5 Year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.98","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.21","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.50"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3365","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"49.77","priceChangeAmount":"-0.01","priceChangePct":"-0.02","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"49.78","priceChangeAmount":"-0.01","priceChangePct":"-0.02","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.44","hasDisclaimer":true,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"G","footnoteText":"DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY INCOME ADJUSTMENT RESULTING FROM CHANGE IN INFLATION RATE"},{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.10","marketPrice":"2.08"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2012-10-12T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"STerm InflatPro Sec ETF  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3365","name":"STerm InflatPro Sec ETF  ","calendarYTDPct":"1.81","prevMonthPct":"0.16","threeMonthPct":"-0.08","oneYrPct":"3.48","threeYrPct":"5.05","fiveYrPct":"3.07","tenYrPct":"3.08","sinceInceptionPct":"2.22","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3365","name":"STerm InflatPro Sec ETF  ","calendarYTDPct":"1.83","prevMonthPct":"0.22","threeMonthPct":"-0.04","oneYrPct":"3.50","threeYrPct":"5.05","fiveYrPct":"3.06","tenYrPct":"3.07","sinceInceptionPct":"2.23","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V049","ticker":"VTP","instrumentId":71007624,"shortName":"Total InflatPro Sec ETF","longName":"Vanguard Total Inflation-Protected Securities ETF","cusip":"922020698","IOVTicker":"VTP.IV","inceptionDate":"2025-07-07T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Inflation-Indexed Securities","category":"Inflation-Protected Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Bond"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate are subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices. This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in an Emerging Markets Bond Fund.</b> The returns of U.S. bonds are less volatile than, and typically are not correlated with, the returns of U.S. and foreign stocks. As a result, many investors invest in bonds and bond funds in an attempt to lower the overall risk of their portfolios. However, this strategy is less likely to be effective when investing in emerging market bonds or in funds that invest primarily in emerging market bonds (such as the fund). The returns of emerging market bonds are more volatile than the returns of U.S. bonds and often have a higher correlation to the returns of stocks. Investors should not expect the fund’s performance, volatility, or level of risk to be similar to that of a U.S. bond fund.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg USD Emerging Markets Government RIC Capped Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.65","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.59"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3820","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"65.90","priceChangeAmount":"0.11","priceChangePct":"0.17","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"65.99","priceChangeAmount":"0.08","priceChangePct":"0.12","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"6.11","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.16","marketPrice":"1.27"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2013-05-31T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Em Mkt Gov Bond ETF      ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3820","name":"Em Mkt Gov Bond ETF      ","calendarYTDPct":"0.43","prevMonthPct":"-1.73","threeMonthPct":"-0.18","oneYrPct":"6.47","threeYrPct":"7.90","fiveYrPct":"1.74","tenYrPct":"3.08","sinceInceptionPct":"3.48","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3820","name":"Em Mkt Gov Bond ETF      ","calendarYTDPct":"0.51","prevMonthPct":"-1.62","threeMonthPct":"-0.22","oneYrPct":"6.54","threeYrPct":"7.78","fiveYrPct":"1.66","tenYrPct":"3.03","sinceInceptionPct":"3.49","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0930","ticker":"EDV","instrumentId":3375219,"shortName":"Ext Duration Treasury ETF","longName":"Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury ETF","cusip":"921910709","IOVTicker":"EDV.IV","inceptionDate":"2007-12-06T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"ExtDurTreasETF      ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. Long Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"2.15","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.96"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0927","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"66.14","priceChangeAmount":"0.34","priceChangePct":"0.52","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"66.18","priceChangeAmount":"0.34","priceChangePct":"0.52","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.63","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-2.23","marketPrice":"-2.10"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2007-04-03T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Long-Term Bond ETF       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0927","name":"Long-Term Bond ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"-2.97","prevMonthPct":"-3.94","threeMonthPct":"-2.35","oneYrPct":"0.34","threeYrPct":"0.91","fiveYrPct":"-5.11","tenYrPct":"0.05","sinceInceptionPct":"3.99","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0927","name":"Long-Term Bond ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"-2.81","prevMonthPct":"-3.90","threeMonthPct":"-2.31","oneYrPct":"0.43","threeYrPct":"0.85","fiveYrPct":"-5.10","tenYrPct":"0.01","sinceInceptionPct":"3.98","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3147","ticker":"VCLT","instrumentId":5220605,"shortName":"Long-Term Corp Bond ETF","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond ETF","cusip":"92206C813","IOVTicker":"VCLT.IV","inceptionDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdLTCrp ETF      ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers.

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk </b>than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P 10+ Year National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V045","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"101.58","priceChangeAmount":"0.09","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"101.73","priceChangeAmount":"-0.05","priceChangePct":"-0.05","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.15","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.44","marketPrice":"0.36"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-05-20T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"VG LT Tax Exempt Bond ETF","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V045","name":"VG LT Tax Exempt Bond ETF","calendarYTDPct":"0.45","prevMonthPct":"-2.32","threeMonthPct":"-0.78","oneYrPct":"7.09","sinceInceptionPct":"5.20","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V045","name":"VG LT Tax Exempt Bond ETF","calendarYTDPct":"0.34","prevMonthPct":"-2.31","threeMonthPct":"-0.79","oneYrPct":"7.25","sinceInceptionPct":"5.30","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3144","ticker":"VGLT","instrumentId":5220602,"shortName":"LT Treasury ETF","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF","cusip":"92206C847","IOVTicker":"VGLT.IV","inceptionDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdLTGov ETF      ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.

The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"Multisector Income Bond Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V047","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"50.84","priceChangeAmount":"0.05","priceChangePct":"0.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"50.97","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.02","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.64","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.84","marketPrice":"1.89"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-06-09T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Multi-Sector Bond ETF    ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V047","name":"Multi-Sector Bond ETF    ","calendarYTDPct":"1.09","prevMonthPct":"-0.52","threeMonthPct":"0.27","oneYrPct":"5.00","sinceInceptionPct":"6.28","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V047","name":"Multi-Sector Bond ETF    ","calendarYTDPct":"1.17","prevMonthPct":"-0.43","threeMonthPct":"0.28","oneYrPct":"5.16","sinceInceptionPct":"6.53","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V072","ticker":"VBCA","instrumentId":76525793,"shortName":"TM 2027 Corp Bond","longName":"Vanguard Target Maturity 2027 Corporate Bond ETF","cusip":"921938700","IOVTicker":"VBCA.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"Target Maturity","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk</b>. The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets</b>. The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk</b>. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk</b>. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk</b>. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Call Risk</b>. Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in a Target Maturity Fund</b>. In general, if held until the planned liquidation date, an investment in the fund may produce returns comparable to a direct investment in a group of bonds of similar maturity and credit quality (e.g., the bonds that make up the target index). However, an investment in the fund will differ from a direct investment in bonds in several ways. Unlike the bonds that make up the target index, which pay regular interest and a fixed amount of principal at maturity, the fund’s distributions and liquidation amount cannot be predicted at the time of investment. Rather, the fund’s income distributions will vary over time. The fund’s income distributions also could occur at a greater (or lesser) rate than the interest payments the fund receives on its bond holdings, which would result in the fund distributing a greater (or lesser) amount to shareholders at liquidation. The rate of the fund’s distributions could adversely affect the tax characterization of your returns on an investment in the fund relative to a direct investment in bonds. Additionally, if the liquidation amount you receive is higher or lower than the amount of your initial investment, you may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes. During the 12 months prior to the planned liquidation date, the fund’s yield generally will tend to move toward prevailing money market rates. As a result, the fund’s yield may be lower than prevailing bond yields and/or the yields of bonds previously held by the fund. This is especially relevant if you purchase shares during the year of the planned liquidation date.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk</b>. The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets</b>. The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk</b>. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk</b>. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk</b>. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Call Risk</b>. Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in a Target Maturity Fund</b>. In general, if held until the planned liquidation date, an investment in the fund may produce returns comparable to a direct investment in a group of bonds of similar maturity and credit quality (e.g., the bonds that make up the target index). However, an investment in the fund will differ from a direct investment in bonds in several ways. Unlike the bonds that make up the target index, which pay regular interest and a fixed amount of principal at maturity, the fund’s distributions and liquidation amount cannot be predicted at the time of investment. Rather, the fund’s income distributions will vary over time. The fund’s income distributions also could occur at a greater (or lesser) rate than the interest payments the fund receives on its bond holdings, which would result in the fund distributing a greater (or lesser) amount to shareholders at liquidation. The rate of the fund’s distributions could adversely affect the tax characterization of your returns on an investment in the fund relative to a direct investment in bonds. Additionally, if the liquidation amount you receive is higher or lower than the amount of your initial investment, you may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes. During the 12 months prior to the planned liquidation date, the fund’s yield generally will tend to move toward prevailing money market rates. As a result, the fund’s yield may be lower than prevailing bond yields and/or the yields of bonds previously held by the fund. This is especially relevant if you purchase shares during the year of the planned liquidation date.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants</b>. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. The fund’s Authorized Participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s Authorized Participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other Authorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"ICE 2029 Maturity US Corporate Constrained Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V074","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.19","priceChangeAmount":"0.04","priceChangePct":"0.05","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"75.27","priceChangeAmount":"0.04","priceChangePct":"0.05","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.78","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"TM 2029 Corp Bond        ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V074","name":"TM 2029 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-0.05","threeMonthPct":"0.31","sinceInceptionPct":"1.02","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V074","name":"TM 2029 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-0.10","threeMonthPct":"0.34","sinceInceptionPct":"1.12","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V075","ticker":"VBCD","instrumentId":76525799,"shortName":"TM 2030 Corp Bond","longName":"Vanguard Target Maturity 2030 Corporate Bond ETF","cusip":"921938874","IOVTicker":"VBCD.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"Target Maturity","customizedStyle":"Bond - Inter-term Investment","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"5","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Intermediate-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":false,"isETF":true,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":true,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"V075"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Inter-term Investment","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Taxable Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3144,"name":"Target Maturity"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":2,"level":"Conservative to Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as conservative to moderate are subject to low-to-moderate fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk</b>. The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets</b>. The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk</b>. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk</b>. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk</b>. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Call Risk</b>. Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in a Target Maturity Fund</b>. In general, if held until the planned liquidation date, an investment in the fund may produce returns comparable to a direct investment in a group of bonds of similar maturity and credit quality (e.g., the bonds that make up the target index). However, an investment in the fund will differ from a direct investment in bonds in several ways. Unlike the bonds that make up the target index, which pay regular interest and a fixed amount of principal at maturity, the fund’s distributions and liquidation amount cannot be predicted at the time of investment. Rather, the fund’s income distributions will vary over time. The fund’s income distributions also could occur at a greater (or lesser) rate than the interest payments the fund receives on its bond holdings, which would result in the fund distributing a greater (or lesser) amount to shareholders at liquidation. The rate of the fund’s distributions could adversely affect the tax characterization of your returns on an investment in the fund relative to a direct investment in bonds. Additionally, if the liquidation amount you receive is higher or lower than the amount of your initial investment, you may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes. During the 12 months prior to the planned liquidation date, the fund’s yield generally will tend to move toward prevailing money market rates. As a result, the fund’s yield may be lower than prevailing bond yields and/or the yields of bonds previously held by the fund. This is especially relevant if you purchase shares during the year of the planned liquidation date.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.&nbsp;</li><li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants</b>. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. The fund’s Authorized Participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s Authorized Participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other Authorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"ICE 2031 Maturity US Corporate Constrained Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V076","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.77","priceChangeAmount":"0.07","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.89","priceChangeAmount":"0.06","priceChangePct":"0.08","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.02","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"TM 2031 Corp Bond        ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V076","name":"TM 2031 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-0.66","threeMonthPct":"-0.31","sinceInceptionPct":"0.52","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V076","name":"TM 2031 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-0.67","threeMonthPct":"-0.30","sinceInceptionPct":"0.59","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V077","ticker":"VBCF","instrumentId":76525798,"shortName":"TM 2032 Corp Bond","longName":"Vanguard Target Maturity 2032 Corporate Bond ETF","cusip":"921938858","IOVTicker":"VBCF.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"Target Maturity","customizedStyle":"Bond - Inter-term Investment","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"5","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Intermediate-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":false,"isETF":true,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":true,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"V077"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Inter-term Investment","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Taxable Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3144,"name":"Target Maturity"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":2,"level":"Conservative to Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as conservative to moderate are subject to low-to-moderate fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk</b>. The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets</b>. The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk</b>. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk</b>. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk</b>. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.&nbsp;</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk</b>. Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in a Target Maturity Fund</b>. In general, if held until the planned liquidation date, an investment in the fund may produce returns comparable to a direct investment in a group of bonds of similar maturity and credit quality (e.g., the bonds that make up the target index). However, an investment in the fund will differ from a direct investment in bonds in several ways. Unlike the bonds that make up the target index, which pay regular interest and a fixed amount of principal at maturity, the fund’s distributions and liquidation amount cannot be predicted at the time of investment. Rather, the fund’s income distributions will vary over time. The fund’s income distributions also could occur at a greater (or lesser) rate than the interest payments the fund receives on its bond holdings, which would result in the fund distributing a greater (or lesser) amount to shareholders at liquidation. The rate of the fund’s distributions could adversely affect the tax characterization of your returns on an investment in the fund relative to a direct investment in bonds. Additionally, if the liquidation amount you receive is higher or lower than the amount of your initial investment, you may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes. During the 12 months prior to the planned liquidation date, the fund’s yield generally will tend to move toward prevailing money market rates. As a result, the fund’s yield may be lower than prevailing bond yields and/or the yields of bonds previously held by the fund. This is especially relevant if you purchase shares during the year of the planned liquidation date.&nbsp;</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.&nbsp;</li>\n<li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li>\n<li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li>\n<li><b>Authorized Participants</b>. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. The fund’s Authorized Participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s Authorized Participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other Authorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V078","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.24","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.18","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.35","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.17","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.29","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"TM 2033 Corp Bond        ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V078","name":"TM 2033 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-1.21","threeMonthPct":"-0.69","sinceInceptionPct":"0.17","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V078","name":"TM 2033 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-1.19","threeMonthPct":"-0.62","sinceInceptionPct":"0.26","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V079","ticker":"VBCH","instrumentId":76525797,"shortName":"TM 2034 Corp Bond","longName":"Vanguard Target Maturity 2034 Corporate Bond ETF","cusip":"921938833","IOVTicker":"VBCH.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"Target Maturity","customizedStyle":"Bond - Inter-term Investment","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"5","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Intermediate-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":false,"isETF":true,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":true,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"V079"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Inter-term Investment","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Taxable Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3144,"name":"Target Maturity"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":2,"level":"Conservative to Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as conservative to moderate are subject to low-to-moderate fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk</b>. The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets</b>. The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk</b>. During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk</b>. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk</b>. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.&nbsp;</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk</b>. Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk</b>. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in a Target Maturity Fund</b>. In general, if held until the planned liquidation date, an investment in the fund may produce returns comparable to a direct investment in a group of bonds of similar maturity and credit quality (e.g., the bonds that make up the target index). However, an investment in the fund will differ from a direct investment in bonds in several ways. Unlike the bonds that make up the target index, which pay regular interest and a fixed amount of principal at maturity, the fund’s distributions and liquidation amount cannot be predicted at the time of investment. Rather, the fund’s income distributions will vary over time. The fund’s income distributions also could occur at a greater (or lesser) rate than the interest payments the fund receives on its bond holdings, which would result in the fund distributing a greater (or lesser) amount to shareholders at liquidation. The rate of the fund’s distributions could adversely affect the tax characterization of your returns on an investment in the fund relative to a direct investment in bonds. Additionally, if the liquidation amount you receive is higher or lower than the amount of your initial investment, you may experience a gain or loss for tax purposes. During the 12 months prior to the planned liquidation date, the fund’s yield generally will tend to move toward prevailing money market rates. As a result, the fund’s yield may be lower than prevailing bond yields and/or the yields of bonds previously held by the fund. This is especially relevant if you purchase shares during the year of the planned liquidation date.&nbsp;</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.&nbsp;</li>\n<li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li>\n<li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li>\n<li><b>Authorized Participants</b>. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. The fund’s Authorized Participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s Authorized Participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other Authorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V080","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"73.97","priceChangeAmount":"0.16","priceChangePct":"0.22","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"74.05","priceChangeAmount":"0.15","priceChangePct":"0.20","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.49","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"TM 2035 Corp Bond        ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V080","name":"TM 2035 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-1.66","threeMonthPct":"-0.91","sinceInceptionPct":"0.04","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V080","name":"TM 2035 Corp Bond        ","prevMonthPct":"-1.69","threeMonthPct":"-0.87","sinceInceptionPct":"0.11","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V081","ticker":"VBCJ","instrumentId":76525801,"shortName":"TM 2036 Corp Bond","longName":"Vanguard Target Maturity 2036 Corporate Bond ETF","cusip":"921938817","IOVTicker":"VBCJ.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"Target Maturity","customizedStyle":"Bond - Long-term Investment","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"6","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Long-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-24T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":false,"isETF":true,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":true,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"V081"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Long-term Investment","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Taxable Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3144,"name":"Target Maturity"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":2,"level":"Conservative to Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as conservative to moderate are subject to low-to-moderate fluctuations in share prices.

subject to low-to-moderate fluctuations in share prices. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors with medium-term investment horizons (4 to 10 years), for those seeking an investment that emphasizes income rather than growth, and for investors who have a low tolerance for the risk of short-term price fluctuations.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index.The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Float Adjusted RIC Capped Index

Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in an underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, an underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated.

Trading of Dividend Appreciation ETF on the NYSE Arca may be halted if NYSE Arca officials deem such action appropriate, if Dividend Appreciation ETF is delisted from the NYSE Arca, or if the activation of marketwide “circuit breakers”&nbsp;halts stock trading generally. The fund’s performance could be hurt by:</p><ul><li><b>Stock market risk: </b>The chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising stock prices and periods of falling stock prices. The fund’s target index may, at times, become focused in stocks of a particular sector, category, or group of companies. Because the fund seeks to track its target index, the fund may underperform the overall stock market.</li><li><b>Investment style risk: </b>The chance that returns from dividend-paying large-capitalization stocks will trail returns from the overall stock market. Specific types of stocks tend to go through cycles of doing better—or worse—than the stock market in general. These periods have, in the past, lasted for as long as several years.</li><li><b>Index concentration risk:&nbsp;</b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Nondiversification risk:</b>&nbsp;By tracking its broad-based index, the fund may become nondiversified as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 solely as a result of an index rebalance or market movement. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, which means their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few stocks or even a single stock and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Index-related risks: </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing, which include passive management risk, tracking error risk, and index provider risk. Passive management risk is the chance that the fund's use of an indexing strategy will negatively impact the fund's performance. Because the fund seeks to track the performance of its target index regardless of how that index is performing, the fund's performance may be lower than it would be if the fund were actively managed. Tracking error risk is the chance that the fund's performance will deviate from the performance of its target index. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. Index provider risk is the chance that the fund will be negatively impacted by changes or errors made by the index provider.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>ESG Investing. </b>As described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the index provider excludes certain securities from the target index based on ESG criteria. As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The index provider’s use of ESG criteria may result in the target index becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, index providers, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The index provider’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, the index provider depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector. </b>As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"FTSE US All Cap Choice Index  ","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.09","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/4393","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"135.28","priceChangeAmount":"-0.47","priceChangePct":"-0.35","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"135.28","priceChangeAmount":"-0.47","priceChangePct":"-0.35","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.86","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"12.44","marketPrice":"12.37"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2018-09-18T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"ESG U.S. Stock ETF       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4393","name":"ESG U.S. Stock ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"9.61","prevMonthPct":"-0.41","threeMonthPct":"5.11","oneYrPct":"18.97","threeYrPct":"18.89","fiveYrPct":"11.31","sinceInceptionPct":"14.45","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4393","name":"ESG U.S. Stock ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"9.66","prevMonthPct":"-0.17","threeMonthPct":"5.19","oneYrPct":"19.07","threeYrPct":"18.94","fiveYrPct":"11.33","sinceInceptionPct":"14.47","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0923","ticker":"VYM","instrumentId":2578799,"shortName":"High Dividend Yield ETF","longName":"Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF","cusip":"921946406","IOVTicker":"VYM.IV","inceptionDate":"2006-11-10T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdHiDivYld       ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market.

Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Dividend Investing.</b> The fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform other funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"FTSE High Dividend Yield Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.81","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.78"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0923","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"165.05","priceChangeAmount":"0.06","priceChangePct":"0.04","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"165.09","priceChangeAmount":"0.12","priceChangePct":"0.07","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.22","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"16.41","marketPrice":"16.43"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2006-11-10T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"High Dividend Yield ETF  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0923","name":"High Dividend Yield ETF  ","calendarYTDPct":"14.17","prevMonthPct":"2.41","threeMonthPct":"3.65","oneYrPct":"23.68","threeYrPct":"16.84","fiveYrPct":"12.19","tenYrPct":"11.61","sinceInceptionPct":"9.42","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0923","name":"High Dividend Yield ETF  ","calendarYTDPct":"14.22","prevMonthPct":"2.49","threeMonthPct":"3.67","oneYrPct":"23.76","threeYrPct":"16.87","fiveYrPct":"12.20","tenYrPct":"11.61","sinceInceptionPct":"9.42","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0967","ticker":"VUG","instrumentId":1097935,"shortName":"Growth ETF","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF","cusip":"922908736","IOVTicker":"VUG.IV","inceptionDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdGrowth         ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market.

Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so.

Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the IT sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the IT sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector. </b>As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Mega Cap Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.98","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.97"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3137","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"279.34","priceChangeAmount":"-0.85","priceChangePct":"-0.30","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"279.40","priceChangeAmount":"-0.74","priceChangePct":"-0.26","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.87","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"11.86","marketPrice":"11.84"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2007-12-17T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Mega Cap ETF             ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3137","name":"Mega Cap ETF             ","calendarYTDPct":"9.30","prevMonthPct":"-0.27","threeMonthPct":"4.16","oneYrPct":"19.74","threeYrPct":"20.46","fiveYrPct":"13.29","tenYrPct":"15.77","sinceInceptionPct":"11.63","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3137","name":"Mega Cap ETF             ","calendarYTDPct":"9.30","prevMonthPct":"-0.21","threeMonthPct":"4.19","oneYrPct":"19.80","threeYrPct":"20.47","fiveYrPct":"13.29","tenYrPct":"15.77","sinceInceptionPct":"11.63","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3138","ticker":"MGK","instrumentId":3382592,"shortName":"Mega Cap Growth ETF","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Growth ETF","cusip":"921910816","IOVTicker":"MGK.IV","inceptionDate":"2007-12-17T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdMegaGro        ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Mega Cap Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.66","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.62"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3139","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"168.30","priceChangeAmount":"0.12","priceChangePct":"0.07","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"168.30","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.08","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.75","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"20.44","marketPrice":"20.43"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2007-12-17T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Mega Cap Value ETF       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3139","name":"Mega Cap Value ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"16.75","prevMonthPct":"-0.20","threeMonthPct":"7.30","oneYrPct":"27.55","threeYrPct":"17.60","fiveYrPct":"12.78","tenYrPct":"12.75","sinceInceptionPct":"9.42","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3139","name":"Mega Cap Value ETF       ","calendarYTDPct":"16.78","prevMonthPct":"-0.15","threeMonthPct":"7.34","oneYrPct":"27.55","threeYrPct":"17.62","fiveYrPct":"12.79","tenYrPct":"12.76","sinceInceptionPct":"9.43","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0970","ticker":"VTI","instrumentId":519348,"shortName":"Total Stock Market ETF","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF","cusip":"922908769","IOVTicker":"VTI.IV","inceptionDate":"2001-05-24T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdVipersTot      ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so.

Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell 1000 Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.78","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.70"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3349","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"113.27","priceChangeAmount":"0.43","priceChangePct":"0.38","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"113.29","priceChangeAmount":"0.47","priceChangePct":"0.42","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.49","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"23.77","marketPrice":"23.76"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Russell 1000 Value ETF   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3349","name":"Russell 1000 Value ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"20.63","prevMonthPct":"3.81","threeMonthPct":"9.25","oneYrPct":"31.10","threeYrPct":"17.82","fiveYrPct":"11.75","tenYrPct":"11.54","sinceInceptionPct":"12.02","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3349","name":"Russell 1000 Value ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"20.62","prevMonthPct":"3.87","threeMonthPct":"9.27","oneYrPct":"31.04","threeYrPct":"17.84","fiveYrPct":"11.76","tenYrPct":"11.54","sinceInceptionPct":"12.02","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3354","ticker":"VTHR","instrumentId":6035826,"shortName":"Russell 3000 ETF","longName":"Vanguard Russell 3000 ETF","cusip":"92206C599","IOVTicker":"VTHR.IV","inceptionDate":"2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdR3000ETF       ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P 500 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.96","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.99"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0968","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"701.77","priceChangeAmount":"-1.96","priceChangePct":"-0.28","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"701.83","priceChangeAmount":"-1.88","priceChangePct":"-0.27","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.00","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"12.61","marketPrice":"12.60"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"S&P 500 ETF              ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0968","name":"S&P 500 ETF              ","calendarYTDPct":"10.12","prevMonthPct":"-0.07","threeMonthPct":"4.19","oneYrPct":"19.53","threeYrPct":"19.29","fiveYrPct":"12.82","tenYrPct":"15.04","sinceInceptionPct":"14.94","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0968","name":"S&P 500 ETF              ","calendarYTDPct":"10.16","prevMonthPct":"-0.02","threeMonthPct":"4.25","oneYrPct":"19.58","threeYrPct":"19.31","fiveYrPct":"12.83","tenYrPct":"15.05","sinceInceptionPct":"14.94","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3341","ticker":"VOOG","instrumentId":6018243,"shortName":"S&P 500 Growth ETF","longName":"Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF","cusip":"921932505","IOVTicker":"VOOG.IV","inceptionDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Vangd500GrowETF     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P 500 Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.77","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.74"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3340","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"229.53","priceChangeAmount":"0.53","priceChangePct":"0.23","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"229.51","priceChangeAmount":"0.48","priceChangePct":"0.21","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.65","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"13.04","marketPrice":"13.03"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"S&P 500 Value ETF        ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3340","name":"S&P 500 Value ETF        ","calendarYTDPct":"10.14","prevMonthPct":"2.00","threeMonthPct":"4.03","oneYrPct":"19.62","threeYrPct":"13.77","fiveYrPct":"11.47","tenYrPct":"11.72","sinceInceptionPct":"12.30","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3340","name":"S&P 500 Value ETF        ","calendarYTDPct":"10.13","prevMonthPct":"2.02","threeMonthPct":"3.99","oneYrPct":"19.52","threeYrPct":"13.76","fiveYrPct":"11.46","tenYrPct":"11.72","sinceInceptionPct":"12.30","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"4419","ticker":"VFMV","instrumentId":27770466,"shortName":"US Minimum Volatility ETF","longName":"Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF","cusip":"921935409","IOVTicker":"VFMV.IV","inceptionDate":"2018-02-13T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanUSMinVolETF      ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Factor Investing.</b> The Fund’s strategy of investing in securities with momentum characteristics may cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The returns of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may be materially lower than those of the broader equity market over extended periods. Stocks that previously exhibited greater momentum than other stocks may not continue to experience positive momentum, and such a change could occur quickly. The Fund may experience losses if momentum behaves differently than predicted. Momentum stocks may also experience more volatility than the market as a whole. In addition, there may be periods when momentum investing is out of favor, and during such periods, the performance of the Fund may suffer.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell 3000 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.37","rSquaredPrimary":"0.79","betaBroadBased":"1.37","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.79"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/4418","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"229.02","priceChangeAmount":"-3.33","priceChangePct":"-1.43","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"229.19","priceChangeAmount":"-3.33","priceChangePct":"-1.43","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.60","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"20.16","marketPrice":"20.21"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2018-02-13T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"US Momentum Factor ETF   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4418","name":"US Momentum Factor ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"17.33","prevMonthPct":"-10.36","threeMonthPct":"0.14","oneYrPct":"28.83","threeYrPct":"22.29","fiveYrPct":"12.82","sinceInceptionPct":"14.87","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4418","name":"US Momentum Factor ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"17.34","prevMonthPct":"-10.34","threeMonthPct":"0.13","oneYrPct":"28.85","threeYrPct":"22.30","fiveYrPct":"12.83","sinceInceptionPct":"14.87","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"4421","ticker":"VFMF","instrumentId":27770464,"shortName":"US Multifactor ETF","longName":"Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF","cusip":"921935607","IOVTicker":"VFMF.IV","inceptionDate":"2018-02-13T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanUSMultiFacETF    ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Factor Investing.</b> The fund’s strategy of investing in securities with value characteristics may cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The returns of the securities held in the fund’s portfolio may be materially lower than those of the broader equity market over extended periods. Value stocks are subject to the risk that their valuations may not improve, and they may not reach their expected full market value. In addition, there may be periods when the value style of investing is out of favor, and during such periods, the performance of the fund may suffer.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell 3000 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"0.88","rSquaredPrimary":"0.52","betaBroadBased":"0.88","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.52"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/4416","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"162.06","priceChangeAmount":"-0.06","priceChangePct":"-0.04","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"162.09","priceChangeAmount":"-0.17","priceChangePct":"-0.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.82","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"23.32","marketPrice":"23.29"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2018-02-13T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"US Value Factor ETF      ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4416","name":"US Value Factor ETF      ","calendarYTDPct":"19.41","prevMonthPct":"5.83","threeMonthPct":"9.34","oneYrPct":"35.39","threeYrPct":"16.23","fiveYrPct":"12.43","sinceInceptionPct":"11.59","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4416","name":"US Value Factor ETF      ","calendarYTDPct":"19.47","prevMonthPct":"5.81","threeMonthPct":"9.36","oneYrPct":"35.61","threeYrPct":"16.25","fiveYrPct":"12.46","sinceInceptionPct":"11.60","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V053","ticker":"VDIG","instrumentId":73579481,"shortName":"VG WMC Div Growth Act ETF","longName":"Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF","cusip":"921938403","IOVTicker":"VDIG.IV","inceptionDate":"2025-11-14T00:00:00-05:00","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Small Cap Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.12","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.76"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0969","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"302.80","priceChangeAmount":"-2.01","priceChangePct":"-0.66","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"302.90","priceChangeAmount":"-1.86","priceChangePct":"-0.61","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.30","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"18.21","marketPrice":"18.23"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Small-Cap ETF            ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0969","name":"Small-Cap ETF            ","calendarYTDPct":"15.19","prevMonthPct":"-2.58","threeMonthPct":"4.05","oneYrPct":"23.85","threeYrPct":"13.86","fiveYrPct":"7.44","tenYrPct":"10.90","sinceInceptionPct":"9.70","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0969","name":"Small-Cap ETF            ","calendarYTDPct":"15.20","prevMonthPct":"-2.63","threeMonthPct":"4.09","oneYrPct":"23.84","threeYrPct":"13.87","fiveYrPct":"7.44","tenYrPct":"10.91","sinceInceptionPct":"9.70","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0938","ticker":"VBK","instrumentId":1097924,"shortName":"Small-Cap Growth ETF","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Small-Cap Growth ETF","cusip":"922908595","IOVTicker":"VBK.IV","inceptionDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdSmCapGrth      ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Small Cap Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.96","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.64"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0937","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"248.42","priceChangeAmount":"-0.77","priceChangePct":"-0.31","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"248.44","priceChangeAmount":"-0.74","priceChangePct":"-0.30","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.91","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"18.49","marketPrice":"18.52"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Small-Cap Value ETF      ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0937","name":"Small-Cap Value ETF      ","calendarYTDPct":"16.67","prevMonthPct":"0.72","threeMonthPct":"5.72","oneYrPct":"25.75","threeYrPct":"14.32","fiveYrPct":"9.75","tenYrPct":"10.57","sinceInceptionPct":"9.51","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0937","name":"Small-Cap Value ETF      ","calendarYTDPct":"16.70","prevMonthPct":"0.67","threeMonthPct":"5.73","oneYrPct":"25.83","threeYrPct":"14.32","fiveYrPct":"9.76","tenYrPct":"10.57","sinceInceptionPct":"9.51","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3351","ticker":"VTWO","instrumentId":6035829,"shortName":"Russell 2000 ETF","longName":"Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF","cusip":"92206C664","IOVTicker":"VTWO.IV","inceptionDate":"2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdR2000ETF       ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Financials Sector. </b>As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the financials sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the financials sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell 2000 Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.10","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.60"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3352","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"197.61","priceChangeAmount":"-0.78","priceChangePct":"-0.39","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"197.75","priceChangeAmount":"-0.63","priceChangePct":"-0.32","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.86","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"24.55","marketPrice":"24.56"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Russell 2000 Value ETF   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3352","name":"Russell 2000 Value ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"22.99","prevMonthPct":"0.00","threeMonthPct":"6.87","oneYrPct":"40.51","threeYrPct":"15.85","fiveYrPct":"8.99","tenYrPct":"10.28","sinceInceptionPct":"10.60","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3352","name":"Russell 2000 Value ETF   ","calendarYTDPct":"22.88","prevMonthPct":"-0.18","threeMonthPct":"6.98","oneYrPct":"40.62","threeYrPct":"15.85","fiveYrPct":"8.99","tenYrPct":"10.28","sinceInceptionPct":"10.60","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3342","ticker":"IVOO","instrumentId":6018242,"shortName":"S&P Mid-Cap 400 ETF","longName":"Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 ETF","cusip":"921932885","IOVTicker":"IVOO.IV","inceptionDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdMdCp400ETF     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P MidCap 400 Growth Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.06","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.74"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3343","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"142.39","priceChangeAmount":"-1.40","priceChangePct":"-0.97","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"142.38","priceChangeAmount":"-1.54","priceChangePct":"-1.07","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.58","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"18.35","marketPrice":"18.45"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"S&P Mid-Cap 400 Gro ETF  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3343","name":"S&P Mid-Cap 400 Gro ETF  ","calendarYTDPct":"15.82","prevMonthPct":"-4.69","threeMonthPct":"3.12","oneYrPct":"21.19","threeYrPct":"13.83","fiveYrPct":"7.47","tenYrPct":"10.81","sinceInceptionPct":"12.31","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3343","name":"S&P Mid-Cap 400 Gro ETF  ","calendarYTDPct":"15.87","prevMonthPct":"-4.80","threeMonthPct":"3.23","oneYrPct":"21.25","threeYrPct":"13.83","fiveYrPct":"7.46","tenYrPct":"10.81","sinceInceptionPct":"12.31","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3344","ticker":"IVOV","instrumentId":6018240,"shortName":"S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF","longName":"Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF","cusip":"921932844","IOVTicker":"IVOV.IV","inceptionDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdMC400VlETF     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P SmallCap 600 Growth Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.11","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.60"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3347","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"148.89","priceChangeAmount":"-0.59","priceChangePct":"-0.39","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"149.01","priceChangeAmount":"-0.57","priceChangePct":"-0.38","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.82","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"23.18","marketPrice":"23.27"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"S&P Small-Cap 600 Gro ETF","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3347","name":"S&P Small-Cap 600 Gro ETF","calendarYTDPct":"22.82","prevMonthPct":"-3.28","threeMonthPct":"7.09","oneYrPct":"30.32","threeYrPct":"13.80","fiveYrPct":"6.54","tenYrPct":"10.98","sinceInceptionPct":"12.92","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3347","name":"S&P Small-Cap 600 Gro ETF","calendarYTDPct":"22.74","prevMonthPct":"-3.30","threeMonthPct":"7.02","oneYrPct":"30.18","threeYrPct":"13.75","fiveYrPct":"6.54","tenYrPct":"10.97","sinceInceptionPct":"12.91","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"3346","ticker":"VIOV","instrumentId":6018238,"shortName":"S&P Small-Cap 600 Val ETF","longName":"Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF","cusip":"921932778","IOVTicker":"VIOV.IV","inceptionDate":"2010-09-07T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdSC600VlETF     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds. </b>The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Communication Services Sector. </b>Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the communication services sector, its performance will be impacted by the general condition of the sector. Companies in the communication services sector can be negatively affected by competition, current technology becoming obsolete, changing government regulations, shifts in consumer preference or spending, and/or security risks.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds. </b>The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Energy Sector. </b>Due to the Fund’s heavy investment in companies within the energy sector, its performance will be impacted by the general condition of the sector. Companies in the energy sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including fluctuations in the prices of oil, gas, and other commodities, as well as changes in supply and demand for energy resources. Operational risks such as exploration and production costs and the success or failure of exploration efforts also play a role. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences, economic factors such as rising inflation or unemployment, and/or increased competition can impact the sector. Government regulations, changes in policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), relationships among OPEC members and between OPEC and oil-importing nations, energy transition efforts, and/or environmental litigation further contribute to the sector’s volatility.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced U.S. Investable Market Energy 25/50 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"-0.01","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0951","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"177.92","priceChangeAmount":"-1.60","priceChangePct":"-0.89","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"177.87","priceChangeAmount":"-1.71","priceChangePct":"-0.95","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.79","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"43.06","marketPrice":"43.02"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-09-23T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Energy ETF               ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0951","name":"Energy ETF               ","calendarYTDPct":"35.06","prevMonthPct":"11.75","threeMonthPct":"-0.23","oneYrPct":"41.16","threeYrPct":"14.59","fiveYrPct":"23.63","tenYrPct":"9.80","sinceInceptionPct":"8.43","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0951","name":"Energy ETF               ","calendarYTDPct":"35.06","prevMonthPct":"11.88","threeMonthPct":"-0.27","oneYrPct":"41.13","threeYrPct":"14.60","fiveYrPct":"23.63","tenYrPct":"9.79","sinceInceptionPct":"8.43","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0957","ticker":"VFH","instrumentId":1097930,"shortName":"Financials ETF","longName":"Vanguard Financials ETF","cusip":"92204A405","IOVTicker":"VFH.IV","inceptionDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdFnl            ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Health Care Sector. </b>Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the health care sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the health care sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including rising costs of medical products and services, the rapid speed at which many health care products and services become obsolete, the possibility that regulatory approvals (which often entail lengthy application and testing procedures) will not be granted for new drugs and medical products, labor shortages, and/or litigation and product liability claims. These companies also rely on significant investments in research and development, leading to patented intellectual property. Expiring patents can impact a company’s future profitability. Government regulation and restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses can also impact the sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li><li><b>Nondiversification risk:</b>&nbsp;The chance that the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of relatively few securities. The fund is considered nondiversified, which means that it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of particular issuers as compared with diversified mutual funds.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced U.S. Investable Market Health Care 25/50 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.50","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.23"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0956","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"327.39","priceChangeAmount":"-0.26","priceChangePct":"-0.08","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"327.49","priceChangeAmount":"-0.21","priceChangePct":"-0.06","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.30","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"14.58","marketPrice":"14.58"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Health Care ETF          ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0956","name":"Health Care ETF          ","calendarYTDPct":"6.64","prevMonthPct":"1.85","threeMonthPct":"12.20","oneYrPct":"28.40","threeYrPct":"8.87","fiveYrPct":"5.06","tenYrPct":"9.89","sinceInceptionPct":"9.84","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0956","name":"Health Care ETF          ","calendarYTDPct":"6.65","prevMonthPct":"1.94","threeMonthPct":"12.26","oneYrPct":"28.41","threeYrPct":"8.88","fiveYrPct":"5.06","tenYrPct":"9.90","sinceInceptionPct":"9.84","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0953","ticker":"VIS","instrumentId":1352804,"shortName":"Industrials ETF","longName":"Vanguard Industrials ETF","cusip":"92204A603","IOVTicker":"VIS.IV","inceptionDate":"2004-09-23T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdIndl           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds. </b>The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Materials Sector. </b>Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the materials sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the materials sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including the volatility of commodity prices, exchange rates, and/or depletion of resources. Economic factors, government regulation, and litigation including liabilities from environmental damage can also cause sector-wide harm.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced U.S. Investable Market Materials 25/50 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.78","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.39"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0952","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"239.41","priceChangeAmount":"-0.08","priceChangePct":"-0.03","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"239.35","priceChangeAmount":"-0.32","priceChangePct":"-0.13","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.38","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"16.21","marketPrice":"16.14"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-01-26T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Materials ETF            ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0952","name":"Materials ETF            ","calendarYTDPct":"8.23","prevMonthPct":"-2.61","threeMonthPct":"-3.68","oneYrPct":"16.11","threeYrPct":"7.40","fiveYrPct":"5.78","tenYrPct":"9.45","sinceInceptionPct":"8.94","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0952","name":"Materials ETF            ","calendarYTDPct":"8.15","prevMonthPct":"-2.59","threeMonthPct":"-3.73","oneYrPct":"16.11","threeYrPct":"7.38","fiveYrPct":"5.77","tenYrPct":"9.45","sinceInceptionPct":"8.94","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0986","ticker":"VNQ","instrumentId":1352806,"shortName":"Real Estate ETF","longName":"Vanguard Real Estate ETF","cusip":"922908553","IOVTicker":"VNQ.IV","inceptionDate":"2004-09-23T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangdReit           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Real Estate Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in the real estate sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the real estate sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, supply and demand for properties, changes in interest rates, general or local economic conditions, the strength of specific industries that rent properties, and/or regulatory changes. Real estate companies might be heavily focused on one geographic market, which could affect those companies more than companies with greater geographic diversification. Real estate companies may rely on leverage, which, while used to help magnify returns, also has the negative effect of magnifying losses. In addition, the real estate industry historically has been sensitive to economic downturns and other events that limit demand for real estate, which would adversely impact the value of real estate investments.</li><li><b>Investing in REITs.</b> In addition to the risks associated with the real estate sector, the fund’s investments in equity REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties they own. An individual REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns and on how well the REIT manages its properties. Interest rate increases can make it more difficult and costly to acquire financing, which could restrict cash flows and negatively affect their operations and values. During periods of rising interest rates, REIT stock prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. In addition, unlike corporations, REITs do not have to pay income taxes if they meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements. Loss of IRS status as a qualified REIT would negatively impact the REIT’s overall investment returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds. </b>The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Utilities Sector. </b>Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the utilities sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the utilities sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including commodity price volatility and competition. Liabilities from natural disasters, such as wildfires, and other environmental factors also can negatively affect the sector. Lastly, government regulation can cause sector-wide challenges.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>Vanguard ETF shares (“ETF shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced U.S. Investable Market Utilities 25/50 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b>&nbsp;The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets.

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk</b>. The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets</b>. The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap)</b>.

Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing</b>. The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so.

The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P Developed Ex-U.S. LargeMidCap Growth (USD) NTR","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Net"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V071","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"81.70","priceChangeAmount":"-0.52","priceChangePct":"-0.63","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"81.81","priceChangeAmount":"-0.50","priceChangePct":"-0.61","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2026-04-14T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USGrthIdxETF","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V071","name":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USGrthIdxETF","prevMonthPct":"-2.66","threeMonthPct":"5.30","sinceInceptionPct":"5.75","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V071","name":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USGrthIdxETF","prevMonthPct":"-2.98","threeMonthPct":"4.71","sinceInceptionPct":"5.62","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V070","ticker":"VDV","instrumentId":77045214,"shortName":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USValIndxETF","longName":"Vanguard Developed Markets ex-US Value Index ETF","cusip":"921910675","IOVTicker":"VDV.IV","inceptionDate":"2026-04-14T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Foreign Large Value","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-04-14T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":false,"isETF":true,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":true,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"V070"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1209,"name":"Foreign Large Value"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk</b>. The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets</b>. The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap)</b>. Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing</b>. The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations never improve or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing</b>. The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk</b>. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading</b>. The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants</b>. Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P Developed Ex-U.S. LargeMidCap Value (USD) NTR","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Net"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V070","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"79.00","priceChangeAmount":"-0.45","priceChangePct":"-0.57","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"market":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"79.35","priceChangeAmount":"-0.42","priceChangePct":"-0.53","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2026-04-14T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USValIndxETF","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V070","name":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USValIndxETF","prevMonthPct":"1.57","threeMonthPct":"3.26","sinceInceptionPct":"3.56","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false},"marketPriceFundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V070","name":"VGDvlpdMktEx-USValIndxETF","prevMonthPct":"1.68","threeMonthPct":"3.17","sinceInceptionPct":"3.84","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V051","ticker":"VEXC","instrumentId":72761117,"shortName":"EM ex-China ETF","longName":"Vanguard Emerging Markets ex-China ETF","cusip":"921910683","IOVTicker":"VEXC.IV","inceptionDate":"2025-09-30T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Diversified Emerging Markets","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0700","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2025-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":false,"isETF":true,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":true,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"V051"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1201,"name":"Diversified Emerging Markets"}},"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets. </b>Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets.

To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets. </b>Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk. </b>The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Ex-China Investing. </b>The index provider excludes certain stocks from the target index based on its own assessment of whether the issuer is a Chinese company. The index provider relies on a proprietary method to determine whether an issuer meets its specified criteria to be defined as a Chinese company; however, the index provider’s criteria may differ from other assessments of what it means for an issuer to be a Chinese company. Additionally, the target index is a market-capitalization weighted index, and its exclusion of Chinese companies causes the fund to invest more heavily in stocks from other emerging markets, thereby increasing the fund’s weighting in fewer markets. As a result, the fund’s investment performance may be impacted by the economic, political, and social conditions in those markets. Lastly, though the target index’s methodology does not include Chinese companies, the target index, and therefore the fund, may have significant exposure to countries that could be materially impacted politically, economically, or otherwise by China. For example, the fund has significant investments in Taiwan that are subject to legal, regulatory, political, currency and economic risks which may be heightened by Taiwan’s geographic proximity to and ongoing geopolitical tensions with China.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap.

Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices.

As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The index provider’s use of ESG criteria may result in the target index becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, index providers, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The index provider’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, the index provider depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets. </b>Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets. </b>Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets.

Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China. </b>The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets, Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets.

If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Financials Sector. </b>As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the financials sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the financials sector.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading. </b>The fund’s ETF shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants. </b>Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US Choice Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US

fluctuations in share prices. The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings.

fluctuations in share prices. The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Developed ex US Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US

Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under Investing in F<b>oreign Markets</b>,<b> Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets.

Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

fluctuations in share prices. The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced European Stock Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Real Estate Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in the real estate sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the real estate sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, supply and demand for properties, changes in interest rates, general or local economic conditions, the strength of specific industries that rent properties, and/or regulatory changes. Real estate companies might be heavily focused on one geographic market, which could affect those companies more than companies with greater geographic diversification. Real estate companies may rely on leverage, which, while used to help magnify returns, also has the negative effect of magnifying losses. In addition, the real estate industry historically has been sensitive to economic downturns and other events that limit demand for real estate, which would adversely impact the value of real estate investments.</li><li><b>Investing in REITs.</b> In addition to the risks associated with the real estate sector, the fund’s investments in equity REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties they own. An individual REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns and on how well the REIT manages its properties. Interest rate increases can make it more difficult and costly to acquire financing, which could restrict cash flows and negatively affect their operations and values. During periods of rising interest rates, REIT stock prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. In addition, unlike corporations, REITs do not have to pay income taxes if they meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements. Loss of IRS status as a qualified REIT would negatively impact the REIT’s overall investment returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P Global ex U.S. Property Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Dividend Investing.</b> The fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform other funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities.

Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund.

Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under Investing in <b>Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Financials Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the financials sector made up a significant portion of the Target index.

fluctuations in share prices. The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets,</b> <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>ETF Share Trading.</b> Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.</li><li><b>Authorized Participants.</b> Only authorized participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants. The fund’s authorized participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the fund’s authorized participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the fund and no other authorized participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the fund, the fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or

The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund invests in money market instruments, which are high quality, short-term debt securities. As a result, the fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Stable NAV. </b>There can be no assurance that the fund will be successful in maintaining a stable NAV. A wide variety of factors, such as significant market volatility, very low or negative interest rates, periods of high redemption activity, or other factors could affect the fund’s ability to maintain a stable NAV.</li><li><b>Money Market funds and Interest Rates. </b>In general, the prices of money market instruments are less sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of longer-term debt securities. However, money market fund income is based on short-term interest rates, which means the fund’s income may fluctuate significantly over short periods and may decline during periods of falling interest rates. In addition, interest rate changes could have unpredictable impacts on the overall market, which could negatively impact the fund. For example, the fund may be subject to loss if interest rates increase substantially and/or rapidly. Depending on the duration and severity, a period of low or negative interest rates could prevent the fund from, among other things, providing a positive yield to its shareholders, paying expenses out of current income, and/or achieving its investment objective, including maintaining a stable NAV of $1.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Repurchase Agreements. </b>The fund invests in repurchase agreements, which are agreements under which the fund acquires a security from a seller while simultaneously agreeing to resell the security to the seller at an agreed-upon price on a specific date. If the seller does not fulfill its obligation, the fund could lose money, suffer delays, or incur costs arising from holding or selling the security.</li><li><b>Variable and Floating Rate Securities. </b>The fund may invest in securities that pay variable or floating rates of interest. At any given time, the current interest rate of a variable or floating rate security may not accurately reflect current market interest rates, or may yield less than is appropriate to compensate the investor for the issuer’s current credit quality. As a result, the value of the fund’s investments in such securities is subject to decline. In addition, an active market for variable and floating rate securities may not always exist at the time the fund wishes to dispose of them.</li><li><b>Active Management. </b>The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Industry Concentration. </b>The fund concentrates its investments in securities of issuers in the financial services industry. As a result, the fund’s performance depends to a greater extent on the overall condition of, and is more susceptible to events affecting, this industry.</li></ul>"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0066","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"1.00","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"dailyMarketValue":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"1.0002","priceChangeAmount":"0.0000","priceChangePct":"0.00"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-21T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.63","compoundYieldPct":"3.69","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"C","footnoteText":"AVERAGE ANNUALIZED INCOME DIVIDEND OVER THE PAST 7 DAYS"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.35"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1989-10-03T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Cash Res Fed MM Adm      ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0066","name":"Cash Res Fed MM Adm      ","calendarYTDPct":"2.11","prevMonthPct":"0.31","threeMonthPct":"0.91","oneYrPct":"3.84","threeYrPct":"4.62","fiveYrPct":"3.64","tenYrPct":"2.44","sinceInceptionPct":"3.07","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0033","ticker":"VMFXX","instrumentId":140467,"shortName":"Federal Money Mkt Fund","longName":"Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund","cusip":"922906300","inceptionDate":"1981-07-13T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangFdl             ","style":"Money Market Funds","type":"Money Market","category":"Taxable Money Market","customizedStyle":"Money Market","secDesignation":"GOVT","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1100","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2025-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":true,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0033"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Money Market","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":4,"name":"Money Market Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":41,"name":"Money Market"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":4101,"name":"Taxable Money Market"}},"largeTransactionAmount":100000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":100000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":1,"level":"Conservative","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds are classified as conservative if their share prices are expected to remain stable or to fluctuate only slightly.

Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund invests in money market instruments, which are high quality, short-term debt securities. As a result, the fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b>&nbsp;than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Stable NAV.</b> There can be no assurance that the fund will be successful in maintaining a stable NAV. A wide variety of factors, such as significant market volatility, very low or negative interest rates, periods of high redemption activity, or other factors could affect the fund’s ability to maintain a stable NAV.</li><li><b>Money Market funds and Interest Rates.</b> In general, the prices of money market instruments are less sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of longer-term debt securities. However, money market fund income is based on short-term interest rates, which means the fund’s income may fluctuate significantly over short periods and may decline during periods of falling interest rates. In addition, interest rate changes could have unpredictable impacts on the overall market, which could negatively impact the fund. For example, the fund may be subject to loss if interest rates increase substantially and/or rapidly. Depending on the duration and severity, a period of low or negative interest rates could prevent the fund from, among other things, providing a positive yield to its shareholders, paying expenses out of current income, and/or achieving its investment objective, including maintaining a stable NAV of $1.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Structured Products.</b> Certain municipal securities offer unique features or are structured to meet certain demands in the municipal bond market, such as the demand for short-term tax-exempt securities. These investments may subject the fund to unique risks, which will vary widely depending on overall conditions in the municipal bond market, the complexity of the structure and/or features, and other factors. In general, these investments tend to carry a higher degree of Credit Risk than traditional municipal bonds and may be difficult for the fund to value or sell (see Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk). In unexpected circumstances, investing in structured products could result in a loss to the fund and/or a distribution of taxable income to shareholders.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by California and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in California may have far-reaching impacts on the overall California municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in California than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall California municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0062","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"1.00","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"dailyMarketValue":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"1.0003","priceChangeAmount":"0.0000","priceChangePct":"0.00"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-21T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.01","compoundYieldPct":"2.03","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"C","footnoteText":"AVERAGE ANNUALIZED INCOME DIVIDEND OVER THE PAST 7 DAYS"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.24"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1987-06-01T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"California Muni Money Mkt","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0062","name":"California Muni Money Mkt","calendarYTDPct":"1.12","prevMonthPct":"0.17","threeMonthPct":"0.51","oneYrPct":"2.05","threeYrPct":"2.42","fiveYrPct":"1.92","tenYrPct":"1.33","sinceInceptionPct":"2.09","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0045","ticker":"VMSXX","instrumentId":159261,"shortName":"Municipal Money Mkt Fund","longName":"Vanguard Municipal Money Market Fund","cusip":"922907506","inceptionDate":"1980-06-10T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VangMB              ","style":"Money Market Funds","type":"Money Market","category":"Muni National Money Market","customizedStyle":"Money Market","secDesignation":"RETL","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1100","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":true,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":false,"isTaxExempt":true,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":true,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0045"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Money Market","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":4,"name":"Money Market Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":42,"name":"Money Market"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":4201,"name":"Muni National Money Market"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"N/A","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":1,"level":"Conservative","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds are classified as conservative if their share prices are expected to remain stable or to fluctuate only slightly.

Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund invests in money market instruments, which are high quality, short-term debt securities. As a result, the fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Stable NAV.</b> There can be no assurance that the fund will be successful in maintaining a stable NAV. A wide variety of factors, such as significant market volatility, very low or negative interest rates, periods of high redemption activity, or other factors could affect the fund’s ability to maintain a stable NAV.</li><li><b>Money Market funds and Interest Rates.</b> In general, the prices of money market instruments are less sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of longer-term debt securities. However, money market fund income is based on short-term interest rates, which means the fund’s income may fluctuate significantly over short periods and may decline during periods of falling interest rates. In addition, interest rate changes could have unpredictable impacts on the overall market, which could negatively impact the fund. For example, the fund may be subject to loss if interest rates increase substantially and/or rapidly. Depending on the duration and severity, a period of low or negative interest rates could prevent the fund from, among other things, providing a positive yield to its shareholders, paying expenses out of current income, and/or achieving its investment objective, including maintaining a stable NAV of $1.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Structured Products.</b> Certain municipal securities offer unique features or are structured to meet certain demands in the municipal bond market, such as the demand for short-term tax-exempt securities. These investments may subject the fund to unique risks, which will vary widely depending on overall conditions in the municipal bond market, the complexity of the structure and/or features, and other factors. In general, these investments tend to carry a higher degree of <b>Credit Risk </b>than traditional municipal bonds and may be difficult for the fund to value or sell (see <b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk</b>). In unexpected circumstances, investing in structured products could result in a loss to the fund and/or a distribution of taxable income to shareholders.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by New York and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in New York may have far-reaching impacts on the overall New York municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in New York than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall New York municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0163","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"1.00","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"},"dailyMarketValue":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"1.0001","priceChangeAmount":"0.0000","priceChangePct":"0.00"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-21T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.30","compoundYieldPct":"2.32","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"C","footnoteText":"AVERAGE ANNUALIZED INCOME DIVIDEND OVER THE PAST 7 DAYS"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.44"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1997-09-03T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"New York Muni Money Mkt  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0163","name":"New York Muni Money Mkt  ","calendarYTDPct":"1.30","prevMonthPct":"0.19","threeMonthPct":"0.57","oneYrPct":"2.42","threeYrPct":"2.87","fiveYrPct":"2.27","tenYrPct":"1.53","sinceInceptionPct":"1.53","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5132","ticker":"VBIRX","instrumentId":173644,"shortName":"Short-Term Bond Index Adm","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921937702","inceptionDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STBondAdml          ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.39","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.86"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/5132","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.15","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.41","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.75"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Bond Index Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"5132","name":"Short-Term Bond Index Adm","calendarYTDPct":"0.39","prevMonthPct":"-0.14","threeMonthPct":"0.04","oneYrPct":"2.94","threeYrPct":"4.47","fiveYrPct":"1.58","tenYrPct":"1.88","sinceInceptionPct":"2.65","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0733","ticker":"VBIPX","instrumentId":7532424,"shortName":"S-T Bond Idx Inst Plus","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund Institutional Plus","cusip":"921937769","inceptionDate":"2011-09-29T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STBondInstlPl       ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.39","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.86"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0733","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.15","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.45","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.78"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2011-09-29T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"S-T Bond Idx Inst Plus   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0733","name":"S-T Bond Idx Inst Plus   ","calendarYTDPct":"0.41","prevMonthPct":"-0.14","threeMonthPct":"0.05","oneYrPct":"2.98","threeYrPct":"4.50","fiveYrPct":"1.61","tenYrPct":"1.91","sinceInceptionPct":"1.81","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0732","ticker":"VBITX","instrumentId":7532425,"shortName":"S-Term Bond Index Inst","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"921937777","inceptionDate":"2011-09-27T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STBondInstl         ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1645","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"26.21","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.08","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.84","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.22"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Corp Bnd Ix Is","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1645","name":"Short-Term Corp Bnd Ix Is","calendarYTDPct":"0.83","prevMonthPct":"-0.13","threeMonthPct":"0.31","oneYrPct":"3.60","threeYrPct":"5.40","fiveYrPct":"2.30","tenYrPct":"2.63","sinceInceptionPct":"2.92","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0049","ticker":"VSGBX","instrumentId":140327,"shortName":"Short-Term Federal Inv","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922031604","inceptionDate":"1987-12-31T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STFed               ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short Government","customizedStyle":"Bond - Short-term Government","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"1","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Short-term Treasury","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.2000","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-05-28T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0049","admiralFundId":"0549"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Short-term Government","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Short-Term Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3102,"name":"Short Government"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"2000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":1,"level":"Conservative","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds are classified as conservative if their share prices are expected to remain stable or to fluctuate only slightly.

There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.89","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"0.33","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.85"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0049","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.20","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.09","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.05"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1987-12-31T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Federal Inv   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0049","name":"Short-Term Federal Inv   ","calendarYTDPct":"0.68","prevMonthPct":"-0.05","threeMonthPct":"0.01","oneYrPct":"3.19","threeYrPct":"4.49","fiveYrPct":"1.58","tenYrPct":"1.77","sinceInceptionPct":"4.20","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0549","ticker":"VSGDX","instrumentId":519275,"shortName":"Short-Term Federal Adm","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922031844","inceptionDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STFedAdml           ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.89","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"0.33","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.85"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0549","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.20","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.19","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.11"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Federal Adm   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0549","name":"Short-Term Federal Adm   ","calendarYTDPct":"0.74","prevMonthPct":"-0.04","threeMonthPct":"0.03","oneYrPct":"3.29","threeYrPct":"4.60","fiveYrPct":"1.68","tenYrPct":"1.87","sinceInceptionPct":"2.81","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0039","ticker":"VFSTX","instrumentId":140325,"shortName":"S-T Investment-Grade Inv","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922031406","inceptionDate":"1982-10-29T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STIGrade            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Credit Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.41","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.92"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0858","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.33","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.88","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.27"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1997-09-30T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Invest-Gr Inst","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0858","name":"Short-Term Invest-Gr Inst","calendarYTDPct":"0.86","prevMonthPct":"-0.17","threeMonthPct":"0.25","oneYrPct":"3.62","threeYrPct":"5.49","fiveYrPct":"2.36","tenYrPct":"2.59","sinceInceptionPct":"3.74","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0032","ticker":"VFISX","instrumentId":140328,"shortName":"Short-Term Treasury Inv","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922031703","inceptionDate":"1991-10-28T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STTsry              ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Treasury Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.84","rSquaredPrimary":"0.99","betaBroadBased":"0.31","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.81"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0532","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"9.80","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.24","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.07"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-02-13T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Short-Term Treasury Adm  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0532","name":"Short-Term Treasury Adm  ","calendarYTDPct":"0.69","prevMonthPct":"0.04","threeMonthPct":"0.18","oneYrPct":"3.04","threeYrPct":"4.25","fiveYrPct":"1.59","tenYrPct":"1.68","sinceInceptionPct":"2.59","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1942","ticker":"VSBSX","instrumentId":5220593,"shortName":"ST Treasury Index Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92206C300","inceptionDate":"2009-12-28T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"STGovIxAdm          ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Keep in mind that investments that offer stability of principal typically are the most vulnerable to income risk—the possibility that the income from the investment will fluctuate over brief periods—and tend to produce lower long-term returns than riskier assets. Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bellwethers: 1 Year Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.97","rSquaredPrimary":"0.76","betaBroadBased":"0.10","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.69"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1492","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.01","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.33","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.20"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2015-02-24T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"UltraShortTerm Bond Inv  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1492","name":"UltraShortTerm Bond Inv  ","calendarYTDPct":"1.93","prevMonthPct":"0.35","threeMonthPct":"0.96","oneYrPct":"4.17","threeYrPct":"5.10","fiveYrPct":"3.41","tenYrPct":"2.62","sinceInceptionPct":"2.39","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0592","ticker":"VUSFX","instrumentId":15657697,"shortName":"UltraShortTerm Bond Adm","longName":"Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922031711","inceptionDate":"2015-02-24T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"UltSTBdAdm          ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Short-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.01","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.01","rSquaredBroadBased":"1.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1320","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"8.87","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.23","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.76","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.14"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2016-03-28T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Core Bond Fund Investor  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1320","name":"Core Bond Fund Investor  ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.47","prevMonthPct":"-1.29","threeMonthPct":"-0.66","oneYrPct":"2.79","threeYrPct":"4.14","fiveYrPct":"-0.21","tenYrPct":"1.70","sinceInceptionPct":"1.99","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1520","ticker":"VCOBX","instrumentId":20114071,"shortName":"Core Bond Fund Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Core Bond Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922020839","inceptionDate":"2016-03-28T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"CoreBdAdm           ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.02","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.02","rSquaredBroadBased":"1.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V001","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"8.50","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.24","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.85","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.35"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2021-10-25T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Core-Plus Bond Investor  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V001","name":"Core-Plus Bond Investor  ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.29","prevMonthPct":"-1.25","threeMonthPct":"-0.60","oneYrPct":"3.16","threeYrPct":"4.63","sinceInceptionPct":"0.64","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V003","ticker":"VCPAX","instrumentId":46130360,"shortName":"Core-Plus Bond Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922020789","inceptionDate":"2021-10-25T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanCorePlusAdm      ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.02","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.02","rSquaredBroadBased":"1.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V003","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"16.99","priceChangeAmount":"0.03","priceChangePct":"0.18","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.95","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.42"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2021-10-25T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Core-Plus Bond Admiral   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V003","name":"Core-Plus Bond Admiral   ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.18","prevMonthPct":"-1.24","threeMonthPct":"-0.57","oneYrPct":"3.32","threeYrPct":"4.75","sinceInceptionPct":"0.74","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0036","ticker":"VFIIX","instrumentId":140324,"shortName":"GNMA Fund Investor Shares","longName":"Vanguard GNMA Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922031307","inceptionDate":"1980-06-27T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"GNMA                ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li>\n<li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li>\n<li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives.

This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. For example, the market for certain 144A securities may be less active than the market for publicly traded securities. Investing in such securities may heighten this risk for the fund.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Bank Loans and Loan Interests.</b> Investments in bank loans and loan interests (loans) are subject to the risk of loss in the event of default, insolvency, or the bankruptcy of the borrower. The fund may have difficulty disposing of such investments because, in certain cases, their secondary market is not highly liquid. This lack of a highly liquid secondary market could have an adverse impact on the value of loans and on the fund’s ability to dispose of them in response to a specific economic event, such as a downgrade in the borrower’s credit rating. In addition, transactions involving loans may take more than seven days to settle. As a result, the proceeds related to the sale of loans may not be available to the fund to make additional investments or to meet the fund’s redemption obligations until a significant amount of time after the sale occurs (an “extended settlement”). To the extent that an extended settlement creates a need for short-term liquidity, the fund may satisfy this need in a number of different ways. For example, the fund may hold additional cash or sell other investments (potentially at an inopportune time, which could result in a loss to the fund).</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisors’ security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"High-Yield Corporate Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"0.64","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.79"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0029","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"5.46","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.18","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"6.18","hasDisclaimer":true,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"2.08"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1978-12-27T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"High-Yield Corp Fund Inv ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0029","name":"High-Yield Corp Fund Inv ","calendarYTDPct":"1.10","prevMonthPct":"-0.38","threeMonthPct":"0.48","oneYrPct":"4.85","threeYrPct":"7.55","fiveYrPct":"3.76","tenYrPct":"4.90","sinceInceptionPct":"7.73","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0529","ticker":"VWEAX","instrumentId":176128,"shortName":"High-Yield Corp Fund Adm","longName":"Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922031760","inceptionDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"HYCorpAdml          ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"High Yield Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. 5-10 Yr Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.05","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.99"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/5314","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.21","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.87","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.58"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Inter-Term Bond Index Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"5314","name":"Inter-Term Bond Index Adm","calendarYTDPct":"-0.97","prevMonthPct":"-1.17","threeMonthPct":"-0.84","oneYrPct":"2.39","threeYrPct":"4.19","fiveYrPct":"-0.31","tenYrPct":"1.62","sinceInceptionPct":"4.00","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1874","ticker":"VBIUX","instrumentId":7532427,"shortName":"I-Term Bond Idx Inst Plus","longName":"Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index Fund Institutional Plus","cusip":"921937751","inceptionDate":"2011-11-30T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"ITBondInstPl        ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.

Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 5-10 Year Treasury Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.82","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.82","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.94"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0535","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"9.75","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.40","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.52"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Inter-Term Treasury Adm  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0535","name":"Inter-Term Treasury Adm  ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.90","prevMonthPct":"-0.86","threeMonthPct":"-0.79","oneYrPct":"2.17","threeYrPct":"3.71","fiveYrPct":"-0.15","tenYrPct":"1.20","sinceInceptionPct":"3.64","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1943","ticker":"VSIGX","instrumentId":5220594,"shortName":"IT Treasury Index Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92206C888","inceptionDate":"2010-08-04T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"ITGovIxAdm          ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions.

In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 3-10 Year Index in USD","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.80","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.93"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1643","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"24.47","priceChangeAmount":"0.03","priceChangePct":"0.12","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.44","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.38"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-03-19T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"IT Treasury Index Institl","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1643","name":"IT Treasury Index Institl","calendarYTDPct":"-0.80","prevMonthPct":"-0.78","threeMonthPct":"-0.74","oneYrPct":"2.08","threeYrPct":"3.60","fiveYrPct":"-0.25","tenYrPct":"1.06","sinceInceptionPct":"2.20","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1948","ticker":"VMBSX","instrumentId":5220599,"shortName":"Mortgage-Backed Sec Ix Ad","longName":"Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92206C755","inceptionDate":"2009-12-03T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"MrgBkdIxAdm         ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity.

With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated.

Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.<br></li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.01","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.95","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.99"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0591","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"19.82","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.68","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.50"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2015-08-25T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Tax-Exempt Bond Index Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0591","name":"Tax-Exempt Bond Index Adm","calendarYTDPct":"0.32","prevMonthPct":"-1.75","threeMonthPct":"-0.57","oneYrPct":"5.18","threeYrPct":"2.82","fiveYrPct":"0.47","tenYrPct":"1.84","sinceInceptionPct":"2.27","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0584","ticker":"VBTLX","instrumentId":519287,"shortName":"Total Bond Mkt Index Adm","longName":"Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921937603","inceptionDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"TotBdAdml           ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.01","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.01","rSquaredBroadBased":"1.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0222","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"9.51","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.11","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.67","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.08"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1995-09-18T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Total Bond Mkt Index Inst","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0222","name":"Total Bond Mkt Index Inst","calendarYTDPct":"-0.56","prevMonthPct":"-1.31","threeMonthPct":"-0.74","oneYrPct":"2.66","threeYrPct":"3.73","fiveYrPct":"-0.42","tenYrPct":"1.33","sinceInceptionPct":"4.17","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0119","ticker":"VIPSX","instrumentId":140331,"shortName":"Inflation-Protect Sec Inv","longName":"Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922031869","inceptionDate":"2000-06-29T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"InflaPro            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Inflation-Indexed Securities","category":"Inflation-Protected Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.71","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.89"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0119","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"11.61","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.21","hasDisclaimer":true,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"},{"footnoteCode":"G","footnoteText":"DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY INCOME ADJUSTMENT RESULTING FROM CHANGE IN INFLATION RATE"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.81"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2000-06-29T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Inflation-Protect Sec Inv","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0119","name":"Inflation-Protect Sec Inv","calendarYTDPct":"0.38","prevMonthPct":"-0.78","threeMonthPct":"-1.03","oneYrPct":"2.41","threeYrPct":"3.53","fiveYrPct":"0.16","tenYrPct":"2.21","sinceInceptionPct":"4.38","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5119","ticker":"VAIPX","instrumentId":1651103,"shortName":"Inflation-Protect Sec Adm","longName":"Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922031737","inceptionDate":"2005-06-10T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"InfProAd            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Inflation-Indexed Securities","category":"Inflation-Protected Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.72","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.89"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/5119","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"22.79","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.30","hasDisclaimer":true,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"},{"footnoteCode":"G","footnoteText":"DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY INCOME ADJUSTMENT RESULTING FROM CHANGE IN INFLATION RATE"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.85"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2005-06-10T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Inflation-Protect Sec Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"5119","name":"Inflation-Protect Sec Adm","calendarYTDPct":"0.41","prevMonthPct":"-0.79","threeMonthPct":"-0.97","oneYrPct":"2.47","threeYrPct":"3.62","fiveYrPct":"0.27","tenYrPct":"2.31","sinceInceptionPct":"3.27","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1190","ticker":"VIPIX","instrumentId":1016513,"shortName":"Infla-Protected Sec Inst","longName":"Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"922031745","inceptionDate":"2003-12-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"InPrSeIn            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Inflation-Indexed Securities","category":"Inflation-Protected Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Keep in mind that investments that offer stability of principal typically are the most vulnerable to income risk—the possibility that the income from the investment will fluctuate over brief periods—and tend to produce lower long-term returns than riskier assets. Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. 0-5 Year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund invests in bonds. As a result, the fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in an Emerging Markets Bond Fund.</b> The returns of U.S. bonds are less volatile than, and typically are not correlated with, the returns of U.S. and foreign stocks. As a result, many investors invest in bonds and bond funds in an attempt to lower the overall risk of their portfolios. However, this strategy is less likely to be effective when investing in emerging market bonds or in funds that invest primarily in emerging market bonds (such as the fund). The returns of emerging market bonds are more volatile than the returns of U.S. bonds and often have a higher correlation to the returns of stocks. Investors should not expect the fund’s performance, volatility, or level of risk to be similar to that of a U.S. bond fund.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S.

subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices. This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund invests in bonds. As a result, the fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in an Emerging Markets Bond Fund.</b> The returns of U.S. bonds are less volatile than, and typically are not correlated with, the returns of U.S. and foreign stocks. As a result, many investors invest in bonds and bond funds in an attempt to lower the overall risk of their portfolios. However, this strategy is less likely to be effective when investing in emerging market bonds or in funds that invest primarily in emerging market bonds (such as the fund). The returns of emerging market bonds are more volatile than the returns of U.S. bonds and often have a higher correlation to the returns of stocks. Investors should not expect the fund’s performance, volatility, or level of risk to be similar to that of a U.S. bond fund.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S.

Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg USD Emerging

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in an Emerging Markets Bond Fund.</b> The returns of U.S. bonds are less volatile than, and typically are not correlated with, the returns of U.S. and foreign stocks. As a result, many investors invest in bonds and bond funds in an attempt to lower the overall risk of their portfolios. However, this strategy is less likely to be effective when investing in emerging market bonds or in funds that invest primarily in emerging market bonds (such as the fund). The returns of emerging market bonds are more volatile than the returns of U.S. bonds and often have a higher correlation to the returns of stocks. Investors should not expect the fund’s performance, volatility, or level of risk to be similar to that of a U.S. bond fund.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li>\n<li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/2020","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"26.62","priceChangeAmount":"0.04","priceChangePct":"0.15","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"6.18","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.20"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2015-02-11T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Em Mkt Gov Bond Ix Instl ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"2020","name":"Em Mkt Gov Bond Ix Instl ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.28","prevMonthPct":"-2.44","threeMonthPct":"-0.88","oneYrPct":"5.72","threeYrPct":"7.66","fiveYrPct":"1.61","tenYrPct":"3.03","sinceInceptionPct":"3.74","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"2025","ticker":"VGCIX","instrumentId":31090398,"shortName":"Global Cred Bond Investor","longName":"Vanguard Global Credit Bond Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"92203J860","inceptionDate":"2018-11-15T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanGlbCrdBInv       ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"World Bond","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3500","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"2025","admiralFundId":"0525"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Taxable Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3110,"name":"World Bond"}},"largeTransactionAmount":5000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":5000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":2,"level":"Conservative to Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as conservative to moderate are subject to low-to-moderate fluctuations in share prices.

Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates.

They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Global Aggregate Credit Index Hedged in USD","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S.

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Global Aggregate Credit Index Hedged in USD","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.03","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.69","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.81"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0525","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"19.01","priceChangeAmount":"0.03","priceChangePct":"0.16","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.92","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.61"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2018-11-15T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Global Cred Bond Admiral ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0525","name":"Global Cred Bond Admiral ","calendarYTDPct":"0.19","prevMonthPct":"-1.31","threeMonthPct":"-0.08","oneYrPct":"3.23","threeYrPct":"5.61","fiveYrPct":"0.88","sinceInceptionPct":"3.75","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"2022","ticker":"VBLAX","instrumentId":32101355,"shortName":"Long-Term Bond Index Adm","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921937652","inceptionDate":"2019-02-07T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"LTBondAdml          ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Bloomberg U.S. Long Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"2.15","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.96"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0545","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.01","priceChangeAmount":"0.05","priceChangePct":"0.50","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.65","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-2.29"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2006-02-02T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Long-Term Bond Index Inst","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0545","name":"Long-Term Bond Index Inst","calendarYTDPct":"-3.48","prevMonthPct":"-4.39","threeMonthPct":"-2.87","oneYrPct":"-0.18","threeYrPct":"0.73","fiveYrPct":"-5.21","tenYrPct":"0.00","sinceInceptionPct":"3.99","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1947","ticker":"VLTCX","instrumentId":5220598,"shortName":"Long-Term Corp Bond Ix Ad","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92206C789","inceptionDate":"2010-01-19T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"LTCorpIxAdm         ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1647","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"24.00","priceChangeAmount":"0.12","priceChangePct":"0.50","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"6.14","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-2.05"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2009-11-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Long-Term Corp Bond Ix Is","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1647","name":"Long-Term Corp Bond Ix Is","calendarYTDPct":"-3.58","prevMonthPct":"-4.87","threeMonthPct":"-3.11","oneYrPct":"-0.34","threeYrPct":"2.36","fiveYrPct":"-3.72","tenYrPct":"1.33","sinceInceptionPct":"4.32","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0028","ticker":"VWESX","instrumentId":140322,"shortName":"Long-Term Invest-Gr Inv","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922031109","inceptionDate":"1973-07-09T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"LTIGrade            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond - Long-term Investment","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"6","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Long-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.2100","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-05-28T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0028","admiralFundId":"0568"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Long-term Investment","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":31,"name":"Long-Term Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3107,"name":"Long-Term Bond"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"2000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate are subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable.

Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"2.01","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.95"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0028","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"7.26","priceChangeAmount":"0.03","priceChangePct":"0.41","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.75","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-2.27"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1973-07-09T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Long-Term Invest-Gr Inv  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0028","name":"Long-Term Invest-Gr Inv  ","calendarYTDPct":"-2.88","prevMonthPct":"-3.93","threeMonthPct":"-2.33","oneYrPct":"0.44","threeYrPct":"1.93","fiveYrPct":"-4.06","tenYrPct":"0.84","sinceInceptionPct":"7.16","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0568","ticker":"VWETX","instrumentId":519281,"shortName":"Long-Term Invest-Gr Adm","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922031778","inceptionDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"LTIGradeAdml        ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid. In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Long Treasury Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"2.25","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.95"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0083","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"7.56","priceChangeAmount":"0.05","priceChangePct":"0.67","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.98","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-2.42"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1986-05-19T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Long-Term Treasury Inv   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0083","name":"Long-Term Treasury Inv   ","calendarYTDPct":"-3.37","prevMonthPct":"-4.05","threeMonthPct":"-2.69","oneYrPct":"-0.26","threeYrPct":"-1.07","fiveYrPct":"-7.12","tenYrPct":"-2.00","sinceInceptionPct":"5.63","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0583","ticker":"VUSUX","instrumentId":149788,"shortName":"Long-Term Treasury Adm","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922031786","inceptionDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"LTsryAdml           ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Long Government","customizedStyle":"Bond -

These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions.

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Multi-Sector Income Bond Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.02","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.78","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.92"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/4181","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"9.12","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.11","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.49","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.62"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2021-10-12T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Multi-Sector Inc Bond Inv","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"4181","name":"Multi-Sector Inc Bond Inv","calendarYTDPct":"0.90","prevMonthPct":"-0.45","threeMonthPct":"0.24","oneYrPct":"4.73","threeYrPct":"7.02","sinceInceptionPct":"3.15","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5181","ticker":"VMSAX","instrumentId":46130362,"shortName":"Multi-Sector Inc Bond Adm","longName":"Vanguard Multi-Sector Income Bond Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922020763","inceptionDate":"2021-10-12T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanMultiSectAdm     ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Taxable Bond","category":"Multisector Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions.

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index.The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.<br></li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Float Adjusted RIC Capped Index

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions.

The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price.

Keep in mind that investments that offer stability of principal typically are the most vulnerable to income risk—the possibility that the income from the investment will fluctuate over brief periods—and tend to produce lower long-term returns than riskier assets. Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg 1-5 Year Blend (1-6 Year) Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.91","rSquaredPrimary":"0.97","betaBroadBased":"0.38","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.89"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0531","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.92","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.21","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.33"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Ltd-Term Tax-Exempt Adm  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0531","name":"Ltd-Term Tax-Exempt Adm  ","calendarYTDPct":"0.85","prevMonthPct":"-0.55","threeMonthPct":"0.16","oneYrPct":"2.84","threeYrPct":"3.61","fiveYrPct":"1.82","tenYrPct":"1.92","sinceInceptionPct":"2.53","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0041","ticker":"VWSTX","instrumentId":140468,"shortName":"UltShortTermTaxExemptInv","longName":"Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922907100","inceptionDate":"1977-09-01T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"MuSht               ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Short-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Short","customizedStyle":"Bond -

Keep in mind that investments that offer stability of principal typically are the most vulnerable to income risk—the possibility that the income from the investment will fluctuate over brief periods—and tend to produce lower long-term returns than riskier assets. Such funds are appropriate for the short-term reserves portion of a long-term investment portfolio, for investors with short-term investment horizons (no longer than three years), and for investors whose tolerance for share-price fluctuations is very low or whose employment or financial situation is precarious.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg 1 Year Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.93","rSquaredPrimary":"0.92","betaBroadBased":"0.19","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.82"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0541","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"15.84","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.06","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"2.95","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.72"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"UltShortTermTaxExemptAdm ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0541","name":"UltShortTermTaxExemptAdm ","calendarYTDPct":"1.33","prevMonthPct":"-0.12","threeMonthPct":"0.45","oneYrPct":"2.89","threeYrPct":"3.63","fiveYrPct":"2.31","tenYrPct":"1.86","sinceInceptionPct":"2.02","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0100","ticker":"VCAIX","instrumentId":140319,"shortName":"CA IT Tax-Exempt Investor","longName":"Vanguard California Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922021308","inceptionDate":"1994-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"CAIT                ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Muni California Interm/Short","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal California personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by California and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in California may have far-reaching impacts on the overall California municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in California than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall California municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal California Intermediate Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"0.95","rSquaredPrimary":"0.95","betaBroadBased":"0.81","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/5100","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"11.37","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.51","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.42"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"CA IT Tax-Exempt Admiral ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"5100","name":"CA IT Tax-Exempt Admiral ","calendarYTDPct":"0.03","prevMonthPct":"-1.55","threeMonthPct":"-0.59","oneYrPct":"4.52","threeYrPct":"3.40","fiveYrPct":"1.04","tenYrPct":"2.01","sinceInceptionPct":"3.38","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0042","ticker":"VWITX","instrumentId":140469,"shortName":"Inter-Term Tax-Exempt Inv","longName":"Vanguard Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922907209","inceptionDate":"1977-09-01T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"MuInt               ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Interm","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the Fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg 1-15 Year Blend (1-17 Year) Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.05","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"0.83","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.99"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0542","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"13.56","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.07","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.66","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.51"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Inter-Term Tax-Exempt Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0542","name":"Inter-Term Tax-Exempt Adm","calendarYTDPct":"0.21","prevMonthPct":"-1.60","threeMonthPct":"-0.68","oneYrPct":"4.65","threeYrPct":"3.43","fiveYrPct":"1.04","tenYrPct":"2.10","sinceInceptionPct":"3.53","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V043","ticker":"VCPSX","instrumentId":68893094,"shortName":"STAR Core-Plus Bond Inst","longName":"Vanguard STAR Core-Plus Bond Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"921909735","inceptionDate":"2025-03-12T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VGSTARCorePlus      ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Intermediate-Term Bond","category":"Intermediate-Term Bond","customizedStyle":"Bond -

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li>\n<li><b>TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities.</b> A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Management of Certain Similar Funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>\nDerivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li>\n<li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V043","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"9.89","priceChangeAmount":"0.02","priceChangePct":"0.20","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"5.01","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.50"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2025-03-12T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"STAR Core-Plus Bond Inst ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V043","name":"STAR Core-Plus Bond Inst ","calendarYTDPct":"-0.13","prevMonthPct":"-1.30","threeMonthPct":"-0.60","oneYrPct":"3.35","sinceInceptionPct":"3.93","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0075","ticker":"VCITX","instrumentId":140317,"shortName":"CA LT Tax-Exempt Investor","longName":"Vanguard California Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"922021100","inceptionDate":"1986-04-07T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"CALT                ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni California Long","customizedStyle":"Bond - Long-term State Muni","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"3","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Long-term Treasury","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1400","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-27T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":false,"isTaxExempt":true,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":true,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0075","admiralFundId":"0575"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Long-term State Muni","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":32,"name":"Long-Term Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3207,"name":"Muni California Long"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":5000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"N/A","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate are subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices. This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk </b>than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal California personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by California and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in California may have far-reaching impacts on the overall California municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in California than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall California municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg CA Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.18","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"1.14","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0075","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"11.29","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.82","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.65"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1986-04-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"CA LT Tax-Exempt Investor","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0075","name":"CA LT Tax-Exempt Investor","calendarYTDPct":"0.59","prevMonthPct":"-2.04","threeMonthPct":"-0.42","oneYrPct":"6.76","threeYrPct":"3.54","fiveYrPct":"0.59","tenYrPct":"2.12","sinceInceptionPct":"5.19","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0575","ticker":"VCLAX","instrumentId":519283,"shortName":"CA LT Tax-Exempt Admiral","longName":"Vanguard California Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922021506","inceptionDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"CALTAdml            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni California Long","customizedStyle":"Bond -

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more Credit Risk than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>High-Yield Securities.</b> Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the fund.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.16","rSquaredPrimary":"0.97","betaBroadBased":"1.16","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.97"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0044","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.50","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.34","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"1.34"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1978-12-27T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"High-Yield Tax-Exempt Inv","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0044","name":"High-Yield Tax-Exempt Inv","calendarYTDPct":"1.26","prevMonthPct":"-1.89","threeMonthPct":"-0.10","oneYrPct":"7.24","threeYrPct":"4.15","fiveYrPct":"0.73","tenYrPct":"2.61","sinceInceptionPct":"5.87","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5044","ticker":"VWALX","instrumentId":520230,"shortName":"High-Yield Tax-Exempt Adm","longName":"Vanguard High-Yield Tax-Exempt Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922907845","inceptionDate":"2001-11-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"MuHYAdml            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"High Yield Muni","customizedStyle":"Bond -

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Regional Focus.</b> Economic, political, or regulatory occurrences within a certain state may adversely affect the value of municipal securities offered by issuers located within that state. Because the fund may invest a large portion of its assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in any one state, its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in that region.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.15","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"1.15","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0043","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.66","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"4.04","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.75"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1977-09-01T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Long-Term Tax-Exempt Inv ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0043","name":"Long-Term Tax-Exempt Inv ","calendarYTDPct":"0.69","prevMonthPct":"-1.98","threeMonthPct":"-0.46","oneYrPct":"6.50","threeYrPct":"3.44","fiveYrPct":"0.46","tenYrPct":"2.20","sinceInceptionPct":"5.26","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0543","ticker":"VWLUX","instrumentId":519273,"shortName":"Long-Term Tax-Exempt Adm","longName":"Vanguard Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922907860","inceptionDate":"2001-02-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"MuLTAdml            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni National Long","customizedStyle":"Bond -

This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or Massachusetts personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by Massachusetts and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in Massachusetts may have far-reaching impacts on the overall Massachusetts municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in Massachusetts than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall Massachusetts municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg MA Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.17","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"1.13","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0168","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"9.95","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.91","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.49"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1998-12-09T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"MA Tax-Exempt Fund       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0168","name":"MA Tax-Exempt Fund       ","calendarYTDPct":"0.44","prevMonthPct":"-2.14","threeMonthPct":"-0.56","oneYrPct":"6.51","threeYrPct":"3.40","fiveYrPct":"0.34","tenYrPct":"2.03","sinceInceptionPct":"3.78","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0014","ticker":"VNJTX","instrumentId":140337,"shortName":"NJ LT Tax-Exempt Investor","longName":"Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"92204F206","inceptionDate":"1988-02-03T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"NJLT                ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni New Jersey","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk </b>than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li>\n<li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or New Jersey personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by New Jersey and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in New Jersey may have far-reaching impacts on the overall New Jersey municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in New Jersey than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall New Jersey municipal bond market.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0514","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"11.22","priceChangeAmount":"0.00","priceChangePct":"0.00","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.92","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.86"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-05-14T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"NJ LT Tax-Exempt Admiral ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0514","name":"NJ LT Tax-Exempt Admiral ","calendarYTDPct":"0.71","prevMonthPct":"-1.96","threeMonthPct":"-0.58","oneYrPct":"6.68","threeYrPct":"3.58","fiveYrPct":"0.73","tenYrPct":"2.69","sinceInceptionPct":"4.07","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0076","ticker":"VNYTX","instrumentId":140338,"shortName":"NY LT Tax-Exempt Investor","longName":"Vanguard New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"92204H103","inceptionDate":"1986-04-07T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"NYLT                ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni New York Long","customizedStyle":"Bond - Long-term State Muni","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"3","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Long-term Treasury","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1400","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-27T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":false,"isTaxExempt":true,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":true,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0076","admiralFundId":"0576"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Long-term State Muni","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":32,"name":"Long-Term Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3208,"name":"Muni New York Long"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":2500000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"N/A","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate are subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices.

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or New York personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by New York and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in New York may have far-reaching impacts on the overall New York municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in New York than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall New York municipal bond market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg NY Municipal Bond Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index","betaPrimary":"1.11","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"1.19","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0576","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.69","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.99","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.95"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2001-05-14T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"NY LT Tax-Exempt Admiral ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0576","name":"NY LT Tax-Exempt Admiral ","calendarYTDPct":"0.89","prevMonthPct":"-2.06","threeMonthPct":"-0.54","oneYrPct":"6.92","threeYrPct":"3.60","fiveYrPct":"0.58","tenYrPct":"2.15","sinceInceptionPct":"3.89","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0097","ticker":"VOHIX","instrumentId":140292,"shortName":"OH LT Tax-Exempt Fund","longName":"Vanguard Ohio Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund","cusip":"921929204","inceptionDate":"1990-06-18T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"OHLTte              ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni Ohio","customizedStyle":"Bond -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li>\n<li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or Pennsylvania personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>State-Specific Focus.</b> The fund invests primarily in securities issued by Pennsylvania and its municipalities. Any adverse tax, legislative, or political developments in Pennsylvania may have far-reaching impacts on the overall Pennsylvania municipal bond market, which could adversely affect the fund’s holdings and/or the securities that are available for investment by the fund. In addition, the fund is more susceptible to the credit risk of and unfavorable developments in Pennsylvania than a fund that invests more widely. Unfavorable developments in any economic sector may have far-reaching ramifications on the overall Pennsylvania municipal bond market.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0077","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"10.63","priceChangeAmount":"0.01","priceChangePct":"0.09","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-20T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"3.99","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"A","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY FOR PRIOR 30 DAYS;DISTRIBUTION MAY DIFFER"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.53"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1986-04-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"PA LT Tax-Exempt Investor","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0077","name":"PA LT Tax-Exempt Investor","calendarYTDPct":"0.38","prevMonthPct":"-1.99","threeMonthPct":"-0.66","oneYrPct":"6.67","threeYrPct":"3.50","fiveYrPct":"0.51","tenYrPct":"2.30","sinceInceptionPct":"5.17","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0577","ticker":"VPALX","instrumentId":519284,"shortName":"PA LT Tax-Exempt Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Pennsylvania Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92204L302","inceptionDate":"2001-05-14T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"PALTAdml            ","style":"Bond Funds","type":"Long-Term Bond","category":"Muni Pennsylvania","customizedStyle":"Bond - Long-term State Muni","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"3","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Long-term Treasury","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0900","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-03-27T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":true,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":false,"isTaxExempt":true,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":true,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":true,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":true,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0077","admiralFundId":"0577"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Bond - Long-term State Muni","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":3,"name":"Bond Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":32,"name":"Long-Term Bond"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":3211,"name":"Muni Pennsylvania"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":5000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":50000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"N/A","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"50000","threeToTenYr":"50000","OverTenYr":"50000"}},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate are subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices.

subject to a moderate degree of fluctuations in share prices. This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Balanced Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b>&nbsp;Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b>&nbsp;Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying funds’ investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an underlying fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> Certain underlying funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these underlying funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an underlying fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the underlying fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Underlying Funds Risk.</b> The fund invests substantially all of its assets in underlying funds. This means that the fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.</li><li><b>Allocation to Underlying Funds.</b> The advisor’s selection of underlying funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the fund’s assets to a relatively few number of underlying funds, may cause the fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one underlying fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Income Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets.

The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying funds’ investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an underlying fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> Certain underlying funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these underlying funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an underlying fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the underlying fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Underlying Funds Risk.</b> The fund invests substantially all of its assets in underlying funds. This means that the fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.</li><li><b>Allocation to Underlying Funds.</b> The advisor’s selection of underlying funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the fund’s assets to a relatively few number of underlying funds, may cause the fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one underlying fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the underlying fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline.

Derivatives could expose an underlying fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing an underlying fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time an underlying fund enters into the derivatives position.<br>For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require an underlying fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, an underlying fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for an underlying fund’s derivatives positions. The underlying funds may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to an underlying fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to an underlying fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to an underlying fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of an underlying fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying fund’s investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an underlying fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> Certain underlying funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these underlying funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an underlying fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the underlying fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Underlying Funds Risk.</b> The fund invests substantially all of its assets in underlying funds. This means that the fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.</li><li><b>Allocation to Underlying Funds.</b> The advisor’s selection of underlying funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the fund’s assets to a relatively few number of underlying funds, may cause the fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one underlying fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"STAR Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in bonds. As a result, these underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the underlying fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the underlying fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap.

Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in bonds. As a result, these underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the underlying fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the underlying fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in bonds. As a result, these underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying funds’ investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in bonds. As a result, these underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying funds’ investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an underlying fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> Certain underlying funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these underlying funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an underlying fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the underlying fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Underlying Funds Risk.</b> The fund invests substantially all of its assets in underlying funds. This means that the fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.</li><li><b>Allocation to Underlying Funds.</b> The advisor’s selection of underlying funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the fund’s assets to a relatively few number of underlying funds, may cause the fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one underlying fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Target Retirement 2045 Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in bonds. As a result, these underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying funds’ investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an underlying fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> Certain underlying funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these underlying funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an underlying fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the underlying fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Underlying Funds Risk.</b> The fund invests substantially all of its assets in underlying funds. This means that the fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.</li><li><b>Allocation to Underlying Funds.</b> The advisor’s selection of underlying funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the fund’s assets to a relatively few number of underlying funds, may cause the fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one underlying fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Target Retirement 2055 Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund and the underlying funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these underlying funds.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> Certain underlying funds invest in bonds. As a result, these underlying funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an underlying fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an underlying fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s and/or an underlying fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an underlying fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If an underlying fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the underlying funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an underlying fund would result in the underlying fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the underlying fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the underlying fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the underlying fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an underlying fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an underlying fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an underlying fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the underlying funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the underlying funds’ investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> Certain underlying funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an underlying fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an underlying fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Currency Hedging.</b> Certain underlying funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these underlying funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an underlying fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the underlying fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Underlying Funds Risk.</b> The fund invests substantially all of its assets in underlying funds. This means that the fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.</li><li><b>Allocation to Underlying Funds.</b> The advisor’s selection of underlying funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the fund’s assets to a relatively few number of underlying funds, may cause the fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one underlying fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Target Retirement 2065 Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

This price volatility may be due to one of several factors: 1) a fund may hold longer-term bonds, which are subject to wide swings in value as interest rates rise and fall; 2) a fund may hold income-oriented common stocks; and 3) a fund may hold a balance of both stocks and bonds. In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Tax-Managed Investing.</b> There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to successfully implement its tax-management strategy. Market conditions or other circumstances may limit the fund’s ability to generate tax losses or to generate dividend income taxed at favorable tax rates. The fund has, and may in the future, distribute current income or capital gains. Though the fund seeks to invest in the stocks that make up its target index, its ability to do so may be affected by its tax-management strategy. As a result, the fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar fund that is not tax-managed. The fund’s tax-management strategy may also cause the fund to underperform the broader market. For example, the fund may hold a security in order to achieve more favorable tax-treatment or sell a security to create tax losses, either of which may impact returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in the Municipal Bond Market.</b> In addition to the general risks associated with investing in bonds, municipal bonds are subject to unique risks. The values of the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be impacted significantly by economic, regulatory, political, or other developments or circumstances affecting municipal bond issuers. These developments or circumstances could create uncertainty in the municipal bond market and/or adversely impact the ability of municipal bond issuers to make principal and interest payments, which could result in a loss to the fund. Municipal bonds can vary from one another in a number of ways, which can impact their sensitivity to certain risks. For example, investing in revenue bonds, which make up a significant portion of the municipal bond market, will generally subject the fund to a higher risk of loss than investing in municipal bonds secured by the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the issuer (general obligation bonds). Because the interest and principal on revenue bonds is payable only from a particular stream of revenue, they generally carry more <b>Credit Risk</b> than general obligation bonds. Revenue bonds also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than general obligation bonds, which could make their prices more volatile. The fund also is subject to the risk that all or a significant portion of its municipal bond holdings will be affected in the same manner. Because many municipal bonds are issued to finance similar projects, conditions in related sectors could have an outsized impact on the municipal bond market. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that invest more broadly.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Municipal Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> Limited trading in the municipal bond market and a relative lack of publicly available information about the financial condition of municipal bond issuers may make municipal bonds more difficult to value or sell than other types of debt securities. If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. If the proceeds from a called bond generate taxable income, the fund may need to distribute income subject to federal or state personal income tax or to the federal alternative minimum tax. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Tax-Exempt Income Risk.</b> There is no guarantee that the interest payable on municipal bonds will remain exempt from federal, state, or local income taxes. Tax-exempt income from the fund’s municipal bond holdings could be declared taxable, possibly with retroactive effect, due to a variety of circumstances such as tax law changes, adverse interpretations by tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct by a municipal bond issuer. Any of these circumstances could cause the prices of municipal bonds to decline significantly or impair the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</li><li><b>Active Management</b> (Applies to bond portion of the fund). The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing</b> (Applies to stock portion of the fund). The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. Additionally, the performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Tax-Managed Balanced Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a relatively long investment horizon (more than five years), are able to tolerate moderate-to-high short-term fluctuations in price, and wish to achieve some combination of current income and modest growth potential.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Prepayment Risk.</b> Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under <b>Call Risk</b>. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Dividend Investing.</b> The fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform other funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Wellesley Income Composite Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market

In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Extension Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets. </b>Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Risk. </b>The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Hedging. </b>The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Prepayment Risk. </b>Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Dividend Investing. </b>The fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform other funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends.</li>\n<li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management. </b>The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Derivatives. </b>Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<p>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1496","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"24.49","priceChangeAmount":"0.03","priceChangePct":"0.12","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"6.35"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2017-11-02T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Global Wellesley Inc Inv ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1496","name":"Global Wellesley Inc Inv ","calendarYTDPct":"5.40","prevMonthPct":"0.71","threeMonthPct":"2.00","oneYrPct":"11.60","threeYrPct":"9.43","fiveYrPct":"5.04","sinceInceptionPct":"5.20","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1896","ticker":"VGYAX","instrumentId":26526082,"shortName":"Global Wellesley Inc Adm","longName":"Vanguard Global Wellesley Income Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921910741","inceptionDate":"2017-11-02T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanGlWellsAdm       ","style":"Balanced Funds","type":"Global Balanced","category":"Conservative Allocation","customizedStyle":"Balanced","equityInvestmentStyleId":"1","equityInvestmentStyleName":"Large-cap value","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"5","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Intermediate-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3000","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2025-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":true,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"1496","admiralFundId":"1896"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Balanced","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":2,"name":"Balanced Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":23,"name":"Global Balanced"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":2301,"name":"Conservative Allocation"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":1000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":50000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"50000","threeToTenYr":"50000","OverTenYr":"50000"}},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets. </b>Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Risk. </b>The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Hedging. </b>The fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the fund could be subject to additional loss.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Dividend Investing. </b>The fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform other funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends.</li>\n<li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Bond Markets. </b>The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Interest Rate Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Income Risk. </b>During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li>\n<li><b>Credit Risk. </b>Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li>\n<li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk. </b>If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li>\n<li><b>Call Risk. </b>Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Prepayment Risk. </b>Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li>\n<li><b>Extension Risk. </b>During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management. </b>The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Derivatives. </b>Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<p>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1567","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"30.93","priceChangeAmount":"-0.02","priceChangePct":"-0.06","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"13.46"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2017-11-02T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Global Wellington Invest ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1567","name":"Global Wellington Invest ","calendarYTDPct":"11.74","prevMonthPct":"1.33","threeMonthPct":"3.46","oneYrPct":"21.77","threeYrPct":"13.25","fiveYrPct":"8.49","sinceInceptionPct":"8.82","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1767","ticker":"VGWAX","instrumentId":26526081,"shortName":"Global Wellington Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Global Wellington Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921910766","inceptionDate":"2017-11-02T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanGlWelAdm         ","style":"Balanced Funds","type":"Global Balanced","category":"Moderate Allocation","customizedStyle":"Balanced","equityInvestmentStyleId":"1","equityInvestmentStyleName":"Large-cap value","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleId":"5","fixedIncomeInvestmentStyleName":"Intermediate-term investment-grade","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3000","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2025-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":true,"isStock":false,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"1567","admiralFundId":"1767"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Balanced","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":2,"name":"Balanced Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":23,"name":"Global Balanced"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":2302,"name":"Moderate Allocation"}},"largeTransactionAmount":5000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":5000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":50000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"50000","threeToTenYr":"50000","OverTenYr":"50000"}},"risk":{"code":3,"level":"Moderate","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period.

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a long-term investment horizon (ten years or longer), who are seeking growth in capital as a primary objective, and who are prepared to endure the sharp and sometimes prolonged declines in share prices that occur from time to time in the stock market. This price volatility is the trade-off for the potentially high returns that common stocks can provide. The level of current income produced by funds in this category ranges from moderate to very low.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P 500 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.96","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.99"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0540","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"707.16","priceChangeAmount":"-1.98","priceChangePct":"-0.28","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.99","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"12.60"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2000-11-13T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"500 Index Fund Adm       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0540","name":"500 Index Fund Adm       ","calendarYTDPct":"10.11","prevMonthPct":"-0.07","threeMonthPct":"4.18","oneYrPct":"19.52","threeYrPct":"19.28","fiveYrPct":"12.81","tenYrPct":"15.04","sinceInceptionPct":"8.86","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"4435","ticker":"VADGX","instrumentId":46573247,"shortName":"Adv Select Div Growth Adm","longName":"Vanguard Advice Select Dividend Growth Fund","cusip":"921946752","inceptionDate":"2021-11-09T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanAdvDivGrAdm      ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock - General","category":"Large Blend","customizedStyle":"Stock - Large-Cap Blend","equityInvestmentStyleId":"2","equityInvestmentStyleName":"Large-cap blend","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3600","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":true,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"4435"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Stock - Large-Cap Blend","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":11,"name":"Domestic Stock - General"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1102,"name":"Large Blend"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":0,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"0","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"0","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"0","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"0","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Dividend Investing.</b> The fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform other funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index TR","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.73","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.85"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/5702","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"66.35","priceChangeAmount":"0.17","priceChangePct":"0.26","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.41","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"12.13"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2013-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Dividend Apprec Idx Adm  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"5702","name":"Dividend Apprec Idx Adm  ","calendarYTDPct":"9.66","prevMonthPct":"1.01","threeMonthPct":"5.00","oneYrPct":"17.99","threeYrPct":"14.89","fiveYrPct":"10.41","tenYrPct":"12.97","sinceInceptionPct":"11.90","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0057","ticker":"VDIGX","instrumentId":140274,"shortName":"Dividend Growth Fund","longName":"Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund","cusip":"921908604","inceptionDate":"1992-05-15T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"DividGro            ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>ESG Investing. </b>As described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the index provider excludes certain securities from the target index based on ESG criteria. As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The index provider’s use of ESG criteria may result in the target index becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, index providers, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The index provider’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria used to construct the target index, the index provider depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting.

In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector. </b>As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Social Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.11","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.98"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0513","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"73.06","priceChangeAmount":"-0.24","priceChangePct":"-0.33","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.81","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"12.04"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2019-02-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"FTSE Social Index Adm    ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0513","name":"FTSE Social Index Adm    ","calendarYTDPct":"9.26","prevMonthPct":"-0.11","threeMonthPct":"5.18","oneYrPct":"18.63","threeYrPct":"19.47","fiveYrPct":"11.87","sinceInceptionPct":"16.44","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0223","ticker":"VFTNX","instrumentId":519162,"shortName":"FTSE Social Index Inst","longName":"Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"921910402","inceptionDate":"2003-01-14T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"FTScInst            ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of the companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index.

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Market Neutral Strategy.</b> There is no guarantee that the fund’s market neutral strategy will be successful. In particular, the strategy may not limit the fund’s exposure to general equity market risks, including risks associated with equity market movements, capitalization ranges, investment styles (such as growth or value), industry fluctuations, and other related factors. There is also no guarantee that the fund will achieve returns that exceed the returns of 3-month U.S. Treasury bills. The fund’s use of both long and short positions may result in greater losses or lower positive returns than a strategy that employs only long positions. Short positions involve additional costs and expenses, which can increase the fund’s expense ratio and may reduce the fund’s returns. Gains from short positions may be partially or fully offset by declines in long positions, and vice versa. During periods of strong equity market performance, the fund is expected to underperform the broader market, as losses from short positions may offset gains from long positions. Additionally, it is possible that securities the fund holds in long positions decline in value while securities held in short positions increase in value, thereby increasing losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited. In addition, when the fund sells short, it normally will incur two types of expenses, borrowing expenses and dividend expenses, both of which can increase the fund’s expense ratio.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Market Neutral Strategy.</b> There is no guarantee that the fund’s market neutral strategy will be successful. In particular, the strategy may not limit the fund’s exposure to general equity market risks, including risks associated with equity market movements, capitalization ranges, investment styles (such as growth or value), industry fluctuations, and other related factors. There is also no guarantee that the fund will achieve returns that exceed the returns of 3-month U.S. Treasury bills. The fund’s use of both long and short positions may result in greater losses or lower positive returns than a strategy that employs only long positions. Short positions involve additional costs and expenses, which can increase the fund’s expense ratio and may reduce the fund’s returns. Gains from short positions may be partially or fully offset by declines in long positions, and vice versa. During periods of strong equity market performance, the fund is expected to underperform the broader market, as losses from short positions may offset gains from long positions. Additionally, it is possible that securities the fund holds in long positions decline in value while securities held in short positions increase in value, thereby increasing losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Short Selling.</b> The fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities. In a short sale, the fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited. In addition, when the fund sells short, it normally will incur two types of expenses, borrowing expenses and dividend expenses, both of which can increase the fund’s expense ratio.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed.

Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the IT sector made up a significant portion of the target index.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Management of Certain Similar funds.</b> The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the fund will be comparable to, that other fund.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Mega Cap Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.66","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.62"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0839","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"333.75","priceChangeAmount":"0.25","priceChangePct":"0.07","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.74","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"20.44"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2008-03-05T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Mega Cap Value Ix Ist    ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0839","name":"Mega Cap Value Ix Ist    ","calendarYTDPct":"16.76","prevMonthPct":"-0.20","threeMonthPct":"7.31","oneYrPct":"27.56","threeYrPct":"17.61","fiveYrPct":"12.79","tenYrPct":"12.77","sinceInceptionPct":"10.06","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0585","ticker":"VTSAX","instrumentId":162814,"shortName":"Total Stock Mkt Idx Adm","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922908728","inceptionDate":"2000-11-13T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"TotStAdml           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Total Stock Market Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.00","rSquaredBroadBased":"1.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0855","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"183.55","priceChangeAmount":"-0.62","priceChangePct":"-0.34","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.03","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"13.13"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1997-07-07T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Total Stock Mkt Idx Inst ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0855","name":"Total Stock Mkt Idx Inst ","calendarYTDPct":"10.51","prevMonthPct":"-0.50","threeMonthPct":"4.28","oneYrPct":"19.80","threeYrPct":"18.82","fiveYrPct":"11.75","tenYrPct":"14.54","sinceInceptionPct":"9.57","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0506","ticker":"VVIAX","instrumentId":173286,"shortName":"Value Index Fund Adm","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Value Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922908678","inceptionDate":"2000-11-13T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"ValAdml             ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> From time to time, stocks of companies within the information technology sector may make up a significant portion of the fund’s investment portfolio. As a result, the fund’s performance may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li><li><b>Health Care Sector.</b> From time to time, stocks of companies within the health care sector may make up a significant portion of the fund’s investment portfolio. As a result, the fund’s performance may be impacted by the general condition of the health care sector.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced PRIMECAP Core Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.04","rSquaredPrimary":"0.70","betaBroadBased":"1.04","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.72"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1220","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"46.81","priceChangeAmount":"-0.43","priceChangePct":"-0.91","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.64","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"26.41"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-12-09T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"PRIMECAP Core Fund       ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1220","name":"PRIMECAP Core Fund       ","calendarYTDPct":"24.41","prevMonthPct":"-7.86","threeMonthPct":"8.58","oneYrPct":"48.57","threeYrPct":"24.76","fiveYrPct":"15.52","tenYrPct":"16.20","sinceInceptionPct":"12.67","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1850","ticker":"VRGWX","instrumentId":6084071,"shortName":"Russell 1000 Growth Inst","longName":"Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"92206C672","inceptionDate":"2010-12-06T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Russ1000GwthIdxInst ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell 1000 Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.78","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.70"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1849","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"442.43","priceChangeAmount":"1.68","priceChangePct":"0.38","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.50","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"23.77"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-12-10T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Russell 1000 Value Inst  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1849","name":"Russell 1000 Value Inst  ","calendarYTDPct":"20.63","prevMonthPct":"3.82","threeMonthPct":"9.26","oneYrPct":"31.11","threeYrPct":"17.83","fiveYrPct":"11.76","tenYrPct":"11.56","sinceInceptionPct":"11.72","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1854","ticker":"VRTTX","instrumentId":6084067,"shortName":"Russell 3000 Index Inst","longName":"Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"92206C581","inceptionDate":"2010-11-01T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Russ3000IdxInst     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification. </b>By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value. Concentration Risk. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries.

Because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. Additionally, the performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the target index. As a result, the performance of the target index, and therefore the performance of the fund, may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell 1000 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.97","rSquaredBroadBased":"1.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0135","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"195.80","priceChangeAmount":"-0.61","priceChangePct":"-0.31","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.92","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"12.64"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1999-02-24T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Tax-Managed Cap App Inst ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0135","name":"Tax-Managed Cap App Inst ","calendarYTDPct":"9.95","prevMonthPct":"-0.46","threeMonthPct":"4.15","oneYrPct":"19.21","threeYrPct":"18.81","fiveYrPct":"12.10","tenYrPct":"14.95","sinceInceptionPct":"9.04","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0023","ticker":"VWUSX","instrumentId":140282,"shortName":"U.S. Growth Fund Investor","longName":"Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"921910105","inceptionDate":"1959-01-06T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"USGro               ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund.

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a long-term investment horizon (ten years or longer), who are seeking growth in capital as a primary objective, and who are prepared to endure the sharp and sometimes prolonged declines in share prices that occur from time to time in the stock market. This price volatility is the trade-off for the potentially high returns that common stocks can provide. The level of current income produced by funds in this category ranges from moderate to very low.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Extended Market Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.24","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.82"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0598","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"184.62","priceChangeAmount":"-1.67","priceChangePct":"-0.90","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.01","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"17.03"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2000-11-13T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Extended Mkt Index Adm   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0598","name":"Extended Mkt Index Adm   ","calendarYTDPct":"13.51","prevMonthPct":"-4.13","threeMonthPct":"4.56","oneYrPct":"20.74","threeYrPct":"15.82","fiveYrPct":"6.09","tenYrPct":"11.56","sinceInceptionPct":"9.01","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1860","ticker":"VEMPX","instrumentId":6305884,"shortName":"Ext Mkt Index Inst Plus","longName":"Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares","cusip":"922908371","inceptionDate":"2011-01-14T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"ExtndIstPl          ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Russell Midcap Growth Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.05","rSquaredPrimary":"0.93","betaBroadBased":"1.34","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.81"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0301","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"24.96","priceChangeAmount":"-0.33","priceChangePct":"-1.30","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"-0.07","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"0.44"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1997-12-31T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Mid-Cap Growth Fund      ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0301","name":"Mid-Cap Growth Fund      ","calendarYTDPct":"-2.94","prevMonthPct":"-8.71","threeMonthPct":"0.75","oneYrPct":"-1.54","threeYrPct":"8.46","fiveYrPct":"1.33","tenYrPct":"9.51","sinceInceptionPct":"9.65","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5832","ticker":"VMGMX","instrumentId":7532422,"shortName":"Mid-Cap Gr Idx Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921937728","inceptionDate":"2011-09-27T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"MdCpGrAdml          ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Small Cap Value Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.96","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.64"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0865","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"59.66","priceChangeAmount":"-0.19","priceChangePct":"-0.32","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.91","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"18.47"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1999-12-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Small-Cap Value Idx Inst ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0865","name":"Small-Cap Value Idx Inst ","calendarYTDPct":"16.66","prevMonthPct":"0.72","threeMonthPct":"5.72","oneYrPct":"25.75","threeYrPct":"14.32","fiveYrPct":"9.75","tenYrPct":"10.58","sinceInceptionPct":"10.36","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0059","ticker":"VPMCX","instrumentId":140302,"shortName":"PRIMECAP Fund Investor","longName":"Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"921936100","inceptionDate":"1984-11-01T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Prmcp               ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock -

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Growth Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li>\n<li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1853","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"532.92","priceChangeAmount":"-5.92","priceChangePct":"-1.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"0.42","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"18.86"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2011-05-25T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Russell 2000 Growth Inst ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1853","name":"Russell 2000 Growth Inst ","calendarYTDPct":"15.09","prevMonthPct":"-5.85","threeMonthPct":"3.21","oneYrPct":"28.55","threeYrPct":"14.43","fiveYrPct":"5.17","tenYrPct":"10.71","sinceInceptionPct":"10.43","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1851","ticker":"VRTIX","instrumentId":6084070,"shortName":"Russell 2000 Index Inst","longName":"Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"92206C656","inceptionDate":"2010-12-22T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"Russ2000IdxInst     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock - More Aggressive","category":"Small Blend","customizedStyle":"Stock - Small-Cap Blend","equityInvestmentStyleId":"8","equityInvestmentStyleName":"Small-cap blend","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0500","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-02T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":true,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":true,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"etfFundId":"3351","institutionalFundId":"1851"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Stock - Small-Cap Blend","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":11,"name":"Domestic Stock - More Aggressive"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1108,"name":"Small Blend"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":2500000,"minimumInitialInvestment":5000000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing. </b>The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk. </b>Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions.

World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Tax-Managed Investing.</b> There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to successfully implement its tax-management strategy. Market conditions or other circumstances may limit the fund’s ability to generate tax losses or to generate dividend income taxed at favorable tax rates. The fund has, and may in the future, distribute current income or capital gains. Though the fund seeks to invest in the stocks that make up its target index, its ability to do so may be affected by its tax-management strategy. As a result, the fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar fund that is not tax-managed. The fund’s tax-management strategy may also cause the fund to underperform the broader market. For example, the fund may hold a security in order to achieve more favorable tax-treatment or sell a security to create tax losses, either of which may impact returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. Additionally, the performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Tax-Managed Investing.</b> There is no guarantee that the fund will be able to successfully implement its tax-management strategy. Market conditions or other circumstances may limit the fund’s ability to generate tax losses or to generate dividend income taxed at favorable tax rates. The fund has, and may in the future, distribute current income or capital gains. Though the fund seeks to invest in the stocks that make up its target index, its ability to do so may be affected by its tax-management strategy. As a result, the fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar fund that is not tax-managed. The fund’s tax-management strategy may also cause the fund to underperform the broader market. For example, the fund may hold a security in order to achieve more favorable tax-treatment or sell a security to create tax losses, either of which may impact returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. Additionally, the performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P SmallCap 600 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"1.11","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.60"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0118","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"120.15","priceChangeAmount":"-0.50","priceChangePct":"-0.41","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.46","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"22.84"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1999-04-21T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Tax-Managed Sm-Cap Inst  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0118","name":"Tax-Managed Sm-Cap Inst  ","calendarYTDPct":"21.82","prevMonthPct":"-1.92","threeMonthPct":"6.39","oneYrPct":"33.80","threeYrPct":"13.29","fiveYrPct":"7.53","tenYrPct":"10.76","sinceInceptionPct":"10.42","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5488","ticker":"VTCAX","instrumentId":1352662,"shortName":"Comm Services Idx Admiral","longName":"Vanguard Communication Services Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92204A777","inceptionDate":"2005-03-11T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"TeleComAd           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock - Sector-Specific","category":"Communications","customizedStyle":"Stock - Sector","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0900","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2025-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":true,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":true,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":true,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"5488","etfFundId":"0959"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Stock - Sector","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":13,"name":"Domestic Stock - Sector-Specific"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1301,"name":"Communications"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":1000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":100000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"100000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"100000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"100000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"100000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider.

World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities.

Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Energy Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the energy sector, its performance will be impacted by the general condition of the sector. Companies in the energy sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including fluctuations in the prices of oil, gas, and other commodities, as well as changes in supply and demand for energy resources. Operational risks such as exploration and production costs and the success or failure of exploration efforts also play a role.

The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds. </b>The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Financials Sector. </b>Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the financials sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the financials sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including economic conditions that require changes to interest rates or other Federal rates, which can affect profitability. Changing consumer sentiment, which can lead to bank runs and cause other financial instability, and external factors such as credit losses or downgrades, can also affect the sector. Government regulation and intervention can affect capital and liquidity requirements and the overall size of the institution.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced U.S. Investable Market Financials 25/50 Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.84","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.53"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/5486","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"71.29","priceChangeAmount":"0.78","priceChangePct":"1.11","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.53","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"7.62"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2004-02-04T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Financials Index Fund Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"5486","name":"Financials Index Fund Adm","calendarYTDPct":"5.34","prevMonthPct":"5.82","threeMonthPct":"9.34","oneYrPct":"10.98","threeYrPct":"19.62","fiveYrPct":"11.35","tenYrPct":"13.30","sinceInceptionPct":"6.92","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0052","ticker":"VGHCX","instrumentId":140273,"shortName":"Health Care Fund Inv","longName":"Vanguard Health Care Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"921908307","inceptionDate":"1984-05-23T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"HlthCare            ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock - Sector-Specific","category":"Health","customizedStyle":"Stock - Sector","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3300","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-05-28T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":true,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":true,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0052","admiralFundId":"0552"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Stock - Sector","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":13,"name":"Domestic Stock - Sector-Specific"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1303,"name":"Health"}},"largeTransactionAmount":50000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":50000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Health Care Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in companies within the health care sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the health care sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including rising costs of medical products and services, the rapid speed at which many health care products and services become obsolete, the possibility that regulatory approvals (which often entail lengthy application and testing procedures) will not be granted for new drugs and medical products, labor shortages, and/or litigation and product liability claims. These companies also rely on significant investments in research and development, leading to patented intellectual property. Expiring patents can impact a company’s future profitability. Government regulation and restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses can also impact the sector.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions.

In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index.

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market.

Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap). </b>Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing. </b>The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index.

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Real Estate Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in the real estate sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the real estate sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, supply and demand for properties, changes in interest rates, general or local economic conditions, the strength of specific industries that rent properties, and/or regulatory changes. Real estate companies might be heavily focused on one geographic market, which could affect those companies more than companies with greater geographic diversification. Real estate companies may rely on leverage, which, while used to help magnify returns, also has the negative effect of magnifying losses. In addition, the real estate industry historically has been sensitive to economic downturns and other events that limit demand for real estate, which would adversely impact the value of real estate investments.</li><li><b>Investing in REITs.</b> In addition to the risks associated with the real estate sector, the fund’s investments in equity REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties they own. An individual REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns and on how well the REIT manages its properties. Interest rate increases can make it more difficult and costly to acquire financing, which could restrict cash flows and negatively affect their operations and values. During periods of rising interest rates, REIT stock prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. In addition, unlike corporations, REITs do not have to pay income taxes if they meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements. Loss of IRS status as a qualified REIT would negatively impact the REIT’s overall investment returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues.

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a long-term investment horizon (ten years or longer), who are seeking growth in capital as a primary objective, and who are prepared to endure the sharp and sometimes prolonged declines in share prices that occur from time to time in the stock market. This price volatility is the trade-off for the potentially high returns that common stocks can provide. The level of current income produced by funds in this category ranges from moderate to very low.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Real Estate Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in the real estate sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the real estate sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, supply and demand for properties, changes in interest rates, general or local economic conditions, the strength of specific industries that rent properties, and/or regulatory changes. Real estate companies might be heavily focused on one geographic market, which could affect those companies more than companies with greater geographic diversification. Real estate companies may rely on leverage, which, while used to help magnify returns, also has the negative effect of magnifying losses. In addition, the real estate industry historically has been sensitive to economic downturns and other events that limit demand for real estate, which would adversely impact the value of real estate investments.</li><li><b>Investing in REITs.</b> In addition to the risks associated with the real estate sector, the fund’s investments in equity REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties they own. An individual REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns and on how well the REIT manages its properties. Interest rate increases can make it more difficult and costly to acquire financing, which could restrict cash flows and negatively affect their operations and values. During periods of rising interest rates, REIT stock prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. In addition, unlike corporations, REITs do not have to pay income taxes if they meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements. Loss of IRS status as a qualified REIT would negatively impact the REIT’s overall investment returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Nondiversified funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Real Estate Spliced Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"1.00","betaBroadBased":"0.89","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.52"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/3123","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"21.73","priceChangeAmount":"0.13","priceChangePct":"0.60","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":true},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"14.17"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2003-12-02T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Real Estate Index Institl","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"3123","name":"Real Estate Index Institl","calendarYTDPct":"13.96","prevMonthPct":"2.55","threeMonthPct":"3.61","oneYrPct":"15.28","threeYrPct":"9.34","fiveYrPct":"2.45","tenYrPct":"4.77","sinceInceptionPct":"8.12","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5489","ticker":"VUIAX","instrumentId":1097944,"shortName":"Utilities Index Fund Adm","longName":"Vanguard Utilities Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"92204A769","inceptionDate":"2004-04-28T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"UtilIxAd            ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Domestic Stock - Sector-Specific","category":"Utilities","customizedStyle":"Stock - Sector","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0900","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2025-12-19T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":true,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":true,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":true,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"5489","etfFundId":"0960"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Stock - Sector","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":13,"name":"Domestic Stock - Sector-Specific"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1308,"name":"Utilities"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":1000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":100000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"100000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"100000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"100000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"100000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under Investing in <b>Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World

This price volatility is the trade-off for the potentially high returns that common stocks can provide.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Impact Risk.</b> The fund may not be successful in assessing or identifying companies that have or could have a positive impact or support an environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) position. In some circumstances, companies could ultimately have a negative impact, or no impact, on addressing a global challenge or on ESG matters.</li><li><b>ESG Investing.</b> The fund is subject to ESG investing risks. The advisor selects securities for the fund based on the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies. As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The advisor’s use of ESG criteria may result in the fund becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The advisor’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the advisor depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues.

In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. The fund also may invest in frontier markets which have even smaller economies and less developed capital markets and which carry even greater risks, including potential liquidity issues and challenges clearing and settling trades. There is also the possibility for disruptions, corrections, and failed settlements, which can result in trading losses. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Developed ex US Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index","betaPrimary":"0.93","rSquaredPrimary":"0.97","betaBroadBased":"0.97","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.94"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0127","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"23.49","priceChangeAmount":"-0.12","priceChangePct":"-0.51","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"17.85"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1999-08-17T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Devel Markets Idx Admiral","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0127","name":"Devel Markets Idx Admiral","calendarYTDPct":"14.18","prevMonthPct":"-0.70","threeMonthPct":"3.43","oneYrPct":"29.92","threeYrPct":"17.75","fiveYrPct":"9.83","tenYrPct":"9.95","sinceInceptionPct":"5.84","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1457","ticker":"VDIPX","instrumentId":11696526,"shortName":"Dev Mkt Index Inst Plus","longName":"Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares","cusip":"92206J206","inceptionDate":"2014-04-01T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"TxMInInPl           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Foreign Large Blend","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0200","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-04-28T00:00:00-04:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":true,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"1397","admiralFundId":"0127","etfFundId":"0936","institutionalFundId":"0137","institutionalPlusFundId":"1457"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1210,"name":"Foreign Large Blend"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":100000000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"100000000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"100000000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"100000000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisors’ security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"FTSE Emerging Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Net","betaPrimary":"1.00","rSquaredPrimary":"0.91","betaBroadBased":"0.94","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.80"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0752","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"32.48","priceChangeAmount":"-0.33","priceChangePct":"-1.01","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"15.71"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2011-06-27T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Emrg Mkts Select Stk Fund","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0752","name":"Emrg Mkts Select Stk Fund","calendarYTDPct":"14.54","prevMonthPct":"-0.86","threeMonthPct":"0.91","oneYrPct":"32.17","threeYrPct":"16.61","fiveYrPct":"7.32","tenYrPct":"9.29","sinceInceptionPct":"5.52","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5533","ticker":"VEMAX","instrumentId":2315301,"shortName":"Emerging Mkts Stk Idx Adm","longName":"Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922042841","inceptionDate":"2006-06-23T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"EmMkAdml            ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Diversified Emerging Markets","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1300","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0533","admiralFundId":"5533","etfFundId":"0964","institutionalFundId":"0239","institutionalPlusFundId":"1865"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1201,"name":"Diversified Emerging Markets"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"3000","threeToTenYr":"3000","OverTenYr":"3000"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under Investing in <b>Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index provider or by errors made by the index provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Emerging Markets Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index","betaPrimary":"0.88","rSquaredPrimary":"0.96","betaBroadBased":"0.77","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.76"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1865","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"125.57","priceChangeAmount":"-1.15","priceChangePct":"-0.91","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"11.42"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-12-15T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Em Mkts Stk Inx Inst Plus","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1865","name":"Em Mkts Stk Inx Inst Plus","calendarYTDPct":"9.20","prevMonthPct":"-1.80","threeMonthPct":"0.10","oneYrPct":"20.52","threeYrPct":"14.22","fiveYrPct":"6.10","tenYrPct":"7.81","sinceInceptionPct":"4.33","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0239","ticker":"VEMIX","instrumentId":519174,"shortName":"Emerging Mkts Stk Ix Inst","longName":"Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"922042601","inceptionDate":"2000-06-22T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"EmergInst           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Diversified Emerging Markets","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0600","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":true,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0533","admiralFundId":"5533","etfFundId":"0964","institutionalFundId":"0239","institutionalPlusFundId":"1865"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1201,"name":"Diversified Emerging Markets"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":5000000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions.

Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the target index regardless of how the target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.<br></li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global Small-Cap ex US Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index","betaPrimary":"0.94","rSquaredPrimary":"0.98","betaBroadBased":"1.00","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.91"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/2284","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"39.28","priceChangeAmount":"-0.14","priceChangePct":"-0.36","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"11.54"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2019-02-07T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"FTSE AW xUS Sm-Cp Idx Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"2284","name":"FTSE AW xUS Sm-Cp Idx Adm","calendarYTDPct":"5.29","prevMonthPct":"-2.60","threeMonthPct":"-4.45","oneYrPct":"15.98","threeYrPct":"12.65","fiveYrPct":"4.90","sinceInceptionPct":"8.33","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0884","ticker":"VFSNX","instrumentId":4580399,"shortName":"FTSE AW xUS Sm-Cp Idx Ist","longName":"Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Small-Cap Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"922042726","inceptionDate":"2009-04-02T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"AWxUSSCIst          ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Foreign Small/Mid Growth","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":true,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"2284","etfFundId":"3184","institutionalFundId":"0884"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1213,"name":"Foreign Small/Mid Growth"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":2500000,"minimumInitialInvestment":5000000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Industry Concentration.</b> The fund concentrates its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the precious metals and mining industry. As a result, the fund’s performance depends to a greater extent on the overall condition of, and is more susceptible to events affecting, this industry.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Global Capital Cycles Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index Net","betaPrimary":"0.93","rSquaredPrimary":"0.76","betaBroadBased":"0.77","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.41"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0053","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"24.97","priceChangeAmount":"-0.08","priceChangePct":"-0.32","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"23.82"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1984-05-23T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Global Capital Cycles Fnd","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0053","name":"Global Capital Cycles Fnd","calendarYTDPct":"16.38","prevMonthPct":"3.30","threeMonthPct":"1.91","oneYrPct":"56.05","threeYrPct":"27.34","fiveYrPct":"20.54","tenYrPct":"9.10","sinceInceptionPct":"6.10","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V012","ticker":"VEOIX","instrumentId":52679597,"shortName":"Glbl Envir Opps Stk Inv","longName":"Vanguard Global Environmental Opportunities Stock Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"921939807","inceptionDate":"2022-11-16T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanEnvOppInv        ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"World Stock","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.7000","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"V012","admiralFundId":"V013"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1208,"name":"World Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":100000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":100000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"2000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":4,"level":"Moderate to Aggressive","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>ESG Investing.</b> The fund is subject to ESG investing risks. The advisor selects securities for the fund based on the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies. As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The advisor’s use of ESG criteria may result in the fund becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The advisor’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the advisor depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li>\n<li><b>Environmental Company Focus.</b> The fund’s focus on stocks of environmental companies limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that do not have such a focus and/or the market prices of the fund’s holdings may be more volatile than those of more diversified funds. Focusing on environmental companies may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or forgoing opportunities to invest in securities that might otherwise be advantageous to buy. Additionally, the fund may hold securities of environmental companies that, subsequent to the fund’s investment in such securities, no longer meet the criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies. If this occurs, the fund may sell such a security at an inopportune time or at a time when the security is difficult to sell, or may incur expenses in an effort to dispose of such a security.<br>\nThe fund is more susceptible to events or factors affecting environmental companies, which may include changes in global and regional climates, regulatory actions related to environmental protection, changes in government standards and subsidy levels, changes in taxation, and other domestic and international political, regulatory, and economic developments. In addition, environmental companies may have more limited operating histories and smaller market capitalizations, on average, than companies in other sectors.</li>\n<li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets.

Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets, Investing in Emerging Markets,</b> and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap.

Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li>\n<li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li>\n<li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li>\n<li><b>Industry Concentration.</b> The fund concentrates its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in climate change-related industries. As a result, the fund’s performance depends to a greater extent on the overall condition of, and is more susceptible to events affecting, this industry.</li>\n<li><b>Industrials Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the industrials sector made up a significant portion of the fund’s investment portfolio. As a result, the fund’s performance may be impacted by the general condition of the industrials sector.</li>\n<li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the fund’s investment portfolio. As a result, the fund’s performance may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li>\n<li><b>Issuer Focus.</b> The fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the fund’s performance can be negatively affected by the performance of even one of these issuers, and the fund’s shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V012","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"26.12","priceChangeAmount":"-0.11","priceChangePct":"-0.42","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"13.71"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2022-11-16T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Glbl Envir Opps Stk Inv  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V012","name":"Glbl Envir Opps Stk Inv  ","calendarYTDPct":"11.54","prevMonthPct":"-2.84","threeMonthPct":"0.79","oneYrPct":"18.86","threeYrPct":"7.44","sinceInceptionPct":"7.91","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V013","ticker":"VEOAX","instrumentId":52679596,"shortName":"Glbl Envir Opps Stk Adm","longName":"Vanguard Global Environmental Opportunities Stock Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921939880","inceptionDate":"2022-11-16T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanEnvOppAdm        ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"World Stock","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.5500","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"V012","admiralFundId":"V013"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1208,"name":"World Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":100000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":100000,"minimumInitialInvestment":50000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"50000","threeToTenYr":"50000","OverTenYr":"50000"}},"risk":{"code":4,"level":"Moderate to Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate to aggressive are broadly diversified but are subject to wide fluctuations in share price because they hold virtually all of their assets in common stocks.

The advisor’s use of ESG criteria may result in the fund becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The advisor’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the advisor depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li><li><b>Environmental Company Focus.</b> The fund’s focus on stocks of environmental companies limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the fund. As a result, the fund may underperform funds that do not have such a focus and/or the market prices of the fund’s holdings may be more volatile than those of more diversified funds. Focusing on environmental companies may result in the fund investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or forgoing opportunities to invest in securities that might otherwise be advantageous to buy. Additionally, the fund may hold securities of environmental companies that, subsequent to the fund’s investment in such securities, no longer meet the criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies. If this occurs, the fund may sell such a security at an inopportune time or at a time when the security is difficult to sell, or may incur expenses in an effort to dispose of such a security.<br>The fund is more susceptible to events or factors affecting environmental companies, which may include changes in global and regional climates, regulatory actions related to environmental protection, changes in government standards and subsidy levels, changes in taxation, and other domestic and international political, regulatory, and economic developments. In addition, environmental companies may have more limited operating histories and smaller market capitalizations, on average, than companies in other sectors.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets, Investing in Emerging Markets,</b> and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Growth Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to growth investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. Growth stocks typically produce lower yields because growth companies prefer to reinvest earnings into research and development to promote growth and increase profitability. Research and development can be expensive and may not always produce favorable results, which could harm a company’s performance relative to the broader market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Nondiversified Funds.</b> The fund is considered a nondiversified fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nondiversified funds invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers than diversified funds, their performance may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security, and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Industry Concentration.</b> The fund concentrates its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in climate change-related industries. As a result, the fund’s performance depends to a greater extent on the overall condition of, and is more susceptible to events affecting, this industry.</li><li><b>Industrials Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the industrials sector made up a significant portion of the fund’s investment portfolio. As a result, the fund’s performance may be impacted by the general condition of the industrials sector.</li><li><b>Information Technology Sector.</b> As of the fund’s most recent fiscal year end, stocks of companies within the information technology sector made up a significant portion of the fund’s investment portfolio. As a result, the fund’s performance may be impacted by the general condition of the information technology sector.</li><li><b>Issuer Focus.</b> The fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the fund’s performance can be negatively affected by the performance of even one of these issuers, and the fund’s shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index Net","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA","betaPrimary":"1.01","rSquaredPrimary":"0.64"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/V013","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"32.69","priceChangeAmount":"-0.14","priceChangePct":"-0.43","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"13.82"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2022-11-16T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Glbl Envir Opps Stk Adm  ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"V013","name":"Glbl Envir Opps Stk Adm  ","calendarYTDPct":"11.66","prevMonthPct":"-2.82","threeMonthPct":"0.82","oneYrPct":"19.04","threeYrPct":"7.61","sinceInceptionPct":"8.07","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0129","ticker":"VHGEX","instrumentId":140335,"shortName":"Global Equity Fund","longName":"Vanguard Global Equity Fund","cusip":"922038203","inceptionDate":"1995-08-14T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"GlbEq               ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"World Stock","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-01-28T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0129"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1208,"name":"World Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":10000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":10000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"2000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

In general, such funds are appropriate for investors who have a long-term investment horizon (ten years or longer), who are seeking growth in capital as a primary objective, and who are prepared to endure the sharp and sometimes prolonged declines in share prices that occur from time to time in the stock market. This price volatility is the trade-off for the potentially high returns that common stocks can provide. The level of current income produced by funds in this category ranges from moderate to very low.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>ESG Investing.</b> The fund is subject to ESG investing risks. The advisor selects securities for the fund based on the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies. As a result, the fund’s investments could, in the aggregate, trail the returns of other funds that use ESG criteria or underperform the market as a whole. The advisor’s use of ESG criteria may result in the fund becoming focused, at times, in a particular market sector, which would subject the fund to proportionately higher exposure to the risks of that sector. Interpretations of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics can—and do—vary significantly across individuals, advisors, and other funds that use ESG criteria. The advisor’s assessment of whether or not a company or issuer meets the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, or the ESG criteria itself, may not align with your personal view of what it means for a company or issuer to exhibit ESG characteristics generally. Further, individual securities held by the fund may not reflect your personal preferences, beliefs, expectations, and/or values. In order to assess a company or issuer against the ESG criteria described in the fund’s principal investment strategies, the advisor depends on the availability of data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting. There can be no assurance that this data will be accurate, complete, or current, which could result in an inaccurate assessment of a company or issuer.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed.

Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>Real Estate Sector.</b> Due to the fund’s heavy investment in the real estate sector, its performance will be impacted by the general health of the sector. Companies in the real estate sector can be negatively affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, supply and demand for properties, changes in interest rates, general or local economic conditions, the strength of specific industries that rent properties, and/or regulatory changes. Real estate companies might be heavily focused on one geographic market, which could affect those companies more than companies with greater geographic diversification. Real estate companies may rely on leverage, which, while used to help magnify returns, also has the negative effect of magnifying losses. In addition, the real estate industry historically has been sensitive to economic downturns and other events that limit demand for real estate, which would adversely impact the value of real estate investments.</li><li><b>Investing in REITs.</b> In addition to the risks associated with the real estate sector, the fund’s investments in equity REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying properties they own. An individual REIT’s performance depends on the types and locations of the properties it owns and on how well the REIT manages its properties. Interest rate increases can make it more difficult and costly to acquire financing, which could restrict cash flows and negatively affect their operations and values. During periods of rising interest rates, REIT stock prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. In addition, unlike corporations, REITs do not have to pay income taxes if they meet certain Internal Revenue Code requirements. Loss of IRS status as a qualified REIT would negatively impact the REIT’s overall investment returns.</li><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors.

The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.<br></li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"S&P Global ex U.S. Property Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Net","betaPrimary":"0.96","rSquaredPrimary":"0.99","betaBroadBased":"1.03","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.76"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1758","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"27.78","priceChangeAmount":"-0.03","priceChangePct":"-0.11","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.25"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2011-02-10T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Gbl ex-US Real Est Ix Adm","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1758","name":"Gbl ex-US Real Est Ix Adm","calendarYTDPct":"-0.29","prevMonthPct":"2.21","threeMonthPct":"-3.17","oneYrPct":"6.01","threeYrPct":"7.41","fiveYrPct":"-0.73","tenYrPct":"2.08","sinceInceptionPct":"3.56","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1858","ticker":"VGRNX","instrumentId":6186250,"shortName":"Gbl ex-US Real Est Ix Ist","longName":"Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate Index Fund Institutional Shares","cusip":"922042684","inceptionDate":"2011-04-19T00:00:00-04:00","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"World Stock","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1100","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":true,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"1758","etfFundId":"3358","institutionalFundId":"1858"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1208,"name":"World Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":1000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":5000000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"5000000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period.

In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li>\n<li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li>\n<li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li>\n<li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li>\n<li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.<br>\n</li>\n</ul>\n"},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1858","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"92.46","priceChangeAmount":"-0.09","priceChangePct":"-0.10","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"-0.24"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2011-04-19T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Gbl ex-US Real Est Ix Ist","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1858","name":"Gbl ex-US Real Est Ix Ist","calendarYTDPct":"-0.25","prevMonthPct":"2.24","threeMonthPct":"-3.14","oneYrPct":"6.07","threeYrPct":"7.43","fiveYrPct":"-0.72","tenYrPct":"2.09","sinceInceptionPct":"3.46","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1194","ticker":"VMVFX","instrumentId":11664068,"shortName":"Global Min Vol Investor","longName":"Vanguard Global Minimum Volatility Fund Investor Shares","cusip":"921946877","inceptionDate":"2013-12-12T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"GMinVolInv          ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"World Stock","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.2100","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"1194","admiralFundId":"0594"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1208,"name":"World Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":5000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":5000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"2000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":4,"level":"Moderate to Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate to aggressive are broadly diversified but are subject to wide fluctuations in share price because they hold virtually all of their assets in common stocks.

The Fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below.

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets.

It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the Fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the Fund could be subject to additional loss.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The Fund invests in the equity markets.

The returns of the securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may be materially lower than those of the broader equity market over extended periods. Although the Fund seeks to achieve lower volatility relative to the broader equity market, stocks in the Fund’s portfolio may be subject to price volatility, and their prices may not be less volatile (and could be more volatile), than the equity market as a whole. Lower volatility stocks may underperform the broader market during periods of strong, rising or speculative stock prices. In addition, there may be periods when equity securities with lower volatility are out of favor, and during such periods, the performance of the Fund may suffer.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The Fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the Fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the Fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the Fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the Fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the Fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the Fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the Fund’s derivatives positions. The Fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the Fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the Fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the Fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap Index Hdg.","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Net","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA Net","betaPrimary":"0.84","rSquaredPrimary":"0.93","betaBroadBased":"0.84","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.93"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/2404","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"19.39","priceChangeAmount":"-0.14","priceChangePct":"-0.72","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"14.60"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2019-10-16T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Intl Core Stock Investor ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"2404","name":"Intl Core Stock Investor ","calendarYTDPct":"13.30","prevMonthPct":"-1.24","threeMonthPct":"3.12","oneYrPct":"31.09","threeYrPct":"20.59","fiveYrPct":"12.20","sinceInceptionPct":"12.87","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0534","ticker":"VZICX","instrumentId":34953884,"shortName":"Intl Core Stock Admiral","longName":"Vanguard International Core Stock Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922038880","inceptionDate":"2019-10-16T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanIntCoAdm         ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Foreign Large Blend","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.3800","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-01-28T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"2404","admiralFundId":"0534"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1210,"name":"Foreign Large Blend"}},"largeTransactionAmount":5000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":10000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":50000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"50000","threeToTenYr":"50000","OverTenYr":"50000"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index.The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Nondiversification.</b> By tracking its broad-based Target index, the fund could become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. The performance of nondiversified funds may be negatively impacted by relatively few securities or even a single security and their shares may experience significant fluctuations in value.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.<br></li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced S&P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index in USD NTR","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"S&P Global Ex-U.S. BMI (USD)","betaPrimary":"0.94","rSquaredPrimary":"0.97","betaBroadBased":"0.74","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.72"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0515","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"47.85","priceChangeAmount":"-0.08","priceChangePct":"-0.17","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"9.00"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2016-03-02T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Intl Div App Idx Admiral ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0515","name":"Intl Div App Idx Admiral ","calendarYTDPct":"7.17","prevMonthPct":"3.39","threeMonthPct":"5.00","oneYrPct":"15.04","threeYrPct":"10.35","fiveYrPct":"5.20","tenYrPct":"7.95","sinceInceptionPct":"8.78","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"V021","ticker":"VIDGX","instrumentId":59786564,"shortName":"IntlDividendGrowth","longName":"Vanguard International Dividend Growth Fund","cusip":"921946729","inceptionDate":"2023-11-15T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VanIntDivGrowth     ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Foreign Large Blend","customizedStyle":"International","equityInvestmentStyleId":"2","equityInvestmentStyleName":"Large-cap blend","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.5300","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":true,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"V021"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1210,"name":"Foreign Large Blend"}},"largeTransactionAmount":100000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":100000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"2000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":4,"level":"Moderate to Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate to aggressive are broadly diversified but are subject to wide fluctuations in share price because they hold virtually all of their assets in common stocks.

These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets.

World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities.

Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets. </b>The fund invests in the equity markets.

The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk. </b>The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets. </b>Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets. </b>Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk. </b>The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund.

The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Value Investing.</b> The fund’s approach to value investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that use a different investment style. The fund’s investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the stocks’ valuations do not improve at the anticipated rate or that their returns do not move in tandem with the returns of other investment styles or the broader stock market.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under Investing in <b>Foreign Markets</b>, <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk</b> apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisors’ security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced International Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"MSCI All Country World Index ex USA","betaPrimary":"0.94","rSquaredPrimary":"0.92","betaBroadBased":"0.94","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.92"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0046","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"49.06","priceChangeAmount":"-0.13","priceChangePct":"-0.26","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"19.02"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"1983-05-16T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"International Value Fund ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0046","name":"International Value Fund ","calendarYTDPct":"17.22","prevMonthPct":"3.05","threeMonthPct":"7.76","oneYrPct":"33.16","threeYrPct":"15.39","fiveYrPct":"9.42","tenYrPct":"9.49","sinceInceptionPct":"8.83","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0572","ticker":"VPADX","instrumentId":519282,"shortName":"Pacific Stock Index Adm","longName":"Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922042700","inceptionDate":"2001-08-13T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"PacifAdml           ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Diversified Pacific/Asia Stock","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0900","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":true,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0072","admiralFundId":"0572","etfFundId":"0962","institutionalFundId":"0237"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1202,"name":"Diversified Pacific/Asia Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":2500000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"Minimum investment","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"},"admiral":{"threeYrOrLess":"3000","threeToTenYr":"3000","OverTenYr":"3000"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets,</b> <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Total International Stock Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index","betaPrimary":"0.92","rSquaredPrimary":"0.97","betaBroadBased":"0.92","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.97"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0569","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"46.81","priceChangeAmount":"-0.29","priceChangePct":"-0.62","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"16.11"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-11-29T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Tot Intl Stock Ix Admiral","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0569","name":"Tot Intl Stock Ix Admiral","calendarYTDPct":"12.86","prevMonthPct":"-0.96","threeMonthPct":"2.55","oneYrPct":"27.31","threeYrPct":"16.82","fiveYrPct":"8.83","tenYrPct":"9.34","sinceInceptionPct":"7.08","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"1870","ticker":"VTPSX","instrumentId":6279068,"shortName":"Tot Intl Stock Ix Inst Pl","longName":"Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares","cusip":"921909776","inceptionDate":"2010-11-30T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"TotIntLInstPlusIdx  ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"Foreign Large Blend","customizedStyle":"International","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0500","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":true,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":true,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":false,"isInstitutionalShare":true,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"investorFundId":"0113","admiralFundId":"0569","etfFundId":"3369","institutionalFundId":"1869","institutionalPlusFundId":"1870"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1210,"name":"Foreign Large Blend"}},"largeTransactionAmount":25000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":25000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":100000000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"100000000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"100000000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"100000000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices.

The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Foreign Markets.</b> Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Investments Economically Tied to China.</b> The risks described under <b>Investing in Foreign Markets,</b> <b>Investing in Emerging Markets</b>, and <b>Currency Risk </b>apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the fund. For example, the fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the fund may incur losses. Additionally, the fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Investing in Equity Markets.</b> The fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the fund.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Total International Stock Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index","betaPrimary":"0.92","rSquaredPrimary":"0.97","betaBroadBased":"0.92","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.97"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/1869","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"187.20","priceChangeAmount":"-1.17","priceChangePct":"-0.62","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"16.12"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2010-11-29T00:00:00-05:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Tot Intl Stock Ix Inst   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"1869","name":"Tot Intl Stock Ix Inst   ","calendarYTDPct":"12.87","prevMonthPct":"-0.96","threeMonthPct":"2.56","oneYrPct":"27.36","threeYrPct":"16.85","fiveYrPct":"8.87","tenYrPct":"9.38","sinceInceptionPct":"7.11","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"5028","ticker":"VTWAX","instrumentId":32101354,"shortName":"Total World Stock Idx Adm","longName":"Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"922042619","inceptionDate":"2019-02-07T00:00:00-05:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"TtlWldIxAdml        ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"International/Global Stock","category":"World Stock","customizedStyle":"International","equityInvestmentStyleId":"2","equityInvestmentStyleName":"Large-cap blend","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.0900","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":true,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":true,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":false,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":true,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":false,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":true,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"5028","etfFundId":"3141","institutionalFundId":"0826"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"International","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":12,"name":"International/Global Stock"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1208,"name":"World Stock"}},"largeTransactionAmount":10000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":10000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":3000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Index"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"3000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":4,"level":"Moderate to Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as moderate to aggressive are broadly diversified but are subject to wide fluctuations in share price because they hold virtually all of their assets in common stocks.

In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.</li><li><b>Investing in Emerging Markets.</b> Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the fund’s investments and/or impact the fund’s performance.</li><li><b>Currency Risk.</b> The fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the fund’s holdings.</li><li><b>Market Capitalization (Market Cap).</b> Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small-and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market.</li><li><b>Index Investing.</b> The fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target index regardless of how the Target index is performing, the fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Additionally, because the fund does not hold all of the securities included in the Target index, it is subject to the risk that the representative sample of securities selected by the advisor will, in the aggregate, vary from the investment profile of the full Target index. The performance of the fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target index made by the index Provider or by errors made by the index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the index Provider will generally be borne by the fund and, as a result, the fund’s shareholders.</li><li><b>Concentration Risk.</b> Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target index, the fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target index becomes concentrated and the fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated.<br></li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Spliced Total World Stock Index","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"FTSE Global All Cap Index","betaPrimary":"0.97","rSquaredPrimary":"0.99","betaBroadBased":"0.97","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.99"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0826","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"326.73","priceChangeAmount":"-1.44","priceChangePct":"-0.44","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"hasDisclaimer":false},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"14.15"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2008-10-09T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Total World Stock Idx Ist","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0826","name":"Total World Stock Idx Ist","calendarYTDPct":"11.27","prevMonthPct":"-0.63","threeMonthPct":"3.60","oneYrPct":"22.25","threeYrPct":"18.00","fiveYrPct":"10.62","tenYrPct":"12.29","sinceInceptionPct":"11.54","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}},{"type":"priceMonthEndPerformance","profile":{"fundId":"0517","ticker":"VCMDX","instrumentId":33740148,"shortName":"Commodity Strategy Adm","longName":"Vanguard Commodity Strategy Fund Admiral Shares","cusip":"921939708","inceptionDate":"2019-06-25T00:00:00-04:00","newspaperAbbreviation":"VgComSgyAdm         ","style":"Stock Funds","type":"Specialty","category":"Commodities Broad Basket","customizedStyle":"Stock - Specialty","secDesignation":"","maximumYearlyInvestment":"","expenseRatio":"0.1600","expenseRatioAsOfDate":"2026-02-27T00:00:00-05:00","isInternalFund":true,"isExternalFund":false,"isMutualFund":true,"isETF":false,"isVLIP":false,"isVVAP":false,"is529":false,"hasAssociatedInvestorFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isPESite":false,"fundFact":{"isActiveFund":true,"isClosed":false,"isClosedToNewInvestors":false,"isFundOfFunds":false,"isMSCIIndexedFund":false,"isIndex":false,"isLoadFund":false,"isMoneyMarket":false,"isBond":false,"isBalanced":false,"isStock":true,"isInternational":false,"isMarketNeutralFund":false,"isInternationalStockFund":false,"isInternationalBalancedFund":false,"isDomesticStockFund":false,"isTaxable":true,"isTaxExempt":false,"isTaxManaged":false,"isTaxableBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptBondFund":false,"isTaxExemptMoneyMarketFund":false,"isTaxSensitiveFund":false,"isSpecialtyStockFund":true,"isHybridFund":false,"isGlobal":false,"isManagedPayoutFund":false,"isGNMAFund":false,"isInvestorShare":false,"isAdmiralShare":true,"isInstitutionalShare":false,"isAdmiralFund":false,"isStableValueFund":false,"isCompanyStockFund":false,"isREITFund":false,"isVariableInsuranceFund":false,"isComingledTrustFund":false,"isConvertibleFund":false,"isAssetAllocationFund":false,"isStateMunicipalBond":false,"isNationalMunicipalBond":false,"isQualifiedOnly":false,"isPreciousMetalsFund":false,"mIsVIPSFund":false,"isSectorSpecific":true,"hasOtherIndex":false,"isTargetRetirementFund":false,"isRetirementSavingsTrustFund":false,"isNon40ActFund":false,"isUnfundedFund":false,"isCreditSuisseFund":false,"isKaiserFund":false,"isFundAccessFund":false,"isFundTransferableToVGI":false,"hasTransactionFee":false,"isNTFFund":false,"hasMoreThan1ShareClass":false,"isOpenToFlagship":false,"isOpenToFlagshipPlus":false,"isCitFund":false,"isAcctType15Fund":false,"isEtfOfEtfs":false,"isStandaloneEtf":false,"isPEandNoteRetail":false},"associatedFundIds":{"admiralFundId":"0517"},"fundCategory":{"customizedHighCategoryName":"Stock - Specialty","high":{"type":"HIGH","id":1,"name":"Stock Funds"},"mid":{"type":"MID","id":13,"name":"Specialty"},"low":{"type":"LOW","id":1311,"name":"Commodities Broad Basket"}},"largeTransactionAmount":1000000,"qualifiedTransactionAmount":1000000,"minimumInitialInvestment":50000,"signalFundFlag":false,"fundManagementStyle":"Active"},"minimum":{"general":{"name":"General Account","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ira":{"name":"IRA","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"ugma":{"name":"UGMA/UTMA","initial":"50000","additional":"1"},"esa":{"name":"Education savings account","initial":"50000","additional":"1"}},"risk":{"code":5,"level":"Aggressive","levelDesc":"<p>Vanguard funds classified as aggressive are subject to extremely wide fluctuations in share prices. The unusually high volatility associated with these funds may stem from one or more of the following strategies: a concentration of fund holdings in a relatively low number of individual stocks, or in a particular sector of the stock market, or in a particular geographical region of the world; a heavy emphasis on small-capitalization stocks or growth stocks with relatively high market valuations; holdings of international stocks or bonds, which are subject to price declines caused by changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies; or investments in bonds that have exceptionally long average durations, whose prices are highly sensitive to changes in interest rates.</p>","plainTalk":"<p>As with any investment, an investment in the fund could lose money over any time period. The fund’s share price and total return may fluctuate, potentially within a wide range. The principal risks of investing in the fund are summarized below. Each of the following risks could affect the fund’s performance:</p><ul><li><b>General Market Risk.</b> The markets in which the fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the fund over short or long periods.</li><li><b>Investing in Commodities Markets.</b> Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the fund to greater volatility than investments in more traditional securities, and even a small movement in market prices could cause large losses to the fund. The fund could lose all, or substantially all, of its investments in instruments linked to the returns of commodity investments. Additionally, during periods of strong commodities market performance, the fund may recognize elevated levels of taxable income, which may lead to larger than usual distributions of ordinary income that will generally be taxable to shareholders.</li><li><b>Commodity-Linked Investments.</b> The prices of commodity-linked investments may fluctuate widely based on a variety of macroeconomic or commodity-specific factors that may not be anticipated by the fund’s advisors. Price fluctuations may be quick and significant and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes, such as stocks or bonds. Investments linked to the prices of commodities may be considered speculative and are expected to involve considerable risks. The fund could lose money at any time and may underperform the commodities markets during any given period, regardless of whether such markets rise or fall.</li><li><b>Investing in Derivatives.</b> Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty.<br>If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the fund’s derivatives positions. The fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the fund.<br>Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error.</li><li><b>Investing in a Subsidiary.</b> The fund is exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments, strategies, and policies, including the risk that the Subsidiary will not meet its investment objective (which is the same as the fund’s). Because the Subsidiary is not organized as a mutual fund and is not registered under any federal or state securities laws (including the Investment Company Act of 1940), it does not offer the same investor protections available to shareholders of registered investment companies. In addition, the tax treatment of the fund’s investment in the Subsidiary, or the ability of the fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as intended, may be adversely affected by changes to or interpretations of the laws or regulations of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, which may negatively affect the fund.</li><li><b>Investing in Bond Markets.</b> The fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings.</li><li><b>Inflation-Indexed Securities.</b> Because they are adjusted for inflation, TIPS and other inflation-indexed securities typically have lower yields than conventional bonds. As a result of its investment in such securities, the fund’s income distributions are likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of a conventional bond fund. In fact, under certain conditions, the fund may not have income to distribute at all. Although the prices of inflation-indexed securities are not meaningfully affected by changes in “nominal” (stated) interest rates, their prices may decline when “real” (adjusted for inflation) interest rates rise, and vice versa. The prices of inflation-indexed securities also are subject to decline if prices throughout the U.S. economy decline over time (a period of deflation), which could result in a loss to the fund and/or cause the fund’s performance to lag that of conventional bond funds.</li><li><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds.</li><li><b>Income Risk.</b> During periods of falling interest rates, the fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds.</li><li><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings.</li><li><b>Bond Liquidity Risk.</b> If the fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell.</li><li><b>Call Risk.</b> Certain bonds held by the fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the fund would result in the fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the fund’s turnover rate.</li><li><b>Regulated Investment Company Status.</b> Investing in commodity-linked investments could adversely affect the fund’s status as a regulated investment company (“RIC”). If the fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, the fund would be subject to fund-level taxation, reducing the amount of income available for distribution to shareholders and reducing the net asset value of its shares.</li><li><b>Active Management.</b> The fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective.</li></ul>","volatility":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","primaryBenchmarkName":"Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return","broadBasedBenchmarkName":"Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index","betaPrimary":"0.82","rSquaredPrimary":"0.92","betaBroadBased":"-0.04","rSquaredBroadBased":"0.00"}},"fees":{"purchaseFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"PURCHASE_FEE"},"redemptionFee":{"content":"None","FeeType":"REDEMPTION_FEE"}},"link":{"type":"application/xml,application/json","href":"http://api.vanguard.com/rs/ire/01/ind/etf,mf/vfa-month-end/0517","ref":"self"},"dailyPrice":{"regular":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","price":"32.52","priceChangeAmount":"-0.23","priceChangePct":"-0.70","currOrPrmlFlag":"CURR","currOrPrmlValue":"Price"}},"yield":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","yieldPct":"1.74","hasDisclaimer":false,"yieldNote":[{"footnoteCode":"B","footnoteText":"BASED ON HOLDINGS' YIELD TO MATURITY/DIVIDEND FOR LAST 30 DAYS OF PRIOR MONTH"}]},"ytd":{"asOfDate":"2026-08-24T00:00:00-04:00","regular":"25.03"},"monthEndAvgAnnualRtn":{"sinceInceptionAsOfDate":"2019-06-25T00:00:00-04:00","asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","shortName":"Commodity Strategy Adm   ","fundReturn":{"asOfDate":"2026-07-31T00:00:00-04:00","id":"0517","name":"Commodity Strategy Adm   ","calendarYTDPct":"17.84","prevMonthPct":"6.13","threeMonthPct":"-4.67","oneYrPct":"29.74","threeYrPct":"11.64","fiveYrPct":"10.32","sinceInceptionPct":"12.17","isLastMonthEndPerformanceDataAvailable":false}}}]}}
