Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard Equity Income Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide an above-average level of current income and reasonable long-term capital appreciation.
The fund invests in common stocks of mid-size and large companies selected for above-average dividend yields and perceived undervaluation, with a focus on firms committed to consistent dividend payments. Multiple independent investment advisors each build and maintain their own stock portfolios for the fund. Because each advisor independently selects securities, the fund's holdings and performance may diverge from what any single strategy would produce.
