What this fund is
Objective, as filed

Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small-capitalization stocks.

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the CRSP US Small Cap Index by holding all or substantially all of its constituent stocks in the same proportions as the index. Because the fund replicates the index rather than sampling it, performance will closely match the target index before fees.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 12.03%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

The 5 share classes hold the same portfolio

Share classExpense ratio1 year3 years5 yearsWorst fall
0.17%+33.22%+58.09%+36.76%-16.35%

0.02%+33.41%+58.76%+37.72%-16.30%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.96pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.19pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
