Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of consumer staples stocks.
The fund employs an indexing approach to track the MSCI US Investable Market Index (IMI)/Consumer Staples 25/50, which comprises large, mid-size, and small U.S. consumer staples stocks. It invests substantially all assets in the stocks making up the Target Index, holding each in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. The fund is nondiversified, meaning it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in particular issuers than diversified funds do.
