Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

Vanguard International Growth Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy · summarised

The fund employs multiple independent investment advisors who actively select stocks of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies outside the United States, focusing on those with above-average growth potential across developed and emerging markets. Because each advisor independently constructs its own portfolio, the fund's overall holdings and performance may diverge from any single advisor's approach.
