Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Vanguard 500 Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks.
The fund tracks the S&P 500 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, its returns should closely match the index's performance.

| Stocks | 99.75% |
| Cash & short-term | 0.35% |
| Derivatives | -0.00% |
The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +30.87% | +79.44% | +84.08% | 13.42% | -8.29% | |

| +31.03% | +80.13% | +85.27% | 13.42% | -8.25% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.20pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.24pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
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.
