Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Vanguard Communication Services Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of communication services stocks.
The fund tracks the MSCI US Investable Market Index (IMI)/Communication Services 25/50 by holding all or substantially all of its constituent stocks in the same proportions as the index, which covers large, mid-size, and small U.S. communication services companies including telecommunications, media, entertainment, and interactive gaming. As a nondiversified fund, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in particular issuers than a diversified fund would.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| +35.29% | +105.58% | +49.38% | 15.97% | -11.47% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.00pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.00pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
