Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of stocks issued by companies located in emerging market countries.
The fund tracks the FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap China A Inclusion Index using a sampling approach, holding a range of securities that approximate the full index in terms of key risk factors and characteristics. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund may become concentrated in particular issuers or industries if the index itself becomes concentrated due to market conditions or issuer performance.
