Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Vanguard ESG International Stock ETF (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks of companies located in developed and emerging markets outside of the United States and is screened for certain environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria.
The fund tracks the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Choice Index using a sampling approach, holding a diversified collection of developed and emerging market stocks outside the United States that meet environmental, social, and governance criteria set by the index provider, including exclusions for fossil fuels, weapons, nuclear power, and companies failing labor, human rights, environmental, or diversity standards. Because the fund samples rather than fully replicates the index, its returns may diverge from the index it seeks to track.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
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.
