Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that are characterized by high dividend yield.
The fund tracks the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index through full replication, holding all or substantially all of the index constituents in their target weightings to capture returns from high-dividend-paying stocks while excluding real estate investment trusts.

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

| +29.52% | +60.12% | +75.50% | 9.69% | -8.26% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.12pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.02pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
