Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of non-U.S. companies that have a history of increasing dividends.
The fund tracks the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index by holding all or substantially all of its constituent stocks in the same weights, focusing on developed and emerging market companies outside the United States that demonstrate a history of increasing dividends. Because the fund replicates the index rather than sampling it, its returns will closely track the index. The fund may become concentrated in particular issuers or industries if the underlying index does, particularly following rebalances or significant market movements.
