Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Vanguard International Growth Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The fund employs multiple independent investment advisors who actively select stocks of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies outside the United States, focusing on those with above-average growth potential across developed and emerging markets. Because each advisor independently constructs its own portfolio, the fund's overall holdings and performance may diverge from any single advisor's approach.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +17.68% | +39.21% | +2.24% | 15.85% | -18.04% | |
| +17.79% | +39.65% | +2.80% | 15.86% | -18.02% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.56pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.11pp 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.
