Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard International High Dividend Yield Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of non-U.S. companies that are characterized by high dividend yield.
The fund tracks the FTSE All-World ex US High Dividend Yield Index using a sampling approach, holding a range of non-U.S. stocks in developed and emerging markets that are forecasted to have above-average dividend yields and excludes REITs. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index.
