Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

Vanguard Mega Cap ETF, an exchange-traded share class of Vanguard Mega Cap Index Fund (the Fund), seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks in the United States.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the CRSP US Mega Cap Index, which measures the top 70% of investable U.S. equity market capitalization, by holding all or substantially all of the index's stocks in the same weights. Because the fund replicates the index rather than sampling it, its returns will closely track the index's performance. The fund may become concentrated in particular issuers or industries if the index itself becomes concentrated due to market movements or index rebalancing.

Return profile

Chart:

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

Share class1-year3-year5-yearVolWorst fall
+32.25%+86.84%+89.87%14.34%-7.84%
+32.24%+86.80%+89.75%14.34%-7.84%

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.

Cumulative return· Jun 2023 – 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.
