Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard Strategic Small-Cap Equity Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The fund employs active management to select small-cap U.S. stocks, targeting companies within the market-capitalization range of the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in small-cap equity securities. Because the fund's performance depends on the manager's security selection decisions, returns may diverge from those of its benchmark index.

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
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
