Investment Objectives

The Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad U.S. equity index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization U.S.stocks. Currently, this Vanguard ETF seeks to track the S&P 500 Index (or any successor thereto). It invests directly or indirectly primarily in stocks of U.S. companies.

Investment Strategy

In order to achieve its investment objective, Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF employs a "passive management" - or indexing - investment approach designed to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index. This Vanguard ETF invests primarily in a U.S.-domiciled Vanguard Fund that seeks to track the S&P 500 Index. In the alternative or in addition to investing in the Vanguard Fund, this Vanguard ETF may invest its assets directly in the stocks that make up the applicable Index.
