Investment Objectives

Vanguard FTSE Developed ex North America High Dividend Yield Index ETF seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad international equity index that measures the investment return of common stocks of companies that are characterized by high dividend yield, with a focus on companies located in developed markets, excluding Canada and the U.S.

Investment Strategy

In order to achieve its investment objective, Vanguard FTSE Developed ex North America High Dividend Yield Index ETF employs a "passive management" - or indexing - investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Developed ex North America High Dividend Yield Index. This Vanguard ETF invests all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the applicable Index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the Index.
