(VIGI) Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF
About this fund
Fund objectives
Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of non-U.S. companies that have a history of increasing dividends.
Why this fund
- Seeks to track the performance of the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index.
- Employs a passively managed, full-replication strategy.
- The fund remains fully invested.
- Large-cap equity, emphasizing stocks from developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States, with a record of growing dividends year over year.
- Low expenses minimize net tracking error.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund may not: (1) purchase more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or (2) purchase securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in that issuer’s securities; except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its target index. This limitation does not apply to obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
Fund facts
The value of investments, and the income from them, may fall or rise and investors may get back less than they invested.
