A derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on the value of a financial asset (such as a share, bond, or currency) or a market index. • The base currency of the Fund is USD. • The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses. • The Fund may invest in securities which are denominated in currencies other than the share class currency. Movements in currency exchange rates can affect the return of investments. • The Fund is appropriate for short-term investment. • Income from the ETF Shares will be reinvested and reflected in the price of shares in the ETF. • Portfolio transaction costs will have an impact on performance. • ETF Shares in the Fund can be bought or sold on a daily basis (save on certain bank / public holidays and subject to certain restrictions described in Appendix 1 of the Prospectus or in a separate Supplement). ETF Shares are listed on one or more stock exchange(s). Subject to certain exceptions set out in the Prospectus, investors who are not Authorised Participants may only buy or sell ETF Shares through a company that is a member of a relevant stock exchange at any time when that stock exchange is open for business. A list of the days on which shares in the Fund cannot be bought or sold is available on https://fund-docs.vanguard.com/holiday- calendar-vanguard-funds-plc-ETFs.pdf For further information about the objectives and investment policy of the Fund, as well as the limited relationship with the Index provider, please see the supplement for the Fund ("Supplement") and Appendix 6 of the Vanguard Funds plc prospectus (the "Prospectus") on our website at https://global.vanguard.com # Risk and reward profile > Lower risk Higher risk > Typically lower rewards Typically higher rewards # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 • This indicator is based on historical data and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. • The risk category shown is not guaranteed and may change over time. • The lowest category does not mean “risk free”. • The Fund is rated 2 due to the nature of its investments which include the risks listed below. These factors may impact the value of the Fund's investments or expose the Fund to losses. - The value of bonds and fixed income-related securities is affected by influential factors such as interest rates, inflation, credit spreads and volatility which, in turn, are driven by other factors including political, economic news, company earnings and significant corporate events. - Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political or regulatory events. - Use of derivatives. The use of derivatives could increase or reduce exposure to underlying assets and result in greater fluctuations of the Fund's net asset value. The risk and reward indicator does not take account of the following risks of investing in the Fund: • Counterparty risk. The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as safekeeping of assets or acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, may expose the Fund to financial loss. • Liquidity risk. Lower liquidity means there are insufficient buyers or sellers to allow the Fund to sell or buy investments readily. This could cause the Fund to incur higher costs when buying or selling investments or could mean that the Fund is not able to buy or sell investments when it would like to do so. • Index tracking risk. The Fund is not expected to track the performance of the Index at all times with perfect accuracy. The Fund is, however, expected to provide investment results that, before expenses, generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the Index. • Index sampling risk. The Fund uses an index sampling technique whereby a representative sample of securities are selected to represent the Index. This means there is the risk that the securities selected for the Funds may not, in the aggregate, approximate the full index. • Credit risk. The issuer of a financial asset held within the Fund may not pay income or repay capital to the Fund when due. • Inflation risk. The value of your investments may not be worth as much in the future due to changes in purchasing power resulting from inflation. • Currency risk. Movements in currency exchange rates can adversely affect the return of your investment.
