How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Nine of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors recorded positive returns for the 12 months. Technology contributed the most to the benchmark’s return, followed by health care and financials. Utilities and consumer discretionary, the two sectors that posted negative returns, detracted slightly.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Nine of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors recorded positive returns for the 12 months. Technology contributed the most to the benchmark’s return, followed by health care and financials. Utilities and consumer discretionary, the two sectors that posted negative returns, detracted slightly.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Alphabet (+59%), Warner Bros. Discovery (+145%), and Verizon Communications (+21%) contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. They accounted for about 30% of the index at the end of the reporting period and added about 16 percentage points to its result.

  • Meta Platforms (–22%), Roblox (–67%), and Netflix (–33%) detracted the most.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund underperformed its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • The Fund lagged its benchmark across all industry sectors. Stock selection in communication services, information technology, and industrials detracted the most from relative performance.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Amazon.com (+13%), Tesla (+10%), and General Motors (+49%) contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. They accounted for about 39% of the index at the end of the reporting period and added about 5 percentage points to its result.

  • Home Depot (–17%), Nike (–48%), and Flutter Entertainment (–67%) detracted the most.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Coca-Cola (+32%), Walmart (+9%), and Target (+74%) contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. They accounted for about 24% of the index at the end of the reporting period and added about 5 percentage points to its result.

  • Procter & Gamble (–5%), Celsius Holdings (–50%), and BellRing Brands (–74%) detracted the most.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • JPMorgan Chase (+20%), Goldman Sachs Group (+40%), and Bank of America (+25%) contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. They accounted for about 18% of the index at the end of the reporting period and added about 4 percentage points to its result.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Eli Lilly (+59%), Johnson & Johnson (+53%), and Merck & Co. (+82%) contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. They accounted for about 27% of the index at the end of the reporting period and added about 13 percentage points to its result.

  • Boston Scientific (–54%), Abbott Laboratories (–15%), and Zoetis (–50%) detracted the most.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • Caterpillar (+92%), GE Vernova (+47%), and RTX (+33%) contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. They accounted for about 13% of the index at the end of the reporting period and added about 6 percentage points to its result.

  • Uber Technologies (–19%), Axon Enterprise (–24%), and Boeing (–11%) detracted the most.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund underperformed its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • From a geographic perspective, the Fund lagged its benchmark across all regions. North America, the Pacific region, and Europe detracted the most.

  • The Fund lagged its benchmark in five of 11 industry sectors. Stock selection in consumer discretionary, financials, and communication services detracted the most from relative performance. Selection in health care and industrials, as well as an overweight allocation to information technology, contributed the most.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447. The graph and returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • For the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark.

  • Global equities posted strong returns, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy, persistent inflation, and Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices fueled volatility.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • The Fund’s benchmark outperformed its growth counterpart.

  • Of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors, 10 recorded positive returns for the 12 months. Technology, health care, and financials contributed the most to the benchmark’s return. Consumer discretionary was the only sector that posted a negative return.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

  • From its inception on April 14, 2026, through August 31, 2026, the ETF underperformed its benchmark, largely because of fair-value pricing.

  • Global equities posted strong returns for the 12 months ended August 31, 2026, while global bonds struggled. Resilient growth and corporate earnings supported stocks, though shifting U.S. trade policy and persistent inflation fueled volatility, as did Middle East tensions that disrupted energy supplies and raised oil prices.

  • Some central banks, including those in the United States and the United Kingdom, lowered rates. However, developed-market government bond yields generally rose amid concerns about borrowing, inflation, and monetary policy.

  • For the benchmark, seven of the 11 sectors posted positive returns. Strong performance from the two sectors with the heaviest weights—information technology and financials—contributed most to the benchmark's return.

  • By region, the Pacific, the second largest region by weight, contributed the most to the benchmark’s performance. Europe, the largest region, also contributed positively.

FTSE Social Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
13

FTSE Social Index Fund
6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
7. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $603,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.24% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Materials Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Materials Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 0% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at August 31, 2026.
3.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
9

Materials Index Fund
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
7. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $93,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
10

Materials Index Fund
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
At August 31, 2026, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 28% of the fund’s net assets. If this shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.

Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Materials Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Materials Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Communication Services Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Communication Services Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

Communication Services Index Fund
6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $128,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund purchased $1,697,513,000 of investment securities and sold $1,709,683,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. In addition, the fund purchased and sold investment securities of $2,611,434,000 and $2,744,947,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund's capital shares.

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Communication Services Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Communication Services Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

U.S. Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty's default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
4. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
7. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell
9

U.S. Growth Fund
or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
8. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
9. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities that are amortized to the earliest call date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
The investment advisory firms Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd., Jennison Associates LLC, and Wellington Management Company LLP. each provide
investment advisory services to a portion of the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor.
The basic fee of Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the S&P 500 Index for periods prior
to August 1, 2024, and to the new benchmark Russell 3000 Growth Index, beginning August 1, 2024, for the preceding three years. The basic fees of Jennison Associates LLC and Wellington Management Company LLP are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the preceding three years. The benchmark change will be fully phased in by August 2027.
Vanguard, through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC, manages the cash reserves of the fund as described below.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the aggregate investment advisory fee paid to all advisors represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.15% of the fund’s average net assets, before a net decrease of $12,023,000 (0.03%) based on performance.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
corporate management, administrative, marketing, distribution and cash management services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund’s board of trustees may adjust a fund’s fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $930,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.37% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
The fund has asked its investment advisors to direct certain security trades, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to brokers who have
agreed to rebate to the fund part of the commissions generated. Such rebates are used solely to reduce the fund’s management and administrative
expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2026, these arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $290,000 (an annual rate of less than 0.01% of average net assets).

Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies.

During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund purchased $26,456,636,000 of investment securities and sold $33,349,113,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other funds or accounts managed by its investment advisors or their affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended August 31, 2026, such purchases were $106,774,000 and sales were $33,116,000, resulting in net realized gain of $12,015,000; these amounts, other than temporary cash investments, are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

I.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
J.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
K.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Utilities Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Utilities Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may
8

Utilities Index Fund
be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $227,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.09% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies.

Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Utilities Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Utilities Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $141,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.06% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Consumer Staples Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

Consumer Staples Index Fund
6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities, but it did make one borrowing from Vanguard Total Bond Market Index II in the amount of $1,000,000 to test the operational readiness of the Interfund Lending Program process. The borrowing was outstanding for one business day at an annualized interest rate of 4.025%, and the related interest expense of less than $500 is recorded in the Statement of Operations. At August 31, 2026, the fund had no borrowings outstanding.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $200,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Energy Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Energy Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may
9

Energy Index Fund
be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $266,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.11% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund purchased $1,014,526,000 of investment securities and sold $854,897,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. In addition, the fund purchased and sold investment securities of $2,152,747,000 and $1,816,774,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund's capital shares.
The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended August 31, 2026, such purchases were $1,625,000 and sales were $8,751,000, resulting in net realized loss of $2,705,000; these amounts, other than temporary cash investments, are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Energy Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Financials Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Financials Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
14

Financials Index Fund
6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses), shareholder reporting, and proxy fees. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $319,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.13% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.

Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.

Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Financials Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Financials Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Health Care Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Health Care Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
13

Health Care Index Fund
6. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses), shareholder reporting, and proxy fees. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $449,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.18% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Health Care Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Health Care Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Industrials Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Industrials Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash
13

Industrials Index Fund
collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
7. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $188,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Industrials Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Industrials Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Information Technology Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. In February 2026, the board of trustees approved an 8-for-1 share split of the fund’s ETF share class, which occurred after the close of trading on April 20, 2026. Each ETF shareholder who owns shares as of the close of trading on that date received seven additional shares for every share held. Effective April 21, 2026, the ETF shares began trading at the new split-adjusted price. The share split had no effect on fund net assets, but decreased the net asset value per share. Additionally, the share split had no effect on total return.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

Information Technology Index Fund
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
7. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $3,437,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.37% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
15

Information Technology Index Fund
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

International Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard International Growth Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. Risks associated with these types of forward currency contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on forward currency contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

International Growth Fund
5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
7. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
8. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
9. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Deferred foreign capital gains tax, if any, is accrued daily based upon applicable net unrealized gains. The fund has filed tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Amounts related to these reclaims are recorded when there are no significant uncertainties as to the ultimate resolution of proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment. Such tax reclaims and related professional fees, if any, are included in dividend income and other expenses, respectively.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
The investment advisory firms Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the fund. The basic fee for each advisor is calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fees of Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA for the preceding three years.
Vanguard, through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC, manages the cash reserves of the fund as described below.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the aggregate investment advisory fee paid to all advisors represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.14% of the fund’s average net assets, before a net decrease of $19,017,000 (0.04%) based on performance.

C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
corporate management, administrative, marketing, distribution and cash management services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund’s board of trustees may adjust a fund’s fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $933,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.37% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

J.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
K.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
L.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard International Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard International Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, portfolio companies, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Morningstar Mega Cap Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
In June 2026, the board of trustees approved changing the Fund’s name to Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Index Fund, effective in July 2026, to correspond with the renaming of the Fund's benchmark.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
7. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $226,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.09% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

E.
Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
13

Morningstar Mega Cap Index Fund
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
In June 2026, the board of trustees approved changing the Fund’s name to Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund, effective in July 2026, to correspond with the renaming of the Fund's benchmark.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
3.  Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected reference stocks or indexes in the fund’s target index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays or receives a floating rate that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount approximately equal to the notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments, as well as holds cash and other short-term receivables.
A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until periodic payments are made or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
During the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average amounts of investments in total return swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
7. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility, which are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $288,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.12% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
 
Permanent differences were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

H.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
At August 31, 2026, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 32% of the fund’s net assets. If this shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.
I.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
12

Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying financial statements.
J.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard World Fund and Shareholders of Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Value Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard World Fund, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Developed Markets ex-US Growth Index ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Developed Markets ex-US Growth Index ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 0% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at August 31, 2026.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. Risks associated with these types of forward currency contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on forward currency contracts.
During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open forward currency contracts at August 31, 2026.
16

Developed Markets ex-US Growth Index ETF
5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
7. Credit Facility and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard, which may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. Any borrowings under the facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facility or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Capital Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily assume certain expenses to maintain a total annual expense ratio of 0.08%. For the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s expenses were reduced by $65,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.30% of the fund’s average net assets).
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial
statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in
those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of August 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

I.
Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
J.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
K.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

A.
The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund
consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at August 31, 2026.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. Risks associated with these types of forward currency contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on forward currency contracts.
During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute virtually all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the tax year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
7. Credit Facility and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard, which may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. Any borrowings under the facility bear interest at the higher of the effective federal funds rate, the overnight bank funding rate, or the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not utilize the credit facility or the Interfund Lending Program.
8. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B.
Vanguard provides investment advisory services to the fund through its wholly owned subsidiary Vanguard Capital Management, LLC.
C.
In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund
investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the
FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally
settled twice a month.
From time to time, Vanguard and/or a fund's board of trustees may adjust a fund's fees and expenses and/or reduce, refund, reimburse, waive, or otherwise return to the fund and its shareholders a portion of prior fees and expenses (collectively, “expense adjustments”). The fund is not obligated to repay these amounts, and Vanguard is not obligated to continue or otherwise repeat these voluntary expense adjustments. Expense adjustments are generally calculated at, and returned to, each share class, as applicable.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2026, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and less than 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily assume certain expenses to maintain a total annual expense ratio of 0.08%. For the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund’s expenses were reduced by $66,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.34% of the fund’s average net assets).
D.
Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for
financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial
statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Examples of permanent
differences include, but are not limited to, the accounting for passive foreign investment companies, in-kind redemptions, swap agreements, and
distributions in connection with fund share redemptions.
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Examples of temporary differences include, but are not limited to, capital loss carryforwards, the deferral of losses from wash sales, the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative contracts, and the recognition of unrealized gains from passive foreign investment companies. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Significant market disruptions, such as those caused by pandemics, natural or environmental disasters, war, acts of terrorism, political or regulatory
conditions, or other events, can adversely affect local and global markets and normal market operations. Any such disruptions could have an adverse
impact on the value of the fund’s investments and fund performance.
To the extent the fund’s investment portfolio reflects concentration in a particular market, industry, sector, country or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of these concentrations and may be subject to increased price volatility and other risks.
The use of derivatives may expose the fund to various risks. Derivatives can be highly volatile, and any initial investment is generally small relative to the notional amount so that transactions may be leveraged in terms of market exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard securities. Leveraged derivatives positions can, therefore, increase volatility. Additional information regarding the fund’s use of derivative(s) and the specific risks associated is described under significant accounting policies.
J.
Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their
operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The fund is considered a single segment. Vanguard’s chief
executive officer, chief investment officer, and chief financial officer, who are also officers of the fund, as well as the fund’s chief financial officer
collectively act as the CODM. Vanguard has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund’s
daily operations. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund’s operations to achieve a single investment objective, as detailed in its
prospectus, through the execution of the fund’s investment strategies. When assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment
resources, the CODM relies on the fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets which are consistent with the
information contained in the fund’s financial statements. Segment assets, liabilities, income, and expenses are also detailed in the accompanying
financial statements.
K.
Management has determined that no subsequent events or transactions occurred through the date the financial statements were issued that would
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement - FTSE Social Index Fund

 

A majority of independent trustees of the board of Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund (Trustees) have renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), which provides investment advisory services to the fund through its subsidiary, Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC (VPM). The trustees determined that continuing the advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

 

The Trustees based their decisions upon an evaluation of VPM’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided by Vanguard’s Oversight and Manager Search team, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management.

 

 

 

 

The Oversight and Manager Search team met regularly with the advisor and made presentations to the Trustees during the fiscal year that directed the Trustees’ focus to relevant information and topics.

 

The board, or an investment committee made up of Trustees, also received information throughout the year during advisor presentations conducted by the Oversight and Manager Search team. For each advisor presentation, the Trustees were provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.

 

In addition, the Trustees received periodic reports throughout the year, which included information about the fund’s performance relative to its peers and benchmark, as applicable, and updates, as needed, on the Oversight and Manager Search team’s ongoing assessment of the advisor.

 

Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they received over the course of the year. The Trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether to approve the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the Trustee’s decisions.

 

Nature, extent, and quality of services

 

The Trustees considered the quality of the fund’s investment management services over both the short and long term and took into account the organizational depth and stability of Vanguard and VPM. The Trustees considered that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than four decades. The Strategic Equity Index Management team (SE), now within VPM, adheres to the same sound, disciplined investment management process and has considerable experience, stability and depth. In its management of other Vanguard passive and active equity funds and portfolios, the team has a track record of consistent performance as a result of its disciplined investment processes. SE has specific expertise and experience managing U.S. style-box, sector, and smart-beta index strategies, effectively navigating index reconstitutions and mitigating transactions costs to deliver tight tracking error while opportunistically seeking to add excess returns through sophisticated trading strategies and superior access to corporate actions.

 

The Trustees concluded that VPM’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.

 

Investment performance

 

The Trustees considered the fund’s short- and long-term performance, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance compared with a relevant benchmark index and peer group. The Trustees concluded the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue.

 

 

 

 

Cost

 

The Trustees concluded that the fund’s expense ratio was below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the fund’s advisory expenses were also below the peer-group average.

 

The Trustees do not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard in providing investment advisory services through VPM because of Vanguard’s unique structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees.

 

The benefit of economies of scale

 

The Trustees concluded that the fund’s arrangement with Vanguard, and services rendered through VPM, ensure that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

 

The Trustees will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again within a one-year period.

 

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements - Morningstar Mega Cap Index Funds

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements - U.S. Stock Index Funds

The Trustees concluded that each fund’s arrangement with Vanguard, and services rendered through VPM, ensure that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

 

The Trustees will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements again within a one-year period.
