• | For the 12 months ended August 31, 2023, returns for the three Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Funds ranged from just over 2% for Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund to nearly 7% for Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund. Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund returned almost 5%. Each fund closely tracked its target index. |
• | Early in the period, inflation in many developed markets began to ease off multidecade highs but remained stubbornly high in some sectors—including services, which felt the effects of a tight labor market. While aggressive interest rate hikes by many major central banks including the Federal Reserve fanned fears of recession, the economy proved more resilient than expected. |
• | Large-capitalization stocks outperformed their mid- and small-cap counterparts, and growth stocks performed better than value. |
• | All three funds saw positive returns in five of the 11 industry sectors represented. Industrials led performance in all three funds; technology, energy, and consumer discretionary also performed well across the board. Financials and health care were the biggest detractors. |

• | Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. |
• | Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. |
