The Fund seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of the overall stock market.
The Fund employs a “passive management” investment approach designed to track the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International® (MSCI®) US Broad Market Index, which represents 99.5% or more of the total market capitalization of all the U.S. common stocks regularly traded on the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the NASDAQ over-the-counter market. The Fund typically holds 1,200–1,300 of the stocks in its target index (covering nearly 95% of the Index’s total market capitalization) and a representative sample of the remaining stocks. The Fund holds a broadly diversified collection of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key characteristics. These key characteristics include industry weightings and market capitalization, as well as certain financial measures, such as price/earnings ratio and dividend yield.
Knowing a fund's investment style can help you understand how it might fit in your portfolio. This information can also help you build a portfolio that's broadly diversified across markets and less susceptible to sharp swings in any one market area. Vanguard uses a 9-box grid called a "style box" to show how a domestic stock fund's holdings are distributed by primary investment style (growth, value, or blend) and market capitalization category (large-, mid-, and small-cap companies).
