Summary

|

The Vanguard Small-Cap strategy offers a well-diversified, low-turnover portfolio that is representative of the U.S. small-cap market. Despite having a well-constructed portfolio, small-cap stocks are less widely followed, more volatile, less frequently traded, and more prone to mispricing than large caps. All of the fund’s share classes earn Morningstar Analyst Ratings of Silver.
