The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate – United States Dollar Index 1-3 Year (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of bonds included in the Index in order to closely match the Index's capital and income return. The Index measures the performance of a broad spread of US dollar denominated bonds paying a fixed rate of interest which are issued by companies. Bonds in the Index have maturities of between one and three years and are generally investment grade. To a lesser extent, the Fund may invest in bonds outside the Index where the risk and return characteristics of such bonds closely resemble those of the constituents of the Index. The Fund invests in securities which are denominated in currencies other than the base currency. Movements in currency exchange rates can affect the return of investments. Currency hedging techniques are used to minimise the risks associated with movements in currency exchange rates, where the Fund invests in securities denominated in currencies other than the listing currency, but these risks cannot be eliminated entirely. As this document relates to a share class where such techniques are used, the performance (see "Performance") of this share class is shown against the currency hedged version of the Index. The Fund attempts to remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses. While the Fund is expected to track the Index as closely as possible, it typically will not match the performance of the targeted Index exactly, due to various factors such as expenses to be paid by the Fund and regulatory constraints. Details of these factors and the anticipated tracking error of the Fund are set out in the Prospectus. Information on the Fund's portfolio can be found at https://www.ie.vanguard/products. The Indicative Net Asset Value for the Fund is calculated throughout the trading day and is published on Bloomberg or Reuters. The Fund may use derivatives in order to reduce risk or cost and/or generate extra income or growth. A derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on the value of a financial asset (such as a share, bond, or currency) or a market index. ETF Shares in the Fund can be bought or sold on a daily basis (save on certain bank holidays or public holidays and subject to certain restrictions described in the Prospectus). ETF Shares are listed on one or more stock exchange(s). Subject to certain exceptions set out in the Prospectus, investors who are not Authorised Participants may only buy or sell ETF Shares through a company that is a member of a relevant stock exchange at any time when that stock exchange is open for business. A list of the days on which shares in the Fund cannot be bought or sold is available on: https://fund-docs.vanguard.com/holiday-calendar-vanguard-funds-plcETFs.pdf Income from the ETF Shares will be reinvested and reflected in the price of shares in the ETF.
