Investment Objectives

Vanguard FTSE Canada Index ETF seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad Canadian equity index that measures the investment return of publicly traded securities in the Canadian market. Currently, this Vanguard ETF seeks to track the FTSE Canada Index (or any successor thereto). It invests primarily in the largest Canadian stocks.

Investment Strategy

In order to achieve its investment objective, each Vanguard ETF may hold the Constituent Securities of the applicable Index in approximately the same proportion as they are reflected in that Index or may hold a broadly diversified subset of Constituent Securities and/or other securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the applicable Index in terms of primary risk factors and other key index characteristics.
