• | The 12 months ended September 30, 2022, were a challenging period for financial markets. Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund returned –17.19% for Admiral Shares and –17.25% for Investor Shares for the period. Its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, returned –15.47%. |
• | Early on, pent-up demand helped spur global growth and push down unemployment rates. The economic backdrop deteriorated, however, as inflation soared to multidecade highs, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened to other categories of goods and services, adding to concerns that inflation would remain stubbornly high. That prompted aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve to bring inflation back in check and increased fears of a recession. |
• | Small-, mid-, and large-capitalization stocks all posted negative returns for the 12-month period. Large-capitalization stocks held up better than mid- and small-caps, while value stocks outperformed growth. |
• | The fund’s holdings in health care contributed most to relative performance, while stock selection in information technology and industrials detracted most. |

• | 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. |

• | The 12 months ended September 30, 2022, were a challenging period for financial markets. Early on, pent-up demand helped spur global growth and push unemployment rates down. The economic backdrop deteriorated, however, as inflation soared, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened to other categories of goods and services, prompting aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve and increased fears of a recession. |
• | Returns for the six Vanguard Target Retirement Funds covered in this report ranged from –19.42% for the 2040 Fund to –14.19% for the Income Fund. (The funds with target dates of 2045 through 2070 are covered in a separate report). |
• | Vanguard Target Retirement Funds are designed to reach an allocation of 70% bonds and 30% stocks within seven years after their target dates. The funds invest all of their assets in Vanguard index funds that seek to match the performance of broad stock and bond market indexes. |
• | For the 10 years ended September 30, the funds’ average annual returns ranged from 3.31% for the Income Fund to 7.40% for the 2040 Fund. |

• | 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. |

• | The 12 months ended September 30, 2022, were a challenging period for financial markets. Early on, pent-up demand helped spur global growth and push unemployment rates down. The economic backdrop deteriorated, however, as inflation soared, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened to other categories of goods and services, prompting aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve and increased fears of a recession. |
• | Returns for the six Vanguard Target Retirement Funds covered in this report ranged from –20.18% for the 2050 Fund to –7.50% for the 2070 Fund’s first three months of operation. (The funds with target dates of 2020 through 2040, as well as the Income Fund, are covered in a separate report.) |
• | Vanguard Target Retirement Funds are designed to reach an allocation of 70% bonds and 30% stocks within seven years after their target dates. The funds invest all of their assets in Vanguard index funds that seek to match the performance of broad stock and bond market indexes. |
• | For the 10 years ended September 30—or since inception for the 2065 Fund—the funds’ average annual returns ranged from 4.95% for the 2065 Fund to 7.58% for the 2060 Fund. |

• | 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. |
