Tracking Error
Each of the Funds listed in the table employs a “passive” investment strategy designed to replicate the performance of its benchmark index. Some of the Funds
attempt to fully replicate the index by holding all of the component securities, in approximately the same proportion as their weighting in the index. Other Funds
instead use an index sampling process, holding a representative sample of securities which approximates the full index in terms of key risk factors and other
characteristics.
Tracking error measures the volatility of the return difference between the Fund and the index. It is calculated as the standard deviation of the tracking difference
between the Fund and the index (gross of fees for the trailing 36-month period, or since the Fund’s inception if it does not have 36 months of performance history).
Realised tracking error may vary from the anticipated tracking error, depending on a range of circumstances. These include transaction costs, securities lending
income and withholding tax differences. The anticipated tracking error and realised tracking error are not expected to vary significantly under normal circumstances.
The table below excludes adjustments for swing pricing.

Additional Information From the Directors (unaudited)
Political and economic uncertainty may lead to speculation and subsequent market volatility, particularly for assets denominated in
British pounds. Vanguard continues to encourage investors to follow its core investing principles, including maintaining long-term
discipline.
The implications of Brexit extend beyond the UK economy and financial markets, affecting multinational organisations globally.
The relevant regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom may in the future make changes to their rules which deviate from the
standards applicable in the European Union. This could result in changes being made to the rules applicable in the European Union.
The nature and extent of the impact of these factors on the Funds are uncertain, but may be adverse. Vanguard remains
committed to safeguarding our investors' assets and their long-term interests and has devoted significant resources to developing
plans to manage the impact of Brexit.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have had a global impact, and uncertainty exists as to the long-term
implications. Such disruptions can adversely affect assets of the Funds and thus performance of the Funds. Vanguard continues to
encourage investors to follow its core investment principles, including maintaining long-term discipline. Vanguard is committed to
safeguarding the assets of investors and their long-term interests.
Remuneration Disclosure
Vanguard personnel providing services to the Manager are subject to the Vanguard European Remuneration Policy (the
“Remuneration Policy”). The Remuneration Policy includes the remuneration requirements of the UCITS V Directive (2014/91/EU).
Details of the Remuneration Policy are available through https://www.ie.vanguard/content/dam/intl/europe/documents/ch/en/ucits-
v-remuneration-policy.pdf, which will be updated periodically to reflect changes to the policy.
The governance of remuneration within Vanguard Europe is undertaken through a tiered structure, including Vanguard’s Global
Remuneration Committee and the European Leadership Team. The Global Remuneration Committee also operates at The Vanguard
Group level and oversees the overall compensation programmes of The Vanguard Group. The European Leadership Team is
responsible for implementing the remuneration programmes in accordance with Vanguard’s total rewards philosophy and global
organisation, including overseeing the Remuneration Policy.
The Remuneration Policy provides for an appropriate balance of fixed salary; benefits, such as pension; and annual bonus and
long-term incentive arrangements. Incentives are based on the overall business performance of The Vanguard Group, or individual,
team, business unit and fund performance. The incentive plans are reviewed and approved by the European Leadership Team
(and other applicable groups) in order to ensure that plans appropriately assess financial and non-financial performance and do not
encourage conflicts of interest, and to ensure that risk or compliance issues are appropriately reflected.
The European Leadership Team also reviews and approves the list of UCITS code staff annually. Identified code staff are notified
and understand the code staff responsibilities.

Remuneration reflects fixed pay (salary) and performance-related pay (annual and long-term incentives). Individual incentive
outcomes under the plans are based on performance assessed by reference to an appropriate balance of quantitative and
qualitative measures, such as behaviour, including compliance with all applicable policies. The individual incentive outcome is fully
discretionary and, if appropriate, outcomes based on financial performance can be overridden based on the qualitative measures.

Change in Auditors
KPMG, Chartered Accountants, were first appointed statutory auditor on 1 November 2021. The appointment of KPMG as auditor
was driven by the EU audit reform requirements as set out in S.I. No. 312 of 2016 European Union (Statutory Audits) Regulations
2016. These Regulations required the Company (as a listed entity trading on regulated markets in the EU) to replace its auditor for

Vanguard LifeStrategy 20% Equity UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard LifeStrategy 20% Equity UCITS ETF seeks to provide a combination of income and some long-term capital appreciation by investing in fixed income and
equity securities, primarily through investment in other collective investment schemes.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Global fixed income markets also
posted negative returns, as monetary policy turned less accommodative and yields moved higher.
• In this environment, both share classes of the ETF returned –10.81% for the fiscal year, reflecting their allocations to global stocks and bonds.
Returns in the commentary above are in euros.

must be shown if there are fewer than 20. A full listing of the portfolio changes for the year is available, upon request, at no extra cost from the Administrator.

• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Global fixed income markets also
posted negative returns, as monetary policy turned less accommodative and yields moved higher.
• In this environment, both share classes of the ETF returned –9.03% for the fiscal year, reflecting their allocations to global stocks and bonds.

Vanguard ESG Global All Cap UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard ESG Global All Cap UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Global All Cap Choice Index, a market capitalisation-weighted index composed of
large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks of companies located in markets around the world.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory.
• In this challenging environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –18.73% for the fiscal year. The benchmark, the FTSE Global All Cap Choice Index, is
constructed from the FTSE Global All Cap Index. The parent index is screened for certain environmental, social and corporate governance criteria by the sponsor
of the index, which is independent of Vanguard.
• Of the roughly 50 markets in the index, 41 posted negative returns. The US did not have the worst return among markets, but at more than 60% of the index’s
weighting, it was the biggest detractor from performance. China and Japan were also big detractors.
• Among sectors, only utilities had a positive return. Technology, consumer discretionary, industrials and financials detracted most from performance.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in US dollars.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard FTSE 100 UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE 100 UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE 100 Index, a widely recognised benchmark of the UK market’s most highly capitalised
blue-chip companies.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets in general went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory.
• However, the ETF’s benchmark index, which represents the UK market’s largest companies, was a notable exception, returning a positive 5.72% for the fiscal
year.
• The mega-size energy and health care companies (and to a lesser degree, utilities) in the index posted robust double-digit gains, more than offsetting the steep
declines in consumer discretionary, utilities, and other sectors. Energy stocks alone returned almost 43% on average.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in British pounds.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard FTSE 250 UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE 250 UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE 250 Index, a widely recognised benchmark of mid-capitalised companies of the United
Kingdom.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory.
• In this challenging environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –14.65% for the fiscal year.
• Eight of the 11 sectors in the index posted negative returns. Consumer discretionary, financials (which constituted more than one-third of the index weighting on
average) and industrials detracted most from performance. While utilities and telecommunications posted robust double-digit gains, their weighting in the index
wasn’t enough to offset the declines elsewhere.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in British pounds.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by tracking the performance of the FTSE All-World Index, a market capitalisation-
weighted index of common stocks of large- and mid-capitalisation companies in developed and emerging markets.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –15.63% for the fiscal year.
• Almost all the countries represented in the index lost ground during the period. The United States, which accounted for more than half the index’s holdings, and
Japan, the next largest market, hurt performance the most.
• Nine of the index’s 11 sectors posted negative returns. Technology and consumer discretionary hurt performance the most. Energy and utilities made modest
contributions to the index’s return, although neither held a prominent weighting within the portfolio.

Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield Index, a free-float-adjusted market
capitalisation-weighted index of common stocks of companies, excluding real estate trusts, in developed and emerging markets that pay dividends that are generally
higher than average.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19

term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period down roughly 16%, as measured by the FTSE Global All
Cap Index. By region, the United States held up a little better than stocks in Europe, Asia-Pacific and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –6.80% for the fiscal year.
• The United States, which represented about 40% of the index by weight, contributed modestly to its performance. Japan and Germany detracted the most.
• Eight of the index’s 11 sectors posted negative returns. Financials, which represented about a quarter of the index by weight, hurt performance the most,
followed by technology and industrials. Energy, which returned about 20%, made the strongest contribution to the index’s return. Health care and utilities also
helped.

Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE Developed Asia Pacific ex Japan UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed Asia Pacific ex Japan Index, a widely recognised
benchmark of the large- and mid-capitalised companies of the developed markets of the Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –21.88% for the fiscal year.
• South Korea, Australia and Hong Kong, which together make up the bulk of the index, all had double-digit negative returns. All sectors except energy posted
negative results. Technology hurt performance the most, followed by consumer discretionary and financials.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe Index, a widely recognised benchmark of stock market
performance of European developed countries that is composed of the stocks of large- and mid-capitalised companies in developed Europe.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –7.38% for the fiscal year.
• Three-quarters of the markets in the index posted negative returns. Germany, France, Sweden and the Netherlands detracted most from performance. The UK,
which constituted almost a quarter of the index’s weighting, posted a gain of nearly 5% and was one of only a few markets to contribute positively to its return.
• Among sectors, only energy and health care contributed positively to performance. Industrials, consumer discretionary and technology were the biggest
detractors.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in euros.

Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe ex UK UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE Developed Europe ex UK UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe ex UK Index, a widely recognised market
capitalisation-weighted index of stock market performance of European developed countries, excluding the United Kingdom, that is composed of the stocks of large-
and mid-capitalisation companies in that region.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory.
• In this challenging environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –11.17% for the fiscal year.
• Portugal and Norway were the only markets to make positive contributions to the index’s return. The biggest detractors from performance were Germany, France,
Sweden and the Netherlands.
• Among sectors, only energy and health care posted positive returns. The largest detractors from performance were industrials, consumer discretionary and
technology, which all posted double-digit declines.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE Developed World UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed Index, a widely recognised benchmark of large- and mid-

• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19

inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –14.88% for the fiscal year.
• Most of the markets in the index had negative returns. The United States, which constituted almost two-thirds of the index, was by far the biggest detractor from
performance. Japan, the second-largest market by weighting, also detracted.
• Nine of the index’s 11 industry sectors posted negative returns. Technology detracted most from performance, followed by consumer discretionary, industrials
and financials. Energy and utility stocks contributed modest gains.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in US dollars.

Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Emerging Index, a free-float market capitalisation-weighted index of large-
and mid-capitalisation companies in multiple emerging markets in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America and the Middle East.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –21.56% for the fiscal year.
• Chinese stocks, which made up more than a third of the index on average, returned –31%, dragging the index’s overall return down with them. A small number of
markets, including Indonesia and Kuwait, contributed modestly to performance.
• Ten of the index’s 11 industry sectors posted negative returns. Technology and consumer discretionary hurt performance the most. Utilities, the only sector with a
positive return, contributed modestly to performance.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in US dollars.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard FTSE Japan UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE Japan UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Japan Index, a widely recognised benchmark of large- and mid-capitalised companies in
Japan.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –19.83% for the fiscal year.
• Ten of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors posted negative results. Energy, which has a very small weighting in the index, contributed modestly to its return.
Industrials, consumer discretionary and technology were the biggest detractors.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard FTSE North America UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard FTSE North America UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE North America Index, a market capitalisation-weighted index of large- and mid-
cap companies in the United States and Canada.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –12.82% for the fiscal year.
• The index essentially holds stocks from the United States, which had a weighting of about 95% on average, and Canada, both of which had negative returns.
• Only four of the benchmark’s 11 industry sectors posted positive results: energy, consumer staples, utilities and health care. These sectors contributed most to
the index’s return. Technology, which has by far the largest weighting in the index, was the biggest detractor, followed by consumer discretionary and industrials.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard Germany All Cap UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard Germany All Cap UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Germany All Cap Index, a free-float-adjusted market capitalisation-weighted index
composed of large-, mid- and small-cap stocks of companies located in Germany, and is derived from the broader FTSE Global Equity Index Series.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory.
• In this challenging environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –22.09% for the fiscal year.
• With the exception of telecommunications, all sectors in the index posted negative returns. The three largest sectors by weighting in the index – consumer
discretionary, industrials and technology – had double-digit declines and were the biggest detractors from performance.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, a widely recognised benchmark of US stock market performance
that is composed of the stocks of large US companies.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global stock markets went through an especially challenging second half to finish the 12-month period in negative territory. Stocks in the United States held up a
little better than those in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and emerging markets.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark index returned –11.01% for the fiscal year.
• Only four of the index’s 11 industry sectors posted positive results: energy, health care, utilities and consumer staples. Those sectors contributed most to
the index’s performance. Information technology, by far the largest sector in the index, detracted most from its return, followed by consumer discretionary,
communication services and financials.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,

1 The return of the S&P 500 UCITS ETF is adjusted by 15% for the withholding tax on dividends paid by US securities. The return of the S&P 500 Index is adjusted by 30%.

Vanguard ESG Global Corporate Bond UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard ESG Global Corporate Bond UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI Global Corporate Float-Adjusted Liquid Bond Screened
Index, a multi-currency universe index of investment-grade corporate fixed-rate bonds from both developed and emerging markets.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global fixed income markets had an especially challenging second half as monetary policy turned less accommodative. With yields in major economies moving
higher, global bonds ended the period in negative territory.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –12.43% for the fiscal year. The benchmark, the Bloomberg MSCI Global Corporate Float-Adjusted Liquid Bond
Screened Index, is constructed from the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Float Adjusted Corporate Index. The parent index is screened for certain environmental,
social and corporate governance criteria by the sponsor, which is independent of Vanguard.
• The United States, the largest constituent in the index by far, underperformed on a relative basis, as did Sweden. Canada, Japan and Australia were among the
countries that fared better than the index but still finished in negative territory.
• By sector, bonds issued by industrial companies and utilities declined more than those of financial institutions.
• By maturity, longer-dated bonds weighed the most on performance. From a credit-quality perspective, results were mixed.
Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in US dollars.

Vanguard EUR Corporate Bond UCITS ETF
Managed by Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC.
Investment Objective
Vanguard EUR Corporate Bond UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Euro-Aggregate: Corporates Index, a widely recognised benchmark
designed to reflect the total universe of publicly traded, fixed-coupon, euro-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities greater than 1 year and
a minimum issue size of €300 million.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global fixed income markets had an especially challenging second half as monetary policy turned less accommodative. With yields in major economies moving
higher, global bonds ended the period in negative territory.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –12.39% for the fiscal year.
• Some of the largest constituents in the index, Belgium, Sweden and the United States, lagged. Denmark, Spain and the United Kingdom were among those that
fared better, but they still finished the period in negative territory.
• By sector, bonds issued by utilities weighed more on results that those issued by industrial companies and financial institutions.
• By maturity, longer-dated bonds underperformed the most. From a credit-quality perspective, results were mixed.
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.

must be shown if there are fewer than 20. A full listing of the portfolio changes for the year is available, upon request, at no extra cost from the Administrator.

Investment Objective
Vanguard Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Float Adjusted and Scaled Index Hedged, a widely
recognised benchmark designed to reflect the characteristics of the global aggregate bond universe.
• The investment environment grew increasingly challenging over the 12 months ended 30 June 2022 as volatility surged and financial markets slumped.
• Initially, as businesses reopened, pent-up demand helped fuel global growth and bring unemployment rates down. Sentiment deteriorated, however, as COVID-19
variants pushed new case numbers higher and year-on-year consumer price increases began to look less transitory.
• Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine injected more uncertainty into the markets. Fast-rising energy and food prices, along with persistent supply chain bottlenecks,
put even more upward pressure on inflation, which hit multidecade highs across much of the world.
• Central banks in many developed countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, responded by tightening monetary policy and raising short-
term interest rates. The European Central Bank moved to end its asset purchases and indicated it would begin raising rates in July. Those actions, meant to curb
inflation, also had the effect of dampening the global growth outlook.
• Global fixed income markets had an especially challenging second half as monetary policy turned less accommodative. With yields in major economies moving
higher, global bonds ended the period in negative territory.
• In this environment, the ETF’s benchmark returned –10.34% for the fiscal year.
• By country, the United States, the largest constituent in the index by far, performed roughly in line with the index as a whole. Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands
and Canada were among the laggards. Japan, China and South Korea fared better than the index but still finished in negative territory.
• By sector, corporate and non-corporate bonds fared worse than government bonds and US mortgage-backed securities.
• By credit quality, bonds on the bottom rung of the investment-grade ladder detracted more than higher-rated bonds. By maturity, longer-dated bonds lagged.

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end,
which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares,
when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.
* The tracking difference between the fund return and the index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in
weightings, trading activity, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the fund and the index vendor.
