Summary

| by Lan Anh Tran

Vanguard 500 Index offers diversified, low-turnover exposure to U.S. large-cap stocks at an attractive price. It tracks the market-cap-weighted S&P 500, which has historically been tough for active managers in the large-blend Morningstar Category to beat. Its miniscule expense ratio gives this fund a durable performance edge over its category peers. All of its share classes earn a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold except the Investor share class, which is rated Silver rating for its relatively higher fee.
