Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 

This ETF invests in the S&P Small-Cap 600 Index, comprising 600 smaller U.S. companies. Its primary goal is to closely track the returns of this index, which serves as a key indicator for the broader U.S. small-capitalization stock market. While offering substantial potential for capital appreciation, its share value typically experiences more significant fluctuations compared to bond-holding funds. Therefore, it is best suited for investors with long-term financial objectives focused on substantial growth. A 2-for-1 stock split was executed on March 14, 2023, which reduced the per-share price while proportionally increasing the number of outstanding shares. Historical share price data has typically not been retroactively adjusted for this event, except where indicated for market data. It's important to note that despite certain displayed data possibly reflecting both pre- and post-split prices, the fund's overall investment returns were unaffected by this corporate action.
