The Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Nasdaq International Dividend Achievers Select Index, which focuses on high-quality companies located in developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States, that have both the ability and the commitment to grow their dividends over time. The Fund attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the broadly diversified collection of securities that make up the Index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the Index.
