About VanguardVanguard Investments Australia Ltd is a wholly ownedsubsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is based in theUnited States and currently manages over A 1.6 trillion formore than 23 million individual and institutional accounts asat 30 June 2010.Over the past 35 years, The Vanguard Group, Inc. hasgrown to be one of the world’s largest and most respectedinvestment management companies. Vanguard now has aglobal presence with offices in the United States, Australia,Asia and Europe.Vanguard has established a reputation in Australia as an indexspecialist, managing over A 80 billion as at 30 June 2010.Offering a range of low-cost managed funds and exchangetraded funds (ETFs) covering major asset sectors, investorscan benefit from Vanguard’s high-quality, low-cost investmentsolutions. For further information, please refer to our websiteat www.vanguard.com.au.Vanguard tries to minimise the transaction costs associatedwith managing cash flows and making adjustments for indexor benchmark changes, while maintaining the objective ofclosely tracking the returns represented by the index orbenchmark. In some cases, Vanguard is required to tradesecurities to maintain a portfolio that closely tracks theindex or benchmark, in which case it seeks to minimise theassociated transaction costs, turnover and realised capitalgains within the portfolio.Currency hedgingFunds with currency hedging use forward foreign exchangecontracts to manage currency fluctuations that affect thevalue of the securities held by those Funds. The net resultis that returns (income and capital appreciation) of Fundswith currency hedging are relatively unaffected by currencyfluctuations – only the investment performance of the actualportfolio is captured.FuturesHow Vanguard investsVanguard’s investment approachVanguard employs an indexing investment approachwhereby a fund is designed to track a chosen index orbenchmark – an index fund. This is achieved by seekingto replicate the returns of the index or benchmark, eitherby holding all of the securities included in the index orbenchmark or a representative sample of these securities.An index measures the performance or change in value ofa particular group of securities, such as shares, bonds orother investments, over a period of time. Today, there areindices measuring investment results of all major marketsand asset classes.The value or return of an index fund typically goes up ordown in line with the market. Because indices change veryinfrequently, index funds by their nature are ‘buy and hold’investments, a strategy that generally results in relatively lowportfolio turnover.Unlike indices – which are theoretical measures – indexfunds will incur actual costs in assembling portfolios, forinstance, brokerage. While index funds seek to minimisethese costs, they usually result in the returns of index fundsbeing less than the returns of the relevant indices.6 Funds may use futures to gain market exposure withoutinvesting directly in securities. This allows Vanguard tomaintain Fund liquidity without being under-invested.Importantly, derivatives are not used to leverage theFunds’ portfolios.BorrowingsFunds will only borrow where Vanguard believes it is in thebest interests of investors to do so. Currently, Vanguard doesnot intend to borrow for the purposes of gearing.Environmental, social and ethical considerationsVanguard does not take into account labour standardsor environmental, social or ethical considerations whenselecting, retaining or realising investments for the Funds.Proxy voting and engagementVanguard votes proxies in companies where the Funds orunderlying Funds have a significant economic interest and it isreasonably practicable to do so. This covers the vast majority ofholdings by value. Vanguard believes the right to vote proxiesfor holdings are a significant asset. Vanguard exercises thevotes with the goal of maximising the value of the investments.Details of Vanguard’s proxy voting policy can be found at theVanguard website: www.vanguard.com.au.Vanguard is a shareholder in Regnan – Governance Researchand Engagement Pty Limited, which engages with ASX 200companies on environmental, social and governance issuesfrom a long-term shareholder value perspective.Connect with Vanguard vanguard.com.au 1300 655 102

Key benefitsCompetitive long-term performanceLow costVanguard’s investment approach provides investors withan efficient way to capture long-term market performance.Historically, the returns of index funds have beencompetitive with the returns of active funds over the longterm. However, past performance is not a reliable indicatorof future performance.Low management feesDiversificationIndex funds provide a diversified portfolio of shares orsecurities, which means they are less exposed to theperformance fluctuations of individual shares or securities.This moderates the volatility of a portfolio and ‘smoothsout’ investment returns over time. Index funds invest in awide selection of available securities in the relevant index,generally holding significantly more securities than mostactive funds with the same benchmark.Vanguard’s funds have low ongoing fees as we strive tominimise the costs of managing and operating funds.Low transaction costsIndex funds typically keep trading activity and thus brokeragecosts and other transaction costs to a minimum.Tax efficiencyVanguard’s buy and hold investment strategy means thatsecurities are held within a portfolio for longer. If certaininvestments are held for more than 12 months, any capitalgain on the sale of those investments may be reduced underthe capital gains tax discount rules – a tax efficient outcomefor eligible investors.While the majority of funds that Vanguard manages carrywith them the benefit of broad diversification, from time totime the number of securities in a given index may reducedue to factors such as index rebalancing. This may lead toa change in the diversification of the portfolio.Product Disclosure Statement 7

Risks of investingInvestors in the Funds face a number of investment risks.There is no guarantee that the value of your investmentprincipal will be maintained. It is important to keep in mindone of the main principles of investing: the higher thepotential reward, the higher the risk of losing money.The reverse is also generally true: the lower the risk,the lower the potential reward. When you consider aninvestment in one or more of the Funds, you should takeinto account your personal tolerance for fluctuating marketvalues. Since each Fund seeks to track a different marketindex, investment risk will vary from Fund to Fund.Market riskMarket risk is the possibility that the market has negativereturns over short or even extended periods. Cashinvestments have the lowest market risk. Bonds, propertysecurities and equities have progressively increasing levelsof market risk.In any asset class, the returns of individual securities are acombination of the broad market return and returns specificto each security.By diversifying their holdings across the market, indexfunds are generally well protected from the specific risk ofindividual securities.From time to time the number of securities in a given indexmay reduce due to factors such as index rebalancing and thismay lead to a change in the diversification of the portfolio.Investors should be aware that markets and currencies canbe volatile and affect the returns of an investment portfolio.Currency riskFluctuations in the value of the Australian dollar relativeto other currencies can affect the returns from overseasinvestments. A fall in the value of the Australian dollarrelative to other currencies increases the value of nonAustralian assets and therefore benefits the Australianinvestor holding non-Australian assets such as internationalshares. Conversely, a rise in the value of the Australian dollarrelative to other currencies decreases the value of nonAustralian assets.Vanguard manages this uncertainty for some Funds byusing currency hedging which involves using forwardforeign exchange contracts. The return (income and capitalappreciation) of a Fund with currency hedging is thusrelatively unaffected by currency fluctuations.8 Investors should be aware that hedging portfolios againstcurrency risks involves costs and implementation risks dueto the volatility of currency and securities markets.Where a Fund holding non-Australian assets offers bothhedged and unhedged versions, the unhedged version willoutperform the hedged version if the value of the Australiandollar falls relative to other currencies.There are side effects for the income distributions fromFunds with currency hedging. When the Australian dollar isappreciating, the gains from currency hedging may result insignificant additional income being distributed. Conversely,when the Australian dollar is depreciating, the losses fromcurrency hedging can totally offset other income in thoseFunds, resulting in no income distribution for the period.The following Funds do not hedge any of their exposure toforeign currencies: Vanguard Global Infrastructure Fund; Vanguard International Property Securities Index Fund; Vanguard International Shares Index Fund; Vanguard International Small Companies Index Fund; and Vanguard Emerging Markets Shares Index Fund.Accordingly, these Funds (and the Vanguard ConservativeIndex Fund, Vanguard Balanced Index Fund, VanguardGrowth Index Fund, and the Vanguard High GrowthIndex Fund that invest in them) are affected by currencyfluctuations. The value of these Funds will be reduced with arise in the value of the Australian dollar.The following Funds are hedged back into Australian dollarsreducing their exposure to currency risk for Australian dollarinvestors: Vanguard International Fixed Interest Index Fund(Hedged); Vanguard International Credit Securities Index Fund(Hedged); Vanguard Global Infrastructure Fund (Hedged); Vanguard International Property Securities Index Fund(Hedged); Vanguard International Shares Index Fund (Hedged) –AUD Class; and Vanguard International Small Companies Index Fund(Hedged).The Vanguard International Shares Index Fund (Hedged) –NZD Class is hedged back into New Zealand dollars reducingits exposure to currency risk for New Zealand dollar investors.Connect with Vanguard vanguard.com.au 1300 655 102

Credit risk / Counterparty riskManager riskCredit risk / counterparty risk is the risk that a Fund’s tradingcounterparties become insolvent or cannot otherwise meettheir obligations to the Fund.This is the risk that the Funds may fail to meet theirobjectives due to trading errors resulting from: Vanguard’s selection of securities from the relevantindex; orFor example, there is a risk that issuers of fixed interestand debt securities may not be able to meet their paymentobligations and a risk that profits associated with foreignexchange contracts may not be realised.Any securities lending in the fixed interest Funds is with aselected group of counterparties, all of which have AA orbetter long term and A1 short-term credit ratings fromStandard & Poor’s (or Moody’s equivalent ratings).Derivative riskThe primary risks associated with the use of derivativecontracts are: the values of the derivative may fail to move in line withthe underlying asset (a performance difference); the potential lack of liquidity of the derivative; the Funds may not be able to meet payment obligationsfor the derivative contracts as they arise; and the counterparty to the derivative contract may not meetits obligations under the contract.The risk of a performance difference is minimised byinvesting in derivative contracts where the behaviour isexpected to resemble the key risk/return characteristics ofthe Fund’s underlying securities.The risk that a Fund may not be able to close out aderivatives position is minimised by entering intotransactions on an exchange with an active and liquidsecondary market, or with counterparties that are able toprovide a minimum level of liquidity for any transactions inthe over-the-counter market.The Funds do not use derivative contracts for speculativepurposes or to leverage the assets of the Funds.Regulatory risk a currency hedge failing to behave in line with thetarget index.Vanguard’s investment approach seeks to mitigate this risk.Fund riskFund risk relates to risks that are particular to the Funds.These may include risks that: the costs of managing the portfolios may not bemeasured by the relevant index or benchmark; securities in the relevant index or benchmark for aFund may change due to changes in the industry or therelevant sector; fees and expenses for a Fund could change; Vanguard could be replaced as manager; or a Fund could terminate.There is also a risk that investing in the Funds may givedifferent results than investing directly in the underlyingsecurities because of the income or capital gains accruedin the Funds and the consequences of investment andwithdrawal by other investors.Other operational risksThere is a risk that circumstances beyond Vanguard’sreasonable control could prevent Vanguard from managingthe Funds in accordance with their investment strategiesand as otherwise contemplated by this PDS.Examples of these circumstances include strikes, industrialdisputes, fires or other casualty, war, civil disturbance,terrorist acts, governmental pre-emption in connection withan emergency of state and epidemics (including potentialepidemics). By investing in these Funds you agree thatVanguard is not liable if Vanguard is prevented from managingthe Funds by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.This is the risk that a government or regulator may introduceregulatory and tax changes that affect the value of securitiesin which one or more of the Funds invest, or the value ofyour units in the Fund.The Funds may be affected by changes to legislation orgovernment policy both in Australia and in other countries.These changes are monitored by Vanguard and action istaken, where appropriate, to facilitate the achievement of theFunds’ investment objectives.Product Disclosure Statement 9
