Example

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It illustrates the hypothetical
expenses that you would incur over various periods if you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s
shares. This example assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that
operating expenses remain as stated in the preceding table. The results apply
whether or not you redeem your investment at the end of the given period. Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs
would be:

1 Year  3 Years  5 Years  10 Years 
$48  $151  $263  $591 

 

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate
higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in
a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating
expenses or in the previous expense example, reduce the Fund’s performance. During
the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 22%.

Primary Investment Strategies
The Fund invests mainly in the stocks of medium-size U.S. companies, choosing
stocks considered by an advisor to be undervalued. Undervalued stocks are generally
those that are out of favor with investors and are trading at prices that the advisor
feels are below-average in relation to such measures as earnings and book value.
These stocks often have above-average dividend yields. The Fund uses multiple
investment advisors.

Primary Risks
An investment in the Fund could lose money over short or even long periods. You should
expect the Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate within a wide range, like the
fluctuations of the overall stock market. The Fund’s performance could be hurt by:

Stock market risk, which is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock
markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices.

Investment style risk, which is the chance that returns from mid-capitalization value
stocks will trail returns from the overall stock market. Historically, mid-cap stocks have
been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that dominate the overall market,

and they often perform quite differently. Mid-cap stocks tend to have greater volatility
than large-cap stocks because, among other things, medium-size companies are more
sensitive to changing economic conditions.

Manager risk, which is the chance that poor security selection or focus on securities in
a particular sector, category, or group of companies will cause the Fund to underperform
relevant benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective.

Asset concentration risk, which is the chance that the Fund’s performance may be
adversely affected by the poor performance of relatively few stocks.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Annual Total Returns
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand the risks of
investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund has
varied from one calendar year to another over the periods shown. The table shows
how the average annual total returns compare with those of a relevant market index,
which has investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund. Keep in mind that
the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund
will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on our
website at vanguard.com/performance or by calling Vanguard toll-free at 800-662-7447.

Average Annual Total Returns for Periods Ended December 31, 2010     
  1 Year  5 Years  10 Years 
Vanguard Selected Value Fund Investor Shares       
Return Before Taxes  19.44%  4.53%  8.83% 
Return After Taxes on Distributions  19.17  3.74  8.11 
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares  13.00  3.73  7.60 
Russell Midcap Value Index       
(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes)  24.75%  4.08%  8.07% 

 

Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown in
the preceding table. When after-tax returns are calculated, it is assumed that the
shareholder was in the highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket at the time
of each distribution of income or capital gains or upon redemption. State and local
income taxes are not reflected in the calculations. Please note that after-tax returns are
not relevant for a shareholder who holds fund shares in a tax-deferred account, such as
an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan. Also, figures captioned Return After
Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares will be higher than other figures for the
same period if a capital loss occurs upon redemption and results in an assumed tax
deduction for the shareholder.

Tax Information
The Fund’s distributions may be taxable as ordinary income or capital gain. Distributions
are taxable to you for federal income tax purposes, whether or not you reinvest these
amounts in additional Fund shares. A sale or exchange of Fund shares is a taxable
event, which means that you may have a capital gain to report as income, or a capital
loss to report as a deduction, when you complete your federal income tax return.
Dividend and capital gains distributions that you receive, as well as your gains or losses
from any sale or exchange of Fund shares, may also be subject to state and local
income taxes.

Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The Fund and its investment advisors do not pay financial intermediaries for sales of
Fund shares.
