Compare investment growth

Compare the growth of hypothetical $10,000 investments in up to 3 Vanguard funds and a benchmark. To get an accurate comparison, choose a time period that covers the number of years all funds have been in existence. Make your selections, and move your mouse over the graph to see the changes in returns.

Figures include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but don't reflect the effect of any sales charges or redemption fees, which would lower these figures. The initial investment used in the graph may be higher or lower than the initial minimum amount required to invest in each fund. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance cannot be used to predict future returns.

The performance data shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so that investors' shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited.
