Vanguard Global Bond Index Inst+ $ Hdg

Objectives: The Fund employs a passive management - or indexing - investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Float Adjusted and Scaled Index (the "Index"). The Index includes investment-grade bonds from around the world with maturities greater than one year. The Index is a market-weighted index of global government, government-related agencies, corporate and securitised fixed income investments with maturities greater than one year. The Fund attempts to:1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index.2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses. While the Fund is expected to track the Index as closely as possible, it typically will not match the performance of the targeted Index exactly, due to various factors such as expenses to be paid by the Fund and regulatory constraints. Details of these factors and the anticipated tracking error of the Fund are set out in the Prospectus. The Fund may use derivatives in order to reduce risk or cost and/or generate extra income or growth. A derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on the value of a financial asset (such as a share, bond, or currency) or a market index. Subject to certain exceptions set out in the Prospectus, Shares in the Fund can be bought or sold or exchanged on a daily basis (save on certain bank / public holidays and subject to certain restrictions described in Appendix 1 of the Prospectus or in a separate Supplement) by submitting an application in writing. A list of the days on which shares in the Fund cannot be bought or sold is available onhttps://fund-docs.vanguard.com/holiday-calendar-vanguard-investment-series-plc-irish-fun
