Vanguard Announces Intent to Revert Diversification Status for Two Funds
August 25, 2025-Vanguard today announced its intent to seek shareholder approval to change the diversification status of both the ETF and mutual fund share classes of Vanguard Health Care Index Fund (ETF shares: VHT, Admiral shares: VHCIX) and Vanguard Financials Index Fund (ETF shares: VFH, Admiral shares: VFAIX) from diversified to non-diversified, which requires a shareholder vote.
Currently, the diversification limits constrain funds' ability to directly invest in securities in proportion to their weights in their respective benchmarks, as the benchmarks have become increasingly concentrated in a small number of stocks. If approved by fund shareholders, the diversification status changes will enable the funds to invest directly in securities in the same weights as their target benchmarks.
