Business Wire
The Vanguard� FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund (AMEX:�VEU) is now
available for investor purchase, with ETF shares trading under the
ticker VEU on the American Stock Exchange. The new fund, which
seeks to track the performance of the FTSE All-World ex US Index,
provides exposure to 95% of the investable developed and emerging
markets outside the United States. The fund invests in large- and
mid-cap stocks of companies in 47 foreign countries, including
Canada. The new fund offers three low-cost shares: Investor Shares,
with an estimated expense ratio of 0.40%; Institutional Shares,
with an estimated expense ratio of 0.15%; and ETF Shares, with an
estimated expense ratio of 0.25%. The minimum initial investment
requirement for the Vanguard� FTSE All-World ex-US Index Fund is
$3,000 for Investor Shares and $5 million for Institutional Shares.
There will be a 0.25% purchase fee on investments in the Investor
and Institutional Shares and a 2% redemption fee applied to non-ETF
shares redeemed within two months of purchase. Vanguard cautions
that the launch of the new international offering should not be
construed as a recommendation to purchase international securities.
Investors are reminded to use international vehicles to diversify
an investment program. The Vanguard Group, headquartered in Valley
Forge, Pennsylvania, is the nation�s second-largest mutual fund
firm and a leading provider of company-sponsored retirement plan
services. Vanguard manages more than $1.1 trillion in U.S. mutual

investors and more than 40 additional funds in foreign markets. All
asset figures are as of February 28, 2007, unless otherwise noted.
All investments are subject to risk. Diversification does not
ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
