distributions for the Vanguard ETFs® listed below for

About Vanguard
Vanguard Investments Canada Inc. is a wholly owned indirect
subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc. and manages more than
$5.6 billion (CAD) in assets. The
Vanguard Group, Inc. is one of the world's largest investment
management companies and a leading provider of company-sponsored
retirement plan services. As at September
30, 2015, Vanguard managed more than $3.3 trillion (USD) in global assets, including

ETF assets. Vanguard has offices in the
United States, Canada,
Europe, Australia and Asia. The firm offers 300 funds, including

Vanguard clients. This unique mutual structure aligns Vanguard
interests with those of its investors and drives the culture,
philosophy, and policies throughout the Vanguard organization
worldwide. As a result, Canadian investors benefit from Vanguard's
stability and experience, low-cost investing, and client focus. For

Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be
associated with investments in a Vanguard ETF®. Investment
objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other important information
are contained in the prospectus; please read it before investing.
