Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate Index Fund ETF Shares

The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index.

The index is composed of stocks of publicly traded equity real estate investment trusts (known as REITs) and certain real estate management and development companies (REMDs).
