**Vanguard Wellington**<sup>TM</sup> **Dividend Growth Active ETF**

**Supplement Dated June 22, 2026, to the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus**

**Important Changes to the Fund** 

The board of trustees of Vanguard Wellesley<sup>®</sup> Income Fund has approved amending the investment strategy for Vanguard Wellington Dividend Growth Active ETF (the "Fund") effective on or about June 22, 2026. The investment objective of the Fund remains unchanged.

**Prospectus and Summary Prospectus Text Changes**

The following replaces the language under the "Principal Investment Strategies" heading in the **Fund Summary** section:

The Fund employs an active management approach, investing primarily in stocks that tend to offer current dividends. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend growth stocks. For purposes of the 80% policy, a dividend growth stock is a stock that has paid a dividend within the past five years. The Fund focuses on stocks of high-quality companies that have prospects for long-term total returns as a result of their ability to grow earnings and their willingness to increase dividends over time. These stocks typically (but not always) are large-cap, undervalued relative to the market, and show potential for increasing dividends. The Fund seeks to invest broadly across industry sectors.

The Fund is considered nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which means that it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of particular issuers as compared with diversified funds.

**Prospectus Text Changes**

The following is added as the second paragraph in the **More on the Fund** section under the "Implementation of Investment Objective" heading:

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend growth stocks. For purposes of the 80% policy, a dividend growth stock is a stock that

has paid a dividend within the past five years. Investments in derivatives may be counted toward the Fund's 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the investments included within the policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. The Fund may change its 80% policy only upon 60 days' notice to shareholders.
