**Vanguard Advice Select Dividend Growth Fund**

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

**Important Changes to the Fund** 

The board of trustees of Vanguard Whitehall Funds has approved amending the investment strategy for Vanguard Advice Select Dividend Growth Fund (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. The Fund focuses on 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 securities typically (but not always) will be large-cap, undervalued relative to the market, and will show potential for increasing dividends. The Fund seeks to invest broadly across industry sectors. 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 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 replaces 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.

The Fund invests in large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies and is expected to diversify its assets in countries across developed and emerging markets.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in value stocks. For purposes of the 80% policy, a value stock is a stock that is included within at least one of the following value indices or a value index determined by the advisor to be similar to the foregoing: Russell 3000 Value Index, S&P 500 Value Index, S&P MidCap 400 Value Index, S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index, CRSP U.S. Mega Cap Value Index, CRSP U.S. Large Cap Value Index, CRSP U.S. Mid Cap Value Index, CRSP U.S. Small Cap Value Index, MSCI U.S. Prime Market Value Index, MSCI U.S. Small Cap Value Index, MSCI All Country World Value Index, or FTSE All-World Value Index.

The Fund employs an active management approach, investing predominantly in the stocks of companies located outside the United States.

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.
