Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of mid-capitalization value stocks in the United States.
Fees and Expenses
The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold ETF Shares of the Fund. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, such as business development companies. Business development company expenses are similar to the expenses paid by any operating company held by the Fund. They are not direct costs paid by Fund shareholders and are not used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value. They have no impact on the costs associated with fund operations.
1 Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not included in the Fund's financial statements, which provide a clearer picture of a fund's actual operating costs.

Example
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF with the cost of investing in other funds. It illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over various periods if you invest $10,000 in S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF. This example assumes that S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF provides a return of 5% a year and that total annual fund operating expenses remain as stated in the preceding table. The results apply whether or not you redeem your investment at the end of the given period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| $23 | $71 | $124 | $280 |
This example does not include the brokerage commissions that you may pay to buy and sell ETF Shares of the Fund.
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in more taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the previous expense example, reduce the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 31%.
Primary Investment Strategies
The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 ® Value Index, which represents the value companies of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Index measures the performance of mid-capitalization value stocks. The Fund attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the Index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the Index.
Primary Risks
An investment in the Fund could lose money over short or even long periods. You should expect the Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate within a wide range, like the fluctuations of the overall stock market. The Fund is subject to the following risks, which could affect the Fund’s performance:
2
• Stock market risk , which is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. The Fund’s target index may, at times, become focused in stocks of a particular sector, category, or group of companies, which could cause the Fund to underperform the overall stock market.
• Investment style risk , which is the chance that returns from mid-capitalization value stocks will trail returns from the overall stock market. Historically, mid-cap stocks have been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that dominate the overall market, and they often perform quite differently.
Because ETF Shares are traded on an exchange, they are subject to additional risks:
• S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and are bought and sold on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price and the NAV differ significantly. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares.
• Although S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, it is possible that an active trading market may not be maintained.
• Trading of S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF Shares on NYSE Arca may be halted by the activation of individual or marketwide “circuit breakers” (which halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a specified percentage). Trading of S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF Shares may also be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from NYSE Arca without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca officials determine that such action is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Annual Total Returns
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund‘s ETF Shares (based on NAV) in their first full calendar year. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the ETF Shares compare with those of the Fund‘s target index, which has investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund. Keep in mind that the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns — Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value Index Fund ETF Shares 1
1 The year-to-date return as of the most recent calendar quarter, which ended on September 30, 2012, was 13.26%.
During the periods shown in the bar chart, the highest return for a calendar quarter was 15.79% (quarter ended December 31, 2011), and the lowest return for a quarter was
–20.98% (quarter ended September 30, 2011).
Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. When after-tax returns are calculated, it is assumed that the shareholder was in the highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket at the time of each distribution of income or capital gains or upon redemption. State and local income taxes are not reflected in the calculations. Please note that after-tax returns are not relevant for a shareholder who holds fund shares in a tax-deferred account, such as

an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan. Also, figures captioned Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares will be higher than other figures for the same period if a capital loss occurs upon redemption and results in an assumed tax deduction for the shareholder.
