Supplement to the Statement of Additional Information Dated February 25, 2015

Statement of Additional Information Text Changes

In the Investment Advisory Services section, the following is added under the heading “1. Other Accounts Managed” beginning on page B-36: Benjamin S. Silver co-manages a portion of Vanguard Windsor Fund; as of March 31, 2015, the Fund held assets of $18.5 billion. As of March 31, 2015, Mr. Silver managed 6 other registered investment companies with total assets of $3.2 billion (advisory fees not based on account performance), 28 other pooled investment vehicles with total assets of $774 million (advisory fees not based on account performance), and 104 other accounts with total assets of $4.8 billion (advisory fees based on account performance for 3 of these accounts with total assets of $767 million).

Also in the Investment Advisory Services section, the following replaces similar text under the heading “3. Description of Compensation” on page B-38:

Mr. Pzena, Mr. Goetz, Mr. Silver, and the other investment professionals at Pzena are compensated through a combination of a fixed base salary, performance bonus, and equity ownership, if appropriate, due to superior personal performance. The time frame Pzena examines for bonus compensation is annual. Pzena considers both quantitative and qualitative factors when determining performance bonuses; however, performance bonuses are not based on Fund performance or assets of the Fund. For investment professionals, Pzena examines such things as effort, efficiency, ability to focus on the correct issues, stock modeling ability, and ability to successfully interact with company management. However, Pzena always looks at the person as a whole and the contributions that he/she has made and is likely to make in the future. Pzena avoids a compensation model that is driven by individual security performance, as this can lead to short-term thinking which is contrary to the firm’s value investment philosophy. Ultimately, equity ownership is the primary tool used by Pzena for attracting and retaining the best people. This ties personnel to long term performance as the value of their ownership stake depends on our delivering superior long term results to investors. Mr. Pzena, Mr. Goetz, and Mr. Silver are equity owners of Pzena.

Also on page B-38, the following is added under the heading “4. Ownership of Securities”:

As of March 31, 2015, Mr. Silver did not own any shares of Vanguard Windsor Fund.
