Objective: “Vanguard Health Care Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.”
How it invests: “The Fund employs an active management approach. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks of companies principally engaged in the development, production, or distribution of products and services related to the health care industry. For purposes of the 80% policy, these companies include, among others, pharmaceutical firms, medical supply companies, and businesses that operate hospitals and other health care facilities, and the Fund may also consider companies engaged in medical, diagnostic, biochemical, and other research and development activities.”

Data provided bySource: Twelve DataCompound annual growth rate per holding period, total return (dividends reinvested), from weekly adjusted closes. Each column is anchored at the date under it; horizons the fund’s history can’t span are omitted.
Fund flows#
Net creations minus redemptions per period, from the fund’s SEC Form N-PORT filings (series-level: where a fund shares its portfolio with mutual-fund share classes, flows cover all classes combined). Quarterly filings publish with a ~60-day lag, so recent months appear as filings land. Flow data begins mid-2019 — Form N-PORT did not exist before then, for any fund.
