Tracking Error

1

Each Sub-Fund listed in the table employs a “passive” investment strategy designed to replicate the performance of its benchmark Index. Some Sub-Funds attempt to replicate the Index by investing all, or substantially all, of their assets in the securities that make up the Index, holding each in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the Index. Others attempt to select those securities that will create the representative sample that tracks the performance of the Index as closely as possible. Optimisation or stratified sampling techniques, or both, are used to create the sample.

Tracking error measures the volatility of the return difference between the Sub-Fund and the Index. It is calculated as the standard deviation of the tracking difference between the Sub-Fund and the Index (gross of fees for the trailing 36-month period, or since the Sub-Fund’s inception if it does not have 36 months of performance history).

Investment ObjectiveThe Sub-Fund seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed Index, a widely recognised benchmark composed of stocks of large- and mid-capitalisation companies in global developed markets.

Performance SummaryThe Performance Summary does not form part of the financial statements.

• As the six months ended 30 June came to a close, macroeconomic indicators signaled a faster global economic rebound than many had expected after the sharpest contraction in modern history. Yet the recovery has been uneven. Countries that have contained the virus more successfully, whether through vaccinations, lockdowns, or both, generally have fared better economically. And the COVID-19 pandemic remained far from over, with new variants of the virus surfacing where vaccination rates have lagged and the human toll continuing to mount, especially in less developed economies.

• Swift and extensive support from governments and central banks has been a key to the rebound. So far in 2021, it has included fiscal stimulus – including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in the United States and the €673 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility in Europe – and pledges by a number of central banks to keep rates low for some time.

• Fixed income prices worldwide generally fell and longer-term yields rose amid concerns about inflation, resulting in negative returns for the six months ended 30 June.

• Stock markets continued the rally that began in 2020, bolstered by reopening economies, more consumer spending and rising corporate profits. Returns in the United States and Europe outpaced those in emerging markets and especially the Pacific.

• The Sub-Fund’s benchmark index returned 16.72% for the half year.

• Stocks in the index performed well generally, with all sectors advancing. Nine of the 11 produced double-digit returns. Technology, the largest sector, contributed most to results, followed by financials and industrials.

• US stocks, which account for more than 60% of the index, generated most of the benchmark’s return.

Benchmark returns in the commentary above are in euros.

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the Sub-Fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's units, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.* The tracking difference between the Sub-Fund return and the Index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in

weightings, trading activity, swing pricing, transaction costs, and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the Sub-Fund and the Index vendor.1 Since-inception returns: 25 February 2016.

Investment ObjectiveThe Sub-Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by seeking to achieve the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe Index, a free-float-adjusted market-capitalisation index composed of large- and mid-cap stocks from across developed European Markets.

Performance SummaryThe Performance Summary does not form part of the financial statements.

• As the six months ended 30 June came to a close, macroeconomic indicators signaled a faster global economic rebound than many had expected after the sharpest contraction in modern history. Yet the recovery has been uneven. Countries that have contained the virus more successfully, whether through vaccinations, lockdowns, or both, generally have fared better economically. And the COVID-19 pandemic remained far from over, with new variants of the virus surfacing where vaccination rates have lagged and the human toll continuing to mount, especially in less developed economies.

• Swift and extensive support from governments and central banks has been a key to the rebound. So far in 2021, it has included fiscal stimulus – including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in the United States and the €673 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility in Europe – and pledges by a number of central banks to keep rates low for some time.

• Stock markets continued the rally that began in 2020, bolstered by reopening economies, more consumer spending and rising corporate profits. Returns in the United States and Europe outpaced those in emerging markets and the Pacific.

• For the period, the Sub-Fund’s benchmark index returned 15.77%.

• Ten of the benchmark’s 11 sectors recorded positive returns. Financials, industrials and consumer discretionary were the biggest contributors to results. Utilities posted a slightly negative return.

• Among markets, the United Kingdom, which represents nearly a quarter of the index, made the largest contribution to return for the period. France, Germany and Switzerland were also strong performers.

All returns in the commentary above are in euros.

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the Sub-Fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's units, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.* The tracking difference between the Sub-Fund return and the Index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in

weightings, trading activity, swing pricing, transaction costs, and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the Sub-Fund and the Index vendor.1 Since-inception returns: Institutional B EUR Accumulation Units - NL FBI, 17 November 2017; Institutional B EUR Accumulation Units - NL Pension, 20 November 2018.

Investment ObjectiveThe Sub-Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by seeking to achieve the performance of the FTSE Developed Index, a market-capitalisation-weighted index of common stocks of large- and mid-sized companies in developed countries.

Performance SummaryThe Performance Summary does not form part of the financial statements.

• As the six months ended 30 June came to a close, macroeconomic indicators signaled a faster global economic rebound than many had expected after the sharpest contraction in modern history. Yet the recovery has been uneven. Countries that have contained the virus more successfully, whether through vaccinations, lockdowns, or both, generally have fared better economically. And the COVID-19 pandemic remained far from over, with new variants of the virus surfacing where vaccination rates have lagged and the human toll continuing to mount, especially in less developed economies.

• Swift and extensive support from governments and central banks has been a key to the rebound. So far in 2021, it has included fiscal stimulus – including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in the United States and the €673 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility in Europe – and pledges by a number of central banks to keep rates low for some time.

• Stock markets continued the rally that began in 2020, bolstered by reopening economies, more consumer spending and rising corporate profits. Returns in the United States and Europe outpaced those in emerging markets and the Pacific.

• For the period, the Sub-Fund’s benchmark index returned 16.72%.

• All of the index’s 11 sectors recorded positive results. Technology and financials were the biggest contributors, followed by industrials, consumer discretionary and health care.

• US stocks, which made up more than 60% of the index, on average, during the period, returned more than 18% and accounted for most of its return.

All returns in the commentary above are in euros.

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the Sub-Fund. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at http://global.vanguard.com. Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's units, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.* The tracking difference between the Sub-Fund return and the Index return over a stated period of time can be attributed to a number of factors, including, without limitation, small differences in

weightings, trading activity, swing pricing, transaction costs and differences in the valuation and withholding tax treatment between the Sub-Fund and the Index vendor. Tracking difference in the table above is in percentage points.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information. Vanguard Investments II Common Contractual Fund (the “Fund”) is a common contractual fund constituted by a Deed of Constitution governed by the laws of Ireland. The Fund is constituted as an umbrella fund insofar as the units of the Fund (the “Units”) will be divided into different series of Units with each series of Units representing a separate investment portfolio of assets which will constitute a separate sub-fund (each a “Sub-Fund”, collectively “Sub-Funds”). Units of any particular series may be divided into different classes to accommodate different subscription and redemption provisions, other charges, dividends and fee arrangements, including different total ongoing charges figures.

The Fund was authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) on 1 September 2015 as an Undertaking for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) under the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 (as amended) (the “UCITS Regulations”).

Vanguard Group (Ireland) Limited (the “Manager”) acts as manager to the Sub-Funds. The registered office of the Manager is 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin D02 HD32, Ireland.

At 30 June 2021 three Sub-Funds were in issue:

Commenced OperationsVanguard FTSE Developed World II Common Contractual Fund 25 February 2016Vanguard SRI FTSE Developed Europe II Common Contractual Fund 17 November 2017Vanguard SRI FTSE Developed World II Common Contractual Fund 21 June 2017

2. Basis of Preparation. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard (“FRS”) 102 and FRS 104, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019 (the "CBI UCITS Regulations") and the UCITS Regulations. Accounting standards generally accepted in Ireland in preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view are those published by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and issued by the Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”).

The Sub-Funds have availed of the exemption contained in FRS 102, Section 7.1A, Cash Flow Statements, and have presented a Statement of Changes in Equity or Statement of Changes in Net Assets to Holders of Redeemable Units, as applicable, in place of a cash flow statement. In the opinion of the Directors of the Manager (the “Directors”), this information also satisfies the requirement of FRS 102, Section 10.4, Reporting Financial Performance, in relation to a reconciliation of movements in Unitholders’ Equity or Net Assets.

Functional and Presentation Currency. Items included in each Sub-Fund’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (“the functional currency”). Each Sub-Fund’s financial statements are presented in euro (€), being both the functional and presentation currency of each Sub-Fund.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, subject to the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

3. Significant Accounting Policies. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and financial liabilities held at FVTPL.

The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the relevant Sub-Fund’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102.

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies adopted by the Sub-Fund since the last audited financial statements on 31 December 2020, and the accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

4. Fair Value Hierarchy. The Sub-Funds classify financial instruments measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy. Instruments are categorised in their entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance and observability of a particular input requires significant judgement specific to an asset or liability. Inputs are considered to be observable when they are readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

Notes to the Financial Statements

6. Distributions. The Manager did not declare a dividend in respect of participating units in the Sub-Funds (30 June 2020: Nil). Accordingly, income and gains of the Sub-Funds will be reflected in the net asset value per unit.

7. Related Party Transactions.

Manager. Vanguard Group (Ireland) Limited is the Manager of the Sub-Funds and acts as a principal in respect of all transactions of units in the Sub-Funds. For its services, the Manager receives a fixed single fee per unit class (the “Management Charge”) calculated on a daily basis and paid monthly. Out of the fees received, the Manager pays for any sub-advisers, as well as the costs of administration including audit, depositary, legal, registration and regulatory fees associated with the Sub-Funds. As a result, the Manager anticipates the ongoing charges figure (“OCF”) of each unit class will closely track the Management Charge. In the event that the costs and expenses of any Sub-Fund exceed the OCF, the Manager will be responsible for discharging any excess out of its own assets. The Manager, in its sole discretion, may voluntarily waive all or part of its fee, and any such waiver could be discontinued at any time and without notice.

Any amounts due from or to the Manager at the end of the period are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Amounts paid to the Manager in respect to fees for the period are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

Annual Management Charge per unit class as at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020:

Institutional UnitsInstitutional

Hedged UnitsVanguard FTSE Developed World II Common Contractual Fund 0.25% 0.27%Vanguard SRI FTSE Developed Europe II Common Contractual Fund 0.28% —Vanguard SRI FTSE Developed World II Common Contractual Fund 0.35% 0.37%

Directors’ Fees. The aggregate emolument of the Directors paid by the Manager out of the OCF on behalf of the Sub-Funds and other funds managed by the Manager (including expenses) for the period ended 30 June 2021 was €159,886 (30 June 2020: €194,834), with €0 outstanding at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: Nil).

The company had seven Directors as at 30 June 2021, three of whom were independent. The interests of the Directors in related parties are as follows:

Mr Sean P. Hagerty is Managing Director of Vanguard Asset Management, Limited; Mr Michael S. Miller retired as a Managing Director of The Vanguard Group, Inc., in 2015; Ms Robyn Laidlaw is Head of Distribution, Europe; Ms Tara Doyle is a partner in the legal advisory firm acting as the Manager’s Secretary and serving the activities of the Manager. Mr Richard Wane, Managing Director, Ireland, resigned as a Director with effect from 31 March 2021 and Ann Stock, Managing Director, Ireland, was appointed as a Director with effect from 1 April 2021.

Investment Manager. Vanguard Global Advisers, LLC, is the Investment Manager of the Fund and is compensated by the Manager. The Investment Manager or the Manager, at their discretion, may appoint other companies from within the Vanguard Group of Companies to provide investment management and advisory services with respect to the Sub-Funds.

Inter-Fund Trading. The table below details the inter-fund trades between the Sub-Funds and other funds, also managed by the Investment Manager during the periods ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020. There were no amounts outstanding between these parties as at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020.

During the period ended 30 June 2021:

Sub-Fund Bought Sold Vanguard SRI FTSE Developed World II Common Contractual Fund €8,351,040 €3,467,114

During the period ended 30 June 2020:

Sub-Fund Bought Sold Vanguard SRI FTSE Developed World II Common Contractual Fund €2,281,507 €1,649,260

8. Credit Facility. The Sub-Funds participate in an annually renewable USD $4.3 billion (2020: USD $4.3 billion) committed credit facility. Each participating fund is individually liable for its borrowings under the credit facility, even in default. Borrowings may be utilised for temporary or emergency purposes, and are subject to the Sub-Fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. Participating funds are allocated an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility as well as certain administrative fees. Any fees allocated to the Sub-Funds are paid by the Manager. Interest and direct borrowing costs associated with draws on the credit facility borrowings are charged to the Sub-Funds and recorded in the Statement of Operations.

Any borrowings under this facility denominated in euros bear interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin, while borrowings under this facility in denominations other than euros bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (or an acceptable alternate rate, if necessary), federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The Sub-Funds did not have any borrowings outstanding at 30 June 2021 or at any time during the period then ended (31 December 2020: Nil).

Notes to the Financial Statements

9. Taxation. The Sub-Funds do not have a separate legal personality and are transparent for tax purposes. The Sub-Funds are each a common contractual fund (“CCF”) within the meaning of Section 739(1) of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (“TCA”), in which the unitholders by contractual arrangement participate and share in the property of the Sub-Fund as co-owners. Therefore, the Sub-Fund is not chargeable to Irish tax on its relevant income or relevant gains (“relevant profits”). Instead, the relevant profits of the Sub-Fund are treated as arising or, as the case may be, accruing to each unitholder of the Sub-Fund in proportion to the value of the units beneficially owned by the unitholder, as if the relevant profits had arisen, or as the case may be, accrued to the unitholders in the CCF without passing through the hands of the CCF. This tax treatment is subject to each of the units of the Sub-Fund being:

(a) a pension fund; or

(b) beneficially owned by a person (other than an individual); or

(c) a custodian or trustee holding units of the Fund or of a Sub-Fund for the benefit of such person(s) as referred to in (a) or (b).

No stamp duty, documentary, transfer or registration tax is payable by the Sub-Fund on the issue, transfer, redemption, repurchase or cancellation of or subscription for units in the Sub-Fund. Where any subscription for or redemption of units is satisfied by in-specie transfer of any Irish situate securities, property or other types of assets, Irish stamp duty may arise on the transfer of such assets.

10. Efficient Portfolio Management. The Sub-Funds may employ investment techniques and use financial derivative instruments (such as futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts, options and swaps) for efficient portfolio management purposes including hedging against market price movements, and foreign currency, interest rate and liquidity risks. Any such technique or instrument must be one which (alone or in combination with one or more other techniques or instruments) is believed by the Investment Manager to be economically appropriate to the efficient portfolio management of the Sub-Fund; i.e. the use of a technique or instrument may only be undertaken for the purposes of one or more of the following:

(a) a reduction in risk,

(b) a reduction in costs,

(c) an increase in capital or income returns to the Sub-Fund.

Futures and forward foreign currency exchange contracts at the period end are disclosed on each Sub-Fund’s Statement of Investments. Realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from financial derivative transactions are accounted for through the Statement of Operations as Net Gain/(Loss) on Financial Instruments.

11. Collateral.

Cash Collateral. Cash collateral pledged or received is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is valued at its fair value. A corresponding liability to repay cash collateral received (if any) is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is also valued at its fair value.

The counterparties for Cash Collateral are BNP Paribas, Citibank NA, Morgan Stanley, State Street Bank & Trust Co. and Toronto-Dominion Bank (31 December 2020: Citibank NA, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Toronto-Dominion Bank).

Securities Collateral. The Sub-Funds did not have securities collateral posted for financial derivative instruments as at 30 June 2021.

The table below lists collateral posted for financial derivative instruments as at 31 December 2020 which relate to forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Potential Implications of BrexitThe United Kingdom is no longer a member state of the European Union. Despite the negotiation of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement in December 2020, the future economic and political relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union (and between the United Kingdom and other countries) remains uncertain and subject to further negotiation in many respects, and a period of economic and political uncertainty may therefore continue in the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Political and economic uncertainty may lead to speculation and subsequent market volatility, particularly for assets denominated in British pounds. Vanguard continues to encourage investors to follow its core investing principles, including maintaining long-term discipline. The implications of Brexit extend beyond the UK economy and financial markets, affecting multinational organisations globally. The relevant regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom may in the future make changes to their rules which deviate from the standards applicable in the European Union. This could result in changes being made to the rules applicable in the European Union.

The nature and extent of the impact of these factors on the Funds are uncertain, but may be adverse. Vanguard remains committed to safeguarding our investors’ assets and their long-term interests and has devoted significant resources to developing plans to manage the impact of Brexit.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)Market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have had a global impact, and uncertainty exists as to the long-term implications. Such disruptions can adversely affect assets of the Sub-Funds and thus performance of the Sub-Funds. Vanguard continues to encourage investors to follow its core investment principles, including maintaining long-term discipline. Vanguard is committed to safeguarding the assets of investors and their long-term interests.
