The 12 months ended October 31, 2022, were a volatile, challenging period for financial markets. Returns for Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ranged from –24.70% for Investor Shares to –24.61% for Institutional Select Shares.
The economic backdrop deteriorated as inflation soared to multidecade highs, fueled in part by higher energy and food prices in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Then price increases broadened to other categories of goods and services, adding to concerns that inflation would remain stubbornly high. That prompted aggressive tightening by many central banks to bring inflation back in check and increased fears of a recession.
European stocks, which represent more than a third of the fund’s benchmark index, detracted most from its return, particularly those of Germany and France.
The majority of the fund’s 11 market sectors declined for the 12 months. Consumer discretionary, financials, industrials, and technology were relative laggards.
