Our accessibility commitment
Vanguard’s mission is to take a stand for all investors, so we want as many people as possible to be able to use our website and services.
To do this, we follow recommendations made by the Web Accessibility Initiative. We aim to meet Level AA against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2.
How accessible our website is
To make our website accessible, we use:
- strong colour contrast and easy to read fonts
- simple descriptive text to clearly define hyperlinks
- alternative descriptions for images and for links where appropriate
- plain English to make our website content easy to understand
You can also:
- zoom in up to 500% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader
You can learn more about making your device easier to use at AbilityNet
We’re working to make our website as accessible as possible but know that some parts are not yet fully accessible. For example:
- you cannot skip to the main content when using a screen reader
- there are empty cells in some tables
- some pages skip heading levels
- some older PDFs are not accessible to screen readers
