Explanatory Note
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 100 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) (Amendment No. 103 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) to the registration
statement on Form N-1A (the “Registration Statement”) of Vanguard Specialized Funds (the “Trust”) is
being filed pursuant to paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of Rule 485 under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of
delaying, until September 26, 2018, the effective date of the Trust’s 99th Post-Effective Amendment. By
way of further background:
 
· Post-Effective Amendment No. 99 was filed under Rule 485(a)(1) on July 27, 2018. The purposes
of the Amendment are: (1) to disclose a change to the investment advisory arrangements for
Vanguard Precious Metals and Mining Fund (the “Fund”); (2) to change the Fund's name to
Vanguard Global Capital Cycles Fund; (3) to change the Fund's investment strategy; (4) to
change the Fund's benchmark against which it compares its performance; and (5) to effect a
number of non-material editorial changes. Post-Effective Amendment No. 99 originally
requested that the Amendment become effective September 25, 2018.
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 100 incorporates by reference the information contained in Parts A,
B, and C of Post-Effective Amendment No. 99 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement.
