Prospectus and Summary Prospectus Text Changes
The following paragraph replaces a similar paragraph under the heading Annual
Total Returns:
The following bar chart and table are intended to help you understand the risks
of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows how the performance of the
Portfolio has varied from one calendar year to another over the periods shown.
The table shows how the average annual total returns of the Portfolio compare
with those of a relevant market index and a composite index, which have
investment characteristics similar to those of the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s
returns are net of its expenses but do not reflect additional fees and expenses
that are deducted by the annuity or life insurance program through which you
invest. If such fees and expenses were included in the calculation of the
Portfolio’s returns, the returns would be lower. Keep in mind that the Portfolio’s
past performance does not indicate how the Portfolio will perform in the future.
Updated performance information is available on our website for Financial
Advisors at advisors.vanguard.com or by calling Vanguard toll-free at
