B.	STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES

	The Board of Directors of The Vantagepoint Funds (the "Funds"
and each separate series thereof a "Fund")
has adopted the following standards and guidelines to be followed in
the acquisition of securities from an
underwriter of those securities by a Fund during the existence of an
underwriting or selling syndicate,
where a principal underwriter of the securities or an affiliated
person of the principal underwriter,
is an officer, director, member of an advisory board, investment
adviser or employee of the Fund
(an "Affiliated Underwriter").

       (1) Type of Security:  To be eligible for purchase,
the securities must be: (i) part of an
issue registered under the 1933 Act that is being offered to
the public; (ii) part of an issue of
government securities, as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the
1940 Act; (iii) Eligible Municipal Securities;
(iv) securities sold in an Eligible Foreign Offering; or
(v) securities sold in an Eligible Rule 144A offering.

       (2) Timing and Price:  (i)  The securities must be purchased
before the end of the first day on
which any sales are made, at a price that is not more than the
price paid by each other purchaser of
securities in that offering or in any concurrent offering of the
securities (except, in the case of
an Eligible Foreign Offering, for any rights to purchase that are
required by law to be granted to
existing security holders of the issuer); and (ii) if the securities
are offered for subscription
upon exercise of rights, the securities must be purchased on or before
the fourth day preceding the day on which
the rights offering terminates.

       (3) Reasonable Reliance:  For purposes of determining compliance
with paragraphs B(1)(v) and B(2)(i) of
these procedures, a Fund may reasonably rely upon written statements
made by the issuer or a syndicate manager,
or by an underwriter or seller of the securities through which the
Fund purchases the securities.

       (4) Continuous Operation:  If the securities to be purchased
are part of an issue registered under
the 1933 Act that is being offered to the public, are government
securities (as defined in Section 2(a)(16)
of the 1940 Act), or are purchased pursuant to an Eligible Foreign Offering
or an Eligible Rule 144A Offering,
the issuer of the securities must have been in continuous operation for not
less than three years,
including the operations of any predecessors.

       (5) Firm Commitment Underwriting:  The securities must be offered
pursuant to an underwriting or
similar agreement under which the underwriters are committed to purchase
all of the securities being offered,
except those purchased by others pursuant to a rights offering,
if the underwriters purchase any of the securities.

       (6) Reasonable Commission:  The commission, spread or profit
received or to be received by the principal
underwriters must be reasonable and fair compared to the commission, spread
or profit received by other such
persons in connection with the underwriting of similar securities being
sold during a comparable period of time.

       (7) Percentage Limit:  The amount of securities of any class of
such issue to be purchased by a Fund,
aggregated with purchases by any other investment company advised by the
same adviser or subadviser, and any
purchases by another account with respect to which the adviser or subadviser
has investment discretion if the
adviser or subadviser exercised such investment discretion with respect to the
purchase, may not exceed: (i)
if purchased in an offering other than an Eligible Rule 144A Offering,
25 percent of the principal amount of
the offering of such class; or (ii) if purchased in an Eligible Rule 144A
Offering, 25 percent of the total
of:  (a) the principal amount of the offering of such class sold by
underwriters or members of the selling
syndicate to qualified institutional buyers, as defined in 1933 Act Rule 144A(a)(1);
plus (b) the principal
amount of the offering of such class in any concurrent public offering
("Volume Limits"). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the purchase of a security, during the existence of an
underwriting or selling syndicate,
for which an Affiliated Underwriter is a principal underwriter, need not be
counted as a purchase by a Fund
subject to the Volume Limits, provided (a) the Fund has two or more subadvisers;
(b) the purchase is made
for a separate and discrete portion of the Fund's investment portfolio that is
managed by a subadviser that
is not the Affiliated Underwriter or an affiliated person of the Affiliated
Underwriter (except by virtue
of serving as subadviser to the separate and discrete portion of the Fund);
(c) the subadviser that is,
or is affiliated with, an Affiliated Underwriter ("Affiliated Subadviser")
will not consult, directly or
indirectly, with Vantagepoint Investment Advisers, LLC  ("VIA") or another
subadviser about the transaction
(except that VIA may be consulted for purposes of monitoring regulatory
compliance); (d) the Affiliated
Subadviser's fees will not be affected by the investment performance of
another subadviser; and (e) the
Affiliated Subadviser will not (except by virtue of serving, or having an
affiliated person who serves, as a subadviser
to a different separate and discrete portion of the Fund) be an affiliated person
or an affiliate of an affiliate of
VIA, another subadviser of the Fund or a principal underwriter, promoter, officer,
director or employee of the Fund.

       (8) Prohibition of Certain Affiliate Transactions:  A Fund may not purchase
the securities being offered
directly or indirectly from an officer, director, member of an advisory board,
investment adviser or employee of the Fund
or from a person of which any such officer, director, member of an advisory board,
investment adviser or employee is
an affiliated person, including an Affiliated Underwriter; provided, that a
purchase from a syndicate manager shall
not be deemed to be a purchase from a specific underwriter if: (i) such
underwriter does not benefit directly
or indirectly from the transaction; or (ii) in respect to the purchase of
Eligible Municipal Securities, such
purchase is not designated as a group sale or otherwise allocated to the
account of any person from whom this
paragraph prohibits the purchase.

       (9) Periodic Reporting:  Each Fund shall report on its Form N-SAR
the existence of any transaction
effected pursuant to these procedures and a written record of each such
transaction setting forth from whom
the securities were acquired, the identity of the underwriting syndicate's
members, the terms of the
transaction, and the information or materials upon which the determination
described in paragraph
(B)(10) of these procedures was made shall be attached thereto.

       (10) Board Review:  The Board of Directors of the Funds, including a
majority of its members
who are not "interested persons" as defined under the 1940 Act, shall
approve these procedures and
any changes to them, and the Board, including a majority of its members
who are not "interested persons" of the Funds as that term is defined
under the 1940 Act, shall determine no
less frequently than quarterly that all purchases made pursuant to
these procedures during the
preceding quarter were effected in compliance with such procedures.

       (11) Maintenance of Records:  The Funds (i) shall maintain and
preserve permanently in an easily accessible place a written copy of
these procedures (and any change to them) and
(ii) shall maintain and preserve for a period not less than six years
from the end of the fiscal year in which any transactions effected
pursuant to these procedures occurred
(the first two years in an easily accessible place) a written record
of each such transaction, setting forth from whom the securities
were acquired, the identity of the underwriting
syndicate's members, the terms of the transaction, and the information
or materials upon which the determination described in paragraph
(B)(10) of these procedures was made.

       (12) Governance of the Funds: The Board of Directors of the
Funds must satisfy the "fund governance standards" as defined
in Rule 0-1(a)(7) under the 1940 Act.
