New Target Indexes for Underlying Funds

Effective immediately, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund and Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund, each an underlying fund investment for the Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds, Vanguard Managed Payout Funds, and Vanguard Target Retirement Funds, have begun tracking new target indexes, as previously approved by each fund’s board of trustees. The boards believe that the new indexes, listed below, are well-constructed and offer comprehensive coverage of the funds’ respective market segments. In addition, Vanguard’s agreements with the new index providers may result in savings to shareholders over time in the form of lower expense ratios.

Vanguard Fund Previous Target Index New Target Index
Total International Stock MSCI ACWI ex USA FTSE Global All Cap
Index Fund Investable Market Index ex US Index
Total Stock Market Index MSCI US Broad Market CRSP US Total Market
Fund Index Index

 

Each new index measures the same market segment as the corresponding previous index, so the investment objectives and risks described in the funds’ current prospectuses have not changed. Each new target index could provide different investment returns (either lower or higher) or different levels of volatility from those of the previous index.

Please see the underlying funds’ prospectuses for more information about the new target indexes.
