Restructuring of the Investment Advisory Team

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Diversified Value Portfolio (the Portfolio) approved restructuring of the Portfolio's investment advisory team, removing Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (Barrow, Hanley) as investment advisor to the Portfolio and adding Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC (Hotchkis and Wiley) and Lazard Asset Management LLC (Lazard) to the Portfolio's investment advisory team. All references to Barrow, Hanley and all other details and descriptions regarding Barrow, Hanley's management of certain assets of the Portfolio in the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus are deleted in their entirety.
