current income and some capital appreciation. Fees and Expenses The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and example below. Shareholder Fees (Fees paid directly from your investment) 0 0 0 0 25 Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0000 0 0.0000 0.0010 0.0010 Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Underlying Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. 10 32 56 128 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as purchase fees, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 8% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.08 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund invests in a mix of Vanguard mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”) according to an asset allocation strategy that reflects an allocation of approximately 20% of the Fund’s assets to common stocks and 80% to fixed income securities. The targeted percentage of the Fund’s assets allocated to the underlying asset classes is: • U.S. fixed income securities 56% • Foreign fixed income securities 24% • U.S. stocks 12% • Foreign stocks 8%The Fund’s indirect fixed income holdings are a diversified mix of short-, intermediate-, and long-term U.S. government, U.S. agency, and investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds; mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities; and government, agency, corporate, and securitized investment-grade foreign bonds issued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (but hedged by the advisor to minimize foreign currency exposure).The Fund’s indirect stock holdings are a diversified mix of U.S. and foreign large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks. • Investing in Foreign Markets. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the Underlying Funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the Underlying Funds’ investments in such country or region. As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund and the Underlying Funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods. • Investing in Bond Markets. Certain Underlying Funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an Underlying Fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings. • Interest Rate Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an Underlying Fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds. • Income Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, the Underlying Fund’s and/or an Underlying Fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds. • Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an Underlying Fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings. • Bond Liquidity Risk. If an Underlying Fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. • Call Risk. Certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an Underlying Fund would result in the Underlying Fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the Underlying Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an Underlying Fund’s turnover rate. • Prepayment Risk. Certain bonds held by the Underlying Funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an Underlying Fund would result in the Underlying Fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the Underlying Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the Underlying Fund’s turnover rate. • Extension Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an Underlying Fund’s investments. • Investing in Equity Markets. Certain Underlying Funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these Underlying Funds. • Market Capitalization (Market Cap). Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market. • Currency Risk. Certain Underlying Funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an Underlying Fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an Underlying Fund’s holdings. • Currency Hedging. Certain Underlying Funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these Underlying Funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an Underlying Fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the Underlying Fund could be subject to additional loss. • Underlying Funds Risk. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Underlying Funds. This means that the Fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those Underlying Funds, including the risk that the Underlying Funds will not meet their investment objectives. • Allocation to Underlying Funds. The advisor’s selection of Underlying Funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the Fund’s assets to a relatively few number of Underlying Funds, may cause the Fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one Underlying Fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Annual Total Returns The following bar chart and table show the Fund’s historical performance and are intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund has varied from one calendar year to another over the periods shown.

In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the Underlying Funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the Underlying Funds’ investments in such country or region. As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund and the Underlying Funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods. • Investing in Equity Markets. Certain Underlying Funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these Underlying Funds. • Market Capitalization (Market Cap). Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market. • Investing in Bond Markets. Certain Underlying Funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an Underlying Fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings. • Interest Rate Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an Underlying Fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds. • Income Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, the Underlying Fund’s and/or an Underlying Fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds. • Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an Underlying Fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings. • Bond Liquidity Risk. If an Underlying Fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. • Call Risk. Certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an Underlying Fund would result in the Underlying Fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the Underlying Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an Underlying Fund’s turnover rate. • Prepayment Risk. Certain bonds held by the Underlying Funds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by an Underlying Fund would result in the Underlying Fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the Underlying Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the Underlying Fund’s turnover rate. • Extension Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an Underlying Fund’s investments. • Currency Risk. Certain Underlying Funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an Underlying Fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an Underlying Fund’s holdings. • Currency Hedging. Certain Underlying Funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these Underlying Funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an Underlying Fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the Underlying Fund could be subject to additional loss. • Underlying Funds Risk. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Underlying Funds. This means that the Fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those Underlying Funds, including the risk that the Underlying Funds will not meet their investment objectives. • Allocation to Underlying Funds. The advisor’s selection of Underlying Funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the Fund’s assets to a relatively few number of Underlying Funds, may cause the Fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one Underlying Fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Annual Total Returns The following bar chart and table show the Fund’s historical performance and are intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund.

Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth Fund Investment Objective Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation and some current income. Fees and Expenses The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and example below.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Underlying Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. 10 32 56 128 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as purchase fees, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 5% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.05 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund invests in a mix of Vanguard mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”) according to an asset allocation strategy that reflects an allocation of approximately 80% of the Fund’s assets to common stocks and 20% to fixed income securities. The targeted percentage of the Fund’s assets allocated to the underlying asset classes is:• U.S. stocks 48% • Foreign stocks 32% • U.S. fixed income securities 14% • Foreign fixed income securities 6% The Fund’s indirect stock holdings are a diversified mix of U.S. and foreign large-, mid-, and small capitalization stocks.The Fund’s indirect fixed income holdings are a diversified mix of short-, intermediate-, and long-term U.S. government, U.S. agency, and investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds; mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities; and government, agency, corporate, and securitized investment-grade foreign bonds issued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (but hedged by the advisor to minimize foreign currency exposure). • Investing in Foreign Markets. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities.

As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund and the Underlying Funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets.

Fund Summary Investment Objective Vanguard STAR Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income. Fees and Expenses The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and example below. Shareholder Fees (Fees paid directly from your investment) 0 0 0 0 25 Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0000 0 0.0000 0.0029 0.0029 Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. 30 93 163 368 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as purchase fees, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 56% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.56 Principal Investment Strategies As a fund of funds, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of other Vanguard mutual funds (each, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) rather than in individual securities. The Fund follows a balanced investment approach, indirectly investing in a mix of stocks and bonds through its investments in the Underlying Funds. The Fund typically invests 60-70% of its assets in common stocks through actively-managed underlying stock funds and 30-40% of its assets in bonds through an actively-managed underlying bond fund.The Fund’s underlying stock holdings emphasize large-capitalization stocks of domestic companies and, to a lesser extent, a diversified group of stocks in companies located outside the United States.The Fund’s underlying bond holdings have various maturities, yields, and credit qualities, and include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities, bonds of non-U.S. issuers (including emerging market countries), and asset-backed, mortgage-backed (government and commercial), and mortgage-related securities. The Fund’s underlying bond holdings typically have maturities of 90 days or more at the time of their issuance and their dollar-weighted average maturity will normally range between 4 and 12 years but may be longer or shorter under certain market conditions. The credit quality of most of the Fund’s underlying bond holdings is expected to be investment-grade; however, the underlying bond holdings may include bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities or “junk” bonds. The Fund’s underlying bond holdings may include bonds of non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market countries.The Underlying Funds may invest in derivatives such as foreign currency exchange forward contracts, fixed income futures contracts, fixed income options (including options on swaps), currency swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, or other derivatives. As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund and the Underlying Funds invest can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods. • Investing in Equity Markets. Certain Underlying Funds invest in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to these Underlying Funds. • Market Capitalization (Market Cap). Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market. • Investing in Bond Markets. Certain Underlying Funds invest in bonds. As a result, these Underlying Funds may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which an Underlying Fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it invests and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings. • Interest Rate Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in an Underlying Fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds. • Income Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, the Fund’s and/or an Underlying Fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds. • Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to an Underlying Fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings. • Bond Liquidity Risk. If an Underlying Fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. • Call Risk. Certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by an Underlying Fund would result in the Underlying Fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the Underlying Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase an Underlying Fund’s turnover rate. • Prepayment Risk. Certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date).

Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the Underlying Fund’s turnover rate. • Extension Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by an Underlying Fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in an Underlying Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of an Underlying Fund’s investments. • High-Yield Securities. Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the Fund. • Active Management. The Underlying Funds are actively managed. The Underlying Funds' advisors’ security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the Fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective. • Investing in Derivatives. Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose an Underlying Fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing an Underlying Fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time an Underlying Fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require an Underlying Fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, an Underlying Fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for an Underlying Fund’s derivatives positions. The Underlying Funds may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to an Underlying Fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to an Underlying Fund. Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to an Underlying Fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of an Underlying Fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error. • Investing in Foreign Markets. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the Underlying Funds invest a large portion of their assets in securities of companies located primarily in one country or region, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of the Underlying Fund’s investments in such country or region. • Investing in Emerging Markets. Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the Fund’s investments and/or impact the Fund’s performance. • Currency Risk. Certain Underlying Funds are subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to an Underlying Fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of an Underlying Fund’s holdings. • Currency Hedging. Certain Underlying Funds may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, these Underlying Funds may not be able to capture gains that they could otherwise realize if they did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject an Underlying Fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the Underlying Fund could be subject to additional loss. • Underlying Funds Risk. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Underlying Funds. This means that the Fund is exposed to all of the risks associated with the investment strategies and policies of those Underlying Funds, including the risk that the Underlying Funds will not meet their investment objectives. • Allocation to Underlying Funds. The advisor’s selection of Underlying Funds, and the allocation of a high percentage of the Fund’s assets to a relatively few number of Underlying Funds, may cause the Fund to be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of any one Underlying Fund or to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Annual Total Returns The following bar chart and table show the Fund’s historical performance and are intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund has varied from one calendar year to another over the periods shown. The table shows how the average annual total returns of the Fund compare with those of a broad-based securities market index and one or more additional indexes with similar investment characteristics as the Fund. The STAR Composite Index is a custom blended index developed by Vanguard weighted 43.75% MSCI U.S. Broad Market Index, 37.5% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index (U.S. Universal), and 18.75% MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. MSCI international benchmark returns are adjusted for withholding taxes. The Fund is using a comparative benchmark that is different from the one used for the immediately preceding fiscal period. The fixed income portion of the STAR Composite Index has been changed from 25% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 12.5% Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Credit Bond Index to 37.5% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index. The Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index is the benchmark index used by Vanguard STAR Core-Plus Fund, which is the Fund’s sole underlying fixed income fund.

Fund Summary Investment Objective Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of stocks issued by companies located in developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. Fees and Expenses The following tables describe the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell Investor Shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and example below. Shareholder Fees (Fees paid directly from your investment) 0 0 0 0 25 Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0016 0 0.0001 0.0017 Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. 17 55 96 217 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.04 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index (the “Target Index”), a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance of companies located in developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks that make up the Target Index. The Fund uses the replication method of indexing, meaning that the Fund generally holds the same stocks as those in its Target Index and in approximately the same proportions. As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods. • Investing in Foreign Markets. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the Fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region. • Investing in Emerging Markets. Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the Fund’s investments and/or impact the Fund’s performance. • Currency Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the Fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund’s holdings. • Investments Economically Tied to China. The risks described under Investing in Foreign Markets, Investing in Emerging Markets, and Currency Risk apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the Fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The Fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the Fund. For example, the Fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the Fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the Fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the Fund may incur losses. Additionally, the Fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the Fund’s performance. • Investing in Equity Markets. The Fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the Fund. • Market Capitalization (Market Cap). Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market. • Index Investing. The Fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the Fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target Index regardless of how the Target Index is performing, the Fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the Fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target Index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the Fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target Index. The performance of the Fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target Index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The Fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target Index made by the Index Provider or by errors made by the Index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the Index Provider will generally be borne by the Fund and, as a result, the Fund’s shareholders. • Concentration Risk. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target Index, the Fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target Index becomes concentrated and the Fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.04 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index (the “Target Index”), a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance of companies located in developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks that make up the Target Index. The Fund uses the replication method of indexing, meaning that the Fund generally holds the same stocks as those in its Target Index and in approximately the same proportions. As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods. • Investing in Foreign Markets. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the Fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region. • Investing in Emerging Markets. Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the Fund’s investments and/or impact the Fund’s performance. • Currency Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the Fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund’s holdings. • Investments Economically Tied to China. The risks described under Investing in Foreign Markets, Investing in Emerging Markets, and Currency Risk apply to, and may be heightened with respect to, the Fund’s investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. The Fund also is subject to unique risks due to the considerable degrees of social and humanitarian, legal, regulatory, political, and economic uncertainty associated with investments in companies or issuers economically tied to China. All of these factors, among others, could have negative impacts on the Fund. For example, the Fund may not be able to access its desired amount of shares of companies incorporated in China that trade on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (A-shares) and/or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (H-shares), which may cause the Fund to miss out on investment opportunities. Investments economically tied to China may be (or become in the future) restricted or sanctioned by the U.S. government, which could cause these securities to decline in value or become less liquid. If the Fund’s holdings become impacted by restrictions or sanctions, the Fund may incur losses. Additionally, the Fund may gain exposure to certain companies in China through legal structures known as variable interest entities (VIEs), which provide exposure to Chinese companies through contractual arrangements instead of equity ownership. Investing through a VIE does not offer the same level of investor protection as direct ownership and is subject to risks including breach of the contractual arrangements, difficulty in enforcing the contractual arrangements outside of the United States, and intervention by the U.S. government. These risks could significantly affect a VIE’s market value, which in turn could impact the Fund’s performance. • Investing in Equity Markets. The Fund invests in the equity markets. Equity markets have historically been cyclical, having periods of time when stock values rise and fall. Market volatility can lead to significant fluctuations in stock values, resulting in potential losses to the Fund. • Market Capitalization (Market Cap). Companies are generally classified into three types of market cap depending on their size: small-, mid-, and large-cap. Companies can be further classified into micro- or mega-cap. Different factors can affect each market cap uniquely, and historically small- and mid-cap stocks have typically been more volatile due to the effects of changing economic conditions. Large companies may not reach the same levels of growth or performance as smaller companies, and they may be slower to react to competitive challenges. The performance of funds that invest in a subset of market caps could diverge from the performance of a fund that is focused on a broader representation of the stock market. • Index Investing. The Fund is subject to risks associated with index investing. Because the Fund generally seeks to track the performance of the Target Index regardless of how the Target Index is performing, the Fund’s performance may be lower than it would be if it were actively managed. Although the Fund seeks to hold substantially all of the securities included in the Target Index, it may be unable to do so. In addition, the Fund could be prevented from holding one or more securities in the same proportion as in the Target Index. The performance of the Fund’s investments, in the aggregate, may not match the investment performance of the Target Index. This risk, known as tracking error risk, may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or under other unusual market conditions. The Fund also could be negatively impacted by changes to the Target Index made by the Index Provider or by errors made by the Index Provider. Any gains, losses, or costs associated with or resulting from an error made by the Index Provider will generally be borne by the Fund and, as a result, the Fund’s shareholders. • Concentration Risk. Except as may be necessary to approximate the composition of its Target Index, the Fund will not concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry or group of industries. If the Target Index becomes concentrated and the Fund needs to concentrate in the same industry or group of industries, its performance could be negatively impacted by the industry or industries in which it is concentrated. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Vanguard ETF Shares (“ETF Shares”) are an exchanged-traded class of shares issued by certain Vanguard funds that represent an interest in the portfolio of securities held by the issuing fund. The Fund’s ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq and individual investors may only buy and sell them on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of an ETF Share typically will approximate its net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price of an ETF Share and its NAV differ significantly. Disruptions to creation and redemption transactions, the existence of significant market volatility, or potential lack of an active trading market for ETF Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in ETF Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) the Fund’s NAV or the intraday value of the Fund’s holdings. Thus, you may pay more or less than NAV when you buy ETF Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive more or less than NAV when you sell those shares. • Authorized Participants. Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. The Fund’s Authorized Participants are not obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that the Fund’s Authorized Participants are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption transactions with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participants step forward to engage in creation or redemption transactions with the Fund, the Fund’s ETF Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. 20 64 113 255 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal period from March 12, 2025, to October 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 327% of the average value of its portfolio. 3.27 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund employs an active management approach, investing in bonds of various maturities, yields, and qualities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds. For purposes of the 80% policy, bonds include fixed income securities such as corporate bonds; U.S. Treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities; obligations issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or their agencies, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions; and asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and mortgage-related securities.In general, the Fund purchases bonds with maturities of 90 days or more at the time of their issuance. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity will normally range between 4 and 12 years but may be longer or shorter under certain market conditions. These conditions could include periods of market stress, periods when the structure of the market has changed significantly, or periods when prepayment of certain securities held by the Fund (such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, or mortgage-related securities) varies from what is expected under normal market conditions.The Fund may purchase bonds of any quality, including high- and medium-quality bonds, which are considered to be investment-grade by Moody’s Ratings or another independent rating agency (or, if unrated, are considered to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s advisor). The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its assets in bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities or “junk” bonds.The Fund may invest in bonds of non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market countries. Although the Fund seeks to have a majority of its assets denominated in or hedged back to the U.S. dollar, it also may invest in foreign currency bonds on an unhedged basis. In an effort to manage the currency risk associated with investing in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Fund may seek to hedge some or all of its foreign currency exposure. To the extent that the Fund hedges its foreign currency exposure, it does so primarily through the use of foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which are a type of derivative.In addition to foreign currency exchange forward contracts, the Fund may invest in derivatives such as fixed income futures contracts, fixed income options (including options on swaps), currency swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, or other derivatives. The Fund also may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) transactions or take short positions in certain derivatives or in TBA mortgage-backed securities. As with any investment, an investment in the Fund could lose money over any time period. • General Market Risk. The markets in which the Fund invests can be affected by a variety of factors. These factors, which can be real or perceived, may include economic, market, political, and regulatory conditions and developments as well as local, regional, or global events such as wars, military conflicts, natural disasters, and public health issues. In addition, investor sentiment and expectations regarding these factors can also impact the markets. Different parts of the market, including different industries and sectors as well as different types of securities, may react differently to factors that affect the market. These factors can contribute to market uncertainty, market volatility, and fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s investments, thereby resulting in potential losses to the Fund over short or long periods. • Investing in Foreign Markets. Foreign markets can perform differently than U.S. markets. World events could adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of securities of foreign companies or foreign issuers, potentially in ways that differ from impacts to U.S. companies or issuers. Further, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region could adversely impact a different country or region. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with investments in a fund that invests in foreign securities may be different than a fund that invests in domestic securities. To the extent that the Fund invests a large portion of its assets in securities of issuers located primarily in one country or region, the Fund’s performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of its investments in such country or region.  • Investing in Emerging Markets. Investments in emerging markets are subject to higher degrees of risk and volatility than investments in developed markets. Compared with developed markets, emerging markets can have greater custodial and operational risks; less developed legal, tax, regulatory, financial reporting, accounting, and recordkeeping systems; and greater political, social, and economic instability than developed markets. In addition, emerging markets generally have less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity and more volatile currency exchange rates. Each of these risks can cause losses to the Fund’s investments and/or impact the Fund’s performance. • Currency Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that foreign currency will perform differently than U.S. dollars and increase the potential loss to the Fund. Currency exchange rates may be volatile, move rapidly, and change as a result of changes in interest rates, inflation rates, government surpluses or deficits, and monetary policy or currency controls imposed by local governments or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund. Changes in currency exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund’s holdings. • Currency Hedging. The Fund may attempt to offset currency risk through a hedging strategy; however, by doing so, the Fund may not be able to capture gains that it could otherwise realize if it did not have a hedging strategy. It generally is not possible to perfectly hedge the risk posed by foreign currency exposure. Hedging transactions can increase transaction costs and subject the Fund to the risk that a counterparty is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation, in which case the Fund could be subject to additional loss. • Investing in Bond Markets. The Fund may be impacted by the general condition of the bond markets and by factors that affect bonds and bond issuers. For example, as a general rule, bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices tend to go up. Bond income also is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest rates can rise or fall for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, central bank monetary policy, inflationary or deflationary pressures, and changes in general market and economic conditions. Changing interest rates, including, but not limited to, rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the overall market and may expose the bond markets in particular to heightened volatility and potential illiquidity. The degree to which the Fund is impacted by certain bond market risks may vary based on factors disclosed in its principal investment strategies, such as the types of bonds in which it and the overall credit quality, average maturity, and/or average duration of its bond holdings. • Interest Rate Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, bond prices overall may decline, which could result in a decline in the Fund’s value. The prices of longer-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term bonds. • Income Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, the Fund’s income may decline. The income paid by shorter-term bonds is subject to a higher degree of fluctuation than the income paid by longer-term bonds. • Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the chance that an issuer will default (fail to meet its credit obligations) or fail to make payments in a timely manner, which could result in a loss to the Fund. In addition, negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments can cause the price of a security to decline. While all debt securities are subject to credit risk to some extent, those with higher credit quality ratings generally pose less credit risk than those with lower credit quality ratings. • Bond Liquidity Risk. If the Fund is unable to sell a security at an advantageous time or price, its returns may be reduced. There may be limited trading in the secondary market for certain debt securities, which could make them more difficult to value or sell. • Call Risk. Certain bonds held by the Fund may be callable. The issuer of a callable bond has the right to “call” (redeem) the bond before its maturity date. Calls on bonds held by the Fund would result in the Fund losing any price appreciation above the bond’s call price. In addition, because bond calls occur more frequently during periods of falling interest rates, the Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds of any called bonds at a lower interest rate than that of the called bonds, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Fund’s investments. Frequent bond calls and subsequent reinvestments of the proceeds also would increase the Fund’s turnover rate. • Prepayment Risk. Certain bonds are subject to risks associated with prepayment. Prepayment risk for callable bonds is described under Call Risk. With respect to mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and similar debt securities, prepayment typically refers to borrowers repaying their debt early (e.g., before the maturity date). Prepayment of bonds held by the Fund would result in the Fund losing any price appreciation above the amount repaid (or the bond’s call price, in the case of callable bonds). In addition, because prepayments occur more frequently in low interest rate environments, the Fund likely would be forced to reinvest the proceeds from any prepayments at a lower interest rate than when the prepaid bonds were purchased, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Fund’s investments. Frequent prepayments and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds also would increase the Fund’s turnover rate. • Extension Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, certain bonds held by the Fund may be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated. As a result, the value of the bonds may fall, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income and a potential loss in the value of the Fund’s investments. • High-Yield Securities. Bonds rated below investment-grade, also referred to as high-yield securities, are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability, or perceptions of the issuer’s ability, to make timely principal and interest payments. They are more volatile, less liquid, and involve greater risk of default than investment-grade securities. Investing in high-yield securities could result in a loss of income and/or principal for the Fund. • TBA Mortgage-Backed Securities. A TBA transaction represents an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics for a fixed unit price at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. TBA transactions are subject to the risk that the values of the mortgage-backed securities that the Fund has agreed to purchase will decline prior to the settlement date or that the counterparty will not deliver the securities as promised. • Active Management. The Fund is actively managed. The advisor’s security selection and/or strategy execution could cause the Fund to underperform relevant securities markets or other funds with a similar investment objective. • Management of Certain Similar Funds. The name, investment objective, principal investment strategies, and risks of the Fund are similar to another separate fund managed by the Fund’s portfolio managers. However, the investment results of the Fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the Fund will be comparable to, that other fund. • Investing in Derivatives. Investing in derivatives may present risks different from, and/or greater than, those associated with investing directly in stocks, bonds, or other types of investments. Derivatives could expose the Fund to increased volatility and/or significant loss. Certain derivatives have an inherent leverage component, providing the Fund exposure to a sizable position in an underlying asset with a relatively small upfront investment at the time the Fund enters into the derivatives position. For these derivatives, an adverse change in the value or price of the underlying asset could result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Some derivatives require the Fund to enter into a contract with a counterparty. If the counterparty is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, the Fund may experience a loss. A liquid market may not always exist for the Fund’s derivatives positions. The Fund may be unable to sell or otherwise exit its derivatives position at desired times or prices, which could also result in a loss to the Fund. Some derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, can be complex and often are valued subjectively. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Improper valuations can result in increased cash payment requirements to counterparties or a loss of value to the Fund. Derivatives may not perform as intended, which may result in losses to the Fund. For example, derivatives used for hedging or as a substitute for a portfolio instrument may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions. The use of derivatives is also subject to legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty, and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error. • Short Selling. The Fund may lose money in connection with its short sales of certain securities and/or derivatives. In a short sale, the Fund sells a security that it does not own and “borrows” the security from a third-party in order to settle the transaction with the original buyer. The Fund later repurchases the security on the open market and returns it to the third party. The Fund can profit from a short sale if the price of the borrowed security declines before the Fund repurchases it. However, there is no guarantee that the price of the borrowed security will decline. In fact, the security’s price may rise, which would increase the cost to the Fund to repurchase the security and ultimately result in a loss to the Fund. Because there is no upward limit on how high the price of a borrowed security could rise, the Fund’s potential for loss in connection with a short sale is theoretically unlimited. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
