Vanguard Short-Term Investment Grade
Historical Performance
Objective And Strategy
ObjectiveCurrent income while maintaining limited price volatility.
Strategy
The Portfolio invests in a variety of high-quality and, to a lesser extent, medium-quality fixed income securities, at least 80% of which will be short- and intermediate-term investment-grade securities. High quality fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of A3 or better by Moody's Investors Services, Inc., or by another independent rating agency; medium-quality fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3 by Moody's or another independent rating agency. (Investment-grade fixed income securities are those rated the equivalent of Baa3 and above by Moody's.) The Portfolio is expected to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 1 to 4 years.
Low Cost Fund
Principle Risks
* This portfolio invests (or may invest) in securities of companies with micro-, small-, or mid-capitalization. Any investment in micro-, small-, or mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than that customarily associated with investments in larger, more established companies because of the greater business risks of smaller size, limited markets and financial resources, narrower product lines, and frequent lack of management depth. As such, micro- or small-cap companies may be more subject to erratic and abrupt market movements than securities of larger, more established companies.
