TARGET
RETIREMENT INCOME ACCOUNT
Following is
a summary of information about the Target Retirement Income
Account. Investors are advised to learn key data about an
investment prior to making any investment decision.
Objective
The objective of this account is to seek current income
and capital appreciation. It is invested solely in the Vanguard®
Target Retirement Income Fund.
Investor Profile
The Target Retirement Income Account may be suitable for
investors who are approaching or are in retirement, and
seeking a high level of income and a simple way to achieve
a diversified holding of stocks and fixed-income securities.
Individuals must be willing and able to accept low to moderate
fluctuations in unit price and have an intermediate investment
horizon (more than three years).
Investment Strategy
Vanguard Target Retirement Income Fund invests in other
Vanguard mutual funds using an asset allocation strategy
designed for investors currently in retirement. The Vanguard
Target Retirement Income Fund is a “fund of funds,”
a term used to describe a mutual fund that pursues its objective
by investing in other mutual funds, rather than in individual
stocks and bonds.
Investment Considerations
The Target Retirement Income Account is subject to several
stock and bond market risks, any of which could cause an
investor to lose money. However, given approximately 80
percent of assets are in the less volatile asset classes
of bonds and money market instruments, the fund’s
overall risk level should be relatively low.
