Description

The Vanguard LifeStrategy 100% Equity Fund A Inc is an investment fund operating as an Open Ended Investment Company (OEIC) that aims to provide returns through capital appreciation and income from its holdings over the long term, typically five years or more. The fund's primary operation involves investing at least 90% of its assets into a diversified portfolio of passive funds, known as Associated Schemes, which are designed to track various market indices. These underlying passive funds predominantly offer exposure to shares of companies globally, with approximately 25% allocated to UK-listed companies. The fund may also invest a smaller portion, up to 10%, directly in transferable securities, money market instruments, and deposits. While actively managed, its investment strategy focuses on maintaining a strategic asset allocation determined by Vanguard research rather than seeking to outperform it. The fund targets investors seeking significant long-term growth potential through a portfolio composed almost entirely of equities, positioning it as a higher-risk option within a range of diversified funds.
