Description

The Vanguard Target Retirement 2025 Fund Accumulation Shares operates as a target-date mutual fund designed for investors who plan to retire and begin withdrawing funds in or around the year 2025. Its primary objective is to provide capital appreciation and current income while gradually becoming more conservative in its asset allocation over time. The fund achieves this by investing in a diversified mix of underlying Vanguard mutual funds, which typically track various indices, with the allocation automatically shifting from a higher concentration in stocks to a greater emphasis on bonds and other fixed income investments as the target retirement date approaches and passes. This strategy aims to manage investment risk for individuals preparing for retirement.
