Description

A Vanguard offering from its tax-managed investment series, this fund dedicates roughly 50% of its portfolio to U.S. stocks, focusing on mid- and large-cap companies, with the remaining balance invested in municipal bonds that are free from federal taxes. The equity portion utilizes an index-tracking strategy designed to replicate its benchmark while actively minimizing taxable dividend distributions. It is primarily intended for investors in higher tax brackets who are pursuing some capital appreciation and can tolerate the market fluctuations associated with both stock and bond investments. Please note: The fund's tax-efficiency goal may not always be met.
