Description

As part of Vanguard’s series of tax-managed investments, this fund provides exposure to the mid- and large-capitalization segments of the U.S. stock market with about 50% of assets, while the balance of assets are invested in federally tax-exempt municipal bonds. The stock component’s unique index-oriented approach attempts to track its benchmark, while minimizing taxable dividend income. Investors in higher tax brackets who are seeking some growth of principal and who are able to tolerate the risks that come from the volatility of the stock and bond markets may wish to consider this fund.Please note: It is possible that the fund will not meet its objective of being tax-efficient.
