A. Security Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard
fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on
the valuation date.

B. Futures Contracts: The fund uses stock and bond futures contracts to a limited extent, with the
objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market and maintaining its target asset allocation.


 

The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between
changes in market values of investments held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the
possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated
clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk,
the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing
brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The
clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires
daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any
securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Fluctuations in the value of the
contracts are recorded as an asset (liability).

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund's investments and derivatives.
These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or
methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable
inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

At January 31, 2021, 100% of the market value of the fund's investments and derivatives was
determined based on Level 1 inputs.
