Changes to Vanguard Target Retirement Funds
Vanguard recently announced they will be making changes to the Vanguard Target Retirement Funds in an effort to increase diversification and potentially reduce risk.
Each Target Retirement Fund invests in several other Vanguard funds, effectively holding thousands of stocks and bonds. Vanguard is taking the following steps to broaden the Target Retirement Funds’ portfolios and reduce their level of risk:
- Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund will be added to the portfolio of each Target Retirement Fund.
- Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund will replace Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund in the Target Retirement 2015, Target Retirement 2010, and Target Retirement Income Funds.
Additionally, the allocations to Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund in the Target Retirement 2010 and Target Retirement Income Funds will be eliminated.
The Changes to the Target Retirement Funds represent a refinement of the funds’ fixed income diversification. Their overall strategic asset allocation and glide path will not change. The addition of hedged international bonds is expected to bring long-term diversification benefits, while an allocation to short-term TIPS aims to provide retirees and pre-retirees with improved inflation protection with less volatility.
For further information, please contact Vanguard at 800.523.8066.
