Investment Objective

The portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio invests in two Vanguard® stock index funds. The percentages of the portfolio's assets allocated to each underlying fund are:

Vanguard Institutional Total Stock Market Index Fund (60%)
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (40%)

Through its investment in Vanguard Institutional Total Stock Market Index Fund, the Portfolio indirectly invests in primarily large-capitalization U.S. stocks and, to a lesser extent, mid-, small- and micro-capitalization U.S. stocks. The Fund's target index represents approximately 100% of the investable U.S. stock market. Through its investment in Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, the Portfolio indirectly invests in international stocks.

Investment Risks

Because it invests entirely in stock funds, the Portfolio primarily is subject to stock market risk. The Portfolio also has high levels of country/regional risk, currency risk, and emerging markets risk, and low levels of index sampling risk, investment style risk, and derivatives risk.
