Investment Objective

The Portfolio seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted bond index with a short-term dollar-weighted average maturity.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolio invests in one Vanguard® bond index fund:

Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund

The Portfolio invests in Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund, which employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index (the “Target Index”), includes all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities between 1 and 5 years and are publicly issued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the bonds that make up the Target Index.

The Fund invests by sampling the Target Index, meaning that it holds a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity consistent with that of the Target Index. As of December 31, 2025, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Target Index was 2.82 years.

Investment Risks

The Portfolio is subject to the risks of the underlying fund, which includes income risk, interest rate risk, call risk, credit risk, index-related risks, investing in bond markets risk, index sampling risk, and liquidity risk.
