A note about risk

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money invested. Target-date investments are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the investment name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor would retire and leave the workforce. The investment will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. A target-date investment is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.

Questions can be directed to Vanguard at 855-402-2646 from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
