The year in the Fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the Fund would retire and leave the work force. The Fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. An investment in the Target Retirement Fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date. Please remember that all investments involve some risk. Be aware that fluctuations in the financial markets and other factors may cause declines in the value of your account. There is no guarantee that any particular asset allocation or mix of funds will meet your investment objectives or provide you with a given level of income. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Bond funds are subject to the risk that an issuer will fail to make payments on time, and that bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates or negative perceptions of an issuer's ability to make payments. Investments in securities issued by non-U.S. companies are subject to risks including country/regional risk and currency risk. Currency hedging risk is the chance that currency hedging transactions may not perfectly offset a security's foreign currency exposures and may eliminate any chance for a security to benefit from favorable fluctuations in relevant currency exchange rates. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Advisory services are provided by Vanguard Advisors, Inc. (VAI), a registered investment advisor. This hangout is for educational purposes only.
