Investment Objective
The Portfolio seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated investment-grade bonds.
Investment Strategy
The Portfolio invests 100% of its assets in Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund, which employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Float Adjusted RIC Capped Index (USD Hedged), a broad-based measure of the global, investment-grade, fixed-rate debt markets. The index includes government, government agency, corporate, and securitized non-U.S.-investment-grade fixed income investments, all issued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and with maturities of more than one year. The index is market value-weighted and capped to comply with investment company diversification standards of the Code. The index methodology is not designed to satisfy the diversification requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Fund will attempt to hedge its currency exposures.
Investment Risks
The Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk, income risk, credit risk, call risk, country/regional risk, nondiversification risk, currency hedging risk, and index sampling risk.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data cited.
