Investment Objectives

The Vanguard Retirement Income ETF Portfolio seeks to provide a combination of consistent income with the possibility of some capital appreciation by investing in equity and fixed income securities.

Investment Strategy

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Sub-advisor will make asset allocation decisions based on the attractiveness of the underlying asset classes and their ability to provide consistent returns. Considerations may include, but are not limited to, economic and market conditions, total return characteristics and risk profiles. The portfolio asset allocation will be reconstituted and rebalanced from time to time. The monthly distribution is reviewed periodically.
