The yield for a money market fund more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than its total return does.

For non-Vanguard funds, yield is defined as a fund's annualized current rate of investment income, calculated with a Securities and Exchange Commission formula that includes the fund's net income (based on the yield to maturity of each bond it holds), the average number of outstanding fund shares during the 30-day period reported by Morningstar, and the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period. The data is provided by Morningstar and is only as current as the information supplied to Morningstar by third parties.

Some funds may charge purchase, redemption, and/or 12b-1 fees. All transactions are subject to any applicable terms and conditions in a Fund's prospectus, including, but not limited to, any applicable fees or other frequent trading and market-timing policies and procedures imposed by the Fund. All transactions are also subject to Vanguard Brokerage Services' Commission and Fee Schedules, policies, and procedures.

Individual fund families may impose additional minimum purchase requirements, fees, or charges. NTF, TF, and load funds are subject to the greater of the FundAccess minimum investment requirements or those identified in the fund's prospectus. Vanguard Brokerage Services may negotiate fund minimum investment requirements that are greater than or less than the program standards noted above. For complete information, read the prospectus carefully before investing. The offering conditions of the various funds included in the FundAccess program are subject to change at any time, including, but not limited to, fee classification (load, TF, or NTF) and transfer eligibility.

Transaction-fee (TF) and no-transaction-fee (NTF) funds: A transaction fee is a charge assessed by an intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank, for assisting in the sale (redemption) or purchase of a security. NTF funds may carry a redemption fee. See Vanguard Brokerage Services commission and fee schedules for more information. A short-term redemption fees may also be charged by the outside fund family.

Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are subject to risk, including possible loss of principal.

There may be other material differences between products that must be considered prior to investing.

You must buy and sell Vanguard ETF Shares through Vanguard Brokerage Services (we offer them commission-free online) or through another broker (who may charge commissions). See the Vanguard Brokerage Services Commission and Fee Schedules for limits. Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable directly with the issuing Fund other than in very large aggregations worth millions of dollars. ETFs are subject to market volatility. When buying or selling an ETF, you will pay or receive the current market price, which may be more or less than net asset value.
