We strive for alpha through security selection and small, top-down sector and duration bets. High credit quality. Lower costs create less drag on returns, so we don t need to take big risks relative to benchmarks. Tight duration guardrails. We make only modest tilts in the duration of our funds.
3 Our core advantage A global and highly credentialed team Our fixed income group includes more than 140 investment professionals in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This global presence lets us tap local insights and apply a bottom-up perspective. More than one-third of our investment professionals are CFA charterholders and more than half hold advanced degrees. Our senior leaders average more than 20 years of investing experience, and all have been at Vanguard at least 15 years. Of the investment professionals in our fixed income group, more than half are focused primarily on the management of actively managed taxable fixed income assets. A closer look at our active taxable bond team Title Senior strategy group (the Hub) Average Vanguard tenure Average investment experience Portfolio managers Traders Credit research analysts Credit research associates Source: Vanguard. Investment professionals In addition, the active taxable team periodically draws on the expertise of our active, index, and municipal bond professionals. These include roughly 25 portfolio managers and traders who cover our taxable index mandates, and about 40 portfolio managers, traders, and credit research analysts and associates on our municipal bond team. Extensive investment strategy and risk management support Our active taxable bond team additionally leverages the insights and expertise of two external groups: Vanguard Investment Strategy Group and Vanguard Risk Management Group. Vanguard Investment Strategy Group This group consists of approximately 60 researchers and economists in four global sites who provide research and insight into a variety macroeconomic and policy issues. Our senior strategy group and specialist teams use these insights extensively in the day-to-day management of our fixed income funds. Vanguard Risk Management Group Composed of more than 50 risk professionals, including quantitative researchers, data analysts, and portfolio analysts, the Vanguard Risk Management Group partners with Vanguard Fixed Income Group to: Evaluate, measure, and control investment risk. Proactively manage operational risks, to ensure that our people, processes, and technology continue to function as intended, such as by effectively controlling counterparty risk, derivatives, and other exposures. Perform quantitative research in support of the portfolio management process. Conduct detailed performance attribution, produce reports to assess a fund s liquidity, and create tools that help portfolio managers more fully understand risk factors present in the funds. 1
4 Our specialized, collaborative process The hub-and-satellite framework supports collaborative, consistent, and team-based management. This approach aims to achieve superior results by combining satellite specializations with multiple, diversified sources of alpha on a risk-controlled basis. The hub, composed of our senior leaders, provides a common operating framework through strategic positioning. It focuses on the tactical outlook and sets investment policies for actively managed fixed income portfolios, including the macroeconomic perspective, duration and yield-curve positioning, credit-quality allocation, and broad sector-allocation weights versus the funds benchmarks. The satellite teams are composed of portfolio managers, credit and risk management, and quantitative analysts, and traders. These teams, using parameters and risk budgets set by the hub, construct assigned portfolios in a bottom-up manner, focusing on issuer and security selection and subsector allocations. Issuer and security selection is achieved through a thorough collaboration between the hub and satellite groups. Analysts, working at the subsector level, conduct valuation comparisons in their assigned sectors and perform fundamental research on issuers and securities. Then they consult with the trading desk, applying additional inputs, and provide recommendations to satellite group leaders. Finally, the resulting mandates are implemented by the portfolio manager and trader teams. agency/volatility MBS/ Treasury/TIPS RATES TEAM SENIOR STRATEGY GROUP Structured products Investment-grade corporate CREDIT TEAM Emerging markets noncorporate Hub: Senior strategy group Establishes investment policy and strategic outlook.

6 Rates and credit teams Our rates and credit teams, which are directed by global leaders who are also members of the senior strategy group, are responsible for allocating the risk budget across the various rate and credit sectors of the market. The rates team includes the heads of the rates specialist teams, such as Treasuries, TIPS, agencies, and agency mortgage-backed securities. They re responsible for allocating the risk budgets within the different rate sectors. They also develop the overall interest-rate risk budget and outlook (e.g., duration and yield-curve positioning) and make recommendations to the senior strategy group based on the research of its specialists. The team determines its outlook by examining three primary factors: the market, the economy, and economic policy. The credit team includes the leaders of the credit specialist, investment grade corporate, emerging markets, and structured products teams. Taking into consideration valuations, fundamentals, and technical factors, the credit team is responsible for relative value across the credit sectors and develops the outlook for the global credit market. Satellites: Our specialist teams Our specialist teams, composed of portfolio managers, traders, credit research analysts, and quantitative analysts, play a critical role in executing the top-down positioning and risk budgeting process established by the senior strategy group. They add value through credit quality allocations, subsector allocations, security selection, and tactical trading. Credit research and trading Our stable, tenured team, which includes more than 25 taxable credit analysts and associates, identifies potential opportunities or problems among any bonds or issuers of bonds that we own or are considering owning. Before selecting securities for our portfolios, these analysts perform an objective, thorough, and independent assessment of an issuer s creditworthiness and assign each an internal credit rating. This rating is determined through security-specific analysis within each assigned sector. For example, our corporate credit analysts review the issuer s projected, current, and historical financial conditions, and examine the overall industry in which the company operates. In contrast, our emerging markets and sovereign analysts examine monetary and fiscal policies and macroeconomic measures such as GDP and inflation. The different skills and knowledge required to effectively research these distinct sectors and markets is crucial and contributes significantly to the specialization and experience of our fixed income team.

7 Vanguard s liquidity management Vanguard conducts an ongoing assessment of liquidity risk based on a thorough review of various factors. This yields a dashboard of information that allows our portfolio managers to effectively gauge market liquidity as they put new cash to work or meet any net redemptions. Our liquidity assessment examines factors such as: Portfolio construction We calculate what portion of the portfolio is likely to remain highly liquid even in times of market stress. Liquidity of the underlying market We examine various metrics including market trading volumes, transaction costs, and the quality and breadth of diversification in the market. We also rely on qualitative information, such as the market structure, derivatives and financing, and securities lending markets. Historical levels of peak redemptions We review historical cash-flow data for each Vanguard fund and comparable non-vanguard funds to evaluate redemption activity during times of significant market stress. We consider the portfolio s construction, the liquidity in the underlying market, and the composition of the investor base to determine the potential impact of worst-case scenarios on the funds. Composition of the investor base Most Vanguard funds have a well-diversified shareholder base that includes investors of varying ages and with varying investment objectives. We pay special attention to situations where a large portion of a fund may be held by a small number of large investors, such as with a new fund, and manage its liquidity risk appropriately. Additional policies Our funds benefit from additional policies and resources designed to help us meet requests for redemptions and maintain the funds investment and liquidity profiles in all market environments. These include: frequenttrading policies, redemption fees, in-kind redemptions, and the use of interfund lending and lines of credit to meet significant net redemptions in unsettled markets. Active taxable bond funds Our taxable funds keep the majority of their holdings in investment-grade bonds, except Vanguard High-Yield Bond Fund, which has a majority of assets in below-investment grade bonds. Note: All product data is as of August 31, Vanguard Core Bond Fund Vanguard Core Bond Fund can hold Treasuries, government agencies, corporate bonds, structured products, and mortgage-backed securities across the breadth of the yield curve. It may also hold non-benchmark TIPS and have modest exposure to high-yield bonds.

12 Vanguard Financial Advisor Services P.O. Box 2900 Valley Forge, PA Connect with Vanguard > advisors.vanguard.com > For more information about Vanguard funds and Vanguard ETFs, visit our website or call to obtain a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus. Investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information about a fund are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before investing. Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable with the issuing Fund other than in very large aggregations worth millions of dollars. Instead, investors must buy and sell Vanguard ETF Shares in the secondary market and hold those shares in a brokerage account. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk, which is the chance bond prices overall will decline because of rising interest rates, and credit risk, which is the chance a bond issuer will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner or that negative perceptions of the issuer s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. High-yield bonds generally have medium- and lower-range credit quality ratings and are therefore subject to a higher level of credit risk than bonds with higher credit quality ratings.
