Vanguard VIF Total Bond Market Index Portfolio
Investment Strategy
The Portfolio employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted index. This index measures the performance of a wide spectrum of public, investment-grade, taxable, fixed income securities in the United States - including government, corporate, and international dollar-denominated bonds, as well as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities - all with maturities of more than 1 year. The Portfolio invests by sampling the Index, and under normal circumstances at least 80% of the Portfolio's assets will be invested in bonds held in the Index.Investment Expenses, Sales Charges, and Fees

Impact of Expenses and Fees
The table below assumes the investor invests $10,000 on the first day of year one and that the original investment earns a continuous 5% return. In addition, it assumes the
investor reinvests all earnings, and makes no additional contributions. The 5% rate of return is hypothetical and used only to illustrate the respective impacts of different fee
amounts on each investment. It is not intended to predict future investment returns.
Calculations are done by the 403bCompare site in an effort to provide a standardized comparison of the impact of all fees associated with an investment option. This includes all
required 403(b) product-level fees, and investment-level fees. For more information on fees or expenses associated with a 403(b) product or investment option, please refer
