Vanguard VIF Balanced Portfolio
Investment Strategy
The Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and reasonable current income by investing 60%-70% of its assets in dividend-paying and, to a lesser extent, non-dividend-paying common stocks of established large companies. The advisor seeks durable businesses that appear to be undervalued but have prospects for improvement. These stocks are commonly referred to as value stocks. The remaining 30%-40% of the Portfolio's assets are invested mainly in fixed income securities the adviser believes will generate a moderate level of current income. These securities include investment-grade corporate bonds, with some exposure to U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds, and mortgaged-backed securities.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
