Investment objective & strategy

As of April 29, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and reasonable current income.

Strategy. Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds Balanced Portfolio (the Portfolio) invests 60% to 70% of its assets in dividend-paying and, to a lesser extent, non-dividend-paying common stocks of established large companies. In choosing these stocks, 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% to 40% of the Portfolios assets are invested mainly in fixed income securities that the advisor believes will generate a moderate level of current income. These securities include investment-grade corporate bonds, with some exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds, government agency bonds, and mortgage-backed securities.
