“I could use some help with

my investments from someone

I can trust.”

Page 5: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

1 Every day, we hear from investors who have all sorts of financial concerns that don’t haveeasy answers:

• What strategy can I follow that doesn’t involve performance-chasing or market-timing?

• How can I find a mix of investments that will help me reach my goals without takingon more risk than I’m comfortable with?

• How should I reposition my investments as I approach retirement?

• What steps can I take to help ensure that my savings last for a lifetime?

There’s no need to go it alone

In addressing these kinds of questions, you and your family have so much to lose if youmake the wrong decisions—or fail to make any decisions at all. That’s why it’s importantto consider getting professional assistance.

When it comes to financial advice, you likely know what you don’t want. You don’t wanthigh-pressured sales pitches. You don’t want superficial advice. And you don’t want tospend a lot of money.

But you know you could benefit by talking to an expert who is trustworthy andexperienced . . . someone who knows the right questions to ask and listens to youranswers. And you want the advice at a reasonable price.

At Vanguard, you can get just the help you need.

What’s standing between you and financial peace of mind?

Page 6: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

2 You want at least these three things when you seek financial guidance: proven solutions,personal attention, and peace of mind knowing that you can completely trust the adviceyou’re receiving. You can count on us to provide you with all three.

Using a time-tested approach

There’s no lack of “advice” about how you can get in on the next hot trend orinvestment. The noise from the media, salespeople, and friends can be deafening.

But here’s what really works: disciplined, long-term strategies; prudent risk control;diversity of thought; and consistent cost efficiency. And these are what Vanguard excelsin. Every day, people come to us looking for sensible solutions to their financial needs…and that’s exactly what they find at Vanguard. Over the years, this proven approach toinvesting has earned the loyalty of millions of investors.

Providing personal attention

When you come to us for help, you’ll discover that key to our service is the dedicatedattention you’ll receive from a Vanguard® financial planner, who will learn about you andyour concerns. Your planner will take the time to discuss your priorities, whether youneed assistance with a specific situation or a comprehensive evaluation of your entirefinancial picture.

Whatever your needs, your Vanguard planner will carefully apply our time-testedprinciples to your specific situation and develop solutions that will address exactly whatyou need to do, and why. These recommendations will give you a personalized andvaluable road map to follow in seeking financial security.

Serving only your interests

You’ll naturally want to be sure the advice you get is trustworthy. We prize the long-standing reputation we’ve earned for consistently putting investors’ interests first.One way we ensure that the focus remains solely on you is by employing salaried, notcommissioned, financial planners. That means our planners do not derive any benefitfrom their recommendations—they have only your best interests at heart.

A proven approach you can trust

Page 7: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

3 Your planner’s first order of business is getting to know you and your specific needs, anddiscussing the particular concerns that are on your mind. You’ll be asked to share detailedinformation about your current assets, including your assets invested outside Vanguard,to give your planner an accurate picture of your financial situation. You and your plannerwill also discuss assumptions about important factors such as investment performance,expenses, and inflation.

Developing and implementing your plan

Only after thoroughly understanding and analyzing your situation will your planner beginto develop a plan specifically tailored to your circumstances and goals. You and yourplanner will discuss the recommendations in detail, spending as much time as you needto make sure you have a good understanding of the course of action that will follow.

Next, your financial planner will help you carry out the recommendations. After all, thesuccess of a good plan depends not just on how skillfully it’s designed, but how faithfullyit’s carried out. And you’ll find that our recommendations will be not only immediatelyuseful, but a valuable resource as you weigh future investment decisions.

Providing experience you can count on

Of course, you want to be sure the people helping you knowwhat they’re talking about. Vanguard financial planners haveconsiderable practical experience, backed by years of training.In addition, they are licensed under federal and stateregulatory authorities and maintain various professionaldesignations.

Your Vanguard planner’s invaluable assistance

“I want an expert

opinion on how I’m

investing my

savings.”

Page 8: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

A plan built on a secure foundation

4 Regardless of how broad or narrow your financial concerns are today, you need to be sure you have the right foundation in place for tomorrow. That’s why we first undertake acareful review of your current investments.

Once your planner has finished this step, he or she will help you prepare and then carryout a personalized investment plan based on your goals, financial circumstances, timeframe, risk tolerance, and tax situation.

Taking the right approach

When investing, people tend to use a “bottom-up” approach. This means that they firstchoose their investments and consider the resulting mix of assets only after the fact, if atall. At Vanguard, we employ a “top-down” approach, which research has shown is thebest way to build a successful long-term investment program. That’s why your plannerwill focus first on developing the best overall allocation of stock, bond, and short-termreserves to meet your needs.

Your planner will then determine the best mix of investments within that allocation byrecommending specific Vanguard funds. Our impressive roster of more than 100 funds—

which covers a complete array of investmentstrategies—allows us to build a comprehensive,diversified, and personalized investmentprogram for each of our clients.

An indexing leader, Vanguard offers one of thebroadest selections of indexed stock and bondmutual funds available. And Vanguard’sactively managed funds, highly regarded aswell, are run either by our experienced internalmanagers or by leading investment advisorsfrom around the world. This arrangementoffers one-stop access to an exceptionally widerange of investment viewpoints—and preventsthe overlap of investment themes and holdingsin our clients’ portfolios.

Key Questions We Can Answer

Page 9: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

5 Minimizing your taxes

Minimizing taxes on your investment returns is one of the cornerstones of ourinvestment approach. Your planner will tailor strategies to the tax status of your differentaccounts, including tax-advantaged assets such as IRAs and 401(k) plans. More goodnews for you: Your planner will be choosing from one of the largest selections of tax-advantaged and tax-managed mutual funds available anywhere.

Answering more complicated questions

Beyond the specific holdings in your portfolio, there may be other aspects of yourinvestment program that you’d like assistance with. After all, sound financial planning isnot just about what you invest in, but the additional strategies that can be applied to giveyou an added level of financial security.

Your planner can guide you through a variety of financial planning issues to addressspecific retirement, education, or estate-planning issues. Depending on your needs,you’ll be able to:

• Evaluate the suitability of different types of accounts, such as comparing Roth andtraditional IRAs, or determining which education savings program is best for you.

• Determine the most appropriate method for taking distributions from your retirement plans.

• Compare your spending habits to your saving needs to make sure you’re on track to reach your goals.

• Consider how beneficiary designations can help you better position your estate to minimize transfer taxes.

Your planner’s focus will be on designing solutions that address your specific financialconcerns. In the end, you’ll walk away with sensible recommendations that are bothobjective and easy to implement—and that are based on a proven philosophy that’s made Vanguard one of the premier providers of investment services.

Overview

A four-step financial planning process

Our goal is to learn about you, your specific needs, and your concerns. It’s this understanding that is the cornerstone of a sound,

practical, effective financial plan. That’s why your thoughtful completion of this Personal Profile, while a critical starting point,

is only the beginning step.

Step 1. You complete and mail your Profile to us along with any requested documentation and payment. Based on your needs

and your financial situation, Vanguard assigns a planner with the appropriate level of expertise. Your planner carefully reviews your

materials in preparation for future conversations. You can expect this assignment and review process to take several business

days. (Also, please allow additional time for your Profile to arrive in the mail.)

Step 2. Your planner calls you to begin a series of more detailed conversations about your current financial situation, goals, and

concerns. Together, you weigh alternative courses of action. Depending on the complexity of your financial situation, this step

may be completed quickly in one or two telephone conversations or may require additional discussions over several weeks.

Step 3. You receive an in-depth report explaining your planner’s recommendations. You and your planner review those

recommendations together, address any remaining issues, and agree on the next steps to take.

Step 4. In this final step, your planner will help you complete any paperwork required to make the transition to your new

financial strategy. Your planner remains involved until the agreed-upon recommendations are carried out and all of your questions

are answered.

five business days of the date indicated below and receive a full refund for any fees paid.

If I have chosen the fee deduction option, I authorize Vanguard to deduct a fee in the amount—

other type of retirement plan account. I understand that this authorization is a one-time allowance

may deduct the appropriate fee from any nonretirement assets I currently own through Vanguard,

including a redemption of mutual fund shares. If the redemption is made from a fund that is not a

money market fund, I acknowledge that I may realize a capital gain or loss as a result of the

authorized by Vanguard to transact (collectively, an “Authorized Person”).

I also understand that Vanguard requires the signature(s) of the Authorized Person(s) of

additional accounts to be considered in this financial plan, but of which I am not an Authorized

Person. For example, in order for VPFPS to include my spouse’s or partner’s IRA in this financial

plan, I must obtain my spouse’s or partner’s signature, since I am not an owner of that IRA and

thus cannot authorize the inclusion of that IRA in the plan.

Your financial planner will tailor his or her recommendations to your unique concerns and

financial objectives. While the centerpiece of your financial plan will involve asset allocation and

the selection of specific investments, you may have other concerns that may be as specific as

whether to invest in a 529 savings plan or as broad as an evaluation of your retirement outlook.

For example, many of our clients have asked questions such as:

• Will I have enough money to maintain my lifestyle after retirement?

• What’s the best way for me to take distributions from my retirement plan?

• How would an unexpected expense or loss of income affect my financial situation?

• Are my accounts set up to minimize the impact of estate transfer taxes?

Please take a moment to write down the issues that are of most concern to you. The information

you provide here will give your planner a starting point for further discussion.

carefully, and keep

Page 35: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

Page 2Service Agreement and Disclosure Statement

Vanguard Advisers, Inc. (VAI), a Pennsylvania corporation and a registered investment advisor,

through its Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service (VPFPS) division, will provide financial

planning services to you as described below, according to the terms of this Agreement. None

of the fees for such services are commission-based.

VPFPS will assign a financial planner to work with you throughout the financial planning process.

Your financial planner will discuss your financial goals with you and provide advice designed to

help you meet your goals. Your planner will prepare a detailed, written explanation of the advice

and the steps you’ll need to take to act on that advice.

The investment advice VPFPS provides to you will be based on an asset allocation strategy that

is appropriate for your financial circumstances at the time the planning process is conducted.

We will recommend the allocation of your financial assets across different asset classes (stocks,

bonds, short-term reserves) and, within a particular asset class, across different market sectors

(e.g., growth versus value stocks, domestic versus international stocks, long-term versus short-

term bonds).

Once we have determined an asset allocation for you, we will recommend a combination of

mutual funds that is appropriate for your situation. After you’ve reviewed the recommendations,

you and your planner will discuss them in detail. VPFPS will then assist with activities required to

put the approved recommendations into place and to ensure that all remaining questions are

answered to your satisfaction.

The following are key features of this service:

• Goals-based methodology. All of VPFPS’s investment and asset allocation strategies are

driven by your long-term financial goals, not by short-term investment performance. The

advice that you receive is customized for you based on our evaluation of your objectives,

risk tolerance, time horizon, tax status, and other factors.

• Broad diversification of assets. Rather than attempting to predict which investments will

provide superior performance at any given time, VPFPS seeks to control risk by maintaining

broad diversification among investments from a variety of market sectors and asset classes.

• Flexible planning approach. VPFPS will take your entire portfolio into account with a top-

down approach that focuses on the best allocation of stocks, bonds, and short-term reserves

for you. This approach will help ensure that our advice meshes with your overall investment

strategy—even if you ask your financial planner to focus on just a segment of your assets.

Overview1

Services2

Page 36: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

Page 3

In addition to specific asset allocation strategies, your planner will also help you prioritize issues

related to retirement, education, or estate planning. The advice you receive could encompass any

of the following issues:

• Identifying available financial resources and projecting your financial situation in retirement.

• Evaluating your savings and spending habits as they relate to your financial objectives.

• Considering the most appropriate retirement and education savings vehicles.

• Determining the best way to withdraw assets from your investment portfolio.

• Identifying opportunities to minimize estate transfer taxes.

• Discussing how life, long-term care, and disability insurance can help you protect your family

from an unexpected loss of income.

Your Responsibilities 7 You are responsible for providing VPFPS with all necessary information about your financial

circumstances and with any other facts or information that might affect the manner in which the

services described in this Agreement are provided to you. Also, since this process requires open

communication between you and your financial planner, you are responsible for being available

for conversations with your planner. VPFPS strategies and recommendations will be made based

on these conversations and the information that you provide. If VPFPS receives incomplete or

inaccurate information, or if you are unable to fully participate in the financial planning process,

VPFPS will not be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of the recommendations.

It is your responsibility to decide whether to act on the advice provided by VPFPS. It is also up to

you to determine that the recommendations you take action on, with or without the assistance of

VPFPS, have been carried out correctly. If you transfer assets from another financial institution to

Vanguard, it is your responsibility to notify VPFPS when the assets have arrived at Vanguard. It is

also your responsibility to subsequently initiate any remaining transactions.

VPFPS reserves the right to terminate this Agreement if, in the opinion of VPFPS, you fail to

provide complete and accurate information within a reasonable period of time, or if the services

provided by VPFPS do not appear to be suitable for your particular situation.

Financial Planning Recommendations

During the financial planning process, you and your planner may discuss a variety of financial

strategies, and your planner will present you with documentation of his or her recommendations.

Within this document, your planner will suggest strategies that are specifically designed to help

you achieve your financial goals. Any financial statements that may be included in the Report are

unaudited and may not follow generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, they should

not be relied upon by third parties to evaluate your creditworthiness and should not be used for

any purpose other than to assist you in developing your financial strategy.

In developing your recommendations, VPFPS will make certain assumptions, such as rates of

return on investments, inflation rates, etc. All assumptions are estimates based on historical data

that, in our opinion, serve as a useful and reasonable basis on which to develop financial

strategies. Please keep in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Standard of Care

VPFPS and its representatives will perform the services described in this Agreement in good faith

and in accordance with applicable law. However, except for gross negligence, willful malfeasance,

or bad faith, neither VPFPS nor any Vanguard affiliate will be held liable for any action performed

or omitted, or for errors of judgment made within the scope of the performance of such services.

Federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on persons even

when they act in good faith, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute a waiver or

limitation of rights that you may have under federal or state securities laws.

Page 39: Vanguard Personal Financial Planning Service

Page 6

Taxes

Recommendations made by VPFPS may result in taxable gains or losses, or the generation of taxable

dividend income or tax-preference items for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Although VPFPS

may advise you with respect to the tax consequences of its investment recommendations, you agree and

acknowledge that the payment of all taxes due on income or capital gains remains your sole obligation,

and neither VPFPS, VAI, nor any affiliated or related party or person shall have any responsibility with

respect to them. Nonresident aliens may be subject to withholding taxes on income or capital gains.

Transaction and Redemption Fees

Some Vanguard funds charge fees on the purchase of shares. These fees, designed to offset the cost

of buying and selling securities, are paid directly to the fund and are not sales charges. Additionally,

some Vanguard funds charge redemption fees in order to discourage short-term trading. VPFPS may

recommend Vanguard funds with either or both of these types of fees. Should you incur such fees as

a result of acting on VPFPS’s recommendations, you acknowledge that these fees will be assessed on

your purchase or deducted from your redemption proceeds in accordance with the conditions set

forth in the prospectus of the particular Vanguard fund you are buying or selling.

Additionally, other financial institutions may impose certain fees or other charges on assets that

you transfer to Vanguard. Be sure to consult your other financial providers to ensure your

understanding of all fees that may result from carrying out our recommendations.

Confidentiality

Your personal and financial information will be held in strict confidence and will not be disclosed to

any unaffiliated third party except as part of a regulatory examination or as set forth in the Vanguard

privacy policy.

Investment Results

There is no assurance that you will achieve positive investment results by following the advice

provided by VPFPS. Although VPFPS will recommend strategies that are designed to be prudent

and diversified, all investments are subject to risks, as described in the prospectuses of the funds

you invest in. As with any investment in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, you could lose money.

Vanguard Advisers, Inc.

VPFPS is a division of VAI, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Vanguard Group, Inc.

(Vanguard). Vanguard is owned by The Vanguard Group of Mutual Funds. VPFPS recommends

Vanguard mutual funds and other Vanguard products and services.

Vanguard funds are distributed by Vanguard Marketing Corporation, a registered broker-dealer

affiliated with VAI and Vanguard. VAI has established and operates under a Code of Ethics that

Arbitration

All controversies arising out of or relating to any services provided by VAI, VPFPS, Vanguard, or

any of their affiliates, directors, or employees with respect to transactions of any kind executed

pursuant to this Agreement, with respect to any accounts serviced according to this Agreement,

or which relate in any way to this Agreement will be resolved by arbitration and governed by the

laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to its conflicts of laws rule.

Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with and subject to the then-applicable Commercial

Dispute Resolution Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (the AAA Rules). Unless

otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties, the arbitration hearings will be held in the City of

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A panel of three arbitrators will be selected in accordance with the AAA

Rules. The arbitrators will allow such discovery as is appropriate and consistent with the purposes of

arbitration in accomplishing a fair, speedy, and cost-effective resolution of disputes. The arbitrators will

reference the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure then in effect in

setting the scope of discovery. Judgment upon the award rendered in any such arbitration may be

entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial

acceptance of the award and an enforcement, as the law of such jurisdiction may require or allow. You

consent to service of process by first-class mail to your addresses maintained on record at Vanguard.

You should know that: (1) arbitration awards will be final and binding on all parties; (2) by signing

the enrollment section of Your Personal Profile, all parties are waiving their right to seek remedies in

court, including the right to a jury trial; (3) prearbitration discovery is generally more limited than and

different from court proceedings; (4) the arbitrator’s decision is not required to include factual findings

or legal reasoning; and (5) any party’s right to appeal or to seek modification of rulings by arbitrators

is strictly limited.

Note that the arbitration clause may not constitute a waiver of any right under federal or state

securities laws, including the right to choose the forum in which to seek resolution of disputes.

The arbitration clause may not apply to residents of all states.

Effectiveness

This Agreement will take effect once Vanguard receives a fully executed copy of Your Personal

Profile and accepts it. All fees payable, as described in Your Personal Profile, must be submitted

by check or deducted from one of your Vanguard nonretirement accounts in order for us to

begin providing services. No services will be provided until such conditions have been met.

Assignment, Amendment, and Termination of Services

Neither party may assign or amend this Agreement without the consent of the other party. VPFPS

can terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying you in writing and refunding the fees you

paid. You can terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying Vanguard in writing. If you do so

within five business days of the date you sign Your Personal Profile, you will receive a full refund

of any fees paid. If you do so after the five days, the amount of your refund—if any—will depend

on the amount of work performed by, and expenses incurred by, VPFPS prior to receipt of your

termination notice. Written notice of termination should be sent to Vanguard Personal Financial

Planning Service, Post Office Box 709, Valley Forge, PA 19482-0709.
