*The asset allocations are as of September 30, 2006, except for the Income Fund. We show the new target allocation for the latter, which the actual allocation was approaching. Numbers may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
**Vanguard recommends its Total Bond Market Index Fund for the entire bond portfolio. The separation between short-term and longer-term bonds is based on the October 31, 2006, balance sheet with short-term bonds rounded to the nearest percent. This fund has 0.1% or negligible high-yield bonds.
