About VASIX

The Vanguard LifeStrategy Income Fund is a diversified mutual fund designed to provide current income with a modest potential for capital appreciation. As a fund-of-funds, it primarily invests through other Vanguard mutual funds, following a strategic allocation with approximately 80% exposure to high-quality bonds and 20% to global equities. The fixed-income portion includes U.S. government, agency, and investment-grade corporate bonds, along with international bonds hedged to minimize currency risk, offering a blend of short-, intermediate-, and long-term maturities. The equity allocation spans both domestic and internationally diversified stocks, with a significant emphasis on broad market coverage. Notable for its low expense ratio and disciplined allocation process, the fund is categorized under global conservative allocation and is structured to appeal to investors seeking stability, income, and global diversification in their portfolios. Its systematic approach, overseen by a centralized investment committee, promotes consistency and long-term stability, making it a benchmark option in the income-focused multi-asset class segment.
