Take advantage of the experience of an industry leader
Vanguard ETF strategic model portfolios are created and maintained by our Investment Strategy Group, which is responsible for overseeing Vanguard's investment methodology, including portfolio construction and asset allocation modeling.
The group draws from Vanguard's more than 45 years of indexing experience to ensure that our model portfolios reflect our investment philosophy. We believe that investors maximize their chance of success when they select and stick with asset allocations--or mixes of stock, bond, and money market funds--that reflect their goals, tolerance for risk, and time horizons; diversify broadly within each asset class; and limit the costs of investing.
A firm belief in a top-down approach

Investment selection
To help investors and their advisors address diverse needs, we offer our ETF strategic model portfolios in a range of stock/bond allocations. All our balanced model portfolios provide exposure to U.S. and international stocks and global investment-grade bonds, except for our Tax-Efficient Series, whose fixed income allocation focuses on U.S. municipal bonds.
To ensure broad diversification in each asset class, all the ETFs underlying our model portfolios track broad-market or market-segment indexes. Each index is capitalization-weighted, meaning that its components reflect the makeup of the market or market segment it tracks. Employing an index approach also helps to keep costs low relative to the average actively managed investment strategy.
Core Series
Our most straightforward portfolios include broadly diversified domestic and international equity and fixed income Vanguard ETFs?. In addition, each portfolio features low costs and the potential for few capital gains.

1 Across asset groups, portfolio weights reflect a combination of market characteristics, Vanguard portfolio construction philosophy, and the availability of the ETFs in the Vanguard lineup. Within each asset group, the allocations reflect the market capitalizations of the ETFs' benchmarks. Because of rounding, weights may not add up to 100%. Note that some of the investable universe may be lost when moving from a broad ETF to a group of narrower ETFs.

Source: Vanguard calculations using data from FactSet.
The performance data shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results, and reflects the performance of the underlying products that comprise our strategies and our investment allocation methodology. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's ETF shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data cited. Performance of the model ETF components are based on net asset value (NAV) return and assumes a semiannual rebalance from January 2010 through December 2012, a quarterly rebalance from January 2013 through December 2013, and a monthly rebalance thereafter. Performance figures assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions; the figures are pre-tax and net of expenses of the underlying funds. All figures are for periods ended September 30, 2021, except where noted. Performance figures for periods of less than one year are cumulative returns.
