Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds Equity Income Portfolio (the Fund ) seeks to provide an above-average level of current income and reasonable long-term capital appreciation.
The fund invests in common stocks of mid-size and large companies selected for above-average dividend yields and perceived undervaluation relative to peers, with a preference for companies with consistent dividend-payment histories. Multiple independent advisors each build and manage their own equity portfolios for the fund. Because each advisor independently selects securities, the fund's overall holdings and performance may diverge from what any single advisor would achieve alone.

| Stocks | 96.51% |
| Cash & short-term | 1.92% |
| Derivatives | -0.03% |
The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.
Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.
Sector allocation
The same holdings as Allocation above, grouped by market sector instead of asset type · as of 2026 Q2
| Financials | 20.5% |
| Information Technology | 16.5% |
| Health Care | 14.1% |
| Industrials | 10.4% |
| 10 smaller | 38.6% |
Government, Securitized and Cash are non-corporate buckets; International is foreign holdings we don’t sector-classify, and Other is the residual (held funds, unresolved names).
Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
