Vanguard LifeStrategy Income Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide current income and some capital appreciation.
The fund invests through a mix of Vanguard mutual funds in a fixed allocation of approximately 80% fixed income and 20% stocks, targeting 56% U.S. bonds, 24% foreign bonds (currency-hedged), 12% U.S. stocks, and 8% foreign stocks. The underlying holdings span government, agency, corporate, and securitized bonds across maturities, along with diversified equity exposure across market capitalizations. Because the fund's returns depend on the performance of its underlying fund holdings, divergence from the stated allocation targets will cause the fund to drift from its intended risk profile until rebalanced.

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.
How it has done
VASIX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 4.57%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jun 2026 and Jul 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.
