Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard STAR Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income.
The fund is a fund of funds that invests in a diversified portfolio of other Vanguard mutual funds rather than holding securities directly, maintaining a balanced allocation of 60–70% in stocks through actively managed underlying stock funds and 30–40% in bonds through an actively managed underlying bond fund. The underlying stock holdings emphasize large-capitalization domestic companies with some international diversification, while the underlying bond holdings span investment-grade and below-investment-grade corporate bonds, government and agency securities, non-U.S. bonds including emerging market issuers, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities with dollar-weighted average maturities typically between 4 and 12 years. Because the fund's returns depend on the performance of the underlying funds selected, divergence from the fund's stated allocation targets may occur.
