As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
Vanguard Target Retirement 2050 Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation and current income consistent with its current asset allocation.
The fund invests in a mix of Vanguard mutual funds according to an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire around 2050. The fund's asset allocation becomes progressively more conservative over time, with the percentage allocated to stocks declining and fixed income increasing. Within seven years after 2050, the allocation is designed to converge toward that of Vanguard Target Retirement Income Fund.

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.

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.
