About VGWAX

This fund employs a balanced investment strategy, allocating approximately two-thirds of its assets to a mix of domestic and international stocks, with the remaining one-third invested in U.S. and global fixed-income securities. It achieves extensive diversification by holding equities and bonds across all economic sectors. This broad portfolio construction is crucial for mitigating the impact that one or two specific holdings might otherwise have on the fund's overall performance. Due to its international stock and investment-grade bond holdings, the fund is subject to potential currency fluctuations and country-specific risks. It is primarily suited for long-term investors who seek both capital appreciation and a degree of income, and who are comfortable with the inherent volatility of the stock and bond markets.
