Investment Objective

The portfolio seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of the overall stock market.

Investment Strategy

The portfolio invests 100% of its assets in the Vanguard Institutional Total Stock Market Index Fund, which employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the CRSP US Total Market Index. The Index represents approximately 100% of the investable U.S. stock market and includes large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap stocks regularly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. The Fund invests by sampling the Index, meaning that it holds a broadly diversified collection of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key characteristics. These key characteristics include industry weightings and market capitalization, as well as certain financial measures, such as price/earnings ratio and dividend yield.

Investment Risks

The portfolio primarily is subject to stock market risk and index sampling risk. The portfolio also has a low level of derivatives risk.
