The portfolio invests in two Vanguard® international equity index funds. The percentages of the portfolio's assets allocated to each underlying fund are:
Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund (80%)

Through its investment in the Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund, the Portfolio indirectly invests in a broad range of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks located in Canada and major markets across Europe and the Pacific region.

Through its investment in the Vanguard Emerging Markets Ex-China ETF, the Portfolio indirectly invests in large- and mid-cap companies located in advanced and secondary emerging markets around the world, excluding China. The Fund tracks the FTSE Emerging ex-China Index by sampling a diversified collection of securities that collectively approximate the index’s key characteristics, including industry weightings, market capitalization, and financial metrics such as price/earnings ratio and dividend yield.

Investment Risks

The Portfolio is subject to stock market risk, country/regional risk, investment style risk, investing in foreign markets, emerging markets risk, ex-china investing risk, currency risk, indexing risks, nondiversification risk, index concentration risk, index-related risks, and index replicating risk.
