Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Fund meets its investment strategy by investing in the Vanguard Global Infrastructure Index Fund, forward foreign exchange contracts and futures. Vanguard may, at its discretion, commence investing directly in the securities that are, have been or are expected to be in the index. The Fund is exposed to all of the securities in the index most of the time, allowing for individual security weighting to vary marginally from the index from time to time. The Fund may be exposed to securities that have been removed from or are expected to be included in the index. Strategic asset allocation*
*This is a targeted strategic asset allocation. In addition, cash may be held for the purposes of liquidity management and derivatives may be used to manage market exposure. |
