Investment Strategy
The Total International Stock Index Portfolio invests entirely in the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (the "Total International Stock Index Fund"), which employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index, a free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance of companies located in developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. The Index includes more than 7,700 stocks of companies located in 48 countries. The Total International Stock Index Fund invests all, or substantially all, of its assets in the common stocks included in its target index.

The second value is the percent change of the Unit Price based on a selected timeframe and is represented by the purple line. A date selector can be found underneath the chart that allows for custom date ranges to be chosen. These charts also feature the ability to zoom into pre-determined time periods (Note: Selecting a zoom period will not change the previously selected date range).
