Performance for the long run

Our funds are among the industry’s best long-term performers.

For the ten-year period ended June 30, 2016, these percentages of Vanguard funds outperformed their Lipper averages:

• 100% of money market funds (10 of 10)
• 100% of balanced funds (23 of 23)
• 94% of bond funds (51 of 54)
• 91% of stock funds (117 of 129)

Results will vary for other time periods. Only funds with a minimum ten-year history were included in the comparisons. (Source: Lipper, a Thomson Reuters Company.)

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. Bond funds are subject to the risk that an issuer will fail to make payments on time, and that bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates or negative perceptions of an issuer’s ability to make payments.
