The value of a dedicated advisor

When you choose Personal Advisor Select, you’re getting more than just financial
advice. You’re getting a relationship.

A dedicated partner who understands where you’re coming from and where you want
to go in your financial life.

An experienced CFP who works only for you and your goals. Not for a commission.

Someone who’s by your side during market highs and lows to offer coaching and
guidance during emotionally charged moments.

Someone who knows your story—and will make sure your financial plan keeps up
when the story changes.

Someone who’s on the journey with you.

A journey that can start today.

Important information:

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you
invest.

Advice services are provided by Vanguard Advisers, Inc., a registered investment

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHAT'S THE ANNUAL FEE FOR VANGUARD PERSONAL ADVISOR SELECT™?

You'll pay just 0.30% on the assets you invest with us. That's no more than $30
in fees for every $10,000 in your portfolio, which covers access to a financial
advisor, your customized goals-based financial plan, and ongoing investment
advice. (Note that this fee doesn't include investment expense ratios, but we
generally recommend using low-cost Vanguard funds to build your portfolio.)


WHAT'S THE MINIMUM AMOUNT I NEED TO INVEST?

You'll need to invest a minimum of $500,000 to work with our advisors, and we'll
waive any fund minimums for you. The following types of Vanguard accounts count
toward the minimum:

 * Individual accounts (mutual fund or brokerage).
 * IRAs.
 * Trust accounts.

We can't advise you on the following types of accounts (and they don't count
toward the minimum), but we can still include them in your plan and give you
guidance that you can implement yourself:

 * Ineligible 401(k) and 403(b) accounts.
 * i401(k) accounts.
 * 529 accounts.
 * UGMA/UTMA accounts.
 * Other investment accounts you hold outside of Vanguard.

 


WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR VANGUARD ADVICE?

Vanguard is one of the largest investment companies in the world with decades of
experience and global recognition. Our highly respected investment managers,
researchers, strategists, and economists have developed a deep expertise in all
areas of investing. You'll get access to the best thinking of these Vanguard
experts along with a customized plan based on your personal goals that applies
our methodologies to your situation. On top of that, our financial advisors are
ready to help when you need it, by phone, email, or videochat.


HOW DO I KNOW IF VANGUARD ADVICE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Personal Advisor Select might be a good fit for you if:

 * You have questions about investing.
 * You want a smart strategy to save for things like: funding your retirement,
   saving for college tuition, buying a home, or starting a business.
 * You don't enjoy making investment decisions or you'd rather spend your time
   doing other things. (You want someone else to keep an eye on your portfolio
   for you.)
 * It's tough to stick to a long-term plan or you often react to market
   volatility.
 * You have to make complex financial decisions (Social Security, health care
   funding, or withdrawing retirement savings) and want help making these
   decisions.
 * You believe in the power of diversification, low costs, and a long-term view.
 * You want help managing your investments in a tax-efficient manner and want to
   take advantage of tax-loss harvesting.*

If you're looking for an advisor who will identify "hot" investment trends and
actively trade to beat the market, Personal Advisor Select is NOT the right fit
for you.

To review some questions you should ask if you're considering financial advice,
read the Advisor Client Relationship Summary (Form CRS) conversation starter
questions.

You can also get important details about this service, including asset-based
service levels and fee breakpoints, in the Vanguard Personal Advisor Select
Brochure.


HOW DO I KNOW YOUR ADVISORS WILL FOCUS ON MY BEST INTERESTS?

Focusing on investors' best interests is what Vanguard was built on. We were
founded on the mission to take a stand for investors to help give them the best
possible chance for success. Learn more about our investment philosophy and
company history

Personal Advisor Select is held to fiduciary standards under applicable
regulations. (Meaning our advisors are required to act in your best interests at
all times.) Also, our advisors don't receive commissions.


CAN I BE A SUCCESSFUL INVESTOR WITHOUT A VANGUARD ADVISOR?

We've always believed that successful investing can be simpler than many people
think, but decades of experience have taught us that not everyone is as
passionate about investing as we are—and that's okay.

For people who aren't as interested in creating and monitoring an in-depth
financial plan (or delving into the nuances of asset allocation, rebalancing,
taxes, and goal prioritization), we're here to help. We also believe that
talking to an advisor can be helpful if things get a bit stormy, whether it's in
the market or your personal life.


WHAT CAN I EXPECT INITIALLY?

First, you'll fill us in on some information (things like your needs and goals,
including a timeline for each, and information on your non-Vanguard assets). You
can do this online or over the phone. Then you'll set up a time to speak to an
advisor. The advisor will get to know you, answer any questions you have, and
make sure we have everything we need to build your customized financial plan.

Once your plan is created (within a few weeks), you'll meet with an advisor
again to go through it. At that time, you can decide whether the plan and the
service are a good fit for you—with no obligation.


HOW DO I GET STARTED?

You can get started online or by phone. Be ready to tell us about your
investment objectives for funding your retirement, saving for college, paying
off debt, buying a home, or other goals, and a timeline for each one. We'll also
need an estimate of your income and spending needs, as well as information on
any non-Vanguard assets or income (including an approximation of your expected
Social Security benefits). Then you'll schedule a time to meet with an advisor
and you're on your way!

*Tax-loss harvesting involves certain risks, including, among others, the risk
that the new investment could have higher costs than the original investment and
could introduce portfolio tracking error into your accounts. There may also be
unintended tax implications. We recommend that you carefully review the terms of
the consent and consult a tax advisor before taking action.

All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you
invest. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.


We recommend that you consult a tax or financial advisor about your individual
situation.

For more information about Vanguard funds or Vanguard ETFs, visit vanguard.com
to obtain a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus. Investment
objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information about a
fund are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before
investing.

Vanguard is investor-owned, meaning the fund shareholders own the funds, which
in turn own Vanguard. Our retail direct investment advisory strategies, in turn,
are built on core investments in the Vanguard funds.


Vanguard’s advice services are provided by Vanguard Advisers, Inc. (“VAI”), a
registered investment advisor, or by Vanguard National Trust Company (“VNTC”), a
federally chartered, limited-purpose trust company. 

The services provided to clients will vary based upon the service selected,
including management, fees, eligibility, and access to an advisor. Find VAI’s
Form CRS and each program’s advisory brochure here for an overview.

VAI and VNTC are subsidiaries of the Vanguard Group, Inc., and affiliates of
Vanguard Marketing Corporation. Neither VAI, VNTC, nor its affiliates guarantee
profits or protection from losses.
