Vanguard LifeStrategy 20% Equity Fund A Gross Inc

The Vanguard LifeStrategy 20% Equity Fund aims to balance growth and income by investing around 20% in a variety of shares and 80% in bonds and similar fixed income products. It primarily uses passive index-tracking funds managed by ACD and its partners, ensuring broad diversification across different countries and asset types. The fund includes shares from both UK and international companies, including those in emerging markets, and holds a mix of UK government bonds (gilts), UK and non-UK corporate bonds. The UK is a major focus, making up about a quarter of the equity investments and over a third of the bond investments. Additionally, the fund may directly invest in various transferable securities to enhance its portfolio.
