The Fund seeks to transition a portfolio of long-, intermediate-, and short-term inflation-indexed bonds contributed by six Vanguard funds into a portfolio of short-term inflation-indexed bonds that resembles the Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities 0-5 Year Index (the Index). Shortly after completion of the transition, it is expected that the Fund will cease operations.
