#3 – STAR LifeStrategy Income (VASIX)
| STAR LifeStrategy Income (VASIX) is the most conservative STAR LifeStrategy fund. In general, it puts just over 20% of assets into equities and the rest in bonds. None of the equities are in overseas markets, 20% of the bonds are short-term, and none of the bonds are long-term, except when Asset Allocation has some money there.
Vanguard says the fund is appropriate for people in their late retirement years (ages 75 and over). But my guess is that by the time you’re 75, you’ll have built up a mix of investments into which this fund may not fit at all. And if you’re new to the investing game, this is a very conservative fund that may not suit your needs. All but the most conservative, income-oriented investors should be very cautious about throwing their money in here for the long haul. |
