1This Portfolio invests exclusively in the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund. You could lose money by investing in the Portfolio. Although the underlying fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Portfolio and underlying fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Neither the Program Manager nor the underlying fund’s sponsor has any legal obligation to provide financial support to the Portfolio or underlying fund, and you should not expect that either the Program Manager or the fund sponsor will provide financial support to the Portfolio or the underlying fund at any time.back
