A Guide to Building a Vanguard Balanced ETF Portfolio

SAN JOSE, Calif. - June 20, 2014 - PRLog -- A Vanguard Balanced Index Fund provides an option that many other investments do not: a low cost fund that gives significant exposure to both stocks and bonds. Using this ETF to build a Vanguard Balanced ETF portfolio lets you invest about 60% in stocks that follow the CSRP Total Market Index. The other 40% goes into bonds, which follow the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index.
