| Withdrawal charges and Front end charge |
Transaction fees are assessed on purchases and redemptions of fund shares. They are paid directly to the fund - not to Vanguard - and serve to allocate costs associated with the securities transactions a fund must make to accommodate investors' purchase or sales. In some cases, redemption fees are aimed at discouraging short-term trading activity that could negatively impact long-term shareholders. You can find out whether a Vanguard fund assesses a transaction fee by going to Research Funds & Stocks on Vanguard.com® and selecting the Cost tab of the fund's profile. |
