Plain
Talk About Costs of Investing |
Costs
are an important consideration in choosing a mutual fund. That is
because
you, as a shareholder, pay a proportionate share of the costs of
operating
a fund and any transaction costs incurred when the fund buys or
sells
securities. These costs can erode a substantial portion of the gross
income
or the capital appreciation a fund achieves. Even seemingly small
differences
in expenses can, over time, have a dramatic effect on a
fund’s
performance.
|
Plain
Talk About International Investing |
U.S.
investors who invest in foreign securities will encounter risks not
typically
associated with U.S. companies because foreign stock and bond
markets
operate differently from the U.S. markets. For instance, foreign
companies
and governments may not be subject to the same or similar
accounting,
auditing, legal, tax, and financial reporting standards and
practices
as U.S. companies and the U.S. government, and their stocks and
bonds
may not be as liquid as those of similar U.S. entities. In addition,
foreign
stock exchanges, brokers, companies, bond markets, and dealers
may
be subject to less government supervision and regulation than their
counterparts
in the United States. These factors, among others, could
negatively
affect the returns U.S. investors receive from foreign
investments. |
Plain
Talk About Regional Versus Broad International
Investing |
Regional
funds are international funds that invest in a particular geographical
region,
such as Europe or the Pacific Basin. Because they concentrate their
holdings
in a single region, these funds typically have higher share price
volatility
than broadly diversified international stock funds (which, by
investing
in many different foreign markets, may offset losses from one
country
with gains from another at any given
time). |
Plain
Talk About Vanguard’s Unique Corporate Structure |
Vanguard is
owned jointly by the funds it oversees and thus indirectly by the
shareholders
in those funds. Most other mutual funds are operated by
management
companies that are owned by third parties—either public or
private
stockholders—and not by the funds they
serve. |
Plain
Talk About Distributions |
As
a shareholder, you are entitled to your portion of a fund’s income from
interest
and dividends as well as capital gains from the fund’s sale of
investments.
Income consists of both the dividends that the fund earns from
any
stock holdings and the interest it receives from any money market and
bond
investments. Capital gains are realized whenever the fund sells
securities
for higher prices than it paid for them. These capital gains are
either
short-term or long-term, depending on whether the fund held the
securities
for one year or less or for more than one
year. |
Plain
Talk About Buying a Dividend |
Unless
you are a tax-exempt investor or investing through a tax-advantaged
account
(such as an IRA or an employer-sponsored retirement or savings
plan),
you should consider avoiding a purchase of fund shares shortly before
the
fund makes a distribution, because doing so can cost you money in
taxes.
This is known as “buying a dividend.” For example: On December 15,
you
invest $5,000, buying 250 shares for $20 each. If the fund pays a
distribution
of $1 per share on December 16, its share price will drop to $19
(not
counting market change). You still have only $5,000 (250 shares x $19 =
$4,750
in share value, plus 250 shares x $1 = $250 in distributions), but you
owe
tax
on the $250 distribution you received—even if you reinvest it in
more
shares. To avoid buying a dividend, check a fund’s distribution schedule
before
you invest. |
