Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance • Vanguard’s four LifeStrategy Funds provide a broadly diversified portfolio within a single fund. Each fund has a different fixed allocation to underlying U.S. and international stock and bond index funds. • For the 12 months ended October 31, 2016, returns for the LifeStrategy Funds ranged from 3.54% for the LifeStrategy Growth Fund, which has the largest allocation to stocks, to 4.42% for the LifeStrategy Income Fund, which has the largest allocation to bonds. • Each fund performed in line with its composite benchmark after expenses. All the funds surpassed the average return of their peer groups. • Of the funds’ four underlying investments, international bonds performed best, returning about 5% after hedging against currency fluctuations. International stocks were the laggards with a return of about 1%. The broad U.S. stock and bond markets fell in between, with each returning about 4%.

(Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.

The LifeStrategy Funds do not charge any expenses or fees of their own. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the annualized acquired fund fees and expenses were 0.12% for the LifeStrategy Income Fund, 0.13% for the LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, 0.14% for the LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund, and 0.15% for the LifeStrategy Growth Fund. Peer groups are the composites listed on page 1. Their expense figures are derived by applying the appropriate allocations to average expense ratios of these mutual fund peer groups: fixed income funds, general equity funds, and international funds. Average expense ratios for these groups are derived from data provided by Lipper, a Thomson Reuters Company, and capture information through year-end 2015. 2 Copyright © 2013 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Chairman’s Perspective Bill McNabb Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareholder, Over the three years ended August 31, 2016, investors poured more than $1 trillion into index funds. Indexing now accounts for nearly a third of all mutual fund assets—more than double what it did a decade ago and eight times its share two decades ago.1 By contrast, active management’s commercial struggles have reflected its disappointing investment performance. Over the decade ended December 31, 2015, 82% of actively managed stock funds and 81% of active bond funds have either underperformed their benchmarks or shut down. This subpar performance has fueled the explosion of asset growth in indexing among individual, retirement, and nonprofit investors. So what might the trend mean for the future of actively managed funds? Our research and experience indicate that active management can survive—and even succeed—but only if it’s offered at much lower expense. High costs, which limit a manager’s ability to deliver benchmark-beating returns to clients, are the biggest reason why active has lagged. Industrywide as of December 31, 2015, the average expense ratio for all active stock funds is 1.14%,

Professional female surfers, in particular, are drawing greater media attention than ever before and are seen by surf companies as the perfect vehicle to develop this global industry further. Because lifestyle branding has been developed as a modern marketing strategy, this thesis examines the lifestyle marketing practices of the three major surfing companies Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy through an investigation of the sponsorship experiences of fifteen sponsored female surfers. The research paradigm guiding this study is an interpretive approach that applies Doris Lessing’s (1991) concept of conformity and Michel Foucault’s (1979) notion of surveillance and the technologies of the self. An ethnographic approach was utilised to examine the main research purpose, namely to: determine the impact of lifestyle marketing by Billabong, Rip Curl and Quicksilver/Roxy on sponsored female surfers.
