Vanguard Star Funds

A "fund of funds" mutual fund from the Vanguard Group, the STAR Fund bundles shares of many other Vanguard funds into one balanced mix of stocks and bonds, giving everyday investors a simple, one-stop diversified option since its launch in 1985. The name stands for "Strategic Asset Allocation and Retirement," chosen to signal its purpose as a single, ready-made retirement-oriented portfolio. It was born at Vanguard, the investor-owned firm founded by Jack Bogle, the pioneer who made low-cost investing a household idea.

Vanguard Total International Stock ETF seeks to track the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index, providing exposure to developed and emerging markets excluding the United States.
