Our ratings:
BUY: Best choice. Generally funds held in our Model Portfolios or funds with similar objectives. HOLD: Current prospects for the fund are not as good as those with a Buy rating. However, investors
who own shares in the fund may wish to assess tax costs of trading into a Buy-rated fund. SELL: The fund’s long-term prospects are not as compelling as other funds’, or other factors may make the fund unattract-
ive compared to alternatives. “+” is a rating upgrade over the previous month; “-” is a downgrade.
Investors should weigh all tax implications of fund switches before making a sale or purchase. Some closed funds are available for purchase by high-net-worth investors. All funds charge a $20 annual account fee
unless you have $10,000 in the fund, $100,000 with Vanguard or accept all paperwork through online means.
