When you are enrolled in the Vanguard Cash Deposit program, Eligible Deposits that are swept to Program Banks are not securities: they are not covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), but are eligible for FDIC insurance. Eligible Deposits swept to Program Banks are the obligations of each Program Bank, and are not cash balances held by Vanguard Brokerage Services® (VBS). See the Bank Sweep Terms of Use for more information. Assets swept to the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund are held by VBS, a division of Vanguard Marketing Corporation, member FINRA and SIPC. These assets are not covered by FDIC insurance. See the Vanguard Brokerage Account Agreement for more information. You are responsible for monitoring the total assets you hold at each Program Bank for FDIC coverage and limitations. These total assets will include not only Eligible Deposits under the Bank Sweep, but also any other deposits you may hold at those banks. For more information about FDIC insurance coverage, please visit the FDIC website at FDIC.gov.
*Vanguard Cash Deposit balances are held at one or more participating banks, earn a variable rate of interest, and are not covered by SIPC. Balances are eligible for FDIC insurance subject to coverage limits as detailed in Bank Sweep Terms of Use.
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.
