                          VANGUARD LIFESTRATEGY FUNDS

                             PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

                               SEPTEMBER 20, 1995


The investment policies of the LIFEStrategy Funds have been revised by
adjusting the investment allocation of each LIFEStrategy Portfolio's assets
among the underlying Vanguard Funds. The allocation to the Vanguard Asset
Allocation Fund is being reduced from 30% of the Portfolios' assets to 25%.
Accordingly, the investment in other underlying Funds will be increased.
This minor adjustment will not change the target asset class allocations of
the Portfolios and therefore their investment objectives. The targets will
remain as they currently are: Income Portfolio-20% stocks, 60% bonds, 20%
reserves; Conservative Growth Portfolio-40% stocks, 40% bonds, 20%
reserves; Moderate Growth Portfolio-60% stocks, 40% bonds; and the Growth
Portfolio-80% stocks, 20% bonds.

The new fund investment allocations for each Portfolio are listed in the
following table:

(1)    The Portfolios will invest in the European and Pacific Portfolios so
       that the combined weights parallel the Morgan Stanley Capital 
       International--EAFE Index.
(2)    The Portfolios will divide their investments equally (i.e. 25% each)
       between these four VFISF Portfolios.
       
NOTE:  Because of the fluctuating stock/bond ratio within Vanguard Asset
       Allocation Fund, the allocation of stocks, bonds, and reserves in each
       Vanguard LIFEStrategy Portfolio will fluctuate, but is expected to 
       remain close to its respective target allocation over time.
