364.0. "Vanguard Newsletter" by BREAK::VANO () Tue Jan 26 1993 10:28

    After reading note 363 re: Fidelity Insight (which I'm seriously
    considering subscribing to), I was wondering if anyone could offer their
    opinion on the newsletter that tracks Vanguard. Unfortunately, I do not
    have the name handy, but I do know it was out of NY at one point and
    recently I've heard it's now out of Boston.
    
    Also, which of the Vanguard funds is managed by Brian Mattes?
    
    
    Thanks,

364.2another Vanguard newsletter: Vantage PointANGLIN::HILDEBRANDWed Mar 24 1993 04:0744
    I am not familiar with the "Vanguard Advisor", but I do subscribe to
    "Vantage Point" (An Independent Report for Vanguard Investors). 
    Vantage Point is an eight page monthly news letter published by NAMFI
    (National Assoication of Mutual Fund Investors). Their address is...
    
    		NAMFI
    		Suite 195
    		2927 West Liberty Avenue
    		Pittsburg, PA 15216
    
    The annual membership fee is listed at $129, though I believe that I
    paid about $80.
    
    My last issue of "Vantage Point" covered the following topics.
    
    1. Commentary (General review of bond and stock markets, funds and
    sectors that are winning and losing, and other short news items.)
    
    2. Fund Classification Revisited (Categorizing the Vanguard Funds)
    
    3. Fund Highlight: Gold & Precious Metals (Details of the GPM Fund)
    
    4. Income Scoreboard (Percent changes and rankings of bond and money
    market funds).
    
    5. Equity Scoreboard (Percent changes and rankings of stock, balanced,
    and annuity funds over various recent time periods.)
    
    6. Strategic Portfolios (Hypothetical allocations with thre different
    objectives and strategies: "Market Tactician", "Agressive-Defensive",
    and "International".)
    
    7. Conservative Portfolios (Hypothetical allocations with two different
    objectives and strategies: "Conservative" and "Income".)
    
    8. Update on Vanguard's New Funds
    
    I have been subscribing to "Vantage Point" for about 9 months and I
    have been satisfied with its content.  I have just recently changed my
    Vanguard IRA fund allocations based on this newletter, so its too soon
    to tell if it has helped.  I'll probably renew my subscription.
