What We Know About Vanguard’s Target Date Retirement Fund Tax Scandal

• The Wall Street Journal reported in January 2022 that Vanguard paid out huge capital gains distributions to investors – including investors who held the funds in non-tax advantaged accounts, such as 401Ks or IRAs.
• These payments triggered massive and unexpected tax bills that could have been avoided had Vanguard advised that investors hold these funds in tax-advantaged retirement accounts.
• In March three investors in Vanguard’s target-date fund filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania claiming Vanguard breached its legal duties by selling off large amounts of assets which triggered hundreds of millions in tax burden for investors across the country.
• In July Vanguard paid over $6M in response to an investigation by Massachusetts regulators. Vanguard established a $5.5 million fund to pay restitution to harmed investors in MA.
