Vanguard has added T. Rowe Price Associates as an advisor to three active equity funds: Vanguard Explorer Fund, Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund - Small Company Growth Portfolio, and Vanguard Growth and Income Fund. T.

As part of the changes, ArrowMark Colorado Holdings and Los Angeles Capital Management will no longer advise certain funds, and expense ratios are expected to rise slightly for two of the funds, with no change for Explorer Fund. The funds' investment objectives and principal strategies remain unchanged.
