In Rare Move, Vanguard Beefs Up International Exposure In Target Date Funds
FYI: The Vanguard Group Inc. is beefing up its target date fund lineup with an institutional share class. It is simultaneously making what could be described as a market call with allocation shifts of 10 percentage points to international from domestic stock and bond allocations.

I wonder if Vanguard will do something similar with its Managed Payout Fund (VPGDX). That seems to be allocated about 30% to foreign - there's 20% in the Global Min Volatility Fund VMVFX (about 1/2 foreign), 15% Total Int'l (VGTSX), and 5% Emerging Markets Index (VEIEX).
