A vanguard settlement fund is a fund where you have put money in so you can purchase Vanguard investments, such as mutual funds, stocks and bonds, ETFs, and retirement accounts such as Roth IRAs. A settlement fund is also where your money may go when you sell investments or receive dividends.

When you buy or sell stocks, and other securities, your transactions go through a broker, like Vanguard Brokerage. Money to pay for your purchases is taken from your settlement fund and proceeds from your sales are received in your settlement fund.
