About the cover: Our cover photograph shows rigging on the HMSSurprise, a replica of an 18th-century Royal Navy frigate. It was featured in the 2003 movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which was based on Patrick O’Brian’s sea novels, set amid the Napoleonic Wars. Vanguard was named for another ship of that era, the HMSVanguard, which was the flagship of British Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of the Nile.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, the Federal Reserve continued its efforts to stimulate the economy by pushing down interest rates. Its most recent attempt included yet another untraditional program of purchasing Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

Still, Treasury bond yields began moving up from the historically low levels they had hit over the summer. Demand for perceived safe-harbor investments such as Treasury securities slackened as investors grew more optimistic that Europe’s financial troubles were stabilizing. Declining demand lowered bond prices and raised yields, an effect that was most pronounced in longer-maturity bonds.

You can see this in the returns of Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund: As yields declined in the first half of the fiscal year, the fund returned a robust 8%, but those gains were erased as yields subsequently rose. For fiscal 2013 as a whole, the fund returned 0% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares. The effect was not as dramatic for the other U.S. Government Bond Funds because of their shorter maturities.

In the Treasury and Federal Funds, the impact of rising rates was mitigated somewhat by modest allocations to mortgage-backed securities, which performed relatively well during the period.

Bonds’ advance slowed; challenges may lie ahead
The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned a little more than 2.5% for the fiscal year. That modest result contrasts with the strong returns to which bond investors may have grown accustomed.

Bonds have been in a long-running bull market as prices climbed and yields tumbled for many years. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Indeed, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note slipped to a record low in July, closing below 1.5%. That trend later reversed, and the 10-year yield broke 2% in late January.

Bonds can provide critical diversification benefits to a portfolio, but their return prospects now look much less promising than in recent years. As yields have dropped, the opportunity for price appreciation has greatly diminished. (You can read more about our expectations for bond and stock returns in Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, available at vanguard.com/research.)

As for money market funds and savings accounts, their returns barely budged as the Federal Reserve held short-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%, a policy in place since late 2008.

Led by European shares, stocks saw double-digit returns
Global stock markets rose sharply in the 12 months ended January 31, with European equities delivering the most robust results. Investors seemed buoyed by progress in addressing fiscal challenges there and elsewhere.

European stocks gained about 20% even as many countries in the region continued to struggle with economic woes. This disparity isn’t as unusual as it may appear. Vanguard research has found that the relationship between a country’s economic growth and its stock market returns has typically been weak over time.

In the United States, attention to federal budget challenges intensified as 2012 drew to a close. The focus on the “fiscal cliff” led to investor anxiety before policymakers reached a limited tax rate agreement on the cusp of the new year. Although a credible long-term deficit-reduction strategy has yet to be crafted, investors propelled U.S. stocks to a 12-month gain of nearly 17%.

Interest income cushioned the drop in capital returns
It remains to be seen whether the uptick in yields that began in the summer will continue. But during the fiscal year, the funds’ income returns either matched

or surpassed the bond price declines associated with rising market yields. As a result, except for Investor Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund, all of the share classes of all of the funds produced positive results.

You may notice in the table on page 8 that SEC yields actually declined for most of the funds during the fiscal year. For the Treasury and Federal Funds, this resulted from some 2012 sales of higher-yielding mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as I’ll explain below.

I mentioned earlier that holdings of mortgage-backed securities played a role in boosting the returns of the Treasury and Federal Funds. The Treasury Funds took advantage of their ability to invest

a modest portion of assets in mortgage-backed securities; the Federal Fund, which invests a portion of its assets in mortgage securities, overweighted its typical position. The GNMA Fund, of course, concentrates on mortgage-backed securities, focusing on those whose principal and interest payments are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association and, ultimately, the full faith and credit of the federal government.

The appeal of mortgage securities has stemmed from the response by certain homeowners to the unusually low level of mortgage rates, a consequence of the general interest rate environment. These homeowners have been slow to refinance

their mortgages because of lenders’ tightened loan standards in the wake of the financial crisis. This has allowed the funds to focus with greater confidence on mortgage securities that offer more attractive coupon interest rates, as there is less chance that mortgage prepayments will accelerate and negatively affect their returns.

In the spring of 2012, the Treasury Funds began selling their mortgage securities at a profit, a process that was completed as the year drew to a close. The Federal Fund also lightened its position. The sales removed some higher-yielding securities from the funds’ portfolios, which produced a decline in their SEC yields when compared with

the levels a year earlier. (You can read how SEC yields are calculated in the Glossary of this report.) For the GNMA Fund, by contrast, the lower SEC yield was more a reflection of the strong demand for mortgage securities during the year.

When it announced its latest bond-buying program in September, the Federal Reserve said it would purchase every month—surprisingly, no end date was specified—$45 billion of mortgage securities (in addition to $40 billion of Treasury securities). All of the funds’ MBS holdings benefited from investors’ anticipation of these purchases, although the extent of the Fed’s plans was larger than the market expected.

The advisors’ skill has produced healthy long-term returns
The Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds generally performed well over the ten years ended January 31, 2013.

Among the Treasury and Federal Funds, which are advised by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group, returns for all but the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund have been in line with index benchmarks when you take into account operating costs. They also have surpassed the average returns of their peer groups. The GNMA Fund, advised by Wellington Management Company, performed similarly.

In producing these results, the funds have been aided not only by the skill of the advisors but also by Vanguard’s low expenses. Lower costs allow more of a fund’s earnings to be passed along to shareholders.

Following four principles can help investors succeed
Our clients often ask what they should do to cope with uncertainties in the market. How should they react? Should they do something different with their money?

The first point to keep in mind is that investing has always involved uncertainties. When asked what he thought the stock market would do, financier J. P. Morgan had a standard response: “It will fluctuate.”

In our view, the most sensible approach is to focus on what’s within your control. In short, we believe investors can give themselves a greater chance for success by acting on four key points:

Goals. What are you investing for? Each goal should be measurable and attainable. Getting there shouldn’t depend on outsize returns or impractical budgeting requirements.

Balance. After identifying your goals, pursue them through a balanced asset allocation using broadly diversified funds.

Cost. You won’t be surprised to hear that we place a big emphasis on controlling cost. The lower your costs, the greater your share of an investment’s return.

9

 

Discipline. Everything else depends on this; in the face of market turmoil, discipline and long-term perspective can help you stay on track toward reaching your goals.

Successful investing doesn’t have to be complicated, but that’s not to say it’s easy. Investing can provoke strong emotions, and it’s hard to stay level-headed during times of volatility. If you’re getting pulled off course, try to redirect your attention to the principles I’ve outlined. These principles—which reflect the core philosophy Vanguard has held for decades—can be the answer to uncertainty.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisors’ Report

For the Short-, Intermediate-, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund
For the 12 months ended January 31, 2013, returns for the U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from 0% for Investor Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund to 1.20% for Admiral Shares of Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund. The Short-Term Federal, Short-Term Treasury, and Long-Term Treasury Funds were in line with or ahead of their benchmarks; the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund was a step behind. Performance results were mixed compared with the average returns of competitive funds.

The investment environment
The past fiscal year was an extraordinary time, and central banks on both sides of the Atlantic responded with extraordinary measures.

The Federal Reserve continued its program of buying Treasury securities, designed to push down long-term interest rates in an effort to spur economic growth. Yields of these securities got an extra push lower as investors worried about the consequences of fiscal distress in Europe. Yields slid through midyear, only reversing course when progress seemed to be taking place among European policymakers. Of special

importance was a statement by the head of the European Central Bank to do “whatever it takes” to preserve the euro.

Yields continued to climb through the fall as a permanent Eurozone bailout fund was set up and the ECB pledged unlimited purchases of bonds, if needed, from the most financially vulnerable countries. Also in the fall, the Fed ramped up its stimulus program by adding mortgage-backed securities to its bond-buying program (and later promising to continue both programs into 2013). The rise in yields lost momentum toward year-end over uncertainties about the outcome of “fiscal cliff” negotiations.

In yet another novel wrinkle, involving its four-year-old policy of holding the shortest-term yields near zero, the Fed altered its communication approach. Instead of announcing specific time periods over which it would maintain its policy, the Fed now will link its plans to specific unemployment and inflation thresholds. The Fed has made clear that reaching a threshold doesn’t necessarily mean it will act if other economic conditions don’t warrant the move.

Management of the funds
After their decline and rebound, yields wound up only somewhat higher than where they started. Our funds reacted to the volatility of the yield curve (the spectrum of yields from shorter- to longer-maturity bonds) with a number of modest tactical moves in our duration and curve positioning. (The former policy focuses on interest rate expectations, the latter on the most attractive bond maturities to trade.)

In addition, the Treasury Funds entered the fiscal period with an allocation of assets to government mortgage-backed securities, which are backed by pools of residential mortgages. As their name implies, these funds emphasize Treasury notes and bonds, but from time to time we will allocate a limited portion of assets to mortgage securities. In the Short Term Federal Fund, which typically holds a portion of its assets in government mortgage-backed securities, we increased our investment allocation to that sector. We did so because the current market environment has kept the yields of these securities at attractive levels: Homeowners generally have been limited in their ability to refinance their mortgages to take advantage of the record low level of interest rates. As demand for mortgage-backed securities—including demand by investors anticipating Fed purchases—lifted prices, we found it more profitable to unwind our position, which we completed in the fall.

A good deal of economic uncertainty lies ahead. Risks from government, central bank, and regulatory policy changes will make the waters difficult to navigate. However, the investment environment should continue to offer occasional opportunities. Regardless

For the GNMA Fund
For the 12 months ended January 31, 2013, Investor Shares of the Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 1.35% and Admiral Shares returned 1.45%. The fund trailed its benchmark index and the average return of peer-group funds.

Investment environment
Risky assets performed well, aided by aggressive central bank actions, positive (albeit modest) economic growth in the United States, and reduced tail risks in Europe. The year was marked by important U.S. political events including the elections in November and the fiscal cliff negotiations, which kept markets on edge in December as disagreement threatened to push the economy back into recession. On January 1, the House of Representatives passed legislation averting tax increases for most U.S. taxpayers while delaying spending cuts.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) remained extremely accommodative throughout this period of fragile global economic recovery. The Federal Reserve announced plans to purchase additional mortgage-backed and Treasury securities (in a third round of quantitative easing, commonly referred to as QE3), significantly expanding the size of its balance sheet. Additionally, it adopted inflation and unemployment rate thresholds in place of its mid-2015 forward rate guidance, noting that it would keep rates unchanged for at least as long as unemployment remains above 6.5% and inflation projections stay near its 2% target.

U.S. economic reports generally showed modest improvement, highlighted by a recovery in the housing market. Home prices showed their first year-over-year gain (excluding short-term jumps caused by homebuyer tax credits) since late 2006, aided by increased home sales and reduced inventory. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate declined by 0.7 percentage point to 7.8% as the labor market continued its slow recovery. Manufacturing activity slowed over the year, while service sector growth improved and consumer confidence edged up amid a healing jobs market.

Mortgage-backed-securities performed well, supported by favorable supply/ demand dynamics and strong underlying fundamentals. Despite historically low

13

 

mortgage rates, refinancing difficulties for homeowners remained greater than in past years because of tighter mortgage underwriting standards, higher mortgage fees, and constrained lending capacity.

The Fed’s purchases in the sector of $40 billion per month combined with reinvestment of pay-downs (currently $25 billion to $35 billion per month) from existing securities on its balance sheet narrowed agency mortgage security yield spreads over Treasuries to historically low levels.

Fund successes
The fund continued to generate favorable returns versus alternative shorter-term investment vehicles. Security selection was the largest contributor to relative returns, as we continued to focus on those securities that are, in our view, least likely to refinance. The generally defensive duration stance we maintained aided fund performance when Treasury yields rose over the period.

Fund shortfalls
Our overweight allocation to seasoned GNMA mortgages originated prior to May 2009 underperformed, hurting the fund’s results. Insurance premiums on these mortgages were lower relative to underlying loans of more recently issued mortgage securities, which had the effect of accelerating prepayment speeds (the pace of homeowner refinancing).

Fund positioning
As we head further into 2013, we believe that more of the bond market’s returns will be driven by income as opposed to capital appreciation. In our view, GNMAs are priced close to fair value. However, we believe their yield advantage over Treasuries still offers compelling opportunities. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and Fed statements for guidance on the future of FOMC purchases of mortgage-backed securities.

GNMA prepayment risk remains relatively low in the face of tighter mortgage underwriting standards and higher costs to refinance, particularly for borrowers with lower credit scores and higher loan-to-value ratios. We continue to avoid securities backed by strong credit borrowers, as we remain concerned that they will refinance and pay back their mortgage loans earlier.

As a whole, we believe that mortgage-backed securities will continue to be attractive to investors seeking high-quality assets with excellent liquidity. However, like virtually all bond funds, this sector is exposed to interest rate risk. Since bond yields and bond prices move inversely, the potential for loss of principal exists if and when interest rates rise.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

25

 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold (Other Assets) or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased (Liabilities) in the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

8. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $862,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.34% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 6,277,341
Temporary Cash Investments 159,322

D. At January 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 861 113,033 (347)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 (50) (6,187) 18

 

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $5,912,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,409,546,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $27,117,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $30,206,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,089,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $10,984,319,000 of investment securities and sold $11,139,703,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

1 Securities with a value of $1,553,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.
2 The issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are generally neither guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury nor backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
3 The issuer was placed under federal conservatorship in September 2008; since that time, its daily operations have been managed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and it receives capital from the U.S. Treasury, as needed to maintain a positive net worth, in exchange for senior preferred stock.
4 The average or expected maturity is shorter than the final maturity shown because of the possibility of interim principal payments and prepayments or the possibility of the issue being called.

Short-Term Federal Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 9% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

41

 

Short-Term Federal Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

8. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

42

 

Short-Term Federal Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $779,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.31% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,433,386
Temporary Cash Investments 683,835

D. At January 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 2,908 640,987 (21)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 (3,686) (456,085) 168
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 290 38,072 (86)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond March 2013 43 6,169 (5)
Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond March 2013 6 939 1

 

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $10,501,000 from accumulated net realized gains, to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $1,155,000 and $1,768,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

The fund had realized losses totaling $427,000 through January 31, 2012, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,105,197,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,024,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $17,525,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,501,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $20,377,478,000 of investment securities and sold $20,493,097,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 8% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold (Other Assets) or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased (Liabilities) in the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

8. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $834,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.33% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,941,159
Temporary Cash Investments 78,571

D. At January 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 912 119,729 (369)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 (542) (119,469) (15)

 

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $5,024,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had $3,908,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,828,603,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $191,127,000 consisting of unrealized gains of $201,877,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $10,750,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $7,315,976,000 of investment securities and sold $7,808,318,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the year ended January 31, 2013.

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

GNMA Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard GNMA Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

72

 

GNMA Fund

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

8. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

GNMA Fund

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $5,380,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.15% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 38,744,804
Temporary Cash Investments 3,341,900
Futures Contracts—Assets1 365
Total 365 42,086,704
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

E. At January 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 3,897 511,603 (1,659)

 

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

GNMA Fund

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $45,668,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $6,271,000 and $27,410,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

The fund had realized losses totaling $49,935,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $41,027,263,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,059,441,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,196,923,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $137,482,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $51,788,849,000 of investment securities and sold $50,765,448,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 8% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

86

 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in written options on futures contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold (Other Assets) or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased (Liabilities) in the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

8. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

87

 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $493,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.20% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 3,373,715
Temporary Cash Investments 8,661

D. At January 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 (418) (92,136) (73)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 562 73,780 (89)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2013 5 619

 

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $12,061,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had long-term capital gains of $8,076,000 available for distribution.

The fund had realized losses totaling $1,812,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,051,366,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $331,010,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $371,381,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $40,371,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $3,883,010,000 of investment securities and sold $4,143,448,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard GNMA Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard GNMA Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.

A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.

Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.

Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

Distribution by Coupon. A breakdown of the securities in a fund according to coupon rate—the interest rate that an issuer promises to pay, expressed as an annual percentage of face value. Securities with unusually high coupon rates may be subject to call risk, the possibility that they will be redeemed (or “called”) early by the issuer.

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

96

 

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 180 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

About the cover: Our cover photograph shows rigging on the HMSSurprise, a replica of an 18th-century Royal Navy frigate. It was featured in the 2003 movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which was based on Patrick O’Brian’s sea novels, set amid the Napoleonic Wars. Vanguard was named for another ship of that era, the HMSVanguard, which was the flagship of British Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of the Nile.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Despite periods of heightened anxiety about the health of Spanish banks, “fiscal cliff” negotiations, and other troubling news, bond investors favored yield over safety in the 12 months ended January 31, 2013. This preference has become worryingly pronounced as the yields available from the safest securities hover near record lows.

High-yield bonds produced the highest returns, as investors bid up the prices of the riskiest assets. Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 11.91% for the 12-month period. (Unless otherwise noted, returns mentioned in this letter are for Investor Shares.) The fund’s strong performance nevertheless fell short of its comparative standards in part because of its limited exposure to bonds at the lowest end of the credit-quality spectrum.

The Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 3.48%, the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund 6.20%, and the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund 7.39%. All three investment-grade funds outpaced their peers on the strength of good security selection. While the short-term and intermediate-term funds underperformed their benchmark indexes, the long-term fund outperformed its benchmark index.

Bond prices rose, accounting for more than one-third of the total return for each of the four funds. Given that bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, the funds’ 30-day SEC yields were lower at the end of January 2013 than they were a year earlier.

Led by European shares, stocks saw double-digit returns
Global stock markets rose sharply in the 12 months ended January 31, with European equities delivering the most robust results. Investors seemed buoyed by progress in addressing fiscal challenges in Europe and elsewhere.

European stocks gained about 20% even as many countries in the region continued to struggle with economic woes. This disparity isn’t as unusual as it may appear. Vanguard research has found that the relationship between a country’s economic growth and its stock market returns has typically been weak over time.

In the United States, attention to federal budget challenges intensified as 2012 drew to a close. The focus on the “fiscal cliff” led to investor anxiety before policymakers reached a limited tax rate agreement on the cusp of the new year. Although a credible long-term deficit-

reduction strategy had yet to be crafted, investors propelled U.S. stocks to a gain of nearly 17% for the fiscal year.

Investors turn to riskier assets in search for more yield
There was very little income to be had from short-term securities and government bonds during the period. The Federal Reserve continued to drive down government bond rates as it intensified its efforts to spur growth and reduce stubbornly high unemployment. These moves helped push down yields of 5-, 10-, and 30-year U.S. Treasuries to record lows in July, though they inched up again after that. At the end of the 12-month period, the yield stood at 0.88% for 5-year, 1.99% for 10-year, and 3.17% for 30-year Treasuries.

As for short-term interest rates, there was virtually no room for them to move lower; the federal funds target rate for overnight borrowing has been held at 0% to 0.25% since December 2008.

The scarcity of income from short-term and high-quality bonds, along with tame inflation and the healthy finances of many companies, encouraged investors to venture into riskier corporate bonds offering more yield. Over the fiscal year, corporate profits reached record highs, balance sheets improved, and default rates remained relatively low.

in large part because of their longer durations and their security selection emphasizing credit quality. Compared with their benchmark indexes, however, the funds were tilted toward securities of higher credit quality and shorter maturities. Although that can be an advantage in more risk-averse markets, it contributed to both funds’ underperforming their indexes for the period. The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund outpaced both its benchmark and its peers.

Selection among financial securities was a strength for all three funds. Banks, brokerage houses, and insurance companies have rallied as policymakers in Europe and the United States have

helped rehabilitate the sector. Overall, returns of investment-grade financial bonds were about double those of industrial and utility bonds.

Among the four Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds, the High-Yield Corporate Fund posted the highest returns as investors favored riskier assets. The fund focuses on better-quality high-yield bonds, aiming to capture consistent income while avoiding defaults. Less than 4% of its holdings at the end of the fiscal year were rated lower than B, compared with about 17% for the benchmark; given that lower-quality bonds outperformed during this period, it’s not surprising that the fund lagged its benchmark and its peers. The fund’s shorter duration relative to its benchmark detracted as well.

Investment-grade funds outpaced peers over the decade
All four of the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds have far lower expense ratios than their peers do on average; in fact, their expense ratios are about one-fourth the average expense ratio of their peers. Low costs allow shareholders to keep more of their returns.

about 1 to 3 percentage points. This is a significant advantage over a relatively long compounding period. Compared with their index benchmarks, which incur no costs, the returns of the short-term and intermediate-term funds came up a little short, while the long-term fund outperformed.

The High-Yield Corporate Fund’s tilt toward better-quality bonds weighed on its relative ten-year performance. The fund fell just shy of the average annual return of its peer group and trailed that of its benchmark.

Bonds have been in a long-running bull market, as prices have climbed and yields tumbled over many years. Although bonds can provide critical diversification benefits to a portfolio, their return prospects look much less promising than they have in recent years. As yields have dropped, the opportunity for price appreciation has greatly diminished.

Following four principles
can help investors succeed
Our clients often ask what they should do to cope with uncertainties in the market. How should they react? Should they do something different with their money?

The first point to keep in mind is that investing has always involved uncertainties. The financier J.P. Morgan, when asked what he thought the stock market would do, had a standard response: “It will fluctuate.”

In our view, the most sensible approach is to focus on what’s within your control. In short, we believe investors can give themselves a greater chance for success by acting on four key points:

Goals. What are you investing for? Each goal should be measurable and attainable. Getting there shouldn’t depend on outsize returns, or on impractical budgeting requirements.

Balance. After identifying your goals, pursue them through a balanced asset allocation using broadly diversified funds.

7

 

Cost. You won’t be surprised to hear that we place a big emphasis on controlling cost. The lower your costs, the greater the share of an investment’s return that you keep.

Discipline. All the rest depends on this: In the face of market turmoil, discipline and long-term perspective can help you stay on track toward your goals.

Successful investing doesn’t have to be complicated, but that’s not to say it’s easy. Investing can provoke strong emotions, and it’s hard to stay levelheaded during times of volatility. If you’re getting pulled off course, try to redirect your attention to the principles I’ve outlined. These principles—which reflect the core philosophy Vanguard has held for decades—can be the answer to uncertainty.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Advisors’ Report

For the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds

Several factors contributed to the good performance from short- and intermediate-term corporate bonds for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. Inflation remained low, concrete steps were taken to tackle the European debt crisis, and corporate profits were strong again. The key factor, though, was further action by the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low. While the Fed’s intent was to spur economic growth by reducing borrowing costs, the move also made corporate bonds, with their higher yields, a more compelling choice for investors.

Investor Shares of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 3.48% for the year, while Admiral Shares returned 3.59% and Institutional Shares 3.62%. For the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Investor Shares returned 6.20% and Admiral Shares 6.30%. Both funds outpaced the average returns of their peer groups but lagged the results for their benchmark indexes.

The investment environment
Mixed signals about the outlook for growth both at home and abroad fueled volatility in the financial markets during the first part of the funds’ fiscal year. Important U.S. economic indicators improved, including consumer confidence, manufacturing activity, and employment, but then borrowing costs spiraled upward for Spain and Italy, and China’s economy looked possibly headed for a hard landing.

The European Central Bank’s intervention in the continent’s debt crisis helped calm nerves last summer. After the ECB earlier cut interest rates to record lows and provided liquidity to struggling banks through long-term refinancing operations, its president announced in July that it stood ready to do “whatever it takes” to preserve the euro. To back up the pledge, an “outright monetary transaction” program was put in place enabling the ECB, under certain conditions, to purchase unlimited amounts of sovereign bonds of Eurozone countries.

The central bank’s new role as the Eurozone’s lender of last resort went a long way toward reviving investors’ appetite for riskier assets. However, as the end of the year approached, nerves frayed a bit at the possibility that the U.S. economy, with its tentative recovery, might go over the “fiscal cliff.”

The U.S. bond market
Amid continuing high unemployment and modest inflation, the Federal Reserve took further extraordinary measures to stimulate the U.S. economy.

In September, it announced a program to support the housing market by purchasing $40 billion worth of agency mortgage-backed securities per month, with the aim of driving down mortgage rates. In January 2013, the Fed began buying $45 billion worth of longer-dated Treasuries per month. The 5-, 10-, and 30-year Treasury yields fell to record lows during the period. The federal funds target rate—the rate that banks charge one another for overnight loans—has little room to drop further, having been held at 0% to 0.25% since December 2008.

While much of the allure of corporate bonds stemmed from their very attractive yields compared with government bonds, there were other draws as well. Corporate profits hit record highs, even as their growth rate slackened a little. Companies retained large cash balances, giving them plenty of liquidity to service their debt. And default rates remained low.

Strong investor appetite pushed corporate and Treasury yields to record lows during the period, while their average spread (the difference between their yields) narrowed by 68 basis points. At the same time, issuance was high as corporate borrowers took advantage of the exceptionally low interest rates and the market’s willingness to extend them credit. Much of the new issuance involved refinancing debt at a lower cost rather than increasing borrowers’ debt burden—a positive development for bondholders.

Management of the funds
For both funds, portfolio positioning and security selection were the primary drivers of performance. The funds’ allocation to bonds of financial institutions contributed significantly to relative performance. As Europe’s debt crisis began to look less dire, investors turned to riskier securities, with financials seeing the most interest. Shrugging off rating agency downgrades on a number of large banks, financials returned more than 10% for the period, roughly double the returns of industrials and utilities.

Early in the fiscal year, both funds also added exposure to bonds at the lower end of the investment-grade credit spectrum. This tilt helped performance, as lower-quality bonds significantly outperformed higher-quality ones.

The funds’ returns were held back by their holdings in shorter-maturity bonds. The prices of these bonds are less sensitive to potential changes in interest rates, but they returned less than their counterparts with

11

 

longer maturities (and higher yields). Allocations to Treasuries provided liquidity to both funds and helped dampen volatility, but these low-yielding, “risk-free” securities contributed little in the way of returns this time around.

With interest rates so low, it’s difficult to see how returns can be as strong going forward as they have been in the past. Yet we believe that many factors supportive of corporate bonds will remain in place. The economy seems unlikely in the near term to grow at a pace that will fuel inflation or lead the Fed to reverse its accommodative monetary policy. Demand is likely to remain strong from yield-starved investors, while issuance may decrease, as many corporations have already locked in low borrowing costs through refinancing.

As for sectors, we still see relative value in financials despite their recent gains. And we are confident that even in a low-yield environment, our deep bench of credit analysts, traders, and portfolio managers can add value to the funds through security selection and portfolio positioning.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2013, the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 7.39% for Investor Shares and 7.49% for Admiral Shares, about 1 percentage point more than its benchmark index (+6.35%). The fund’s return was more than 2 percentage points above the average return of its peer funds (+4.95%), though the comparison is not a perfect one, given that many of those peers hold more shorter-maturity bonds.

The investment environment
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, fixed income markets were buoyed by accommodative monetary policy, tame inflation, and global recession fears, which limited the upward pressure on yields across high-grade bond sectors. Corporate fundamentals, while still strong, deteriorated modestly, as evidenced by an uptick in leverage ratios; the economic drag of tighter government fiscal policy may pressure them further. Demand for corporate bonds remained strong in a low-yield environment with a limited supply of fixed income securities. In addition, central bank purchases of sovereign debt—and in the Federal Reserve’s case, purchases of mortgage-backed securities as well—are crowding investors out of assets perceived to have less risk and into investment-grade corporates. Corporate pension plans remained a source of demand for corporate debt as they implement liability driven investment strategies.

Generally positive U.S. economic data, led by housing, outweighed any lackluster earnings reports and corporate outlooks. The housing recovery gained momentum; home prices rose 4.3% in calendar 2012 over the previous year, supported by improving sales volume and reduced inventory. The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8% as the labor market healed further. But manufacturing contracted and consumer sentiment took a hit as Americans grew more concerned about the looming “fiscal cliff.”

Financials outperformed other broad sectors by a healthy margin. Higher-beta and lower-quality corporate bonds outperformed other sectors on an excess return basis as investor optimism increased. Later in the year, the mood was helped by the Fed’s announcement that it would continue quantitative easing through open-ended bond purchases, as well as by expectations that tax cuts would be extended for most U.S. taxpayers.

We remained positive about the investment-grade corporate bond market throughout the period. Solid credit fundamentals (though they were deteriorating on the margin), positive supply-and-demand dynamics, and our belief that the U.S. economy would keep recovering all supported better relative valuations for financials, and our positions in the fund reflected that view.

The fund’s successes
For the fiscal year, the long-term fund outpaced its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index, which includes top-quality (rated A or above by Moody’s) corporate and international dollar-denominated bonds with maturities of 10 years or more. The fund also finished ahead of the average return of its peer group.

Overall, strong issuer and bond selection drove the fund’s favorable returns compared with the benchmark. Our strongest areas included banking, in which an overweight allocation complemented our favorable security selection decisions. Financial metrics at banks improved further on declines in credit costs and nonperforming loans, maintenance of strong liquidity profiles, and improving commercial loan demand. Issues in Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Bank of America were standout holdings for the fund.

An underweight allocation to information technology added to relative results, as the shift from personal computers to tablets was expected to challenge certain business models. Our security selection within IT was also favorable.

The fund’s shortfalls
The fund’s underweight allocation to sovereign bonds modestly detracted from relative performance. Investor optimism improved after international lenders granted debt relief to Greece in the form

13

 

of maturity extensions and lower interest payments, and emerging markets benefited as monetary policies were eased to support growth.

Although our security selection within the sector was strong, our underweight allocation to the issues of foreign and local governments, which include taxable municipal bonds, detracted from relative performance. We view taxable municipal bonds favorably, but low-volume issuance in the primary market made it challenging to source enough of those bonds to materially affect a fund of this size.

Our overweight allocation to consumer noncyclical bonds was favorable, but our security selection within the sector was less helpful. Our holdings in issues from Mondele¯z International, AstraZeneca, Wyeth, Merck, and SABMiller weighed on the fund’s relative returns.

The fund’s positioning
The timing, pace, and magnitude of an eventual upturn in interest rates will determine how fixed income markets perform in the coming years and may eventually contribute to negative total returns. Even so, the pressures that kept yields low in recent years—accommodative monetary policies, subdued inflation, and global recession fears—remain in force as of this writing.

The fund‘s position in long-term investment-grade bonds with excellent call protection should contribute to income stability. The major risks to the fund are, of course, that long-term interest rates will rise or corporate bond risk premiums will widen, or both. We do not foresee imminent sharp and sudden rises in interest rates, but they have already started to drift above their recent historical lows. Interest rates have been falling for years; although this has generously benefited holders of all categories of fixed income securities, it’s unlikely to persist indefinitely. Holders of long bonds in particular are especially vulnerable to the unfavorably asymmetrical interplay between interest rate risk and return potential at this point in the cycle. The modest current portfolio yield must therefore be regarded as a better estimate of future performance than past returns.

We remain confident about the outlook for investment-grade bonds given strong credit fundamentals, supportive supply-and-demand dynamics, and attractive valuations.

We also expect improvement in the U.S. economy in the year ahead and continued accommodative monetary policies in both the United States and Europe.

The fund generally purchases bonds of large, well-established companies with stable operating histories. We do not own foreign bonds denominated in non-U.S. currencies.

The fund is positioned with a tilt toward higher-quality bonds and continues to overweight the banking sector because of its relatively attractive valuations and

14

 

improving fundamentals. The fund closed the period underweighted in basic industries, technology, and capital goods.

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, Vanguard High Yield Corporate Fund returned 11.91% for Investor Shares and 12.02% for Admiral Shares, compared with the 13.91% return for the benchmark index.

The investment environment
During the period, lower-quality bonds handily outperformed higher-quality ones, as investors continued to reach for yield. Caa-rated bonds returned 17.4%, B-rated bonds 13.4%, and Ba-rated bonds 12.7%. The spread of the high-yield market, as expressed by the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, compressed significantly, from 643 basis points over U.S. Treasuries at the end of January 2012 to 477 basis points at the end of January 2013.

New issuance reached a record high in 2012, with more than $365 billion of new supply. Importantly, issuers continued to exercise restraint in their borrowing

behavior, emphasizing balance-sheet repair over more aggressive activity such as share repurchases, special dividends, and leveraged acquisitions or buyouts. More than 50% of the gross proceeds raised in 2012 were for refinancing, a creditor-friendly trend that has been solidly in place since 2009. In contrast, proceeds targeted for shareholder-friendly activity totaled just 22%. In the past, elevated default cycles have typically occurred only after several years in which aggressive borrowing exceeded 40% of the total. From this perspective, the high-yield market remains balanced and shows no immediate signs of fundamental credit deterioration.

Indeed, both ratings actions and default forecasts are benign. After significant net positive ratings-agency credit upgrades in 2010 and 2011, the pace of upgrades slowed in 2012 but remained positive. Bonds rated Caa and below accounted for 19% of the market at the end of January 2013, a ratio that has been on the decline since peaking in late 2009 at 30%. Likewise, Moody’s Investors Service is forecasting the default rate to decline to 2.7% in 2013 from a realized default rate of 3.2% in 2012. These figures are still well below long-term averages of 4.1%.

By and large, high-yield issuers enjoy healthy credit profiles, having maintained strong gross margins and interest coverage ratios through 2012. Given that we expect the U.S. gross domestic product to expand modestly in 2013, we believe that most

15

 

high-yield companies will be able to sustain these profiles. Nonetheless, we are watching a couple of emerging trends: Leverage ratios have ticked up in the last year, and cash balances have fallen moderately. Our market view would worsen if these trends persisted in 2013.

Thanks to strong retail and institutional demand for the asset class, the average yield of the high-yield market set a record low of 5.9% at the end of January 2013, having compressed from 7.5% a year earlier. Over the same period, the average dollar price of the high-yield market rose from $100 to $105, a record high. At this price, we believe the high-yield market has limited room for capital appreciation, as the individual underlying bond instruments have become call-constrained. Further, we see a moderate challenge from rising U.S. Treasury yields this year that may become even more significant later on. We believe overall market valuation fully reflects the positive underlying fundamentals, and we are exercising caution in 2013.

The fund’s successes
The fund benefited from positive security selection in financials and consumer products, from an overweighting of financials, and from an underweighting of energy.

The fund’s shortfalls
The fund’s cash holdings hurt relative performance. Underweighting of the homebuilding sector also detracted, as did security selection in the wireless and utility sectors.

The fund’s positioning
The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a significant exposure to relatively higher-quality names in the high-yield market. We believe these credits have more consistent businesses and more predictable cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum. By preferring higher-quality credits, we aim to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry and deemphasize non-cash-paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity-linked securities such as convertibles because of their potential for volatility.

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers three classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

32

 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. Swap Contracts: The fund may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk for all types of swaps is that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

amount of unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. This risk is mitigated by entering into swaps only with highly rated counterparties, by a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has posted. Any securities posted as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average notional amounts. The average amount of interest rate swaps represented 6% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

5. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

6. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $5,720,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.29% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

At January 31, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $59,987,000 in connection with open swap contracts. In the event of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, the fund may sell or retain the securities, however such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $33,029,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $12,092,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $18,739,000 and $70,496,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $111,103,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2013.

The fund had realized losses totaling $14,441,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $41,868,967,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $651,442,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $853,631,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $202,189,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $22,759,802,000 of investment securities and sold $21,122,969,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $11,144,472,000 and $9,670,718,000, respectively.

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

56

 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices.

The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. Swap Contracts: The fund may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid

57

 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

debt instrument. A risk for all types of swaps is that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay amounts due to the fund. Upon a counterparty default, a fund’s risk of loss, or exposure, is the amount of unrealized appreciation on the swap plus the cost of initiating a new swap with a new counterparty. The fund attempts to mitigate this risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, monitoring exposure to counterparties, and requiring counterparties to post collateral to secure such exposure. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has posted. Any securities posted as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts. The average amount of interest rate swaps represented 5% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

5. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $2,656,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.06% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

At January 31, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $82,221,000 in connection with open swap contracts. In the event of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, the fund may sell or retain the securities, however such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $39,780,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $12,107,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $21,533,000 and $137,476,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

The fund had realized losses totaling $9,123,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $18,170,872,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,082,125,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,199,097,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $116,972,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $10,073,252,000 of investment securities and sold $7,883,663,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $3,281,748,000 and $2,957,230,000, respectively.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long futures contracts represented 2% of net assets, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values. The fund had no open futures contracts at January 31, 2013.

3. Swap Contracts: The fund may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit exposure of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit exposure to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk for all types of swaps is that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay amounts due to the fund. Upon a counterparty default, a fund’s risk of loss, or exposure, is the amount of unrealized appreciation on the swap plus the cost of initiating a new swap with a new counterparty. The fund attempts to mitigate this risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, monitoring exposure to counterparties, and requiring counterparties to post collateral to secure such exposure. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has posted. Any securities posted as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 6% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

4. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

6. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

7. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $1,873,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.75% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 341,063

G. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $16,398,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $9,564,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $10,000 and $52,214,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,606,474,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,812,251,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,881,224,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $68,973,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

H. During the year ended January 31, 2013, the fund purchased $3,448,959,000 of investment securities and sold $1,892,891,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $904,400,000 and $761,108,000, respectively.

High-Yield Corporate Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, the fund may sell or retain the collateral; however, such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Prior to May 23, 2012, fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares were credited to paid-in capital.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

High-Yield Corporate Fund

B. Wellington Management Company, llp, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $2,472,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.99% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 235,868
Corporate Bonds 17,055,415
Preferred Stocks 283,988
Other 770
Temporary Cash Investments 630,100
Total 283,988 17,921,383 770

 

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

For tax purposes, the fund used capital loss carryforwards of $362,185,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2013. At January 31, 2013, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $577,285,000 to offset future net capital gains of $167,565,000 through January 31, 2017, and $409,720,000 through January 31, 2018.

At January 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $16,875,982,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,330,159,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,384,532,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $54,373,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.

A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.10% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.

Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.

Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

104

 

R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 180 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

     In the event of a contingency situation in which the principal accountant is needed to provide services in between scheduled Audit Committee meetings, the Chairman of the Audit Committee would be called on to consider and, if appropriate, pre-approve audit or permitted non-audit services in an amount sufficient to complete services through the next Audit Committee meeting, and to determine if such services would be consistent with maintaining the accountant’s independence. At the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting, services and fees would be presented to the Audit Committee for formal consideration, and, if appropriate, approval by the entire Audit Committee. The Audit Committee would again consider whether such services and fees are consistent with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

     The Registrant’s Audit Committee is informed at least annually of all audit and non-audit services provided by the principal accountant to the Vanguard complex, whether such services are provided to: (1) the Registrant; (2) The Vanguard Group, Inc.; (3) other entities controlled by The Vanguard Group, Inc. that provide ongoing services to the Registrant; or (4) other registered investment companies in the Vanguard Group.

     (2) No percentage of the principal accountant’s fees or services were approved pursuant to the waiver provision of paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) For the most recent fiscal year, over 50% of the hours worked under the principal accountant’s engagement were not performed by persons other than full-time, permanent employees of the principal accountant.

(g) Aggregate Non-Audit Fees.

Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2013: $506,518
Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2012: $389,830

Includes fees billed for non-audit services provided to the Registrant, The Vanguard Group, Inc., Vanguard Marketing Corporation, and other registered investment companies in the Vanguard Group.

(h) For the most recent fiscal year, the Audit Committee has determined that the provision of all non-audit services was consistent with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
