A. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the
valuation date. 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. Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have
been materially 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.
Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net
asset value. Temporary cash investments 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.

B. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited
extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market
while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures
contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate
portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The
primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect
correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and
the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated
clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To
further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an
exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and
clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing
brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure
the fund's performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin
representing changes in the market value of each contract. Any assets
pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of
Investments.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The
notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Schedule of

Investments. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded as an
asset (liability).

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). Any
investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the
Schedule of Investments.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund's investments
as of May 31, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 600,328
Temporary Cash Investments 50,945 996
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (263)
Total 651,010 996
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.
