Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund returned 11.22% for Investor Shares and 11.29% for Admiral Shares. The fund’s benchmark, the Wellesley Income Composite Index, returned 10.32%. The composite index reflects the fund’s target allocation of 65% bonds and 35% stocks.
For the decade ended September 30, 2021, the fund had annualized returns of 7.97% for Investor Shares and 8.05% for Admiral Shares, ahead of the benchmark’s 7.46%.
The global economy rebounded faster than many had expected after the pandemic-induced contraction in the spring of 2020. Countries that have been more successful in containing the virus have generally fared better economically. Swift and extensive fiscal and monetary support from policymakers has also been key to the rebound.
Bond yields moved higher across much of the developed world during the fiscal year amid concerns about inflation and the prospect of central banks scaling back their bond-buying programs or raising interest rates. Stock returns were excellent for the year, reflecting the recovery following the sharp downturn at the start of the pandemic.
The fixed income portfolio benefited from security selection, particularly among industrial issuers. Asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities also helped performance.
Within the equity portfolio, the industrial and health care sectors contributed most to relative performance.

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2021, Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund returned 11.22% for Investor Shares and 11.29% for the lower-cost Admiral Shares. The composite benchmark, which is weighted 65% Bloomberg U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index and 35% FTSE High Dividend Yield Index, returned 10.32%.
The investment environment
For the fiscal year, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned 30.00%, the MSCI World Index returned 29.39%, and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 25.73%. Within the U.S., value outperformed growth, as the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 35.01% and the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 27.32%.
U.S. fixed income markets generated mixed returns, with lower quality sectors outperforming higher quality. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned –0.90% for the period, with rising Treasury yields driving the negative total returns. The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note closed at 1.49%, up from 0.68% the previous year.
U.S. equities rose in the first half of 2021, amid improving vaccination rates, accelerating economic growth, and a broader reopening of the economy. Inflation rose sharply as robust demand for goods and services, along with significant global supply-chain disruptions, drove consumer and producer prices sharply higher. The U.S. Federal Reserve held steadfast in its view that elevated price pressures should prove transitory, but it also rattled markets by considerably
raising its inflation forecast for 2021 and signaling the potential for two interest-rate hikes in 2023. For equities, this hawkish shift in expectations triggered a shift from value and cyclically sensitive stocks to growth stocks toward the end of the second quarter. In the fixed income markets, yields rose significantly, offsetting positive price appreciation from spread tightening, and spread sectors generally outperformed duration-equivalent government bonds.
U.S. equities continued to climb in the third quarter against a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy, robust corporate earnings, and strong demand for goods and services; risk sentiment was pressured by anxiety about rising inflation, imminent policy normalization, moderating economic growth, and uncertainty about fiscal stimulus and the federal debt ceiling. Growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for that quarter; at the end of September, however, surging Treasury yields sparked a sharp sell-off in shares of large technology companies, which in turn triggered a powerful shift to value stocks. The proliferation of the Delta variant weighed on consumer confidence and dampened reopening momentum. For the year, investment-grade corporate bonds generated positive excess return of 5.93% while high-yield corporate spreads generated positive excess return of 12.51%, according to Bloomberg Index data.
Following its deterioration in calendar year 2020, the U. S. labor market data steadily

improved at the beginning of the period and generally continued to strengthen throughout the fiscal year. The housing market was strong, thanks to low mortgage rates, scarce supply, and supportive demographics.
Globally, economic activity was strong. The Eurozone PMI (purchasing managers index) recovered to three-year highs early in 2021 as stronger export demand supported new order growth. Global inflation data continued to firm throughout the period, driven by supply chain bottlenecks and pent-up consumer demand.
The fund’s successes
The Wellesley Income Fund’s fixed income portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index, primarily because of security selection. Our selection in investment-grade corporate bonds, particularly industrials (consumer noncyclical, consumer cyclical, communications), drove the outperformance. Security selection within taxable municipals, financials and utilities also helped results, as did modest out-of-benchmark allocations to asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
On the equity side, strong selection within industrials, health care, and information technology helped relative performance; so did an overweight allocation to real estate and an underweight allocation to communication services. From the perspective of individual stocks, an out-of-benchmark
position in Blackstone, not holding benchmark constituent Amgen, and an overweight position in ConocoPhillips contributed most.
The fund’s shortfalls
In the fixed income portfolio, an underweight credit spread duration position detracted most from relative returns. Modest allocations to agency MBS, particularly collateralized mortgage obligations and agency pass-throughs, also held back results slightly.
The equity portfolio underperformed the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index for the period. Selection within real estate, financials, and energy detracted, as did our underweight position in energy and overweight position in health care. In terms of individual stocks, not holding benchmark constituents Exxon Mobil and Wells Fargo, along with an overweight position in Lockheed Martin, detracted most.
The fund’s positioning
We believe growth is likely peaking, driven by fiscal stimulus and reopening-linked demand. However, pent-up demand and household savings should continue support above-trend near-term growth. The $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, if passed by the House, will provide a notable boost for the transportation and other infrastructure sectors. The reconciliation bill will likely face more debate, and the total amount for both bills is expected to be significantly lower than the $3.5 trillion requested in President Biden’s original proposed plan. Additional
4

stimulus will likely be funded by higher corporate and personal taxes, which may offset some of the growth benefit.
The transitory nature of inflation remains in question, as supply-side disruptions are likely to persist and become a major source of inflationary pressure that could last until mid-2022. Fiscal and monetary support has resulted in substantial spread compression; further meaningful spread compression is more limited but the search for yield remains supportive. While recent datapoints are positive, COVID-19 variants and future waves remain a risk to global growth. China’s regulatory reforms and weakening growth impulse are also a source of risk.
On the fixed income side, we are biased toward higher rates through next year, based on improving macro conditions, sticky inflation prints, and higher net Treasury issuance. The Fed has changed its tone to indicate a less dovish reaction function. A pull forward of its anticipated tapering and tightening timelines is likely.
U.S. government bonds continue to be a source of liquidity for the portfolio. We continue to hold a modest out-of-benchmark allocation to agency MBS but are more cautious on the sector. We are positive on the securitized sectors. Housing fundamentals remain strong, and home price appreciation has surprised to the upside, which is supportive for mortgage credit performance. The strong economic recovery bodes well for commercial real estate fundamentals, although challenges remain in certain retail, office, and lodging
segments. Fundamentals remain strong for collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), as the default rate for bank loans has reached an all-time low and CLO valuation is compelling relative to other high-quality credit assets. Traditional ABS sectors like auto loans and credit cards remain well protected, although valuations are less attractive here compared with other securitized sectors.
Investment-grade corporate credit remains the primary investment focus for the fixed income portion of the portfolio. Credit fundamentals have improved dramatically throughout 2021, but further improvement is likely limited. The main risks to corporate fundamentals are debt-funded share repurchases and inflationary pressures on operating margins. M&A also poses a risk, although several recent actions from the Biden administration may limit the potential for large-scale transactions. The technical environment for credit remains strong.
On a fully hedged basis, U.S. fixed income remains attractive to foreign buyers. From a sector perspective, we have a preference for financials over industrials broadly. Within financials, we favor well-capitalized global banks that have strong balance sheets, are subject to hefty regulatory oversight, and benefit from improving global growth. Within industrials, we remain positive on the steady free-cash-flow profile of the communications sector. We are negative on the valuations of the more cyclical sectors such as energy and basic materials. In noncorporate credit, we
5

remain overweight to taxable municipals, as we think this sector still provides diversification and a broad selection of high-quality issuers. From a credit-curve standpoint, we see value in 7- to 10-year bonds, as the roll-down potential here is attractive given the steepness of the spread curve. In light of tight risk valuations and continued tail risks to markets, we maintain a robust liquidity profile.
On the equity side, the portfolio’s net purchases were most notable in financials, energy, and consumer staples, while net sales were most notable in communication services, health care, and information technology. We have used weakness to upgrade the quality of the portfolio as companies with strong balance sheets and competitively advantaged positions sell off or lag in the short term. Our primary focus is still on consistently improving the downside protection of the portfolio while favoring companies that will also have the potential to perform well in strong market environments.
We ended the 12 months most overweight in industrials, health care, and consumer staples, and most underweight in materials, information technology, and consumer discretionary. Notable purchases included Pioneer Natural Resources, Kimberly-Clark, Johnson Controls, and Koninklijke Philips. Notable eliminations included Intel, Blackstone, VF, and Sanofi.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.16% 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 (183/365).

Wellesley Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Wellesley Income 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. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.
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. Market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have had a global impact, and uncertainty exists as to the long-term implications. Such disruptions can adversely affect assets of the fund and thus fund performance.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. 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. Bonds and 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.
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, as furnished by independent pricing services.
Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. 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
48

Wellesley Income Fund
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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearing house 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 securities 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 gains (losses) on futures contracts.
During the year ended September 30, 2021, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency 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 pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 gains (losses) on forward currency contracts.
49

Wellesley Income Fund
During the year ended September 30, 2021, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open forward currency contracts at September 30, 2021.
5. 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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its MSFTA, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the MSFTA.
6. 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 also enters 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.
7. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty's default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any
50

Wellesley Income Fund
repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
8. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. The fund’s tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal and state income tax years, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
9. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis at the fiscal year-end and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
10. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Collateral investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are subject to market appreciation or depreciation. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
11. Credit Facilities and Interfund Lending Program: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group ("Vanguard") participate in a $4.3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement and an uncommitted credit facility provided by Vanguard. Both facilities may be renewed annually. Each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facilities. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. With respect to the committed credit facility, the participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn committed amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under either facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (or an acceptable alternate rate, if necessary), federal funds
51

Wellesley Income Fund
effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread, except that borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility may bear interest based upon an alternate rate agreed to by the fund and Vanguard.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the SEC, the fund may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program that allows registered open-end Vanguard funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one business day’s notice. The interest rate to be charged is governed by the conditions of the Order and internal procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board of trustees is responsible for overseeing the Interfund Lending Program.
For the year ended September 30, 2021, the fund did not utilize the credit facilities or the Interfund Lending Program.
12. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities that are amortized to the earliest call date. 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.
Taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the fund’s understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and rates. Deferred foreign capital gains tax, if any, is accrued daily based upon net unrealized gains. The fund has filed tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in certain European Union countries. These filings are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. Such tax reclaims received during the year, if any, are included in dividend income. No other amounts for additional tax reclaims are reflected in the financial statements due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment.
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. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the fund’s performance relative to a combined index comprising the Bloomberg U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index and the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index for the preceding three years. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.05% of the fund’s average net assets, before a net increase of $5,924,000 (0.01%) based on performance.
52

Wellesley Income Fund
C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds' Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees and are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2021, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $2,247,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.90% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. 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 and derivatives valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2021, based on the inputs used to value them:

F. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions and distributions in connection with fund share redemptions were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the deferral of losses from wash sales; the deferral of losses from straddles; and the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from certain derivative

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund (the "Fund") as of September 30, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2021, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2021 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from the transfer agent or brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with Wellington Management Company llp (Wellington Management). The board determined that renewing the fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year that directed the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.
The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year during advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.
In addition, the board received periodic reports throughout the year, which included information about the fund’s performance relative to its peers and benchmark, as applicable, and updates, as needed, on the Portfolio Review Department’s ongoing assessment of the advisor.
Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board reviewed the quality of the fund’s investment management services over both the short and long term and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board considered that Wellington Management, founded in 1928, is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional managers. The fund seeks long-term growth of income, a high and sustainable level of current income, and moderate long-term capital appreciation by investing in high-quality bonds and stocks. Asset allocation changes are made gradually in response to changes in relative valuations between asset classes. For the fixed income portion of the fund, Wellington Management uses fundamental research to invest in investment-grade debt. For the equity portion, the advisor seeks to invest in large-capitalization companies with an attractive dividend yield relative to the market, below-average valuations, and stable or improving businesses. Wellington Management has advised the fund since its inception in 1970.
The board concluded that the advisor’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.
59

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance compared with a relevant benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue.
Cost
The board concluded that the fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the fund’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average.
The board did not consider the profitability of Wellington Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee because Wellington Management is independent of Vanguard and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations.
The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the fund’s shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of breakpoints in the fund’s advisory fee schedule. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

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.
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 212 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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.
