CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

Over the course of the fiscal half-year, the U.S. bond market featured an atypical dichotomy in bond yields—yields generally rose at the short end of the maturity spectrum, while they fell at the long end. In this environment, the Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds posted total returns that ranged from 0.5% for the Investor Shares of the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund to 2.8% for the Admiral Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund.

The funds’ results were generally in line with the results of their benchmark indexes. All except the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund surpassed the returns for their average peers. The table on page 2 shows six-month total returns (capital change plus reinvested distributions) for the funds and their comparative measures. See page 6 for a table showing each fund’s starting and ending share price, together with distributions to shareholders.

Reflecting trends in the broad bond market, yields rose in the half-year for all but one fund—the Long-Term Treasury Fund—with the largest increases occurring at the shorter end of the maturity range. The yield changes ranged from an increase of 0.62 percentage point for the Short-Term Treasury Fund’s Admiral Shares to a decrease of 0.20 percentage point for the Long-Term Treasury Fund’s Investor Shares. The annualized 30-day yield for each fund’s Investors Shares as of July 31 is shown in the table on page 4.

THE BOND MARKET REMAINED DISENGAGED

Short-term interest rates continued steadily upward, nudged by the Federal Reserve Board, but long-term rates vacillated for most of the period, with low yields frustrating the Fed’s efforts to make borrowing more costly. July may have marked a turn, as yields jumped sharply

across the maturity spectrum—a signal that inflation fears may have started to trouble bond investors.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which reflects the taxable investment-grade U.S. bond market, returned a modest 0.9% during the six months. U.S. government securities and mortgage-backed debt outperformed corporate securities. Tax-exempt bonds did best.

The Federal Reserve raised the target federal funds rate in four equal steps, leaving it at 3.25% at the end of the period. The yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill moved in sync, closing the period at 3.39%. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note finished at 4.28%, an increase of 15 basis points (0.15 percentage point) over the six months. The yield of the 30-year Treasury bond fell 12 basis points to 4.47%.

STOCKS FOLLOWED THE MERCURY IN A SUMMER RALLY

The U.S. stock market struggled during the early spring, but then seemed to follow the thermometer upward in May, June, and July. The broad market gained about 7% during the period.

For the first half of the period, investors remained cautious, even as the U.S. economy drummed out good news on gross domestic product growth, the housing market, and job creation. Such gains were offset, in investors’ eyes, by skepticism that economic

2


growth could be sustained in the face of escalating energy costs and rising short-term interest rates. But as the period wore on and corporate earnings reports came in surprisingly strong, investors became increasingly convinced that the economy was in sound shape. Returns were similar for growth and value stocks. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks outperformed larger companies during the half-year, continuing recent trends. International stocks outperformed their U.S. counterparts; however, a strengthening U.S. dollar wiped out that edge for U.S.-based investors.



AdmiralShares

A lower-cost class of shares available to many longtime shareholders and to those with significant investments in the fund.

Institutional Shares

This class of shares also carries low expenses and is available for a minimum investment of $5 million.


IN AN UNUSUAL MARKET, THE FUNDS GENERALLY MET THEIR OBJECTIVES

The fixed income market was a study in contrasts during the period. The yields of short-term bonds rose sharply (and prices declined), while the opposite phenomenon unfolded among longer-term securities. Although the interest-rate dynamics were unusual, the Government Bond Funds responded to this peculiar environment as expected. Each fund achieved its goal of providing a level of income that corresponded with its mandated average maturity and security type.

*Annualized

The Short-Term Treasury and Short-Term Federal Funds’ Investor Shares both posted 0.6% returns, surpassing their respective indexes and peer groups by a small margin. As the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy pushed short-term rates higher over the six months, the yields of both funds rose significantly, enhancing their prospective returns, but the immediate impact was a modest decline in share prices.

3


The Inflation-Protected Securities Fund saw its share price fall by about –1.9%, as investors placed a slightly lower value on the securities’ built-in inflation hedge, but the fund’s 2.1% income return more than offset its capital decline for the six months. The fund’s 0.5% return was in line with the return of its benchmark and topped the average result for its peer group. In June, the fund began offering Admiral Shares to investors who meet the criteria for this lower-cost share class.

Both share classes of the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund returned 0.7%, a bit below the return of the fund’s benchmark and nearly 1 percentage point below the average return for its peers. As we have noted in the past, this fund’s interest-rate sensitivity is not a good match with those of its benchmark and peers, a factor that diminishes the significance of the comparisons (this is equally true in periods when the fund has outperformed). During the past six months, the fund’s positioning was a modest drawback in relative terms.

Both share classes of the GNMA Fund earned a 1.1% return, equaling the benchmark’s result and surpassing that of the average peer. This fund is generally more sensitive to interest-rate variations than are Treasury funds of similar maturity. The fund’s advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP, has navigated the unsettled rate environment with aplomb.

The Long-Term Treasury Fund’s Investor Shares posted a 2.7% return, falling just shy of the return of the index benchmark and surpassing the return of the fund’s peer group.

Six-month returns tell only half the story of bond fund performance. That’s because the return figures include the full impact of price changes, but just a half-year’s worth of interest income. For that reason, we offer the table on page 4 summarizing the funds’ 12-month performance.

An important element of the funds’ competitive results in the current period, as always, was the skill of the investment advisors: Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group, which manages the three Treasury funds, the Short-Term Federal Fund, and the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund; and Wellington Management, which oversees the GNMA Fund. Also critically important were the funds’ extremely low operating costs. These low costs ensure that your fund can pass along a larger share of its gross return to you.

DON’T DISCOUNT THE VALUE OF BONDS

The past six months have been a somewhat perplexing time for bond market investors, with short-term rates rising and long-term rates moving lower. However, as I’ve counseled on many previous occasions, the wisest course of action is usually to simply stand fast.

In any situation, bonds remain an important component of a long-term portfolio, offering both risk control and diversification benefits. The lower volatility of bonds’ returns can mitigate the effects of the stock market’s unpredictability. For investors who seek the high credit quality of government bonds—along with the low cost and solid performance

Thank you for your continued confidence in Vanguard.

ADVISOR’S REPORT

For the Short-Term Treasury, Short-Term Federal, Inflation-Protected Securities, Intermediate-Term Treasury, and Long-Term Treasury Funds

During the six months ended July 31, 2005, the total returns of the Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds ranged from a low of 0.5% for the Investor and Institutional Shares of the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund to a high of 2.8% for the Admiral Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund. (The Admiral Shares of the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, which were introduced toward the end of the period, had a negative return in their roughly seven-week existence.)

THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

During the first half of the fiscal year, the investment climate was characterized by a brisk economic expansion, an improving job market, and a modest acceleration in the inflation rate. The most significant influence on the fixed income market was the Federal Reserve Board’s increases in short-term interest rates. The Fed continued its “measured” pace of tightening, raising the target federal funds rate by 0.25% for the ninth consecutive time at the end of June, to 3.25%. (In early August, the Fed raised the target rate again, to 3.50%.)


Investment Philosophy

The funds reflect a belief that no one bond portfolio is right for all investors. The funds offer an array of portfolios with specific maturity and quality characteristics so investors can select the portfolio or combination of portfolios appropriate to their needs.


Fed officials stated that even after the tightening, “the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative.” The Fed’s slow-but-steady increases—intended to ward off any acceleration in inflation—were seen by many as a logical response to an economic picture that was generally favorable but marked by a few patches of concern. For example, although the inflation-adjusted gross domestic product grew respectably during the first two quarters of calendar 2005, higher energy prices contributed to concern about near-term inflationary pressures. Nonetheless, Fed officials maintained longer-term expectations of low and stable inflation.

As the fiscal half-year ended, the Fed had not signaled any imminent change in its monetary strategy, and some analysts believed that the

7


central bank would continue to boost short-term rates at its “measured pace” of 25-basis-point increments.

THE U.S. TREASURY MARKET

In early August, the Treasury Department announced that the 30-year bond would make its return after a four-year hiatus. Wall Street had been asking Treasury to bring back the bond, both to satisfy its need for a long-dated benchmark to value other securities and to fulfill strong investor demand for long-duration assets.

The yields of Treasury securities rose during the period, with short rates rising faster than long rates. The exception to this pattern was the 30-year bond, which rallied as its yield declined. (See the table below for yield changes.) Some investors interpreted the divergent performances of the longest-term and shorter-term securities as a signal that the Federal Reserve had gone too far in raising short-term interest rates, increasing the risk of another recession. As this view became more widely accepted in the marketplace, Treasury securities rallied, and the yield of the 10-year note dipped to 3.89%.

While there is some historical support for this argument, a closer examination led us to conclude that a number of factors were contributing to the excess demand for long-duration assets. The most notable was strong demand from pension managers and insurance companies, which try to match the duration of their assets to that of their liabilities. Combined with the absence of new supplies of 30-year bonds during the past four years and a Federal Reserve that remains vigilant in fighting inflation, this demand may explain the strong relative performance of long-maturity Treasuries in the fiscal half-year.

Despite the brief rally in the 10-year Treasury, we remained convinced that the Fed was far from finished hiking rates and chose not to follow the pack. By the end of the semiannual period, the yield of the 10-year Treasury had risen to 4.28%, and our outlook was once again in vogue.

8


THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

We began the period with the belief that the yield curve, as expressed by the spread between short- and long-dated maturities, would continue to flatten. This was primarily based on our view that the Federal Reserve would continue to raise the target federal funds rate, causing short-term rates to rise faster than long-term rates. To profit from this, we weighted the Treasury funds’ exposure more toward securities at both the shorter and the longer ends of their respective maturity ranges. As the six-month period progressed, we removed some of the Short-Term Treasury Fund’s exposure to the longer end of its maturity range as the yield spread between shorter-and longer-term securities neared its tightest level in nearly four years.

We periodically expressed our view on interest rates by altering the Treasury funds’ average durations, a measure of interest-rate sensitivity. We shortened durations when we thought interest rates were too low and extended the funds’ durations when rates seemed too high. At the end of the semiannual period, the Short-Term Treasury Fund’s duration was in the bearish band, reflecting our expectation that short-term interest rates will continue to rise. The durations of the Intermediate- and Long-Term Treasury Funds were in their neutral ranges.

In the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, we kept our interest-rate exposure close to that of the benchmark. A noteworthy development during the six months was a decline in the breakeven inflation rate implied by the difference between the real yield of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and the nominal yields of conventional Treasury securities. The decline reflected a reduction in the market’s inflation expectations, perhaps a response to a brief economic slowdown in the spring.

In the Short-Term Federal Fund, as in its Treasury counterpart, we kept duration near the bearish end of the portfolio’s typical range, which helped us avoid some of the fallout from rising short-term rates. We also made a modest shift from noncallable Treasury and agency securities into higher-yielding callable agency securities, anticipating that there would be little danger of these higher-yielding securities being called in a rising rate environment.

ADVISOR’S REPORT

For the GNMA Fund

Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 1.1% during the six months ended July 31, 2005. The fund outperformed its average mutual fund peer, which advanced 0.7%, and matched the return of the Lehman GNMA Index.

THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

The past six months were dominated by the Federal Reserve Board’s ongoing efforts to head off an increase in the inflation rate by raising short-term interest rates. What ensued was something of a puzzle: While short-term rates rose sharply, longer-term rates remained relatively stable. The net result was a substantial flattening of the U.S. Treasury yield curve. During the period, GNMA securities performed well relative to Treasuries, as fewer homeowners refinanced their mortgages and yield volatility declined.

THE FUND’S SUCCESSES

Although the yield of the 10-year Treasury note, a benchmark for mortgage rates, rose slightly during the past six months, the fund continued to provide shareholders with a positive total return. As with other fixed income securities, rising interest rates tend to depress the prices of GNMAs and, thus, the value of the fund’s holdings. What enabled the fund to provide a reasonable return during a period of rising interest rates was the slowdown in refinancing activity, which helped support the level of income produced by our holdings. In addition, the fund’s low expense ratio continued to give it a powerful advantage versus competing funds.

THE FUND’S SHORTFALLS

We think it’s important to note at this point that, because interest rates in general are so low, the outlook for returns has to be low as well, if history is a guide. Furthermore, the fund has been able to achieve solid total returns year in and year out for the past 20 years because the trend in yields was toward lower levels. This meant that in most years the fund’s shares earned income plus a positive principal return. We now believe that the long-term trend in interest rates is upward, so it would

10


be unreasonable to expect the fund’s principal returns to remain generally positive. Indeed, for the past six months, its principal return was negative.

THE FUND’S POSITIONING

To sum up: With the trend toward lower interest rates apparently at an end, the primary risk to the fund no longer comes from refinancing activity. Rather, we think the risk is in the potential for erosion of principal due to rising rates. Although we do not expect a sharp climb in rates any time soon, it is prudent that we recognize the degree of this risk. We cannot fully insulate the fund from the effects of rising rates, but we do take what actions we can to position the fund for such an eventuality.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS

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.


Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s fixed income holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with Aaa or AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers. U.S. Treasury securities are considered to have the highest credit quality.


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%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). 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.


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. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.


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.


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


Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days (7 days for money market funds) and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.


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.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the funds. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are grouped and subtotaled by bond type (U.S. government securities, agency bonds and notes, etc.). Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets of each fund, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income is minimal for the funds that distribute net income to shareholders as a dividend each day. For the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, Undistributed Net Investment Income represents net income earned since the last quarterly dividend. Any realized gains must be distributed annually, so the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The balance shown for Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximates the amount available to distribute to shareholders as capital gains as of the statement date, but may differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Each fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. For the funds that distribute income to shareholders each day, the amounts of Distributions—Net Investment Income approximate the net income earned as shown under the Operations section. The Inflation-Protected Securities Fund’s Distributions—Net Investment Income and all funds’ amounts of Distributions—Realized Capital Gain may not match the net income or capital gains shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the net amount shareholders invested in or redeemed from the fund. Distributions and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. It also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; how much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds comprise the Short-Term Treasury, Short-Term Federal, Inflation-Protected Securities, Intermediate-Term Treasury, GNMA, and Long-Term Treasury Funds, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Each fund offers Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. The Inflation-Protected Securities Fund also offers Institutional 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, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $5,000,000. Admiral Shares for the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund were first issued on June 10, 2005.

A.    The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their 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. Investments in Vanguard Yorktown™Liquidity Fund and 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 materially affected by events occurring before the funds’ 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: Each fund may use U.S. Agency, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note futures contracts, with the objectives of enhancing returns, managing interest rate risk, maintaining liquidity, diversifying credit risk, and minimizing transaction costs. The funds may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The funds may also seek to take advantage of price differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another sector. Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested position in the underlying bonds while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the funds 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 financial statements. 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).

3.Mortgage-Dollar-Rolls: The GNMA Fund has entered 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 invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the initial sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. 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 on the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage-dollar-rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations to deliver purchased securities.

4.Repurchase Agreements: The funds may invest in 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

50


5.Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

6.Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily by all funds except the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund and paid on the first business day of the following month. Quarterly income dividends from the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, and all funds’ annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

7.Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Yorktown Liquidity Fund and 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. Inflation adjustments to the face amount of inflation-indexed securities are included in interest income. 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 investment advisory services to the Short-Term Treasury, Short-Term Federal, Inflation-Protected Securities, Intermediate-Term Treasury, and Long-Term Treasury Funds on an at-cost basis.

Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the GNMA Fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2005, the investment advisory fee of the GNMA Fund represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of average net assets.

C.   The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, shareholder account maintenance, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to each fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2005, the funds had contributed capital to Vanguard (included in Other Assets) of:


Bond Fund Capital Contribution

GNMA 3,078  0.01% 3.08%
Long-Term Treasury 266  0.01% 0.27%

The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D.    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.

51


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The funds’ tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2005, the following funds had tax-basis capital losses available to offset future net capital gains:

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 table on page 57 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 on page 57 are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it 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 in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

*The table does not include data for funds or share classes of funds with fewer than six months of history.
**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 Treasury Fund, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, 0.19% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% 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.

TRUSTEES RENEW ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS

The board of trustees of Vanguard Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, and Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. The board also has renewed the investment advisory agreement between Vanguard GNMA Fund and the fund’s investment advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP. The board determined that renewing each fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisors’ investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

NATURE, EXTENT, AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The board considered the benefits to shareholders of continuing to retain Vanguard and Wellington Management as the advisors to the funds, particularly in light of the nature, extent, and quality of services they have provided. The board considered the quality of investment management to the funds over both the short and long term and the organizational depth and stability of the firms. The board noted that Vanguard and Wellington Management have been the funds’ advisors since their inceptions and that the portfolio management teams employ disciplined investment processes and have considerable experience. The board concluded that the advisors’ experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangements.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board considered the magnitude, consistency, and reasons for each fund’s and advisor’s performance, and concluded that performance was such that the advisory arrangements should continue. Information about the funds’ performance, including some of the data considered by the board, can be found in the “Performance Summaries” section of this report.

COST

The funds’ expense ratios were far below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their peer groups. The funds’ advisory fees were also well below the peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the “About Your Fund’s Expenses” section of this report as well as in the “Financial Statements” section, which also includes information about the advisory fee rates. The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders. The board did not consider 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.

58


THE BENEFIT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE

Shareholders in Vanguard GNMA Fund benefit from economies of scale because of breakpoints in the fund’s advisory fee schedule with Wellington Management. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase. The board concluded that with regard to Vanguard Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, and Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase. The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements 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 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.
 
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are

  CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
   

Dear Shareholder,

During the six months ended July 31, 2005, short-term interest rates increased steadily as the Federal Reserve Board raised its target for the federal funds rate. Among longer-term bonds, by contrast, interest rates declined—a phenomenon described as a flattening of the yield curve.

In this unusual environment, the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds produced positive total returns (capital change plus reinvested distributions) comparable with those of their market segments. The funds' starting and ending net asset values, as well as their distributions during the period, appear in the table on page 6.

As you can see in the table at left, the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund led the way, returning 2.3% for Investor Shares and 2.4% for Admiral Shares, while the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund posted the lowest returns of the four funds, 0.7% for both share classes. The changes in the funds' yields during the period reflected the narrowing of the difference between long- and short-term rates. For example, the yield of the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund's Investor Shares fell 8 basis

points (0.08 percentage point) to end the period at 5.06%, while the yield of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund Investor Shares increased by 50 basis points. The table on page 3 shows the SEC 30-day annualized yields for each fund's Investor Shares on July 31.

THE BOND MARKET REMAINED DISENGAGED

Short-term interest rates continued to rise, nudged by the Federal Reserve Board, but long-term rates vacillated for most of the period, with low yields frustrating the Fed's efforts to make borrowing more costly. July may have marked a turn, as yields jumped sharply across the maturity spectrum--a signal that inflation fears may have started to trouble bond investors.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which reflects the taxable investment-grade U.S. bond market, gained a modest 0.9% during the six months.

STOCKS FOLLOWED THE MERCURY IN A SUMMER RALLY

The U.S. stock market struggled during early spring, but then seemed to follow the thermometer upward in May, June, and July. The broad market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, gained 7.1% during the six months.

Initially, investors remained cautious, even as the U.S. economy drummed forth good news on gross domestic product growth, the housing market, and job creation. Such gains were offset, many felt, by skepticism that economic growth could be sustained in the face of escalating energy costs and rising short-term interest rates. But as the period wore on and corporate earnings reports came in surprisingly strong, investors became increasingly convinced that the economy was in sound shape.

Investors did not show strong preferences among growth and value stocks. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks outperformed those of larger companies during the half-year, continuing recent trends. International stocks outperformed their U.S. counterparts; however, a strengthening U.S. dollar wiped out that edge for U.S.-based investors.

INCOME KEPT RETURNS POSITIVE FOR ALL FOUR FUNDS

As is always the case, interest rate changes were both boon and bane during the past six months. Among short- and intermediate-term bonds, rising yields drove prices lower, diminishing near-term results, but boosting the prospective return of future investments. The opposite phenomenon unfolded among long-term bonds.

The three Vanguard investment-grade bond funds were influenced by these dynamics. The Investor Shares of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.9%, and those of the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.7%, as declining bond prices offset

most of their income return. The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund’s Investor Shares returned 2.3%, as the fund experienced a modest decline in yield and relatively little change in share price. The Short- and Long-Term Funds outpaced the returns of both their peers and benchmarks, while the Intermediate-Term Fund’s returns beat the benchmark result but were just shy of the peer-group average.

The Investor Shares of Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund, which is generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than to the financial health of below-investment-grade borrowers, returned 1.9%. The fund lagged the results of its comparative standards for the half-year in part because the investment advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP, held no General Motors bonds. GM issues rallied shortly after the auto giant lost its investment-grade credit rating.

In both the High-Yield Corporate Fund and the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund—also advised by Wellington Management—the advisor has been emphasizing higher-quality securities, a response to the continued narrowing of spreads between the yields of high-quality bonds and those of higher-risk corporate bonds. As the risk/reward trade-off has become less attractive, the advisor has sought to decrease risk exposure by enhancing credit quality.

Six-month results for a bond fund provide an incomplete perspective on performance, because these figures include the full impact of any price changes but only a half-year’s worth of interest income. To provide a more meaningful perspective, we present the 12-month returns for each fund’s Investor Shares in the table on page 3.

THE BENEFITS OF A LOW-COST, BALANCED PORTFOLIO

The relatively low level of yields currently available to bond investors is a compelling argument for low-cost investing. In such an environment, higher costs are even more punitive to returns than in a high-interest-rate environment. Over longer periods, the impact of Vanguard’s low operating costs can be especially powerful.

If you’ve been an investor in one of the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds over the past few years, you’ve enjoyed solid returns. Today, with various trends suggesting that higher interest rates may be in store, you might be tempted to consider shifting allocations from bonds into other asset classes. Be cautious. Instead of searching for the next “big” thing, take

this opportunity to make sure your portfolio is still aligned with your original target allocations. Investors who periodically rebalance their portfolios across and within asset classes in accordance with their long-term objectives are likely to better tolerate the market’s short-term peaks and valleys. Remember too, that if you are a long-term investor and reinvest your fund distributions, a rise in interest rates can actually be good news. While bond prices may fall in the short term, your distributions will be reinvested in bonds with higher yields, potentially resulting in higher total returns in the long run.

  ADVISORS REPORT
   

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2005, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.9% for its Investor and Admiral Shares and 1.0% for its Institutional Shares, while the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.7% for both of its share classes.

THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

During the first half of the fiscal year, the investment environment was characterized by a brisk economic expansion, an improving labor market, and a modest acceleration in the inflation rate. The most significant influence on the fixed income market was the Federal Reserve Board’s hikes in short-term interest rates. The Fed continued its “measured pace” of monetary-policy tightening, raising the target federal funds rate for the ninth consecutive time at the end of June, to 3.25%. (In early August, the Fed raised the target rate again, to 3.50%.)

Fed officials stated that even after the tightening, “the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative.” The Fed’s slow-but-steady increases—intended to ward off any acceleration in inflation—were seen by many as a logical response to an economic picture that has been generally favorable but marked by a few patches of concern. For example, although the inflation-adjusted gross domestic product grew respectably during the first two quarters of calendar 2005, higher energy prices contributed to concern about near-term inflationary pressures. Nonetheless, Fed officials maintained longer-term expectations of low and stable inflation.

Investment Philosophy

The funds reflect a belief that no one bond portfolio is right for all investors. The funds offer an array of portfolios with specific maturity and quality characteristics so investors can select the portfolio or combination of portfolios appropriate to their needs.

As the fiscal half-year ended, the Fed had not signaled any imminent change in its monetary strategy, and some analysts believed that the central bank would continue to boost short-term rates in 25-basis-point increments.

THE FIXED INCOME MARKET

The yields of U.S. Treasury securities rose during the period, with short rates rising faster than long rates. The exception to this pattern was the 30-year bond, which rallied as its yield declined. (See the table at left for yield changes.) Some investors interpreted the divergent performances of the longest-term and shorter-term securities as a signal that the Federal Reserve had gone too far in raising short-term interest rates, increasing the risk of another recession. As this view became more widely accepted in the marketplace, Treasury securities rallied, and the yield of the 10-year note dipped to 3.89%. By the end of the period, however, expectations of continued rate increases were again dictating the market’s direction, and the 10-year Treasury’s yield rose to 4.28%.

Corporate bonds trailed the broader investment-grade bond market during the six months by 61 basis points (0.61 percentage point), under-performing mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities by 43 and 74 basis points, respectively. Oddly enough, the market’s lower-quality credits, including high-yield (“junk”) bonds (which outperformed the broad market by 219 basis points) and emerging-markets bonds (which outperformed by 359 basis points), produced significantly better returns than their higher-quality counterparts.

Corporate borrowing was heavy during the period, with investors purchasing $200 billion of new issues. Overall, the spread between the yields of corporate and Treasury securities was on a roller-coaster ride, starting the period at 82 basis points, widening to 102 basis points, and finishing back at 82 basis points.

Credit quality continued to improve: The downgrade-to-upgrade ratio was around one-to-one, compared with two-to-one in the first half of the previous year. Nevertheless, this period’s downgrades were especially noteworthy—they included the auto giants Ford and General Motors.

THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

We kept the funds’ average durations, a measure of interest rate sensitivity, in the bearish-to-neutral range for most of the six-month period, reflecting our expectation that interest rates would continue to rise. This strategy proved effective, particularly for the Short-Term Fund, as the Federal Reserve boosted short-term interest rates by 100 basis points during the six months. Both funds, but particularly the Short-Term Fund, also benefited from the purchase of floating-rate paper, which allowed us to take advantage of the rate increases. By the end of the period, the average duration of the Short-Term Fund remained in the bearish range, while we had nudged that of the Intermediate-Term Fund back to a neutral position.

A strategy that proved less rewarding was positioning the funds for the “upgrade trade,” based on our expectation that investors would shift from high-yield and emerging-markets bonds—which had become expensive—to higher-quality securities. We prepared for this development by purchasing higher-quality, less-volatile corporate bonds and U.S. Treasuries, while reducing our exposure to riskier credits. These moves proved to be premature, however, costing the Intermediate-Term Fund some return and offsetting some of the gains we had produced by shortening the fund’s duration.

  ADVISORS REPORT
   

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds

During the six months ended July 31, 2005, the Investor Shares of the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 2.3%, while those of the High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 1.9%. The funds’ Admiral Shares returned 2.4% and 2.0%, respectively.

THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

The Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds invest almost exclusively in the U.S. corporate bond market. The funds have varying degrees of credit and duration risk, and their performance is affected by both the direction of interest rates and the overall health of the U.S. economy, which influences business conditions for issuers of corporate bonds.

Credit risk is generally a function of the economy and liquidity conditions. On average, the quality ratings of corporate bonds tend to improve during periods of economic improvement and “loose” monetary conditions (i.e., when financing is readily available). So far in 2005, we have experienced a tightening of monetary conditions, but they are still not restrictive. We probably won’t experience any significant effects of the Federal Reserve Board’s numerous rate hikes before 2006. Eventually, investors will anticipate slower growth, reduced inflationary pressures, and marginal rationing of credit. Until then, our expectation is that bond investors will remain optimistic about the direction of the economy and be willing to embrace credit risk. Capital markets are awash in liquidity in an environment of low nominal yields. As a result, investors have been lowering their credit hurdles to obtain higher absolute yields.

U.S. Treasuries’ interest rates continue to defy expectations. In the six months ended July 31, the 5-year Treasury note’s yield rose 43 basis points (0.43 percentage point), while the yield of the 30-year Treasury bond actually declined 12 basis points. The 5-year Treasury’s rise in yield was attributable to the Federal Reserve’s increases in the target federal funds rate; the 30-year Treasury’s decline in yield was an endorsement by bond investors of the Fed’s commitment to containing inflation.

10




The “extra” yield of corporate issues, which compensates investors for the securities’ credit risk, increased for investment-grade bonds but was essentially unchanged for high-yield bonds. One reason for the rise in the yield spread between Treasury securities and investment-grade issues was concern that managements have been raising the amount of debt on their balance sheets by undertaking shareholder-friendly activities. Such activities include aggressive share repurchases and special dividends. From a historical perspective, valuations of investment-grade and high-yield bonds are still fairly high, making them less attractive than in prior years. Despite the wider spread for investment-grade corporates, risk premiums remain narrow overall, as they have for two years now.

While investors may have had some concern about rising debt among investment-grade companies, many companies have greatly improved their balance sheets in the past two years by taking advantage of lower interest rates to refinance existing debt obligations. Rating agencies tended to view these financial improvements favorably, leading to a greater number of credit upgrades. This shift was especially true in the high-yield market. In calendar 2003, Moody’s Investors Service’s downgrade-to-upgrade ratio was 2.4. In 2004, this ratio fell to 0.8, which is roughly its current level. The default rate also has declined.

Bonds generally have an asymmetrical payoff, meaning their prices can decline much more than they are able to appreciate. A strategy to mitigate this erosion is to diversify across issuers and industries to dampen the effects of credit mistakes. This diversification, along with our fundamental credit-research effort, remains a constant ingredient in our investment approach as interest rate changes continue in the fixed income market.

LONG-TERM INVESTMENT-GRADE FUND

Successes: The fund marginally outpaced the benchmark in the fiscal half-year. We continued to avoid serious credit mistakes. While average duration measures the sensitivity of the fund to changes in interest rates, it does not account for changes in credit quality. If the risk premiums of corporate bonds continue to decline, the net asset values of the fund can gain support, even if interest rates rise for Treasuries, as we expect.

Shortfalls: While the fund generally benefited from stable yields at the long end of the yield curve during the half-year, our sector allocation generally failed to add value relative to the benchmark. In addition,

11




our credit-quality allocation decisions were suboptimal. Given that long-term Baa-rated bonds underperformed higher-quality long bonds during the period, our roughly 15% allocation to Baa issues, which are not represented in the benchmark, detracted from relative return.

Positioning: The fund is positioned with long-term investment-grade bonds that carry excellent call protection. The major risk to this fund, with its long average duration and maturity, is a rise in long-term interest rates. We are keeping the fund’s duration in line with that of the benchmark in the belief that long rates will remain relatively stable in the near term. While we think that the next major move in rates will be upward, we cannot forget that the demand for long-maturity assets is real, particularly given the prevalence of underfunded pension plans. The fund’s long duration will continue to capture the additional yield offered in return for assuming the risk of large swings in net asset values. Nevertheless, we recognize that this positioning carries risks. We are in an environment where the difference between intermediate and long rates has narrowed significantly, reducing the relative reward for owning very long bonds.

The second risk always present in this fund is that the credit quality of corporate issuers may deteriorate. To mitigate this risk, the fund is well diversified by issuer and industry. The fund does not own emerging-markets debt or foreign bonds denominated in non-U.S. currencies. We generally purchase bonds of well-established, larger companies with stable operating histories.

HIGH-YIELD CORPORATE FUND

Successes: Although the fund’s returns lagged the return of the benchmark index for the period, there were pockets of strength. Specifically, the fund outperformed the benchmark in the technology, transportation, and retail sectors, where we avoided several poorly performing issues. The fund is experiencing more credit upgrades than downgrades, for the reasons discussed earlier.

Shortfalls: The fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark index was due to our poor credit decisions in the auto sector. The fund also was hurt by its weightings in Baa-rated securities and Treasuries. Baa securities, in general, returned 260 basis points (2.6 percentage points) less than the overall high-yield market. While our approach is consistent, the general avoidance of relative risk has hurt

12




the fund’s returns over the past three years. This is particularly true with respect to the utilities industry, which rebounded over the period. Also, the fund’s average duration was relatively short, as we underestimated the impact of falling long Treasury rates on the high-yield market.

Positioning: Within the lower-quality portion of the corporate bond market, commonly referred to as the “junk” bond market, the fund follows a relatively high-quality bias by focusing on the “upper tier” of the credit spectrum. In markets where risk premiums are narrowing and prices are rising, this upper-tier strategy can be expected to result in performance relatively worse than that of a portfolio of higher-risk bonds. In absolute terms, however, the fund’s net asset values rise in such environments, alleviating some of the distasteful under-performance. Currently, the yield differential that might be gained by lowering the fund’s credit quality does not justify the potential risk of loss of principal, in our view. The fund’s holdings continue to be focused on cash-paying issues almost exclusively rated B or better. We maintain a modest U.S. Treasury reserve in the event that liquidity is necessary, and we remain committed to the higher-quality spectrum of the below-investment-grade market.

The fund is diversified by issuer and by industry to decrease risk. We avoid equity-linked securities such as convertibles.

  GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
   


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.


Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s fixed income holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with Aaa or AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers. U.S. Treasury securities are considered to have the highest credit quality.


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%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). 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.


Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.


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.


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


Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days (7 days for money market funds) and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.


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.

  PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES
As of 7/31/2005
 
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the funds. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) 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.

As of 7/31/2005 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
   


STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are grouped and subtotaled by bond type (U.S. government and agency issues, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds, etc.); corporate bonds are further classified by industry sector. Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets of each fund, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income is minimal because the fund distributes its net income to shareholders as a dividend each day. Any realized gains must be distributed annually, so the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The balance shown for Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximates the amount available to distribute to shareholders as capital gains as of the statement date, but may differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Each fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. Because the fund distributes its income to shareholders each day, the amounts of Distributions—Net Investment Income approximate the net income earned as shown under the Operations section. The amounts of Distributions—Realized Capital Gain may not match the capital gains shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the net amount shareholders invested in or redeemed from the fund. Distributions and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. It also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; how much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds comprise the Short-Term Investment-Grade, Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade, Long-Term Investment-Grade, and High-Yield Corporate Funds, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Most of the funds' investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers' abilities to meet these obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.

The Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade, Long-Term Investment-Grade, and High-Yield Corporate Funds each offer two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. The Short-Term Investment-Grade 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 are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $50 million.

A.   The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their 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. 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 materially affected by events occurring before the funds' 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: Each fund may use U.S. Agency, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note futures contracts, with the objectives of enhancing returns, managing interest rate risk, maintaining liquidity, diversifying credit risk, and minimizing transaction costs. The funds may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The funds may also seek to take advantage of price differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another sector. Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested position in the underlying bonds while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the funds 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 financial statements. 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).

3.Swap Contracts: The Short-Term Investment-Grade and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds have entered into credit default swaps to simulate long bond positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. Under the terms of the swaps, each fund receives a periodic payment amount (premium) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the fund agrees to pay the counterparty the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer of the same notional par amount if 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 Short-Term Investment-Grade and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds have also entered into interest rate swap transactions. 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.

80




The Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund has also entered into swap transactions to earn the total return on a specified security or index of fixed income securities. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return (either receiving the increase or paying the decrease) on a reference security or index, applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the fund agrees to pay the counter-party a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount equal to the notional amount of the swaps in high-quality floating-rate securities.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Swaps are valued daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the counter-party requires the fund to take delivery upon the occurrence of a credit event (for credit default swaps) or the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The primary risks associated with credit default swaps are that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by a fund from the counterparty will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund for such instrument, and that the debt instrument will be illiquid. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps and total return swaps is that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund.

4.Repurchase Agreements: The funds may invest in 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

5.Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the 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.Security Lending: The funds may lend their securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The funds invest cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and record a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral less expenses associated with the loan.

8.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. Fees assessed on redemptions of High-Yield Corporate Fund capital shares are 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.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory services to the Short-Term Investment-Grade and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds on an at-cost basis. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds for fees calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2005, the investment advisory fees of the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds represented effective annual rates of 0.02% and 0.03%, respectively, of average net assets.

81




NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to each fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2005, the funds had contributed capital to Vanguard (included in Other Assets) of:



 
 
Bond Fund

Long-Term Investment-Grade 688  0.01    0.69   
High-Yield Corporate 1,135  0.01    1.13   


The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. The Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds’ custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the funds maintain cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody accounts. For the six months ended July 31, 2005, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the funds’ expenses by $40,000 and $88,000, respectively.

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 Short-Term Investment-Grade and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds had realized losses totaling $13,757,000 and $12,671,000, respectively, through January 31, 2005, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of unrealized appreciation on investment securities for tax purposes.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the Short-Term Investment-Grade and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds’ swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the funds’ income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. The Short-Term Investment-Grade and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds’ realized gains (losses) of $(561,000) and $2,000, respectively, on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income. Taxable income on swap contracts is accumulated monthly and included in income dividends paid to shareholders in the following month.

The funds’ tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2005, the following funds had tax-basis capital losses available to offset future net capital gains:



      Capital Losses

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade —  — 
Long-Term Investment-Grade 35,350  2011 
High-Yield Corporate 1,537,898  2009-2012 


The funds will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2006; should the funds realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.

  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 table on page 89 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 on page 89 are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only; they do not include the funds’ low-balance fees or the High-Yield Corporate Fund’s 1% fee on redemptions of shares held for less than one year. These fees are described in the prospectus. If a fee 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 funds’ 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 the appropriate fund 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, 0.11% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.26% for Investor Shares and 0.14% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “xpenses 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.

  TRUSTEES APPROVE AMENDED ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND RENEW ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS
   

The board of trustees has renewed Vanguard Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds’ advisory arrangements with The Vanguard Group, Inc. The board also has renewed the investment advisory agreement between Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and the fund’s advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP. Further, the board has approved an amended investment advisory agreement between the High-Yield Corporate Fund and Wellington Management, effective May 1, 2005, that contains a new advisory fee schedule increasing the fee paid to Wellington Management. The board determined that continuing each fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

The board based its decisions upon an evaluation of the advisors’ investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

NATURE, EXTENT, AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

The board considered the benefits to shareholders of continuing to retain Wellington Management and Vanguard as the advisors to the funds, particularly in light of the nature, extent, and quality of services they have provided. The board considered the quality of investment management to the funds over both the short and long term and the organizational depth and stability of the firms. The board noted that Wellington Management and Vanguard have been the funds’ advisors since their inceptions and that the portfolio management teams employ disciplined investment processes and have considerable experience. The fee arrangement for the High-Yield Corporate Fund that became effective in May is expected to help Wellington Management retain and expand the fund’s competitive management team.

The board concluded that the advisors’ experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangements. (A full discussion of the board’s decision to amend Wellington Management’s advisory agreement, including the terms of the agreement, appeared in the fund’s annual report for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2005.)

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board noted that the funds have performed in line with expectations, and that their results have been consistent with their investment strategies. Information about the funds’ performance, including some of the data considered by the board, can be found in the “Performance Summaries” section of this report.

COST

With respect to the High-Yield Corporate Fund, the board considered the cost of services to be provided, including consideration of competitive fee rates and the fact that, after the implementation of the amended agreement, the fund’s advisory expense ratio remains below the average advisory expense ratio for its peer group. The other funds’ expense ratios also were far below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer

90




groups. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the “About Your Fund’s Expenses” section of this report as well as in the “Financial Statements” section, which also includes information about the advisory fee rates.

The board did not consider profitability of Wellington Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee for the High-Yield Corporate Fund and the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, because Wellington Management is independent of Vanguard and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations. The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.

THE BENEFIT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE

Shareholders in the High-Yield Corporate Fund and the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund benefit from economies of scale because of the breakpoints in each fund’s advisory fee schedule with Wellington Management. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase. The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds, the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements 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.

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.
 
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are
