Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Short-term interest rates rose sharply for a second straight year, while long-term rates increased modestly. These rate dynamics put pressure on bond prices, restraining total returns (change in share price plus reinvested income) for the Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds’ 2006 fiscal year.

Returns ranged from a low of 1.4% for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund’s Investor Shares to a high of 3.1% for the Long-Term Treasury Fund’s Admiral Shares. All the funds produced returns consistent with their market segments, and four of the six funds outperformed their peer-group averages. The table on page 1 presents the total returns of the funds and their comparative standards.

The funds’ yields followed market interest rates upward, with the greatest increase at the short end of the maturity spectrum. The yield of the Short-Term Treasury Fund increased by 1.29 percentage points to 4.22%; that of the Long-Term Treasury Fund rose a barely perceptible 0.02 percentage point to 4.45%. (Yields are for the Investor Shares). The funds’ starting and ending 30-day SEC yields, as well as their income and capital returns for the 12-month period, appear in the table on page 4.

interest rates to 4.50% by the fiscal year-end, for a total increase of 2.25 percentage points in nine separate actions over the 12 months. Rate increases were sharpest—and the attendant price declines most pronounced—among short-term bonds, which generated weak total returns. Longer-term bonds held up better, as rate increases—and price declines—were more modest.

U.S. stock prices climbed; economic signals were mixed

During the 12 months ended January 31, 2006, U.S. stocks produced strong returns. The market’s smaller companies performed best—a pattern that has prevailed for much of the past five years—but large-capitalization stocks also registered double-digit returns.

International stocks surged, particularly those from emerging markets and a seemingly revitalized Japan.

In contrast with the stock market’s clear-cut positives, the economy was a collection of inconsistencies. Stubbornly high energy prices, tighter monetary policy, and hints of deceleration in the housing market struck a cautionary note. Robust profit growth and steady job creation sounded an optimistic counterpoint.

The yield curve’s unusual path made for a challenging period

In a typical rate-tightening cycle, investors push longer-term interest rates upward as the Federal Reserve raises its target for short-term rates. These actions preserve

the positive slope of the interest-rate yield curve, which is consistent with the expectation that it’s riskier to make a long-term loan than a short-term loan, and that investors should be compensated for this added risk.

In the current cycle, however, there has been little change in long-term rates, resulting in a pronounced flattening of the yield curve as short-term rates continued to climb. By the fiscal year-end, in fact, rates on some intermediate-term issues exceeded those of longer-term maturities. In this unusual rate environment, the U.S. Government Bond Funds’ advisors have succeeded in capturing or exceeding the returns of their market segments.

The Short-Term Treasury and Short-Term Federal Funds’ Investor Shares returned 1.9% and 2.0%, respectively, as their income returns more than compensated for declines in their share prices.

The Inflation-Protected Securities Fund performed well relative to Treasuries because of a higher-than-expected increase in inflation. The boost came largely from the impact of rising energy prices. The fund’s 5.5% income return was the highest among the six U.S. Government Bond Funds. Its share price declined modestly in line with interest rate trends, resulting in a 12-month total return of 2.8%.

The Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund outpaced its index but lagged the average return of its peer group, which includes funds that tend to invest in a broader range of maturities. The advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, positioned the fund to take advantage of the flattening yield curve, focusing investments in the short- and long-term ends of the fund’s maturity spectrum.

The GNMA Fund’s return was in line with its index and nearly a percentage point ahead of the average return of its peer group. The mortgage sector performed well in a strong housing market; gains among government-backed mortgages were even more attractive. The fund’s 4.7% income return and –1.8% capital return produced a 12-month total return of 2.9%.

The performance of the Long-Term Treasury Fund was similar to that of the GNMA Fund—a combination of healthy income return and a modest share-price decline.

The funds have outperformed peer averages over time

Without exception, Vanguard’s U.S. Government Bond Funds have exceeded the average returns of their peer groups over the past decade. The funds also have captured most of the returns produced by their benchmark indexes, which are hypothetical constructs that incur no operating or trading costs. These feats are a tribute to the talents of Wellington Management Company, LLP, which manages the GNMA Fund, and of Vanguard Fixed Income Group, which oversees the five other funds. The strong performance also reflects Vanguard’s low investment costs, which permit our shareholders to retain a larger share of their investment gains. (For a cost comparison, see the first table on page 7.)

The table on page 5 displays the annualized returns of each fund’s Investor Shares and its comparative standards during the past ten years (or since the fund’s inception), as well as the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each.

Diversification and balance can help you stay on an even keel

Investors can be frustrated by the seeming complexity and unpredictability of the stock and bond markets, since these markets don’t always move the way we expect them to. Because no one is able to foretell the future with any accuracy, investors are left to ponder what their next move should be amid the flurry of daily market headlines seeking to gain their attention.

At Vanguard, we encourage investors to tune out the market noise and remain focused on their objective—whether it is investing for retirement, college savings, or some other goal. If you hold a well-thought-out portfolio of stocks, bonds, and cash investments that is diversified appropriately for your goals and circumstances, you should be comfortable staying the course through good and bad markets. Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds are a smart choice for those seeking high credit quality, low cost, and solid long-term performance.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


John J. Brennan
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisor’s Report

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

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds produced returns ranging from a low of 1.4% (Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund Investor Shares) to a high of 3.1% (Long-Term Treasury Fund Admiral Shares). The funds bettered or matched the returns of their benchmark indexes.

The investment environment

During the year, the U.S. economy enjoyed respectable growth. Output increased by 3.1% during calendar 2005. Surging energy prices produced a sharp rise in the Consumer Price Index, but the core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy, and the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge (the PCE, or Personal Consumption Expenditure, deflator) suggested that inflation remained under control.

Although the economic backdrop was unremarkable, the bond market’s interest rate dynamics made for a challenging investment environment. The Treasury yield curve flattened significantly over the fiscal year. The spread between the yields of 2- and 30-year Treasuries narrowed from 131 basis points (1.31 percentage point) at the start of the period to just 16 basis points at the close. This spread peaked at more than 350 basis points in 2003.

Signs of flattening were visible along the entire yield curve:

• The yield on 2-year Treasuries rose by 125 basis points to close the period at 4.52%, only 2 basis points above the federal funds target rate.

• Rates on 5-year Treasuries rose by 76 basis points to close at 4.45%—below the yield of the 2-year note.

• Yields of 10-year Treasuries rose only 39 basis points and finished the period even with the 2-years at 4.52%.

• The yields of 30-year bonds had the smallest increase, rising just 10 basis points to end the fiscal year at 4.68%.

The flattening suggests that the Federal Reserve is close to the end of its policy-tightening cycle. Further tightening—which we do expect—will invert the yield curve. Indeed, in early February the Treasury auctioned its first 30-year bond in over four years, and pent-up demand drove the new bond’s yield below that of the current 2-year Treasury.

Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) outperformed their conventional counterparts during the calendar year because of a sharper-than-expected 3.4% increase in the Consumer Price Index. This acceleration in the inflation rate, driven largely by energy prices, was greater than the inflation expectations embedded in TIPS prices at the start of the period.

The management of the funds

In the Short- and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds, we maintained a “flattening bias” for much of the year, focusing each fund’s investments toward the short and long ends of its maturity range. The emphasis on short-duration securities offered some protection from declining prices as the Fed continued to boost interest rates. At the same time, our holdings at the long ends of the funds’ maturity ranges, where prices were relatively stable, allowed us to capture higher yields.

In late December, with 2-year Treasuries yielding more than 5-year Treasuries, we removed the flattening bias in the Short-Term Treasury Fund. The spread between 5- and 10-year Treasuries also narrowed late in the fiscal year, providing an opportunity to reduce the flattening bias in the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund.

The Short-Term Federal Fund, like its Treasury counterpart, benefited from a shorter-than-usual duration. We also enhanced the fund’s performance by increasing its holdings in agency debt, both callable and noncallable. The supply of agency bonds diminished in the period as both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reduced issuance, a consequence of regulatory actions that constrained their business models. Demand for agency issues did not drop, however, and the combination of reduced supply and strong demand helped agency securities to outperform Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities as short-term rates moved higher.

In the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, we were able to enhance returns by employing trading strategies that took advantage of supply premiums created by auctions of new TIPS and by making modest adjustments in the fund’s exposure to the changes in inflation expectations. Differences between the fund and its benchmark in the distribution of issues of different maturities detracted somewhat from the fund’s performance.

Our investment outlook

Given our expectation that the Federal Reserve will decide it still has some tightening left to accomplish, we are maintaining our bearish positioning in the Short-Term Treasury and Short-Term Federal Funds, where the impact of higher short-term rates is felt the most. Once it appears that the Fed is finished with this round of rate-boosting and short-term securities look more fairly valued, we will reassess that bias.

For the Intermediate-Term and Long-Term Treasury Funds, we are keeping the portfolio durations neutral in the expectation that continued demand for longer-maturity Treasuries, particularly from foreign investors and domestic pension-fund managers, will prevent interest rates from accelerating significantly upward.

9




This positioning could change if interest rates should rise overseas, causing foreigners to sell U.S. fixed income assets.

At the end of the fiscal year, the break-even inflation rate—the rate at which TIPS and conventional Treasuries should be equally attractive to investors—was 2.5% for 10-year TIPS and 2.8% for 30-year TIPS. In our view, these levels fairly reflect expected inflation and the inflation risk premium, which means that TIPS should not be expected to outperform conventional Treasuries unless inflation rises sharply.

Advisor’s Report

For the GNMA Fund

During the 12 months ended January 31, Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 2.9% for Investor Shares and 3.0% for Admiral Shares. These results were in line with the performance of the Lehman GNMA Index and superior to the average return of competing funds.

The investment environment

The fixed income market during the past 12 months was dominated by an astonishing flattening of the Treasury yield curve. The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates aggressively, but the yields of intermediate- and long-term securities rose less dramatically. The yield of the longest-term Treasury security, the 30-year bond, was virtually unchanged over the course of the year.

The mortgage sector performed well during the period, and GNMAs were the best-performing slice of the mortgage market. Higher interest rates caused a sharp decline in the pace of mortgage refinancing. With that threat largely removed, investors became more interested in the higher yields offered by GNMAs.

As GNMAs led the market for mortgage-backed securities, the fund did well by having 100% of its assets invested in GNMA securities. While the difference in performance between the GNMA sector and other areas of the mortgage-backed securities market was not dramatic, it was sufficient to give the fund an advantage over the broader mortgage-backed market.

Although the past 12 months were a good period for the fund relative to the vast majority of fixed income funds, it is also true that the fund’s absolute return remained low by historical standards. This lower level of return simply reflects the low level of interest rates, both among mortgage-backed securities and among fixed income investments generally.

The fund’s positioning

The fund continues to be fully invested in GNMA securities, and we do not envision a change in that stance in the near future. It is also our view that the general level of interest rates is likely to remain flat or climb only slightly in the next several months. For this reason, we are concentrating new purchases in GNMA securities priced slightly above par value. These securities offer a bit more yield than those priced below par value, and they are no longer threatened by the negative effects of mortgage refinancing that occur during periods of falling interest rates.

Short-Term Treasury Fund



Notes to Financial Statements

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

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard YorktownTM 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund 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, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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. Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Yorktown 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.

22




Short-Term Treasury Fund



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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, shareholder account maintenance, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $390,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.39% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $30,890,000 to offset future net capital gains of $3,475,000 through January 31, 2013, $11,999,000 through January 31, 2014, and $15,416,000 through January 31, 2015.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $27,617,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,272,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $28,889,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2006, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2006 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

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

D. During the year ended January 31, 2006, the fund purchased $3,427,446,000 of investment securities and sold $2,635,258,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Short-Term Federal Fund



Notes to Financial Statements

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

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

1.     Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Yorktown 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Futures Contracts: The fund 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, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

5.     Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Yorktown 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.

36


Short-Term Federal Fund



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

B.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The cost of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $324,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.32% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $22,969,000 to offset future net capital gains of $20,018,000 through January 31, 2014, and $2,951,000 through January 31, 2015.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $48,234,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,191,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $49,425,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2006, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2006 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

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

D.     During the year ended January 31, 2006, the fund purchased $1,236,655,000 of investment securities and sold $1,876,629,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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

Inflation-Protected Securities Fund



Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds. The fund offers three classes of shares, Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares were first issued on June 10, 2005, and 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.

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

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

2.     Futures Contracts: The 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, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 future contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

4.     Distributions: Quarterly income dividends and annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5.     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. 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. Inflation

Inflation-Protected Securities Fund



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 at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $1,155,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.15% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C.     Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and 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 certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $13,011,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

The fund changed its tax year-end from January 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 2005. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2005, the fund had $4,877,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $7,752,000 to offset future net capital gains through December 31, 2014.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $123,924,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $199,772,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $75,848,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

D.     During the year ended January 31, 2006, the fund purchased $6,073,497,000 of investment securities and sold $4,287,675,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.

Performance Summary



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

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund



Notes to Financial Statements

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

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

1.     Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Yorktown 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Futures Contracts: The fund 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, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

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

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in

62


Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund



Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, shareholder account maintenance, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $457,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% the fund’s net assets and 0.46% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $1,550,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

Capital gains required to be distributed in December 2005 included net gains realized through October 31, 2005. Subsequently, the fund realized capital losses of $8,531,000, which are available to offset future net capital gains through January 31, 2015.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,497,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $42,134,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $31,637,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

D.     During the year ended January 31, 2006, the fund purchased $2,722,056,000 of investment securities and sold $2,417,295,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Notes to Financial Statements

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

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

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

2.     Repurchase Agreements: The fund invests 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.

3.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

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

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

B.     Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2006, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

73


GNMA Fund



C.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $2,832,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.83% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s 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.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $67,638,000 to offset future net capital gains of $29,714,000 through January 31, 2012, $26,020,000 through January 31, 2013, and $11,904,000 through January 31, 2015.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $33,349,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $164,057,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $197,406,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E.     During the year ended January 31, 2006, the fund purchased $9,431,229,000 of investment securities and sold $8,939,351,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.

Long-Term Treasury Fund



Notes to Financial Statements



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

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

1.     Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Yorktown 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Futures Contracts: The fund 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, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

5.     Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Yorktown 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.

84


Long-Term Treasury Fund



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

B.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, shareholder account maintenance, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $255,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.25% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $1,248,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2006, the fund had $10,499,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

The fund had realized losses totaling $14,340,000 through January 31, 2006, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of unrealized appreciation on investment securities for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $164,670,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $166,541,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,871,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2006, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2006 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodians and broker and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and Vanguard Yorktown Liquidity Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses



As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The table below and on page 89 illustrate 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.”

1 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, 0.26% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Admiral Shares; for the Inflation-Protected Securities Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.11% for Admiral Shares, and 0.08% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.27% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.27% for Investor Shares and 0.09% 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.

• 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 tables 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.

Vanguard’s Policies for Managing Changes to Investment Advisory Arrangements

The boards of trustees of the Vanguard funds and Vanguard have adopted practical and cost-effective policies for managing the funds’ arrangements with their unaffiliated investment advisors, as permitted by an order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Background

In 1993, Vanguard was among the first mutual fund companies to streamline the process of changing a fund’s investment advisory arrangements. In essence, the SEC order enabled the boards of the Vanguard funds to enter into new or revised advisory arrangements without the delay and expense of a shareholder vote. This ability, which is subject to a number of SEC conditions designed to protect shareholder interests, has saved the Vanguard funds and their shareholders several million dollars in proxy costs since 1993. It has also enabled the funds’ trustees to quickly implement advisory changes in the best interest of shareholders.

Over the past 12 years, as the SEC gained experience in this area, it has granted more flexible conditions to other fund companies. Consequently, Vanguard received the SEC’s permission to update its policies concerning its arrangements with outside investment advisors.

Our updated policies

Vanguard is adopting several additional practical and cost-effective policies in managing the Vanguard funds’ investment advisory arrangements:

Statement of Additional Information (SAI). Vanguard funds that employ an unaffiliated investment advisor will now show advisory fee information on an aggregate basis in their SAIs. (A fund’s SAI provides more detailed information than its prospectus and is available to investors online at Vanguard.com® or upon request.) Previously, separate fee schedules were presented for each unaffiliated advisor. Each fund’s SAI will also include the amount paid by the fund for any investment advisory services provided on an at-cost basis by The Vanguard Group. Reporting advisory fees in this manner is the same approach used by other fund companies that have received similar SEC exemptive orders.

Shareholder notification. Like other fund companies, Vanguard will have up to 90 days after a fund enters into a new advisory agreement to notify shareholders of the change. Previously, shareholders were notified at least 30 days before any such change, if possible. In practice, Vanguard expects to continue notifying shareholders of advisory changes as soon as is practical, taking into account opportunities to reduce postage expenses by enclosing notices with previously scheduled mailings.

Redemption fees. Some Vanguard funds charge a redemption fee, which typically applies to shares redeemed within a certain period following purchase. Previously, redemption fees were required to be waived for 90 days after giving notice of a fund advisory change. The SEC has not generally applied this requirement to other fund companies and has now eliminated it for Vanguard. (Redemption fees—which are paid to the fund, not to Vanguard—are designed to ensure that short-term investors pay their fair share of a fund’s transaction costs.)

Glossary



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.

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 selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.

Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

The four Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds posted modest returns in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006. Although the funds’ share prices fell, the income each generated was sufficient to overcome the price declines.

As the table on page 1 shows, the funds’ total returns ranged from 1.3% for the Investor Shares of the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund to 4.0% for the Admiral Shares of the High-Yield Corporate Fund. (Total return consists of the change in share price plus reinvested income and capital gains distributions.) The Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund handily outpaced the average return of its peer group; the three other funds performed in line with peer averages. All except the High-Yield Corporate Fund matched or exceeded the returns of their benchmark indexes.

The table on page 7 shows share prices at the start and end of the period for each of the funds, as well as distributions made during the year. The table on page 4 shows the income and capital components of each fund’s return; it also shows the funds’ yields, which rose noticeably during the period.

The Fed’s rate hikes reverberated through the bond market

The broad U.S. bond market registered modest returns as the Federal Reserve Board hiked its target for short-term

2




interest rates to 4.50% by the fiscal year-end, for a total increase of 2.25 percentage points in nine separate actions over the 12 months. Rate increases were sharpest—and the attendant price declines most pronounced—among short-term Treasury bonds, which generated weak total returns. Longer-term Treasury bonds held up better, with rate increases—and price declines—that were more modest.

While stock prices rallied, economic signals were mixed

U.S. stocks produced strong returns for the period. The market’s smaller companies performed best—a pattern that has prevailed for much of the past five years—but large-capitalization stocks also registered double-digit returns. International stocks surged, particularly those from emerging markets and a seemingly revitalized Japan.

In contrast with the stock market’s clear-cut positives, the economy was a collection of inconsistencies. Stubbornly high energy prices, tighter monetary policy, and hints of deceleration in the housing market struck a cautionary note. Robust profit growth and steady job creation sounded an optimistic counterpoint.

A combination of market factors held the funds’ returns in check

Two factors combined to hold down returns from the investment-grade corporate bond market during the 12 months ended January 31. The first was the Fed’s series of increases in short-term interest rates, which led to rising rates across the maturity spectrum. The second was the widening of the spread between yields of Treasury securities and those of investment-grade corporate issues of like maturity. In other words, corporate yields rose more than

Treasury yields, a result of investors’ growing concern about a number of issues, including corporate profitability and competitiveness as well as oil prices.

Amid these challenges, two of the investment-grade funds produced returns in line with those of their peers while one, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, significantly outperformed its peer fund. Each fund’s share price fell during the fiscal year; however, each produced income that more than offset the decline. The funds’ investment advisors—Vanguard Fixed Income Group for the Short- and Intermediate-Term Funds and Wellington Management Company for the Long-Term Fund—adopted defensive postures, keeping each fund’s duration (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) at the short end of its typical range. This positioning helped blunt the impact of rising rates on the funds’ share prices.

The High-Yield Corporate Fund faced a somewhat different challenge over the period. By mandate, the fund maintains somewhat higher credit quality than many other mutual funds in the “junk bond” market. Wellington Management Company therefore kept a relatively large portion of the fund’s assets in the “upper tier” of the below-investment-grade market during the period. This cautious positioning enables the fund to avoid much of the payment uncertainty and price volatility of the most speculative issues. At times during the fiscal year, however, these riskier bonds offered better performance than others in the junk market, which explains the fund’s underperformance of its benchmark.

The funds’ long-term records continue to be outstanding

It is never prudent to judge a long-term investment on one year of performance. Short-term fluctuations can affect absolute and relative performance from year to year. Long-term performance is a better barometer of how well funds meet their mandates.

As you can see in the table on page 6, all four Vanguard funds have outperformed their respective peer-group averages by significant margins over the past decade. For example, consider a hypothetical $10,000 initial investment in the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund. This investment would have grown to $17,958—or more than $1,300 more than the result of a similar investment in the average competitor.

The investment advisors have extensive experience in security selection and portfolio positioning in a variety of market environments. Vanguard’s low costs have also helped by allowing more of the funds’ gains to be returned to shareholders, where they rightfully belong. Each fund’s expense ratio (operating costs as a percentage of net asset value) is a fraction of the average for its peer group. (For a comparison of the funds’ costs with the averages for their competitors, see the table below.) Costs are especially significant for bond funds, whose returns tend to be concentrated within a narrower range than those of stock funds.

Diversification and balance can help you stay on an even keel

Many investors are frustrated by the seeming complexity and unpredictability of the stock and bond markets. These markets don’t always move the way we expect them to. In the absence of reliable forecasts, many investors are left to ponder what their next move should be amid the flurry of daily market activity that the media pundits insist is important for their portfolios.

At Vanguard, we counsel investors to resist the temptation to change, to tune out the market noise, and to maintain focus on their objectives—whether it is building assets for retirement, saving for college, or some other goal. If you hold a well-thought-out portfolio of stock funds, bond funds, and short-term investments that is diversified appropriately for your goals and circumstances, you should be comfortable staying the course through good and bad markets. Your choice of one or more of the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds can provide you with exposure to income-producing securities that can help you meet your portfolio’s diversification needs.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,



John J. Brennan
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
February 14, 2006

Advisor’s Report

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

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the returns of the different share classes of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund clustered around 2.5%. The Investor Shares of the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 1.4%, and the fund’s Admiral Shares returned 1.5%. Both funds outperformed their benchmarks.

The investment environment

During the fiscal year, the U.S. economy enjoyed respectable growth. Output increased by 3.1% during calendar 2005. Surging energy prices produced a sharp rise in the Consumer Price Index, but the core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy, and the Federal Reserve Board’s preferred inflation gauge (the PCE, or personal consumption expenditure, deflator) suggested that inflation remained under control.

The U.S. Bond market

Although the economic backdrop was unremarkable, the bond market’s interest rate dynamics made for a challenging investment environment. The Treasury yield curve flattened significantly over the fiscal year. The spread between the yields of 2- and 30-year Treasuries narrowed from 131 basis points (1.31 percentage points) at the start of the period to just 16 basis points at the close. This spread peaked at more than 350 basis points in 2003.

Signs of flattening were visible along the entire yield curve:

• The yield of 2-year Treasuries rose by 125 basis points to close the period at 4.52%, only 2 basis points above the federal funds target rate.

• The yield of 5-year Treasuries rose by 76 basis points to close at 4.45%—below the yield of the 2-year note.

• The yield of 10-year Treasuries rose only 39 basis points and finished the period even with that of the 2-year notes, at 4.52%.

• The yield of 30-year Treasury bonds had the smallest increase, advancing just 9 basis points to end the fiscal year at 4.68%.

Corporate bonds trailed most other segments of the fixed income market. The spreads between Treasury and corporate yields increased as investors grew concerned about leveraged buyouts and other strategies designed to benefit equity holders. Lower-quality investment-grade bonds were the weakest performers, primarily because of the automotive sector. For example, bonds rated BBB, the lowest investment-grade rating, underperformed those rated AA by 134 basis points. The automotive sector, which dominates the BBB portion of the index, underperformed AA-rated bonds by –1,073

8




basis points as the major automakers were downgraded to below-investment-grade status. Crossover credits—from those companies that had split credit ratings between investment-grade and sub-investment-grade—and high-yield securities outperformed Treasuries.

In addition to the automotive sector, the packaging, supermarket, and entertainment sectors were some of the weakest performers. Sector leaders were airlines, tobacco, property and casualty insurers, and sovereign bonds.

The management of the funds

During the past fiscal year, the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds outperformed their benchmarks and bested or matched their peer-group averages. The funds benefited from their relatively short durations, and from portfolio positioning that took advantage of the flattening of the yield curve.

The portfolios’ short durations offered some protection from declining prices as the Fed continued to boost interest rates. We also positioned ourselves for the rise in short-term rates by purchasing floating-rate securities. We took advantage of the yield curve’s flattening by underweighting the shortest-maturity securities—those most affected by the Fed’s rate hikes—while also holding securities at the long end of the funds’ typical maturity ranges. In the flattening environment, the prices of longer-term securities were relatively stable, allowing the funds to benefit from their higher yields.

Also contributing to the funds’ performance were strong credit selection among high-yield securities and our avoidance of supermarket securities and the weakest performers in the auto sector.

Although the yield curve’s flattening suggests that the Fed is close to the end of its efforts to tighten monetary policy, we expect additional interest rate hikes. This is reflected in the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund’s bearish duration. We kept the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund’s duration in the bearish range for the first half of the fiscal year, but we’ve since moved the portfolio into the neutral range, consistent with our expectation that intermediate- and longer-term rates will remain relatively stable.

Advisor’s Report

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

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Investor Shares of the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 1.3%, while those of the High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 3.9%. The funds’ Admiral Shares returned 1.4% and 4.0%, respectively.

The investment environment

The Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds invest almost exclusively in the U.S. corporate bond market. Each offers credit and duration risk commensurate with the market segment in which it invests. The performance of both portfolios is affected by the direction of interest rates and the overall health of the domestic economy, which influences business conditions for issuers of corporate bonds.

As Ben Bernanke takes over from Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Fed appears to be in the final phase of its effort to raise interest rates. The yield curve is mostly flat, and the direction of the economy is still positive. Consumers stoked the economy over the past four years, but businesses now need to provide the major stimulus.

The decline in the difference between yields of short-maturity Treasury securities and longer-dated Treasuries over the past year illustrates investors’ uncertainty about the direction of the economy. On January 31, 2005, the 3-month Treasury bill yielded 2.5% and the 30-year Treasury bond yielded 4.6%. One year later, the 3-month bill yielded 4.5% and the 30-year bond 4.7%. The stability of the long bond’s yield indicates that investors both believe in the Fed’s commitment to containing inflation and expect economic growth to be slower than in the past.

The level of additional yield offered by corporate bonds over Treasuries generally depends on the economy, liquidity conditions, and the willingness of creditors to take on risk. While economic growth remained strong over the past 12 months, appetite for credit risk declined marginally as the Fed withdrew liquidity and corporate managements embraced certain shareholder-friendly measures, such as aggressive stock-repurchase programs and special dividend distributions. The shift in focus from repairing balance sheets to enriching shareholders led to a slower pace of ratings upgrades.

From a historical perspective, risk premiums are still reasonably narrow for investment-grade and high-yield bonds. We feel that the risks in the investment-grade and high-yield credit markets are still balanced, and we therefore do not anticipate any major change in direction for spreads over the next six months. However, we believe that risk premiums will increase as the effects of the Fed’s interest rate hikes take hold.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Successes: The fund’s return was very close to that of its benchmark—the Lehman Long Credit A or Better Index—over the past 12 months, despite the fund’s having expenses and the

10




benchmark none. The fund benefited from having a shorter duration than the index as long interest rates rose slightly during the period. The fund also benefited from its holdings in agency debentures, which outperformed corporate issues.

Shortfalls: In comparison with the index, the fund’s performance was hurt by its underweightings in the brokerage and banking industries. Our security selection also detracted from results in these areas.

Positioning: The fund has solid holdings in long-term investment-grade bonds with excellent call protection. The major risk, given the fund’s long duration and maturity, is rising long-term interest rates. While we expect long rates to rise during the year, we are maintaining the duration in line with that of the benchmark because we are uncertain whether near-term economic weakness and technical pressures will push rates lower.

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

High-Yield Corporate Fund

Successes: Although the fund’s return lagged the 4.5% result for its benchmark—the Lehman High Yield Index—there were pockets of strength in the portfolio, particularly holdings in the cable, paper, and health care industries.

Shortfalls: The fund underperformed its benchmark primarily because of weak credit decisions in the auto sector. Results from holdings in the wireline and wireless industries also hurt performance. The fund experienced one default during the year.

Positioning: The fund is consistent in its investment objective and strategy. Within the lower-quality portion of the corporate bond market, the fund follows a relatively high-quality bias by focusing on the “upper tier” of the credit spectrum. We attempt to find companies with more consistent or stable businesses and with more predictable cash flows than those at the lowest-rated end of the “junk” market.

While our exposure to issues rated BBB remained stable during the year, we reduced our B-rated holdings in favor of higher-quality BB issues. We made this small shift, raising quality at the margin, because of the unbalanced risk of lower-rated bonds with expensive valuations.

We still believe that corporate bonds have an asymmetrical payoff—meaning that their prices can decline more readily than they can appreciate. Our strategy is to diversify the portfolio’s holdings among issuers and industries as we seek to mitigate the risk of capital erosion and the effects of credit mistakes. We avoid non-cash-paying securities, and equity-linked securities such as convertibles because of their potential volatility.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund



Notes to Financial Statements



Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet these obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers three classes of shares, Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1.     Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Futures Contracts: The fund 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 fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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 fund has 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, the 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.

41


Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund



The fund has 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.

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 counterparty 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 the 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 is that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund.

4.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

6.     Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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.

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

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

B.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $2,089,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.09% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. 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.

42


Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund



Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized losses of $6,679,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses 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. At January 31, 2006, the fund had $15,889,000 of net swap losses available to reduce ordinary income dividends to shareholders.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $288,742,000 to offset future net capital gains of $12,313,000 through January 31, 2009, $191,725,000 through January 31, 2011, $29,567,000 through January 31, 2013, $49,839,000 through January 31, 2014, and $5,298,000 through January 31, 2015.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $182,062,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $247,487,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $429,549,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2006, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2006 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

Performance Summary



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

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund



Notes to Financial Statements



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

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

1.     Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Futures Contracts: The fund may use 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 fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the 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 fund has 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, the 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 fund has 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.

68


Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund



The 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 counterparty 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 counterparty 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.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

6.     Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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.

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

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

B.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $584,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.58% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C.     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.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized losses of $28,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses 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. At January 31, 2006, the fund had $1,096,000 of net swap losses available to reduce ordinary income dividends to shareholders.

At January 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $10,880,000 to offset future net capital gains through January 31, 2014.

At January 31, 2006, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $35,484,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $68,282,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $103,766,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2006, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2006 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund



Notes to Financial Statements



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

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

1.     Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Repurchase Agreements: The fund may 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.

3.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

5.     Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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.

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

89


Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund



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

B.     Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2006, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets.

C.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $653,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.65% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D.     The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended January 31, 2006, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $18,000.

Performance Summary



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

High-Yield Corporate Fund



Notes to Financial Statements



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

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2.     Repurchase Agreements: The fund may 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.

3.     Federal Income Taxes: The 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.

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

5.     Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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.

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

High-Yield Corporate Fund



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

B.     Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2006, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.04% of the fund’s average net assets.

C.     The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $1,067,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.07% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D.     The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended January 31, 2006, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $30,000.

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

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $1,480,033,000 to offset future net capital gains of $18,887,000 through January 31, 2009, $685,334,000 through January 31, 2010, $721,932,000 through January 31, 2011, and $53,880,000 through January 31, 2012.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



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

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (separate funds of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2006, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses



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

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

The table on page 116 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 116 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 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.

Vanguard’s Policies for Managing Changes to Investment Advisory Arrangements



The boards of trustees of the Vanguard funds and Vanguard have adopted practical and cost-effective policies for managing the funds’ arrangements with their unaffiliated investment advisors, as permitted by an order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Background

In 1993, Vanguard was among the first mutual fund companies to streamline the process of changing a fund’s investment advisory arrangements. In essence, the SEC order enabled the boards of the Vanguard funds to enter into new or revised advisory arrangements without the delay and expense of a shareholder vote. This ability, which is subject to a number of SEC conditions designed to protect shareholder interests, has saved the Vanguard funds and their shareholders several million dollars in proxy costs since 1993. It has also enabled the funds’ trustees to quickly implement advisory changes in the best interest of shareholders.

Over the past 12 years, as the SEC gained experience in this area, it has granted more flexible conditions to other fund companies. Consequently, Vanguard received the SEC’s permission to update its policies concerning its arrangements with outside investment advisors.

Our updated policies

Vanguard is adopting several additional practical and cost-effective policies in managing the Vanguard funds’ investment advisory arrangements:

Statement of Additional Information (SAI). Vanguard funds that employ an unaffiliated investment advisor will now show advisory fee information on an aggregate basis in their SAIs. (A fund’s SAI provides more detailed information than its prospectus and is available to investors online at Vanguard.com® or upon request.) Previously, separate fee schedules were presented for each unaffiliated advisor. Each fund’s SAI will also include the amount paid by the fund for any investment advisory services provided on an at-cost basis by The Vanguard Group. Reporting advisory fees in this manner is the same approach used by other fund companies that have received similar SEC exemptive orders.

Shareholder notification. Like other fund companies, Vanguard will have up to 90 days after a fund enters into a new advisory agreement to notify shareholders of the change. Previously, shareholders were notified at least 30 days before any such change, if possible. In practice, Vanguard expects to continue notifying shareholders of advisory changes as soon as is practical, taking into account opportunities to reduce postage expenses by enclosing notices with previously scheduled mailings.

Redemption fees. Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund charges a 1% redemption fee on shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Previously, redemption fees were required to be waived for 90 days after giving notice of a fund advisory change. The SEC has not generally applied this requirement to other fund companies and has now eliminated it for Vanguard. (Redemption fees—which are paid to the fund, not to Vanguard—are designed to ensure that short-term investors pay their fair share of a fund’s transaction costs.)

Glossary



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.

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 selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.

Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
