President’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

Because investors perceive U.S. government securities as a safe haven in difficult times, the Vanguard Government Bond Funds benefited from turmoil in the global financial markets during the latest fiscal year.

The funds’ returns ranged from about 4.5% at one end of the maturity spectrum (the Short-Term Treasury Fund) to above 9% at the other end (the Long-Term Treasury Fund). Each of the Government Bond Funds outperformed the broad stock market and corporate bonds.

Fund returns were boosted by a frantic “flight to quality,” as many market participants focused solely on safety in reaction to a slumping economy, a massive restructuring of Wall Street, and a level of uncertainty not seen in the financial markets since the 1930s.

The strong demand for Treasury bonds was reflected in a decline in yields that began in the prior fiscal year, when the financial crisis was in its infancy. As a result, the funds ended fiscal 2009 with yields that were notably lower than at the start, and substantially below their levels when the financial crisis began in the summer of 2007.

The yields of each fund’s Investor Shares on January 31 appear in the table on page 4, which also shows the components of the funds’ 12-month total returns. The Fund Profile pages in this report show yields for both share classes of each fund.

In the rush to safety, investors were even willing to forgo yield

The past year was a period of uncommon volatility for bonds, especially in the last six months, when economic uncertainty and market volatility grew more pronounced. So strong was the desire for safety that, as Treasury yields fell, many investors were willing to accept very low—or even slightly negative—yields for the short-term safekeeping of their assets.

 

At the same time, the Federal Reserve Board was steering short-term interest rates lower in its ongoing campaign to encourage lending. During the funds’ fiscal year, the target for the federal funds rate dropped from 3.00% to a range of 0%–0.25%.

For the full 12-month period, the broad taxable bond market returned 2.59%, but that overall result was propped up by returns from Treasury and government agency securities. Returns from most other bond sectors were lower or even negative. Corporate bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index, returned –4.24%. Tax-exempt bonds returned –0.16%.

Stocks fell worldwide as the credit crisis deepened

For stocks, the 12 months ended January 31, 2009, was one of the worst one-year spans in history. The broad U.S. stock market returned about –39%; international stocks returned –45%. The trouble stemmed from the financial sector, where some of the world’s largest institutions imploded largely because of their exposure to low-quality mortgages in the United States. The effects of the credit crisis were wide and deep, with virtually no country or industry sector spared.

The stock market struggled through the first part of the fiscal year, then declined sharply in September, October, and November. December offered a brief reprieve before the market fell again in January.

 

Events favored the funds in a year of market turmoil

Fear and the Fed were the primary drivers of the Vanguard Government Bond Funds’ performance during fiscal 2009.

As the financial crisis spread and the economy faltered, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts put downward pressure on Treasury yields. At the same time, investors’ fears were driving up demand—and prices—for Treasury securities, another factor lowering their yields.

There were periods when the fear factor ebbed somewhat, most notably following the government’s rescue of a major bank in the spring, but such periods were brief. In September, the federal government took control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because of concerns over their solvency.

These actions instantly strengthened the credit quality of their bonds, which until then had lacked explicit government backing, even though both corporations were chartered by the federal government to support mortgage lending. (While the government still does not explicitly guarantee their debt payments, it has committed to provide up to $200 billion additional capital to each entity.) As you would expect, the change was extremely beneficial to the Short-Term Federal Fund, which invests primarily in government agency debt and had more than two-thirds of its assets in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities at the time of the takeover.

 

The takeovers, the forced restructuring of major Wall Street institutions, and prolonged congressional wrangling over a financial-industry bailout ratcheted up the level of uncertainty and demand for safe assets. All five funds benefited from these trends.

The Long-Term Treasury Fund, for example, returned 12% in November alone, followed by almost 9% in December, both monthly records for the fund. The Intermediate-Term Treasury and Short-Term Federal Funds also posted record monthly returns, in November and December, respectively. The GNMA Fund registered a near-record return in November.

But the high level of uncertainty that gripped the market produced GNMA yield spreads—the difference between yields of GNMA securities and Treasuries with comparable maturities—that were at their widest since 1993, even though GNMAs, like Treasuries, are essentially free of credit risk. That is because the Government National Mortgage Association is wholly owned by the federal government.

In January, however, investors regained a bit of risk-tolerance, and the market for new corporate bonds—previously moribund—seemed to be reviving. Accordingly, Treasury prices fell, and yields rose. Reflecting this, the Long-Term Treasury Fund returned less than –8% in January; the other four funds also posted monthly declines, but far smaller. A further influence on Treasury yields was investors’ anticipation of an enormous volume of new government bonds to be issued as part of the economic stimulus program, which was making its way through Congress as the fiscal year drew to a close.

Low costs and the advisors’ skills made for solid long-term results

Fiscal 2009 was clearly an unusual year. At times like this, it’s helpful to step back, catch a breath, and take the long-term view.

In the past year’s environment of declining interest rates, the five funds trailed their index benchmarks primarily because of

the funds’ shorter durations—a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes. Over the past ten years, however, each fund’s annualized average return has generally been in line with its benchmark, and all five have handily outperformed the average results for peer-group funds.

The funds’ long-term track record is impressive. This consistent performance stems largely from the skills of the funds’ advisors—Vanguard Fixed Income Group, which oversees the three Treasury funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund, and Wellington Management Company, LLP, which manages the GNMA Fund.

The advisors benefited from a Vanguard hallmark—the tailwind produced by low costs. Lower costs let investors keep more of a fund’s earnings. They’re also a temptation reducer: Advisors of high-cost fixed income funds may feel pressure to overcome their cost hurdle by taking on extra risk, which may not be rewarded on a consistent basis.

By contrast, the lower costs of the Vanguard Government Bond Funds allow our advisors to concentrate on selecting the best opportunities they can find, even in historically anomalous markets such as we’ve just seen, without wavering from a conservative stance. You can read how they’ve done so in their reports that follow.

 

A sensible allocation plan can help in unsettling times

In tumultuous periods, the temptation to react impulsively to market developments can be strong. Our experience suggests that, more often than not, such an emotional response is counterproductive.

We’ve found that a sensible approach, even in turbulent markets, is to determine a mix of stock, bond, and money market funds that is appropriate for your goals, circumstances, and comfort with the portfolio’s overall level of risk. Then stick with your asset mix through the good times and bad, periodically adjusting it when market forces throw your allocation off track.

A balanced, well-diversified portfolio can provide you with both some protection from the financial market’s deepest swoons and the opportunity to participate in its potential for long-term growth.

As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisors’ Report

 

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

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, returns for the Vanguard Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from 4.49% for the Investor Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund to 9.41% for the Admiral Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund. These returns were remarkable given that broad stock markets, in the U.S. and abroad, fell by double digits, and corporate bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index, returned –4.24%, one of the index’s few declines since its inception in 1973. The funds trailed their benchmark indexes and, except for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, outperformed peer-group funds.

 

The investment environment

Fiscal-year 2009 has been a year of recession. It is a recession like few others, and has spread around the globe. Balance sheets of financial institutions have been impaired by significant losses stemming from illiquid positions in asset-backed and subprime mortgage securities. The laws of supply and demand played out each day in the financial markets as institutions flush with undesirable assets struggled to find liquidity. These struggling markets led to lower prices, and relief came only when the federal government stepped in as the buyer of last resort.

U.S. Treasury investors reaped rewards in this volatile market, as they had a year earlier. Spurred by a flight to quality amid sharply higher-than-normal uncertainty as

well as weakening inflationary pressures, investor demand pushed Treasury prices higher and yields lower, producing strong investment returns for the funds.

Yields declined the most at the shorter end of the Treasury yield curve, causing the spread between 2- and 30-year Treasuries to steepen. Two-year Treasury yields dropped 1.15 percentage points to close the period at 0.95%, while 5-year Treasuries fell 0.89 percentage point, finishing at 1.87%. Yields for 10- and 30-year Treasuries dropped 0.76 and 0.72 percentage points, respectively.

The Federal Reserve has set its target for the federal funds rate, in effect, as low as it can go: This benchmark for short-term rates, which started the fiscal year at 3.00%, stood at a historic low of between 0% and 0.25% at the end of the period. The Fed inflated its own balance sheet by buying assets, including highly rated commercial paper, debt of government-sponsored enterprises, and government mortgage-backed securities (MBS), providing much-needed liquidity to some of the highest-quality sectors in the market. The Fed has even said it will consider purchasing U.S. Treasury securities in an effort to keep long-term interest rates from rising.

 

It may need to. A new fiscal stimulus package will significantly contribute to deficit spending over the next two years. To fund this and other initiatives, the Treasury is expected to issue more than $2 trillion of notes and bonds in 2009, more than twice the amount it sold in 2008. It has increased the size and frequency of Treasury auctions and revived the 3- and 7-year Treasury auctions. The market will face challenges absorbing the additional debt.

The management of the funds

We periodically modify the Treasury funds’ positioning to take advantage of our outlook for changes in the shape of the Treasury yield curve. Currently, the funds are bulleted, meaning that we have overweighted maturities that are close to the midpoint of each fund’s respective maturity range.

We also express our outlook for the change in interest rates across the curve by altering the funds’ durations, a measure of a bond fund’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes. During the year, we maintained a short-duration bias in the Treasury and Short-Term Federal portfolios because we expected the government to orchestrate another Bear Stearns-like rescue of Lehman Brothers, thus avoiding a calamity in the financial markets and pre-empting a panicked flight to quality that would drive Treasury yields lower.

Our outlook was incorrect, and the funds underperformed their benchmarks as a result. The Treasury market rallied as Lehman Brothers sought assistance, failed to find it, and declared bankruptcy.

Because of uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s goal in managing the yield curve, we are maintaining a neutral stance on interest rates in the Treasury funds.

We also took advantage of market opportunities during the year. Although most of the Treasury funds’ assets are traditional Treasury securities, declining inflation expectations made Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities attractive because of their exceptionally narrow spreads compared with nominal Treasury debt. In addition, after a severe sell-off in the agency and government MBS sectors, we once again felt confident enough to add to our holdings in these securities after the Federal Reserve announced its intent to purchase $600 billion of them. The purchases began in January.

The primary driver of the Short-Term Federal Fund’s return was the government’s support of the agency debt and government MBS sectors, areas in which the fund primarily invests. The fund also boosted return by taking advantage of the relative richness and cheapness of selected opportunities, across subsectors and individual securities, created by the year’s tough market environment. Among agency securities, for example, we were able to exchange lower-yielding issues for higher-yielding alternatives without increasing our holdings’ risk attributes. In the government MBS sector, we focused on attractively priced securities backed by “specified pools,” which are baskets of mortgages that tend to have lower prepayment risk.

While not back to “normal,” the agency debt and government MBS sectors were functioning much better toward the end of the fiscal year because of government actions. We expect the government to continue to support the agency debt and government MBS sectors and serve as a backstop against any large-scale under-performance in those sectors. To take advantage of that outlook, the Short-Term Federal Fund is overweighted in these sectors compared with Treasuries.

For the GNMA Fund

For the fiscal year ended January 31, Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 5.65% for Investor Shares and 5.76% for Admiral Shares. The fund slightly trailed its benchmark index and substantially outperformed the average return of peer-group funds.

The investment environment

The fund’s return and share price volatility over the last year do not show any sign that the mortgage market suffered through historic and radical change. Agency mortgage yield spreads relative to Treasury yields soared, nonagency mortgage credit practically evaporated, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—the dominant players in agency mortgages for the last three decades—were put into conservatorship by the government. Though not surprising given these other events, home prices declined year-over-year for the first time since the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight started keeping a price series in 1976. The mortgage market drove front-page headlines and investor blog discussions on a daily basis.

Government intervention, which has included programs to mitigate foreclosures as well as to purchase agency mortgage securities, has boosted the stature of Ginnie Mae, the other mortgage agency and the only one backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. While broadening its mission and potential borrower base, GNMA has remained largely unaltered. It has increased its share of the agency mortgage market and now guarantees about 40% of new issuance, up from 10% just one year ago, which creates more opportunities for funds like ours to choose securities with attributes we prefer.

The Investor Shares returned 5.65% for the year, surprisingly close to the fund’s longer-term returns, despite the market turmoil. This return was also comparable to short- to intermediate-term Treasury returns, even though the sharp rally brought Treasury bill rates near zero. In effect, the perhaps “boring” attributes that the fund has always held so dear—Treasury backing, manageable liquidity, and consistency—have worked to the fund’s advantage over the last few years.

The fund’s successes

The fund has generated a favorable return compared with much of the fixed income market and has shown fairly low price volatility, thus avoiding being whipsawed by rate changes or large moves in mortgage yield spreads. Our quantitatively based pool selection process, which identifies the best GNMA pass-through pools to own, continues to serve shareholders well, especially as investors expect the rate of refinancing to rise, now that mortgage rates have fallen to about 5%.

The fund’s shortfalls

We wish we could have captured more price gains when rates started their acute decline last autumn, although it appears the fund weathered that move better than some of its competitors. In addition, the fund holds a sizeable amount of 6.0% and 6.5% coupon GNMAs. Though carefully selected, these securities still face some prepayment risk, which is growing.

The fund’s positioning

With cash rates below 1% and Treasury yields at 2%–3%, we are comfortable with 4.5% GNMA yields for several reasons.

First, we do not expect a material increase in short-term Treasury yields for at least several months. Second, the incremental yield spread of GNMAs is still fairly generous and wider than its long-run average of about 1.5 percentage points over Treasuries. Third, although there is strong government sponsorship of the sector, since the administration’s plan for a broad economic recovery depends on reducing consumer borrowing rates, GNMA yields are likely to be less sensitive to a general rate decline. This is because of investor preference for GNMAs given their ultimate full-faith-and-credit government backing. Fourth, higher coupons are not trading at egregiously high prices, so investors are not disregarding prepayment risk.

Lastly, most GNMAs have a low duration—or interest rate sensitivity—so their hurdle rate versus government yields is low. In fact, GNMAs outyield the 30-year Treasury bond by 0.5 to 1 percentage point and have only a small fraction of the Treasury bond’s interest rate risk; mortgages, however, have prepayment risk and Treasury bonds don’t.

That leads us to highlight prepayment risk, a nonissue over the past year but an increasing concern looking forward. That concern is driven by government policy action that is hard to anticipate, particularly with a new presidential administration. For that reason, we are unlikely to move most of the fund into higher-coupon GNMAs because we would be more exposed to prepayment risk.

This does not mean that we intend to manage to a long-duration stance that is predicated on further rate declines. We do not think a large rate decline is likely and prefer a defensive duration position given the currently low absolute rates and the near-uniform pessimism about our economic future. Remember, though, that the fund is a bond fund and, like all bond funds, will be hurt by interest rate spikes; even with that, the fund’s strategy is relatively predictable during an age in which so many investment trends and valuations seem hard to comprehend.

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

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

3. 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.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

Short-Term Treasury Fund

 

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,815,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 0.73% 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 $19,045,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2009, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $49,012,000 and $9,370,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Notes experienced deflation adjustments that reduced current-year interest income for financial statement purposes by an amount greater than the reduction of taxable income; the additional income reduction will be deferred for tax purposes until it is used to offset future inflation adjustments that increase taxable income. At January 31, 2009, the fund had included $19,959,000 of these deferred deflation adjustments in income dividends paid to shareholders; this amount is reflected in overdistributed net investment income and as a reduction of the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation of investment securities.

The fund had realized losses totaling $21,002,000 through January 31, 2009, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,622,103,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $106,528,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $113,994,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $7,466,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

 

26

 


Short-Term Treasury Fund

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2009, based on the inputs used to value them:

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Short-Term Federal Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

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

3. 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.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

Short-Term Federal Fund

 

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $911,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 0.36% 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 capital loss carryforward of $24,700,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2009, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2009, the fund had $1,658,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

The fund had realized losses totaling $14,698,000 through January 31, 2009, which are deferred and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,509,892,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $88,176,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $89,908,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,732,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2009, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2009 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2009, based on the inputs used to value them:

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

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

3. 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.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

 

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $2,019,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 0.81% 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 $20,995,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2009, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $25,178,000 and $40,634,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Notes experienced deflation adjustments that reduced current-year interest income for financial statement purposes by an amount greater than the reduction of taxable income; the additional income reduction will be deferred for tax purposes until it is used to offset future inflation adjustments that increase taxable income. At January 31, 2009, the fund had included $9,478,000 of these deferred deflation adjustments in income dividends paid to shareholders; this amount is reflected in overdistributed net investment income and as a reduction of the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation of investment securities.

The fund had realized losses totaling $24,307,000 through January 31, 2009, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,857,688,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $339,446,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $349,796,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $10,350,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

GNMA Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard GNMA Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 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. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund has entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the initial sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold (Other Assets) or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased (Liabilities) in the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations to deliver purchased securities.

3. 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.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

 

64

 


GNMA Fund

 

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.

 

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, 2009, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $7,528,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 3.01% 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.

The fund used a capital loss carryforward of $64,188,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2009, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. The fund had no capital gains available for distribution at January 31, 2009.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $31,472,769,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $470,068,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $501,111,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $31,043,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the fund purchased $22,701,310,000 of investment securities and sold $16,163,952,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At January 31, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 2 inputs.

Long-Term Treasury Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

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

3. 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.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

6. Other: Interest income 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.

 

 

76

 


Long-Term Treasury Fund

 

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,032,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 0.41% 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 $14,916,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2009, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $50,927,000 and $53,265,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Bonds experienced deflation adjustments that reduced current-year interest income for financial statement purposes by an amount greater than the reduction of taxable income; the additional income reduction will be deferred for tax purposes until it is used to offset future inflation adjustments that increase taxable income. At January 31, 2009, the fund had included $930,000 of these deferred deflation adjustments in income dividends paid to shareholders; this amount is reflected in overdistributed net investment income and as a reduction of the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation of investment securities.

The fund had realized losses totaling $14,999,000 through January 31, 2009, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,140,755,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $259,840,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $274,979,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $15,139,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

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

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard GNMA Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”

 

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

 

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

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, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.26% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.26% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

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.

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

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

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

 

 

84

 


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

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

The People Who Govern Your Fund

 

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

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 156 Vanguard funds.

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

President’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

When stocks struggle, bonds typically shine, but there was nothing normal about the 12 months ended January 31, 2009. Amid turmoil in the global credit markets and the demise of leading financial institutions, investors stampeded to the safety and liquidity of U.S. Treasury securities, creating unusually stiff headwinds for almost all other fixed income securities.

The Federal Reserve Board responded swiftly and aggressively with innovative programs and dramatic cuts in short-term interest rate targets to try to unlock frozen credit markets. Despite these measures and the attractive yields offered on other high-quality fixed income securities, investors overwhelmingly chose Treasuries, bidding up their prices and pushing down their yields.

In this environment, the income component of returns for Investor Shares of the Corporate Bond Funds ranged from 4.48% to 6.83%, similar to results for fiscal 2008. But because of investors’ increasing risk aversion and shrinking demand, the prices of many of the funds’ holdings—even those of the highest quality—fell significantly. As a result, capital returns for Investor Shares, which ranged from –8.83% for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund to –23.02% for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, pulled the funds’ total returns into negative territory, as their yields surged. (For details, including the funds’ 30-day SEC yields, see the table on page 5.)

In a flight to safety, investors chose low-yield Treasuries

As economic uncertainty and market volatility grew more pronounced in the second half of the fiscal year, investors sought the relative safety of short-term government issues. This drove prices for Treasuries higher, and their yields lower. In some cases, investors were willing to accept very low—or even slightly negative—yields for the short-term safekeeping of their assets.

At the same time, the Federal Reserve Board steered short-term interest rates lower in its ongoing campaign to encourage lending. During the funds’ fiscal year, the target for the federal funds rate dropped from 3.00% to a range of 0.00%–0.25%.

For the full 12-month period, the broad taxable bond market returned 2.59%, and tax-exempt bonds returned –0.16%—somewhat pedestrian (if disappointing) returns that masked a year of uncommon volatility for bonds.

Stocks fell worldwide as the credit crisis deepened

The 12 months ended January 31, 2009, was one of the worst-ever one-year spans for stocks. The broad U.S. stock market returned about –39%; international stocks registered roughly –45% return for the period. The trouble stemmed from the financial sector, where some of the world’s largest institutions imploded largely because of their exposure to low-quality mortgages in the United States.

The effects of the credit crisis were wide and deep, with virtually no country or industry sector spared.

The stock market struggled through the first part of the fiscal year, then declined sharply in September, October, and November. December offered a brief reprieve before the market fell again in January.

Credit quality was in the eye of the investor

The baseline for evaluating the yield of any bond is the yield of its comparable-maturity, risk-free U.S. Treasury security. As investors take on additional risk (in credit quality and maturity), they require a higher yield as compensation, resulting in an interest rate differential, or spread, above the comparable Treasury bond.

Over the last 12 months, however, it appeared that many anxious investors were not distinguishing between actual and perceived risk. This led to a dramatic widening of interest rate spreads, even for high-quality issues. Broadly speaking, investors divided bonds into two categories—bonds issued or backed by the U.S. government and everything else. The majority of the Corporate Bond Funds’ holdings are in the “everything else” category.

Securities backed by assets (such as diversified pools of short-term prime auto loans and prime credit-card receivables)

and commercial mortgage-backed securities were hit especially hard, even though many are Aaa-rated. For nine years, yields on these securities averaged approximately 1 percentage point above those for comparable Treasuries. But by late 2008, yield spreads had spiked to more than 9 percentage points for asset-backed and more than 12 percentage points for commercial mortgage-backed securities. Even though the underlying credit quality of most of these bonds did not change materially, investors tarred them with the same brush that they applied to subprime-mortgage-related and other troubled asset-backed securities.

The poor performance of holdings in the asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities sector weighed on the returns of both the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds. These bonds represented about 25% and 10% of the funds’ respective assets during the year, but are not included in the funds’ all-corporate benchmarks. As we reported a year ago, Vanguard Fixed Income Group (the advisor for these two funds) shifted some assets from Treasuries into these and other securities that appeared more attractive. Although these high-quality securities generated beneficial income levels for the funds, their prices—and total returns—suffered.

In contrast, the returns of the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds were several steps ahead of those of their benchmark indexes and the average returns of their peer

funds. The funds’ advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP, positioned the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund defensively early in the year, with relatively light exposure to banking, brokerage, finance, and consumer discretionary companies—all victims of credit-market upheaval and the economic slowdown.

The high-yield segment of the bond market, which is particularly vulnerable to tight credit conditions, suffered by far its worst-ever 12-month performance. Yield spreads widened to a record month-end level of almost 19 percentage points in November, before improving a few percentage points in both December and January, as investors began to reconsider bonds that were paying interest rates higher than the rock-bottom rates of Treasuries. Against this backdrop, the High-Yield Corporate Fund benefited from its relatively higher credit quality and lighter exposure to the more poorly performing technology and materials sectors.

Credit analysis and discipline support the funds’ long-term returns

income investing. This is a tribute to the strong credit analysis and disciplined strategies of the funds’ advisors. For example, the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds were well-served by the advisor’s investments in high-quality asset- and commercial mortgage-backed securities over this longer period. And all four funds benefit from low expenses, which help investors keep more of the funds’ returns.

Focus on diversification and low costs

For more than a year, global financial markets have been reeling from an unnerving confluence of events—including record-high oil prices (already fading from memory), credit-market gridlock, and major economies falling into deep recession. Even strong credit analysis, portfolio balance, and diversification provided seemingly little support for returns. But our experience suggests that these time-tested fundamentals, plus low costs—all of which are embodied in the Corporate Bond Funds—can help put investors in a better position to benefit over the long term from the eventual recovery in the financial markets.

 

The Corporate Bond Funds can serve important roles for income-oriented investors within a balanced portfolio. For those investors seeking an alternative to money market funds, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund may be one option to consider. But keep in mind that unlike a money market fund—which is managed to try to maintain a constant net asset value of $1 per share—the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund takes on more risk in the expectation of earning a higher return. This risk can manifest itself in price declines, as the recent fiscal year has demonstrated. These risk-return dynamics are amplified as you invest in the two longer-maturity Investment-Grade Funds and the lower-quality High-Yield Corporate Fund, but each fund can play a useful part in a portfolio consistent with your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisors’ Report

 

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

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds turned in disappointing results as the corporate bond market came under severe stress. The Investor Shares of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –4.35% (Admiral and Institutional Shares returned –4.26% and –4.22%, respectively). The Investor Shares of the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –7.56% (Admiral Shares returned –7.47%).

Reflecting weakness in their asset- and mortgage-backed holdings, both funds lagged their all-corporate benchmark indexes. The Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund modestly outperformed the average result of its peers, while the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund trailed its peer-group average.

The investment environment

As the investment environment deteriorated, especially in the second half of the fiscal year, global economies and financial markets faced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The high-profile collapse or rescue of several major financial institutions in the United States and abroad served as a painful reminder of just how intertwined credit markets have become, and how important investor confidence is to keep credit markets functioning.

 

When lenders became unwilling to extend credit—to other lenders, as well as consumers, small businesses, and multinational corporations—economic growth decelerated. In December, the U.S. economy was officially declared to be in a recession, with its start dated to late 2007. Major European economies also fell into recession. Prospects for economic growth in the United States and abroad grew dimmer early in 2009.

The Federal Reserve Board responded to the slumping economy and gridlock in the credit markets with several programs to encourage capital flows. The Fed also lowered its target for the federal funds rate to a range of 0.00%–0.25%, essentially as low as the target can go. In February, after the funds’ fiscal year-end, the U.S. Treasury Department unveiled its new Financial Stability Plan in a continuing attempt to repair the financial system. The plan includes programs to deal with banks’ troubled assets and to support a consumer and business lending initiative. Also in February, Congress passed President Barack Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus package.

A year ago, we noted the accelerating rate of consumer inflation—driven, in part, by rising prices for energy and other commodities. But after the abrupt reversal in those prices in midsummer, and the onset of the global economic slowdown, concerns have shifted to deflation and the prospects of an extended period of economic weakness.

The U.S. bond market

When credit markets seized up, liquidity in the bond market evaporated, making trading increasingly difficult even in the government bond market. On many occasions, there was no bid price for bonds, or the spread between the bid and asked price (the buy-sell spread) was exceptionally wide. Unlike stocks, which generally trade on a formal, centralized, and highly automated exchange, bonds trade through dealers in decentralized, over-the-counter markets. Along with other investors, bond brokers and dealers—including large investment banks—lost their appetite for risk and became unwilling or unable to risk their scarce capital by taking positions in securities they might not be able to sell. The September bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers—a central player in the fixed income market—was the straw that broke the bond market’s back.

As the corporate bond market began to unravel, investors stampeded into Treasuries and other U.S. government bonds, bidding up their prices and driving down their yields. The rest of the bond market, by contrast, suffered one of its worst 12-month periods as interest rate spreads above Treasuries widened to historic levels. In particular, spreads for asset-backed and commercial-mortgage-backed securities increased dramatically by late 2008, to more than 9 and 12 percentage points, respectively, above comparable Treasuries.

Management of the funds

During the fiscal year, both the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds maintained their customary emphasis on high-quality securities. These include asset-backed and residential-mortgage-backed bonds (such as prime, hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages that

feature an initial fixed rate for a period of 5 years, for example, followed by annual interest rate adjustments). Despite the high quality of these bonds (many are Aaa-rated), their prices fell amid investors’ heightened risk aversion. We expect that our investment in these types of securities will eventually be repaid as normalcy returns to the credit markets. Because the benchmark indexes for the funds hold only corporate securities, the funds’ more diversified holdings weighed on their relative performance.

Our light exposure to Treasuries, and the relatively short maturity of our Treasury holdings, also held back results as longer-maturity Treasuries turned in the best performances for the fiscal year.

At fiscal year-end, the funds’ durations (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) were near the midpoint of their typical ranges. We continued to maintain a high level of diversification among issuers and high credit quality. Over the past year, the ratio of credit downgrades to upgrades by the rating agencies was 7 to 1, and we expect credit fundamentals to continue to erode in 2009.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The investment environment

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund invests primarily in corporate bonds with 10 to 30 years until maturity. The fund’s returns are affected by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions, which in turn affect the creditworthiness of the issuers of corporate bonds.

We believe the economy is in the midst of a significant slowdown that should persist at least through 2009. This slowdown implies that corporate bond yield spreads should remain wider than historical norms. Current valuations on many corporate bonds, however, are even lower than we think is justified by our economic outlook. One reason for this is the very poor liquidity in the secondary market for corporate bonds, a result of deleveraging and risk reduction among the major banks and market makers.

The Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury policymakers are focused on two objectives. The first is to stabilize the economy through fiscal and monetary measures. We believe these efforts will be successful, but it will take time for the full impact of these policies to flow through to the economy. The second focus is to restore liquidity to credit

markets, through various lending facilities, debt guarantees, and direct capital injections into troubled financial companies. We believe this set of initiatives will be effective in improving credit market liquidity conditions and will improve corporate bond valuations, perhaps well in advance of stabilization in the economy.

The fund’s successes

In 2007 and throughout 2008, we shifted the fund’s emphasis away from corporate bonds and toward debt issued by the Treasury and U.S. government agencies. This strategy—along with underweighted positions in the banking and brokerage sectors, and successful security selection within the insurance sector—contributed positively to relative performance. The Investor Shares’ –3.45% return (–3.35% for Admiral Shares) was several steps ahead of the return of the fund’s benchmark index and the average return of peer funds.

The fund’s shortfalls

The fund’s total return was hurt by the widening of credit spreads, which led to deterioration in the principal value of some holdings. This more than offset the benefit of the decline in Treasury rates (and the rise in Treasury bond prices) during the 12 months. In general, we invest the majority of the fund in investment-grade corporate credits, and large shifts away from the investment-grade corporate bond market—in either direction—are unusual.

 

The fund’s positioning

The fund’s position in long-term investment-grade bonds with excellent call protection should contribute to income stability. The major risks to the fund are a rise in long-term interest rates and a widening in corporate bond risk premiums.

Corporate bond sector valuations reflect credit-loss scenarios that are worse than our economic expectations would suggest. We do not anticipate that spreads will return to historical averages in the near term, given the economic headwinds, but we do believe that the liquidity premium can decline. As a result, our bias is to add exposure to sectors that will directly benefit from government efforts to support financial stability and credit market liquidity, such as financials, including money center banks. We advocate reducing the fund’s positions in sectors that are more exposed to the evolving economic weakness, including cyclical areas such as retailers.

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

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

The investment environment

Despite the December and January rally in high-yield bond prices, our view on the investment environment for high-yield bonds, and corporate credit in general, remains cautious. We continue to believe that the domestic and global economies will suffer prolonged weakness, resulting in sustained higher default rates and low recovery rates for unsecured creditors. Nonetheless, we are hopeful that current income generation in the high-yield segment will more than offset these headwinds, resulting in a positive absolute total return for the coming year.

Over the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury took dramatic and unprecedented measures to ensure the survival of the U.S. banking system. Such measures included the first phase of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP); reduction of the federal funds and discount rates to 0.00%–0.25% and 0.50%, respectively, from 3.00% and 3.50% at the beginning of the fiscal year; and intervention on behalf of money market funds. Among many other initiatives, these measures appeared to have been successful in lending some stability to the financial markets.

As we write this letter in early February, despite the federal government’s ongoing and projected efforts to stabilize the financial markets and banking system and provide a foundation for recovery, credit conditions for corporations and consumers still appear to be worsening. As of December 2008, Fed surveys indicated that loan officers were continuing to tighten their loan standards to small and medium businesses. Fourth-quarter manufacturing production was down 14.9% over the previous quarter on an annualized basis. Capacity utilization was just 73.6% in December, the lowest level since April 1983. At the same time, Fed data on the change in real household net worth and data from the Conference Board on consumer confidence were at all-time lows. Combined with rapidly rising unemployment rates and no visible end to the housing downturn, the current recession is foremost on our minds. Consensus 2009 real gross domestic product growth forecasts are around –1.5%.

High-yield borrowers are generally the marginal corporate borrowers and the most vulnerable to credit contraction. Despite the worsening macroeconomic conditions, 2008 default rates among high-yield borrowers were 4%, only slightly above the long-term historical average of 2.7%. Default risk, however, clearly figures in future expectations. Moody’s Investors Service is forecasting a 15.1% default rate for 2009. Many investors also calculate an implied default rate from current market spreads: At January 31, the broad-market spread as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index was almost 16 percentage points over Treasuries, with large differences among

 

 

13

 

 


bonds of various credit quality (Ba-rated bonds, +11 percentage points; B-rated bonds, +14 percentage points; and Caa-rated bonds, +25 percentage points). Future implied default rates are around 18%, according to a JPMorgan study. It remains possible that cumulative 3-year default rates could meet or even exceed JPMorgan’s forecast of greater than 50%.

Many future defaults may come from the leveraged-buyout segment of the high-yield market. In prior letters, we have discussed the massive amounts of secured bank debt issued to fund the leveraged buyout craze between 2005 and 2007. By some measures, total leveraged loan issuance for buyouts over this time period was nearly $300 billion, compared with a high-yield market size of around $500 billion. High-yield bonds are generally more junior to these bank claims and would suffer disproportionate losses if these companies default. Another form of de facto default is the debt-for-debt exchange, a recapitalization tool used to keep a business out of bankruptcy while reducing its debt burden. We are likely to see a dramatic increase in such attempted exchanges in 2009, because they may emerge as the least-damaging outcome to bondholders facing weak covenants and aggressive buyout owners.

The high-yield market performed poorly for the year ended January 31, 2009. The broad market as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index returned –20.67%. Ba-rated bonds returned –11.37%, B-rated bonds returned –20.87%, and Caa-rated bonds returned –39.14%. The lowest-quality category, Ca/D-rated bonds, returned a dismal –50.27%. The fund returned a disappointing –16.19% for Investor Shares, but outperformed the result of its benchmark index and the average return of its peers by more than 4 percentage points.

The fund’s successes

The fund benefited from its relative underweightings in the poorly performing information technology and building materials sectors and its overweighting in better-performing utilities. Credit decisions in the metals, energy, and cable sectors also helped performance for the year, as did the fund’s higher quality positioning.

The fund’s shortfalls

The fund was hurt by its relative underweighting in the wireless and home construction sectors, and in financials—which benefited from government rescue efforts. Credit decisions in the financial and transportation sectors also held back performance.

The fund’s positioning

The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a meaningful exposure to relatively higher-quality names within the high-yield market. We believe these credits have more stable businesses and more predictable cash flows than those at the lower end of the quality spectrum.

 

 

14

 

 

 


Our preference for higher-quality credits reflects our desire to minimize defaults and to provide stable income. Given our view that credit availability will remain scarce and that corporate defaults will rise significantly, we believe this positioning is appropriate going forward.

We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry and we continue to avoid non-cash-paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity-linked securities such as convertibles because of the potential volatility of these instruments.

Financial Statements

 

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2009

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by bond type (U.S. government and agency issues, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds, etc.); corporate bonds are further classified by industry sector. Details are reported for each of the fund’s 50 largest individual holdings and for investments that, in total for any issuer, represent more than 1% of the fund’s net assets. The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the complete listing of the fund’s holdings is available electronically on Vanguard.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), or you can have it mailed to you without charge by calling 800-662-7447. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the SEC on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers three classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, tenure, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

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

3. Swap Contracts: The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps, to simulate investments in long bond positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment amount (premium) from the buyer that is a fixed percentage amount applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the seller agrees to pay the buyer 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.

 

 

29

 

 

 


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 Statement of Net Assets. 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 occurrence of a credit event (for selling credit protection), periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss). The primary risks associated with selling credit protection are that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund from the buyer will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund for such instrument, and that the debt instrument will be illiquid. A primary risk for all types of 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 taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

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, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $4,581,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 1.83% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. 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, 2009, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $179,000 (an annual rate of 0.00% of average net assets).

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.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $27,542,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2009, the fund had available realized losses of $144,071,000 to offset future net capital gains of $8,014,000 through January 31, 2011, $29,567,000 through January 31, 2013, $49,839,000 through January 31, 2014, $31,981,000 through January 31, 2015, and $24,670,000 through January 31, 2018.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $20,463,060,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,734,554,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $139,169,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,873,723,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2009, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2009 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

G. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2009, based on the inputs used to value them:

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2009

Details are reported for each of the fund’s 50 largest individual holdings and for investments that, in total for any issuer, represent more than 1% of the fund’s net assets. The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the complete listing of the fund’s holdings is available electronically on Vanguard.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), or you can have it mailed to you without charge by calling 800-662-7447. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the SEC on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment

Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

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

3. Swap Contracts: The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps, to simulate investments in long bond positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment amount (premium) from the buyer that is a fixed percentage amount applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the seller agrees to pay the buyer 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.

47

 

 


Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. 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 occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss). The primary risks associated with selling credit protection are that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund from the buyer will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund for such instrument, and that the debt instrument will be illiquid. A primary risk for all types of 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 taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,822,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.73% 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 $7,430,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

 

48

 

 


Intermediate-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 $522,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2009, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $9,314,000 and $18,624,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,162,888,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $783,256,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $120,756,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $904,012,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At January 31, 2009, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in March 2009 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2009, based on the inputs used to value them:

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2009

 

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by bond type (U.S. government and agency issues, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds, etc.); corporate bonds are further classified by industry sector. Details are reported for each of the fund’s 50 largest individual holdings and for investments that, in total for any issuer, represent more than 1% of the fund’s net assets. The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the complete listing of the fund’s holdings is available electronically on Vanguard.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), or you can have it mailed to you without charge by calling 800-662-7447. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the SEC on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 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. Swap Contracts: The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps, to simulate investments in long bond positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment amount (premium) from the buyer that is a fixed percentage amount applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the seller agrees to pay the buyer 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 notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. 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 occurrence of a credit event (for selling credit protection), periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss). The primary risks associated with selling credit protection are that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund from the buyer will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund for such instrument, and that the debt instrument will be illiquid. A primary risk for all types of swaps is that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund.

3. 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.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

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

6. Other: Interest income 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, 2009, 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, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,525,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 0.61% 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, 2009, the fund had available realized losses of $99,505,000 to offset future net capital gains of $281,000 through January 31, 2011, $15,169,000 through January 31, 2015 and $84,055,000 through January 31, 2017.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $600,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,012,801,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $364,852,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $153,645,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $518,497,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

G. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At January 31, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 2 inputs.

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/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2009

 

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by bond type (U.S. government and agency issues, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds, etc.); corporate bonds are further classified by industry sector. Details are reported for each of the fund’s 50 largest individual holdings and for investments that, in total for any issuer, represent more than 1% of the fund’s net assets. The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the complete listing of the fund’s holdings is available electronically on Vanguard.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov), or you can have it mailed to you without charge by calling 800-662-7447. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the SEC on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

High-Yield Corporate Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 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 taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended January 31, 2006–2009), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. 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, 2009, 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, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,798,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.72% 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, 2009, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $23,000 (an annual rate of 0.00% of average net assets).

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, 2009, the fund had available realized losses of $2,401,985,000 to offset future net capital gains of $669,184,000 through January 31, 2010, $721,932,000 through January 31, 2011, $53,881,000 through January 31, 2012, $19,765,000 through January 31, 2016, $595,940,000 through January 31, 2017, and $341,283,000 through January 31, 2018.

At January 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,430,297,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,710,253,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $41,132,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,751,385,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F.

The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

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

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2009, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2009 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 accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the High-Yield Corporate Fund’s 1% fee on redemptions of shares held for less than one year, nor do they include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

 

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

 

You can find more information about the 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 your fund’s current prospectus.

1  The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares, 0.13% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.15% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.28% for Investor Shares and 0.16% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition 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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

86

 

 


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

 

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

The People Who Govern Your Fund

 

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

 

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 156 Vanguard funds.

 

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