President’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

Market sentiment improved dramatically during the past six months as investors became encouraged by the restoration of some normalcy in the U.S. credit market and what appeared to be the early stages of economic recovery. Investors began to embrace the higher yields offered by corporate bonds, driving down prices for Treasury securities and creating headwinds for the U.S. Government Bond Funds.

In this environment, the funds produced half-year returns for Investor Shares that ranged from –2.19% for the Long-Term Treasury Fund to 3.61% for the GNMA Fund. Reversing last year’s rankings, investment-grade corporate bonds generally outperformed their Treasury and government counterparts across all maturities in the six months ended July 31.

The yield picture for government bonds was more complex. Short-term yields continued the general decline that began in late 2007. In contrast, intermediate- and long-term yields rose (and prices fell); the higher yields induced buyers into the government’s auction of record amounts of new Treasury securities. Bucking this trend, the yield of the GNMA Fund declined from 4.45% on January 31 to 3.94% on July 31, reflecting some stabilization in the housing market and a return to a more normal relationship with Treasuries. Please see the table on page 5 for fund yields and the components of returns.

Investors departed Treasuries for higher-yielding bonds

For the six months, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of the investment-grade market, returned more than 4%. That return paled, however, next to the 30% return of lower-quality bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index. By spring, investors seemed to gain confidence and started shifting from U.S. Treasury bonds to corporate issues—particularly below-investment-grade bonds, which offered the highest yields. Municipal bonds also benefited from government support, with the broad tax-exempt market returning about 4% for the six months.

 

Efforts to combat the financial crisis have included a combination of aggressive monetary policy and large fiscal programs, most notably the nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. On the monetary side, the Fed has kept its target for short-term interest rates at an all-time low of 0% to 0.25%, a target it expects to maintain for “an extended period.” For the last several months, the Fed has been purchasing Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, an effort to keep longer-term interest rates and borrowing costs low. In recent months, however, Treasury yields have risen amid concerns about longer-term budget deficits.

Stocks rose on signs that recovery is taking root

For the six months ended July 31, the broad U.S. stock market returned about 23%. The period began in gloom, with stocks declining in February and early March before staging a strong springtime rally. After pausing in June, the market surged nearly 8% in July as investors reacted to improvement in the housing market, an increase in manufacturing activity, rising corporate earnings, and cautiously optimistic comments from the Federal Reserve Board.

Global stock markets performed even better, advancing almost 38% for the period. Encouraging earnings reports and higher commodity prices lifted international stocks off their lows in early March. After three straight months of solid gains, the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA fell slightly in June before rallying again in July.

Although stock markets worldwide have been in recovery mode for five months and various economic signs point to the recession’s end, the health of global financial markets and economies remained fragile as the period ended. Unemployment, in particular, was still a major concern both in the United States and abroad.

Yield mattered more, safety mattered less

U.S. Treasury securities, the fixed income market’s star performers in 2008, took a back seat during the latest six months as aggressive efforts to stabilize the credit

markets and jump-start the economy began to gain traction, reducing the perceived risk of corporate bonds. And some investors became willing to take on more risk in hope of returns higher than the near-zero rates on many money market funds. Toward the end of the period, however, there were some signs that investors’ risk appetite might be less hearty.

The changing yield environment affected the Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds in different ways. Among the three Treasury funds, Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund was the best performer with a return of 0.90% for the six months ended July 31. (All returns discussed here are for Investor Shares.) As short-term interest rates continued to fall, the prices of the fund’s holdings rose, making it the only one of the three Treasury funds to enjoy a positive capital return.

The Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund (with an average maturity of about 6 years) almost broke even. Interest income was just short of compensating for the portfolio’s capital decline as interest rates trended up, resulting in a six-month return of –0.09%.

The weakest performer was the Long-Term Treasury Fund (with an average maturity of more than 18 years). The fund returned –2.19%, as the prices of its holdings fell more than 4%. One factor fueling the interest rate rise (and the fund’s price decline) was the government’s issuance of record amounts of new

Treasury bonds to fund the budget deficit as well as the stimulus and bank rescue programs. As these new securities were brought to market, investors demanded higher rates on their loans to the U.S. Treasury.

The rise in long-term rates also reflected some growing concern about the potential inflationary impact of government spending and of the Federal Reserve’s plans (announced in March) to buy up to $300 billion of long-term Treasury bonds—the first such purchases since 1960.

The returns of each of the Treasury funds topped those of their benchmark indexes. The advisor boosted the funds’ performance by holding modest amounts of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities—which rallied on inflationary concerns—and by maintaining shorter-than-benchmark durations (a measure of maturity and interest-rate sensitivity) in the rising-rate environment.

Aided by a rally in government mortgage-backed and agency securities, the Short-Term Federal Fund returned 2.12%, well ahead of its benchmark index. And the GNMA Fund delivered the best results with a 3.61% return, in line with its benchmark index; the prices of these securities rose as last year’s elevated risk premium returned to more normal levels.

All five funds have benefited from the talents of their 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—and their low costs. Low expenses are an important advantage in fixed income investing, where relatively small margins separate the better- and weaker-performing securities. Low expenses also mean that a portfolio manager doesn’t need to venture into riskier securities to produce competitive performance.

Diversification helps within and across asset classes

Investors battered by last year’s steep declines in virtually all asset classes—except for ultra-safe U.S. Treasury securities—have been quick to respond to encouraging news in 2009. The rally has been especially striking among lower-quality stocks and bonds, which were among the hardest-hit last year. However, as is often the case, contradictory signals abound in the marketplace. Even as investors began to seek the higher yields offered by riskier corporate bonds, more corporations were experiencing downgrades in their credit ratings, and more were defaulting on their bonds.

Trying to anticipate which way the bond market may turn next can be a futile endeavor, much like trying to time the ups and downs of the stock market. Vanguard encourages you to focus instead on the time-tested principles of balance and diversification in your investment portfolio. Just as diversification among asset classes is critical, diversification within asset classes is an important part of a well-constructed plan. This reality has been illustrated in bonds—which historically have been less volatile than some other asset classes—by the significant realignments in credit spreads and bond yields over the past 18 months.

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 six months ended July 31, returns for Investor Shares of the Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from –2.19% for the Long-Term Treasury Fund to 2.12% for the Short-Term Federal Fund. All of the funds outperformed their benchmark indexes. Compared with the average returns for their respective peer groups, the Short-and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds outperformed, the Short-Term Federal Fund was in line, and the Long-Term Treasury Fund lagged.

 

The investment environment

The six months ended July 31 were much less eventful than calendar year 2008. Last year was an exceptionally strong one for Treasury securities, as anxious investors turned to them for refuge from the markets’ turmoil. These highly favorable conditions dissipated as government efforts to stabilize credit markets and the economy proved broadly successful.

This reversal has been painful for Treasury investors, especially at the long end of the yield curve. The prospect of improving economic and credit-market conditions, combined with the government’s need to fund its rescue efforts, has been a potent formula for rising interest rates and falling Treasury bond prices.

The market anticipates that, to pay for the government’s stimulus and bailout programs, the Treasury will issue more than $2 trillion in new securities during calendar year 2009, roughly 15 times the amount issued in 2007. To accommodate so much volume, the Treasury has increased the frequency of its security auctions and reintroduced the 7-year Treasury note. Increasing volatility in corporate tax receipts and additional outlays related to fiscal stimulus efforts could create additional need for near-term financing.

The Treasury yield curve continued to steepen from January through July, reflecting both the market’s optimism about a recovery and its expectation that elevated interest rates will follow at some point. Two-year Treasury yields remained fairly anchored, rising only 0.17 percentage point. However, yields for the 5-, 10-, and 30-year maturities increased in the range of about 0.65 to 0.70 percentage points, approaching the levels of January 2008.

The steepening trend is quite similar to what we experienced in 2003, when the Federal Reserve Board, then headed by Alan Greenspan, lowered the federal funds rate target to 1.00% and held it there for about a year. We expect the yield curve to remain steep, as it did in 2003, and do not foresee any sustained flattening until the Fed begins raising rates once again.

 

Foreign demand has been important in supporting low Treasury yields. Recent reports have highlighted a growing interest among foreign institutions in replacing some of their U.S. Treasury holdings with other types of assets. These reports have raised concern among investors, but foreign central banks have remained significant and steady buyers. We believe these banks will avoid any near-term actions that might disrupt financial markets and their own substantial positions in Treasury securities.

In the United States, the household savings rate has been climbing, leading to increased demand for Treasury securities. Demand has also been boosted by banks with excess cash on their balance sheets that have been adding Treasuries to their portfolios.

Another buyer has been the Fed: In March, the U.S. central bank announced plans to purchase $300 billion in Treasury securities over the following six-month period, without clarifying its intent. We were left wondering whether this signaled an attempt to manage Treasury yields, as the Fed tried to do between 1961 and 1965, or, alternatively, whether the Fed was just balancing its previously announced agency and mortgage purchase program with Treasury securities.

Treasuries rallied on the news, but the impact was only temporary. Investors recognized that the Fed’s $300 billion in Treasury purchases would quickly be

 

9

overwhelmed by the Treasury’s planned issuance of roughly $2 trillion in new securities. In the absence of any hint that the Fed would expand its purchase program, yields drifted steadily higher. Within just six weeks, the positive impact of the Fed’s announcement disappeared and yields rose above their pre-announcement highs.

The management of the funds

The funds benefited from positions that we established during 2008 to take advantage of opportunities created when investors oversold Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), government agency securities, and government mortgage-backed securities (MBS).

TIPS, held in all three Treasury funds, were strong performers in the six months ended July 31, owing to investors’ renewed interest in hedging against potential inflation. We took some profits in our TIPS positions during the rally, and reinvested these in nominal Treasury notes and bonds.

Our holdings of agency securities and MBS, purchased when their yield spreads versus Treasuries widened last year, also benefited when the Fed bought more of these assets for its own portfolio. Although small in comparison with Treasury exposure, the holdings in MBS and agency securities significantly contributed to the portfolios’ performance. We have since largely replaced them with nominal Treasury securities.

 

We periodically deployed similar strategies using Treasuries to take advantage of relative yield spreads between securities of different maturities. A notable example is the positions in high-coupon Treasuries that we added to the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund in the fourth calendar quarter of 2008. These bonds had significantly underperformed lower-coupon securities, but their higher yields made them an early favorite of the Federal Reserve’s new Treasury purchase program. The Fed’s investment activity since March has been significant enough to bring these high-coupon securities back in line with their low-coupon counterparts, prompting us to lock in our returns by selling them and redeploying the proceeds across other maturities.

In contrast to the three Treasury bond funds, which must invest at least 80% of their assets in Treasury securities, the Short-Term Federal Fund has broader options. We often invest most of its assets in short-term bonds issued by U.S. government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises. Given the government’s intention to support the markets for those securities—the Fed began buying them in January 2009—we overweighted the fund’s holdings in agency and MBS bonds.

This strategy proved rewarding. Liquidity was restored to the markets, and the level of perceived risk associated with agency securities and MBS fell significantly, boosting their prices. In addition, over the six months we took advantage of

 

10

risk-neutral opportunities to enhance the Short-Term Federal Fund’s return by selecting securities that appeared to be mispriced in the market—for example, new issues offered at yields higher than those on comparable existing bonds.

For the GNMA Fund

For the six months ended July 31, Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 3.61% for Investor Shares and 3.66% for Admiral Shares, in line with its benchmark index but below the average return of competing funds.

The investment environment

Almost everything we wrote six months ago about the dire investment environment, one filled with paranoia, can be totally reversed. As we write this letter, a liquidity-induced risk rally has been broadly underway. To best highlight this dramatic shift, let’s look at U.S. Treasuries and high-yield bonds, which sit at opposite ends of the risk spectrum. Keep in mind that GNMAs would fall somewhere in between, but much closer to Treasuries in terms of creditworthiness and yield.

 

For the six months through July, high-yield corporate bonds returned more than 30%, but the Treasury sector returned –1% (as reflected by the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Index). This was a sharp contrast to the previous six months, when high-yield bonds returned about –20% and Treasuries climbed more than 7%. Oddly enough, for the full year encompassing both periods, their respective returns weren’t far apart, as high-yield corporate bonds returned not quite 5% and Treasuries a bit more than 6%.

While GNMAs weren’t near the extremes in either half-year period (for example, GNMAs returned between 3% and 4% in the past six months), for the 12 months through July 31 they returned more than 9%. That looks very good relative to the other alternatives, but it should not be viewed as an indication of future performance, given that the GNMA sector yields just over 4% at this point.

The fund maintains its focus on delivering a competitive income and return by investing in GNMAs—we’re certainly not investing in high-yield bonds. But without discussing these other two sectors, we felt we couldn’t convey the kind of roller-coaster volatility the bond market has witnessed.

 

11

The fund’s successes

The fund has continued to produce an attractive return compared with short-term alternatives. The quantitatively based process we use to identify the best GNMA pass-through pools to own has helped steer us around several problematic corners of the market and has added consistent value over time.

The fund’s shortfalls

Over the long term, the fund has benefited from our focus on GNMA pass-through securities. But, over the last six months, a bond investor would have been well rewarded by simply moving down in credit quality. In fact, residential and commercial mortgage securities not backed by U.S. government guarantees were among the best performers.

The fund’s positioning

GNMA prices have generally risen over the last six months, even as Treasury bond prices have fallen. The Federal Reserve’s buying program has been very successful at stabilizing the mortgage market and removing the generous liquidity-risk premium that existed last year. This has been a positive development for mortgage investors, but it also means that the incremental income we can expect to earn for prepayment risk has decreased.

Today, GNMAs’ yield advantage over Treasuries is just below 1.5 percentage points, the long-term average spread of those securities. So we have a very interesting set of choices to make as we consider how to best protect principal should rates rise materially—while at the same time limiting prepayment risk, a risk with a limited reward from here on out.

Of course, the overall rate environment remains vitally important. Much will be driven by how the Federal Reserve pursues its policy of “quantitative easing.” Having brought interest rates on cash investments almost to zero, policymakers have seen the behavioral reaction they had hoped to see—investors have been putting their cash into riskier, higher-yielding fixed income assets and even into equities.

However, since the Treasury market no longer benefits from fearful investors, Treasury yields have moved higher, reflecting a greater chance that the Fed will need to start tightening credit soon. We have been maneuvering the fund’s duration between neutral and modestly defensive stances, and will be attentive to signs that a more defensive stance is appropriate, even as we continue to seek the best avenues for capturing the 4%–5% yields available in the GNMA market.

Proposal 2—Update and standardize the funds’ fundamental policies regarding:

(a) Purchasing and selling real estate.

(b) Issuing senior securities.

(c) Borrowing money.

(d) Making loans.

(e) Purchasing and selling commodities.

(f) Concentrating investments in a particular industry or group of industries.

(g) Eliminating outdated fundamental investment policies not required by law.

 

The revised fundamental policies are clearly stated and simple, yet comprehensive, making oversight and compliance more efficient than under the former policies. The revised fundamental policies will allow the funds to respond more quickly to regulatory and market changes, while avoiding the costs and delays associated with successive shareholder meetings.

Fund shareholders did not approve this proposal:

 

Proposal 3—Institute procedures to prevent holding investments in companies that, in the judgment of the board, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity, the most egregious violations of human rights.

 

The trustees recommended a vote against the proposal because it called for procedures that duplicate existing practices and procedures of the Vanguard funds.

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 for the period ended July 31, 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.

 

24

Short-Term Treasury 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,525,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% 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.

 

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Notes experienced deflation adjustments that reduced 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. The difference becomes permanent if the securities are sold. Through January 31, 2009, the fund had included $19,959,000 of these deferred deflation adjustments in income dividends paid to shareholders. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund realized gains of $16,565,000 that were included in ordinary income for tax purposes as a result of deferred deflation adjustments; accordingly such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to overdistributed net investment income. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, $3,267,000 of previously deferred deflation adjustments were used to offset inflation adjustments. At July 31, 2009, the fund had $127,000 of deferred deflation adjustments 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.

 

26

Short-Term Treasury Fund

 

At July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,548,165,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $31,084,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $43,978,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $12,894,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $5,952,877,000 of investment securities and sold $6,138,046,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Performance Summary

 

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/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 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 for the period ended July 31, 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.

 

37

Short-Term Federal 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $999,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.40% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

At July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,468,569,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $36,390,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $39,234,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,844,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $5,065,354,000 of investment securities and sold $5,098,914,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Performance Summary

 

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/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 for the period ended July 31, 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.

 

49

Intermediate-Term Treasury 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,459,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.58% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Notes experienced deflation adjustments that reduced 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. The difference becomes permanent if the securities are sold. Through January 31, 2009, the fund had included $9,478,000 of these deferred deflation adjustments in income dividends paid to shareholders. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund realized gains of $8,397,000 that were included in ordinary income for tax purposes as a result of deferred deflation adjustments; accordingly such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to overdistributed net investment income. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, $1,044,000 of previously deferred deflation adjustments were used to offset inflation adjustments. At July 31, 2009, the fund had $37,000 of deferred deflation adjustments 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 July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,079,078,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $66,594,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $111,431,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $44,837,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $4,249,625,000 of investment securities and sold $5,224,298,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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. 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. 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.

 

4. 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.

 

62

GNMA Fund

 

5. 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 for the period ended July 31, 2009, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

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

 

7. 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 six months ended July 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $7,913,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 3.16% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

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

 

F. 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’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

 

At July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $35,365,724,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $807,049,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $860,832,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $53,783,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $22,608,104,000 of investment securities and sold $18,701,794,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Performance Summary

 

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

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 for the period ended July 31, 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.

 

74

Long-Term Treasury 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $667,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.27% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Bonds experienced deflation adjustments that reduced 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. The difference becomes permanent if the securities are sold. Through January 31, 2009, the fund had included $930,000 of these deferred deflation adjustments in income dividends paid to shareholders. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund realized gains of $698,000 that were included in ordinary income for tax purposes as a result of deferred deflation adjustments; accordingly such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, $232,000 of previously deferred deflation adjustments were used to offset inflation adjustments.

 

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 July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,678,690,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $107,935,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $165,915,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $57,980,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $1,507,699,000 of investment securities and sold $1,915,380,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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, 0.25% 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, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

 

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

 

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

 

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of each fund’s investment management over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following:

 

Wellington Management Company, LLP. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has managed the GNMA Fund since the fund’s inception in 1980. The firm and the fund’s management team have depth and stability. The portfolio manager of the GNMA Fund is backed by a well-tenured team of research analysts who conduct detailed fundamental analysis. Wellington Management has provided high-quality advisory services for the GNMA Fund and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term.

 

The Vanguard Group. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades and has advised the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund since their inceptions. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

 

The board concluded that each advisor’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangements.

 

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board concluded that each fund has performed in line with expectations, and that its performance results have been competitive versus its benchmark and peer group. Information about the funds’ most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

 

Cost

The board concluded that the funds’ expense ratios were well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups. The board noted that the funds’ advisory expense ratios were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections, which also contain information about the advisory expenses.

 

80

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

 

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that the GNMA Fund shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of breakpoints in the fund’s advisory fee schedule with Wellington Management. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase.

 

The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund, the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

 

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements again after a one-year period.

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.

 

82

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.

 

83

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 157 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,

The Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds provided strong returns during the six months ended July 31, 2009, as investors gained confidence that some normalcy was returning to the nation’s credit market and that the economy could be on its way to recovery.

Investors’ concerns had previously stoked demand for U.S. Treasury securities, deemed the safest of all bonds, but the change in market sentiment created demand for riskier fare. This shift pushed corporate bond prices higher, raising the funds’ capital returns, while their interest income was also substantial (see the table on page 5). The combination produced total returns ranging from about 8% for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund to almost 20% for the High-Yield Corporate Fund.

Rising bond prices mean lower yields, because bond prices and yields move inversely in relation to each other. Among the three investment-grade funds, the Short-Term Fund’s yield dropped most sharply. The High-Yield Corporate Fund’s yield declined even more, a result of the rapid run-up in prices that produced one of the strongest semiannual returns for that fund in years.

Fiscal and monetary programs helped hearten bond investors

By spring, investors seemed to be growing more confident about the federal government’s efforts to thaw the credit markets and stimulate the economy. Bond investors’

 

2

attitude toward risk veered from extreme caution—as evidenced by last fall’s stampede to the safe haven of U.S. Treasury securities—to a willingness to take a wide variety of investment risks. The shift in demand drove Treasury bond returns down and corporate and municipal bond returns up.

Efforts to combat the financial crisis have included a combination of aggressive monetary policy and large fiscal programs, most notably the nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act enacted in February. On the monetary side, the Federal Reserve kept its target for short-term interest rates at an all-time low of 0% to 0.25%, a target it expects to maintain for “an extended period.” For the last several months, the Fed has been purchasing large amounts of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities, an effort to keep longer-term interest rates and borrowing costs low. In recent months, however, Treasury yields have risen amid concerns about longer-term budget deficits.

Stocks started out in gloom, then began a fast-paced climb

The broad U.S. stock market returned about 23% during the six months ended July 31. The period began in gloom, with stocks declining in February and early March before staging a strong springtime rally. After pausing in June, the market surged nearly 8% in July as investors reacted to improvement in the housing market, an increase in manufacturing activity, rising corporate earnings, and cautiously optimistic comments from the Fed.

Global stock markets performed even better, advancing almost 38% for the period. Encouraging earnings reports and higher commodity prices lifted international stocks off their lows in early March. After three straight months of solid gains, the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA fell slightly in June before rallying again in July.

Although stock markets worldwide have been in recovery mode for five months and various economic signs point to the recession’s end, the health of global financial markets and economies remained fragile as the period ended. Unemployment, in particular, was still a major concern both in the United States and abroad.

 

The high-yield fund’s return was one of its highest ever

The sea change in investors’ appetite for risk lifted the returns of each of the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds.

The riskiest bonds performed best. High-yield, or below-investment-grade, bonds returned about 30% in the aggregate, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index. Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned almost 20%, its highest six-month return in over a quarter-century. However, the fund lagged the average return of its peers, which was about 24%.

The fund’s lower return reflected its relatively conservative approach, which limits investments rated below B, or the

equivalent, to no more than 20% of assets. Many competitors hold higher proportions of these very risky bonds. In addition, relative to its benchmark index, the return of the High-Yield Fund was constrained by its modest allocation to Treasury securities. The fund’s advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP, typically relies on its holdings of these high-quality securities to meet liquidity needs, especially when market liquidity is constrained.

The investment-grade bond funds also posted strong returns, although these too were somewhat restrained by holdings in Treasury securities. At the shorter end of the yield spectrum, the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds returned about 8% and nearly 12%, respectively. The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned about 11%. The funds’ returns were in line with those of their benchmarks and solidly outpaced the average results of their peers.

Although the majority of the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Funds’ assets continued to be invested in a diversified mix of industrial corporate bonds, both funds got a boost from holdings of asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These holdings benefited from Federal Reserve programs aimed at injecting liquidity into the financial markets. In addition, the two funds gained from very modest investments in high-yield securities.

The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund drew strength from its holdings of BBB-rated securities, which performed better than A-rated bonds given investors’

appetite for risk. As of July 31, BBB bonds represented about a quarter of the fund’s assets, which was far above the benchmark weighting. Relative to the index, the fund also benefited from its underweighted positioning in Canadian and international-agency issues.

Balance and diversification remain time-tested strategies

Rallies come and go—with unexpected stops and starts—whether they involve stocks, bonds, or other assets. Trying to anticipate a rally, or to jump in after one has begun, rarely succeeds consistently over time.

In our experience, a more effective approach is to develop a low-cost portfolio that is diversified among and within stocks, bonds, and money market investments, and is attuned to your goals, time horizon, and sensitivity to risk. Once you’ve decided on your appropriate asset allocation, you’ll stand the best chance of reaping its long-term rewards if you stick with it through good markets and bad.

The Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds can play an important role in helping you build, or round out, such a diversified and balanced portfolio. Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisors’ Report

 

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

For the fiscal half-year ended July 31, 2009, the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds performed solidly. The Investor Shares of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 7.98%, while the Admiral and Institutional Shares returned 8.04% and 8.07%, respectively. The Investor Shares of the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 11.73% and the Admiral Shares returned 11.79%.

The funds’ returns were in line with those of their benchmark indexes, and both funds outpaced the average returns of their peer groups.

The investment environment

The fiscal half-year began in an atmosphere of doubt. Signs of a thaw were beginning in the credit markets, which had been at a near standstill because of the fearful degree of uncertainty created by the events in the fall of 2008, particularly the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Adding to investor concerns were data suggesting the possibility of deflation and a worsening of the economic slump. Investors piled into Treasuries as a safe haven.

As the fiscal period unfolded, however, the alphabet soup of new federal lending programs—such as TALF (the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility), TLGP (the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program), and PPIP (the Public-Private Investment Program)—began to revive liquidity and confidence in the markets. The Federal Reserve kept short-term interest rates low (by holding its federal funds rate target at 0%–0.25%) and sought to rein in long-term rates by making large purchases of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. At the same time, the economy showed signs of recovery, and data indicated that deflationary tendencies might be giving way to mild inflation.

 

March seemed to be the turning point. Gaining confidence from the federal government’s efforts, investors began to embrace risky assets again, often with gusto. For example, demand for high-yield bonds drove the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index to a return of about 30% for the six months. The Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index gained about 23% over the period.

Returns for investment-grade bonds were also strong: The Barclays credit indexes for 1–5 year and 5–10 year bonds rose by about 7% and 12%, respectively. Our funds received record cash inflows: Net assets of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund grew from $18.8 billion on January 31 to $26.7 billion on July 31. Net assets of the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund climbed from $8.3 billion to $12.3 billion over that period.

The U.S. bond market

In this climate of heady risk-aversion, so to speak, it seemed that most corporate bonds—even the bottom-tier performers—could do no wrong, as rising demand caused spreads to shrink dramatically. Spreads are the difference between the

 

7

yields of essentially riskless Treasuries and risky bonds. The wider the spread, the greater the perceived risk. For investment-grade bonds, the yield spread against Treasuries had widened to almost 5 percentage points by March 31, but then it began a steady slide to end the half-year at slightly more than 2 percentage points. The spread for high-yield, or below-investment-grade, bonds narrowed from 15 percentage points above Treasuries in March to around 8 percentage points by July 31.

This enthusiasm for risk created some easy gains for your funds—we snapped up the “low-hanging fruit”—but we expect that effect to taper off. More important will be the skill of our traders and analysts, who have been doing an excellent job navigating these historically difficult markets. They’ve already met the challenge of matching the wave of incoming cash during the fiscal half-year, finding solid opportunities even in a market that wasn’t yet fully functioning, and doing so without diluting the funds’ credit-quality standards.

 

Management of the funds

The funds are well-diversified among corporate bonds—where we typically put the majority of our new cash to work—as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), and, to a modest extent, high-yield assets. Excellent security selection among auto and credit-card ABS and AAA-rated CMBS gave a major boost to returns in the past six months. In addition, the funds’ duration, which is a measure of the sensitivity of bond prices to changes in yields, was kept shorter than those of their benchmark indexes. This positioning also augmented returns.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The investment environment

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

Although valuations are no longer as attractive as they were at the start of the year, we continue to have a positive outlook for the investment-grade corporate market. From a fundamental perspective, the economy has improved and the behavior of companies generally remains favorable for bondholders. Rather than assuming additional debt, chief executives are more willing and able to raise equity to support their capital structures. Further benefit has come from the significant amount of cash that investors poured into the investment-grade corporate market during the half-year.

The economic environment continues to face a number of headwinds, though. The U.S. consumer remains highly leveraged, and household finances are still considered weak. Although government programs have helped to reopen the securitization markets, issuance is unlikely to rebound to its recent highs, and bank lending has yet to fill the gap. Commercial real estate could also develop into a more significant headache for the economy, particularly if the deterioration of that sector causes significant losses for smaller regional banks.

The fund’s successes

The fund’s total return was improved by the tightening of credit spreads, which more than offset the rise in Treasury rates during the six-month period. Credit spreads narrowed materially as demand surged in tandem with the improvements in risk appetite and the economic outlook. The fund’s underweighting in lower-yielding sovereign and supra-national issuers and its allocation to BBB-rated issuers both enhanced its performance relative to the benchmark index.

The fund’s shortfalls

In 2007 and throughout 2008, the fund shifted its emphasis from corporate bonds toward debt issued by the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies. Treasuries outperformed in 2008, but so far this year their total returns have been negative. Investors’ increasing appetite for risk, combined with growing concerns about the supply of debt necessary to finance the myriad new government programs, drove Treasury yields higher during the period. Over the last six months, riskier sectors of the market have performed much better than the more liquid Treasury and government sectors. The fund’s allocation to the latter sectors detracted from relative performance. For the six-month period, the fund modestly trailed the benchmark index’s return.

 

9

The fund’s positioning

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

Our outlook for the corporate bond market remains positive. However, we do not expect performance to be as strong in the second half of the fiscal year as it was in the first half. Corporate bond valuations continue to reflect higher default rates than we anticipated, and we believe that spreads will grind tighter through year-end. The economy is showing signs of a recovery, and we believe that the risk of a severe and prolonged global recession has dissipated. In addition, corporate earnings have been higher than expected. That said, problems remain, including a sluggish housing market, rising unemployment, and a weak commercial real estate market. These factors, combined with the rapid improvement in corporate bond valuations so far in 2009, lead us to believe that corporate bonds’ potential outperformance relative to Treasuries will be more modest going forward.

In this environment, we favor bonds of higher-yielding financial institutions, such as large money-center banks and insurance companies that we believe will continue to benefit from government support and stabilizing financial markets. We have reduced our exposure to lower-yielding Treasury and agency bonds following their outperformance. Lastly, we remain underweighted in bonds that are highly dependent on discretionary consumer spending.

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

Credit markets rebounded sharply over the past six months as investors discounted the depression scenario from the range of likely outcomes. Abundant demand drove high-yield bond prices upward.

High-yield mutual funds, which at the beginning of the calendar year represented about 16% of the overall high-yield market, had taken in about $12 billion of net cash through June, which they then needed to invest in the high-yield market. Demand was strong from other buyers as well, including pension funds and traditional equity-oriented funds. As a result, average bond prices rose from $61 at year-end to $85 on July 31. The risk premium of the high-yield market, as measured by the spread over U.S. Treasuries of comparable

 

10

maturities, narrowed from 1,796 basis points at year-end to 909 basis points on July 31. Yields in this market fell from 19.4% to 11.5%.

After minimal issuance of $8 billion in the first calendar quarter of 2009 (down 30% from the same period in 2008), high-yield issuers were quick to take advantage of the improved conditions they saw in the following quarter. Second-quarter issuance was nearly $40 billion, the most since the leveraged-buyout boom in mid-2007.

However, the composition of new supply is vastly different than in 2007. Nearly all of the $50 billion of high-yield issuance year-to-date through July has been in higher ratings categories. In fact, just $1.5 billion, or 3%, of that issuance was rated Caa or below, although securities with those ratings make up 27% of the overall high-yield market; and only about half of the proceeds were intended for acquisitions or for dividends to shareholders. Further, and perhaps most important, nearly 40% of issuance during the six months ended June was sweetened with security of some kind, the highest ratio in the previous 14 years. These trends continued in July, with another $9 billion of new issuance, 28% of which has been secured.

Normally, high-yield bonds are issued on an unsecured basis. Indeed, in times of looser credit, high-yield bonds were sometimes issued on a junior subordinated basis, just one step ahead of common equity in any claim on corporate assets. Today, however, given the massive refinancing hurdles that lie ahead, issuers are looking to reduce their dependence on the syndicated bank loan market. Part of the solution has been issuance of secured high-yield bonds.

Nearly $600 billion of syndicated bank loans are expected to mature between 2012 and 2014, an amount that dwarfs the ten-year loan repayment experience prior to the credit bubble. While this amount would be difficult to refinance even in a normal credit environment, conditions are worse today. The global banking industry is deleveraging, and credit standards are still tightening broadly. Thus, issuers are not counting on the loan market to refinance their secured obligations. To reduce the face amount of their liabilities, resourceful issuers, and those with flexible capital structures, have employed strategies such as below-par tenders and below-par exchanges. Because these options are not available to most, many of the remaining high-yield issuers have been willing to pay higher interest and to pledge security in order to reduce their refinancing risk. In this environment, we have identified many attractive opportunities for the portfolio consistent with our investment philosophy.

With capital more easily available and the economy appearing to strengthen somewhat, market participants have lowered their consensus expectation for high-yield defaults. To be sure, the stock market’s climb has proven to be a significant boon to certain high-yield issuers. Several publicly owned, high-

 

11

quality issuers of below-investment-grade bonds were successful at selling new equity during the second-quarter rally. The resulting injection of new cash reduced these issuers’ risk of bankruptcy and lowered their credit spreads. Moody’s Investors Service now believes that the default rate will peak in the second half of 2009 at an annualized rate of just under 13% (down from 15% a year earlier ) and decline thereafter to 6% by mid-2010. J.P. Morgan has also reduced its default expectations from 12% in 2009 and 10% in 2010 to 9% and 7%, respectively.

Nonetheless, we remain concerned about the underlying economic environment for high-yield bonds. Companies of low credit quality continue to face a difficult climb; they will need to endure a long-term environment of lower economic activity while being saddled with broken capital structures. These capital structures had been put in place in anticipation of an environment of robust growth, tight credit spreads, and adequate free cash flow generation. As none of these is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, many high-yield issuers are at the mercy of their secured lenders for relief.

However, we are cautious regarding banks’ willingness to continue to amend and extend corporate loans. We believe that a significant default rate among borrowers of low credit quality is unavoidable and that significant default losses will continue

(average recoveries by unsecured bond-holders have been around 20% so far in 2009). In our view, the lower-quality segments of the market remain fundamentally challenged.

The portfolio’s successes

Compared with the benchmark index, the portfolio was helped by its overweighting of the pharmaceutical sector and its underweighting of the auto, paper, and technology sectors. Security selection in the transportation sector also added to returns.

The portfolio’s shortfalls

The portfolio’s six-month return of not quite 20% lagged the benchmark return of slightly more than 30%. Our higher-quality bias hurt relative performance, as did the portfolio’s underweightings in the financial and retail sectors and overweightings in the utilities and health care sectors. Holdings in cash and Treasuries also hurt us in relative terms. Though our investment style was unchanged, the portfolio experienced four defaults in the period.

The portfolio’s positioning

The portfolio remains consistent in its strategy, maintaining a meaningful exposure to relatively higher-quality bonds in the high-yield market. We believe these securities have more dependable business operations and more predictable cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum.

 

12

Our preference for higher-quality securities reflects our desire to minimize defaults and to provide stable income. Given our view that credit availability will remain restricted and that corporate defaults will rise, we believe this positioning is appropriate going forward. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry. We also continue to avoid non-cash-paying securities and equity-linked securities, such as convertibles, because of their potential volatility.

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 July 31, 2009

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by asset type. 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 may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific bond issuer. 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, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal 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 seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, 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 swap is cash settled, the

seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for debt instruments of the relevant reference entity, as determined either in a market auction for credit default swaps of such reference entity or pursuant to a pre-agreed upon valuation procedure.

 

The fund has also entered into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. 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 fund is subject to credit risk through its investment in swap transactions to earn the total return on the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) Index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return (either receiving the increase or paying the decrease) on the CMBS index, applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the fund agrees to pay the counterparty a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount equal to the notional amount of the swaps in high-quality floating-rate securities.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) 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) over the life of the contract. 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 (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the amount of unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. This risk is mitigated by entering into swaps only with highly rated counterparties, by a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty, and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has posted. Any securities posted as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

4. 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.

5. 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 for the period ended July 31, 2009, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

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

 

7. Security Lending: The 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.

 

8. 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $5,798,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 2.32% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

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.

 

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 $18,166,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. 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.

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.

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by asset type. 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 may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific bond issuer. 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, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal 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 seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, 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 swap is cash settled, the

 

49

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for debt instruments of the relevant reference entity, as determined either in a market auction for credit default swaps of such reference entity or pursuant to a pre-agreed upon valuation procedure.

 

The fund has also entered into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. 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 fund is subject to credit risk through its investment in swap transactions to earn the total return on the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) Index. Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return (either receiving the increase or paying the decrease) on the CMBS index, applied to a notional principal amount. In return, the fund agrees to pay the counterparty a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount. At the same time, the fund invests an amount equal to the notional amount of the swaps in high-quality floating-rate securities.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) 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) over the life of the contract. 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 (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the amount of unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. This risk is mitigated by entering into swaps only with highly rated counterparties, by a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has posted. Any securities posted as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

4. 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

 

50

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

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.

 

5. 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 for the period ended July 31, 2009, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

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

 

7. 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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $2,687,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 1.07% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

At July 31, 2009, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value sufficient to cover substantially all amounts due to the fund in connection with open swap contracts.

 

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

 

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 $16,607,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

 

At July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,948,573,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $225,380,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $630,079,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $404,699,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $4,862,574,000 of investment securities and sold $1,877,676,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $2,723,128,000 and $3,333,908,000, respectively.

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 July 31, 2009

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by asset type. 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).

† Represents the aggregate value, by category, of securities that are not among the 50 largest holdings and, in total for any issuer, represent 1% or less of net assets.

1 The issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

2 Certain of the fund’s securities are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At July 31, 2009, the aggregate value of these securities was $515,699,000, representing 7.2% of net assets.

3 The average or expected maturity is shorter than the final maturity shown because of the possibility of interim principal payments and prepayments or the possibility of the issue being called.

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 may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific bond issuer. 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, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal 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 seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, 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 swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for debt instruments of the relevant reference entity, as determined either in a market auction for credit default swaps of such reference entity or pursuant to a pre-agreed upon valuation procedure.

 

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 seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) 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) over the life of the contract. 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 (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the amount of unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. This risk is mitigated by entering into swaps only with highly rated counterparties, a master netting arrangement between the fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty. The swap contracts contain

 

69

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has posted. Any securities posted as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 for the period ended July 31, 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.

 

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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 six months ended July 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $1,579,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.63% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

70

Long-Term Investment-Grade 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).

 

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

 

E. At July 31, 2009, the fund had the following open swap contracts:

At July 31, 2009, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value sufficient to cover substantially all amounts due to the fund in connection with open swap contracts.

 

F. 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 $2,732,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. 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. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending Janaury 31, 2010; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.

 

At July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,854,976,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $285,898,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $503,738,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $217,840,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $1,464,605,000 of investment securities and sold $396,594,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $247,961,000 and $322,226,000, respectively.

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 for the period ended July 31, 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.

 

83

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), shareholder reporting, and proxies. 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 six months ended July 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 July 31, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $2,274,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.91% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

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

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

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

 

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

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.

 

84

High-Yield Corporate Fund

 

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. 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. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2010; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.

 

At July 31, 2009, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,680,713,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $212,545,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $325,053,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $537,598,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2009, the fund purchased $2,233,655,000 of investment securities and sold $1,072,565,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $73,512,000 and $0 respectively.

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, 0.26% for Investor Shares, 0.14% for Admiral Shares, and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.26% for Investor Shares and 0.14% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.28% for Investor Shares and 0.16% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.32% for Investor Shares and 0.18% 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.

 

87

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

 

The board of trustees of Vanguard Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (through its Fixed Income Group). The board also has renewed the investment advisory agreements between Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds and the funds’ advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP. The board determined that renewing each fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

 

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

 

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of each fund’s investment management over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following:

 

Wellington Management Company, LLP. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has managed the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High Yield Corporate Funds since their inceptions. The firm and the funds’ management teams have depth and stability. The portfolio managers of the funds are backed by well-tenured teams of research analysts who conduct fundamental analysis. Wellington Management has provided high-quality advisory services for the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term.

 

The Vanguard Group. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades and has advised the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds since their inceptions. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

 

The board concluded that each advisor’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangements.

 

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board concluded that each fund has performed in line with expectations, and that its results have been competitive versus its benchmark and peer group. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

 

Cost

The board concluded that the funds’ expense ratios were well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups. The board noted that the funds’ advisory expense ratios were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections, which also include information about the advisory fee expenses.

 

88

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

 

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds’ shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of the breakpoints in each fund’s advisory fee schedule with Wellington Management. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase.

 

The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds, the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

 

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements again after a one-year period.

 

89

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.

 

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.

 

90

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 157 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.
