Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Investors sought safe havens during the six months ended July 31, 2010, as concern mounted over the subpar economic recovery in the United States and the threat of defaults by some European nations. Stocks were especially volatile as these events unfolded.

The multipronged anxiety helped lift demand for Vanguard’s U.S. Government Bond Funds. Vanguard GNMA Fund got an additional boost from investors’ search for attractive yields as Federal Reserve policy continued to weigh down shorter-term interest rates.

As you might expect, returns for Vanguard’s Treasury funds paralleled their maturities: Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund returned about 2%; Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, about 6%; and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund, about 10%. Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, which blends government-agency issues (about 80% of assets as of July 31) with Treasury and government mortgage-backed securities, returned about 2%. The GNMA Fund returned about 5%.

As greater demand raised bond prices, the 30-day SEC yields of the three Treasury funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund declined, since bond prices and yields move inversely. Running counter to the

4



trend was the GNMA Fund. Its yield for Investor Shares rose from 2.53% on January 31 to 3.02% on July 31. Rather than rising yields on GNMA securities, the increase reflected the advisor’s decision to reduce its exposure to TBA (to be announced) securities, which pay no current income and thus reduce the SEC yield. These securities represent an agreement to buy mortgage-backed securities 30 to 180 days in the future.

High-quality bonds rallied amid the search for safety
Sovereign-debt fears, turmoil in the stock markets, and mixed economic signals drove bond prices higher, and yields lower, during the period as investors sought safety in high-quality government and corporate bonds. At the start of the period, the yield of the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note stood at 3.61%. By the end it had dipped to 2.91%, and rates on home-mortgage loans were at their lowest levels since the 1950s.

Rising prices led to strong six-month returns in both the taxable and municipal bond markets. The returns from money market instruments, by contrast, remained vanishingly small. Yields have hovered near 0% since late 2008, when the Federal Reserve Board set its target for short-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%.

Stock markets moved higher, but the journey was tense
Global stock markets emerged from a turbulent six-month stretch with respectable single-digit gains. Prices

rallied in early spring, buoyed by rapid growth in corporate earnings, but fell sharply in May and June as Europe’s sovereign debt crisis took center stage. Concern that Greece might default on its debt sparked anxiety that other Eurozone countries with shaky economies might follow suit and that the tensions between stronger and weaker nations could potentially drive the Eurozone apart.

In the United States, signs that the economic recovery might be sputtering also dampened investor spirits. By the end of the period, however, stock markets had recouped the previous months’ losses as corporate bellwethers continued to report strong profits and the European debt situation seemed to be resolved for the moment, brightening investors’ moods.

For the six months, the U.S. stock market returned more than 4%. Smaller-company stocks, less exposed to global turmoil than large-cap multinationals, returned about 9%. International stocks finished the period with a modestly positive return, as strong performance from emerging markets compensated for weaker returns in Europe.

A dark cloud, partially lifted
The start of the fiscal period was a lackluster time for the Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds. By the spring, however, amid concern over Europe and

pessimistic U.S. economic reports, the funds’ returns began climbing as a traditional “flight to quality” from risky assets took place. As the period drew to a close, the immediate source of European stress had been alleviated, and government bond returns moderated.

Among the Government Bond Funds, the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund and the Long-Term Treasury Fund posted the period’s highest overall returns—about 6% and 10%, respectively, which also bested the performance of the broad stock and taxable bond markets. Needless to say, six month returns of this magnitude are unusual and an unreasonable basis for long-term expectations. The Short-Term Treasury and Short-Term Federal Funds each returned about 2%. (During the period, the Short-Term Federal Fund’s mandate changed slightly—see the Investment insight box on page 8.)

The Treasury funds and Short-Term Federal Fund trailed their benchmarks, mainly because of differences between the “duration,” or sensitivity to interest rates of the funds and their benchmarks. The funds’ durations were slightly lower, a strategic move aimed at curbing price declines during periods of rising interest rates. The immediate effect in the period’s declining yield environment was to reduce returns relative to the benchmarks.

The GNMA Fund returned about 5% for the six-month period. As with Treasuries, the fund benefited from investors’ flight from riskier assets. Investors were also

drawn to its relatively attractive yield (3.02% as of July 31) at a time of generally low yields.

As of July 31, most of the fund’s assets consisted of GNMA securities—pools of residential mortgages (created by mortgage bankers, for example) with federal government backing for the timely payment of principal and interest (at least 80% of the fund’s assets must be in GNMAs). For further diversification, the fund’s advisor has added mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

In March, the Federal Reserve ended its 15-month program aimed at stabilizing the housing market and lowering mortgage rates, in which it bought $1.25 trillion of mortgage-backed securities. In response to the Fed’s buying program, the fund’s advisor engaged in a “barbell” strategy, limiting the fund’s exposure to the securities targeted by the Fed (with coupon interest payments in the 5% to 5.5% range), which, in the advisor’s view, had become overvalued. Instead, the advisor concentrated on GNMAs with higher or lower coupons.

The emphasis on higher-coupon mortgage-backed securities allowed the fund to benefit from a correspondingly higher level of interest income. Although higher-rate mortgages have traditionally been refinanced by homeowners during periods

Investment insight   
What’s GE doing in the Short-Term Federal Fund? 
If you take a close look at the portfolio holdings of Vanguard Short-Term Federal 
Fund, you’ll see what may appear to be some unusual entries: short-term bonds 
issued by companies as varied as General Electric’s finance arm, Citigroup, and the 
U.S. Central Federal Credit Union. The bonds represented about 3% of the fund’s 
portfolio as of July 31. 
 
Although these are private-sector bonds, the fund’s strategy of investing in U.S. 
government and government-related securities hasn’t essentially changed. That’s 
because payment of the new bonds’ principal and interest is guaranteed by a 
federal agency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the fund’s 
investment strategy was broadened to include short-term debt guaranteed (even 
if not issued) by governmental entities. These securities were issued under the 
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program sponsored by the FDIC, one of the 
government’s initiatives aimed at expanding bond market liquidity to help ease 
the financial crisis and economic slump.

of declining interest rates, in these untraditional times, the refinancing wave hasn’t occurred.

Diversification is a key counter to financial market volatility
The financial markets are arenas of high uncertainty, a reality displayed in bold relief by the events of the past few years in the United States and abroad. It’s safe to say that the world economy may bring continued volatility. More certain, however, is that the unpredictable economic developments and financial market uncertainty of recent years underscore the wisdom of sticking with a long-term plan, one that is tailored to your goals and risk tolerance and that emphasizes diversification. A broad asset mix can help spare you the worst of the markets’ financial traumas, while allowing you to participate in their recovery and growth. The Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds can play an important role in such a portfolio.

On another matter, I would like to note that Michael F. Garrett of Wellington Management Company will manage the GNMA Fund. Mike, of course, is no stranger. He and Tom Pappas, who is stepping down, have had a long and successful history of working together on the fund.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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 U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from 1.65% for the Short-Term Treasury Fund to 9.99% for the Long-Term Treasury Fund. All of the funds trailed their benchmark indexes. Compared with the average returns for their respective peer groups, the Short- and Long-Term Treasury Funds outperformed and the Short-Term Federal Fund and Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund lagged.

The investment environment
The economy appeared to transition to a self-sustaining recovery in the second half of 2009, which kept Treasury yields fairly range-bound during that period. The exception was at the long end of the yield curve, where the U.S. Treasury increased the supply of 10- and 30-year bonds. As a result, the portion of the yield curve between 10- and 30-year securities got steeper.

In 2010, conditions shifted and Treasury market yields declined, owing to European sovereign risk, a correction in the equity markets, and the lack of momentum in the economic data. Two-year yields, which reached a high for the period of 1.17% in early April, fell to a low of only 0.55% at the end of the period. Persistently low rates at the front end of the yield curve caused investors to move into longer-dated securities for additional yield. This forced the spread between 2- and 5-year Treasuries to flatten from 152 basis points at the start of the period to 105 at the end.

Some members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) may remain uncomfortable with the federal funds rate near zero and the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet bulging with agency and mortgage-backed debt (the result of a massive program of purchases, which ended on March 31, aimed at supporting the housing market). However, the tone from more hawkish members of the FOMC has grown noticeably softer in the current environment of stubbornly high joblessness, nearly nonexistent inflation, and moderated growth.

Unless the market’s fears of deflation, a double-dip recession, and large-scale quantitative easing are realized, it seems unlikely that rates can remain this low for an extended period.

Management of the Treasury funds and Short-Term Federal Fund
For the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds, we positioned each fund’s duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) to take advantage of the higher interest rates that would be expected as economic conditions improved. In each fund, we implemented our strategy through a bullet structure, which concentrates holdings in discrete portions of the yield curve. Instead of rising, yields of Treasury securities declined as the economic recovery stalled—putting any inclination on the part of the Fed to raise interest rates on hold—and as the European sovereign-debt crisis triggered demand for the perceived safety of Treasuries. We responded by gradually adjusting our positioning to reduce the impact on the portfolios of falling yields and prepare for an eventual rise in rates. However, the Treasury funds under-performed their benchmarks during the period.

With the Fed on hold, and the resulting lower volatility in interest rates, the Short-Term Federal Fund’s overweighting in callable agency bonds proved profitable. We also added modest value through an overweight position in the relatively new FDIC-guaranteed securities (issued under the government’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, a response to the 2008 financial crisis). We deemphasized lower-coupon mortgage-backed securities because of their rich valuations while modestly favoring higher-coupon mortgage-backed securities for their tame prepayment speeds, among other reasons.

Looking ahead, we expect that agency bonds will continue to trade tight to Treasury securities until 2012 because of the Treasury’s line-of-credit backing for both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the government’s continued support of the housing market. As Fannie’s and Freddie’s future is debated, we expect volatility in spreads and exposure to “headline risk,” a negative atmosphere that focuses on the downside.

For the GNMA Fund

For the six months ended July 31, Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 5.05% for Investor Shares and 5.11% for Admiral Shares, slightly behind the return of its benchmark index and ahead of the average return of competing funds.

The investment environment
After decided strength in the equity market, a risk rally in credit markets, and a calm period in Treasuries for the first few months of the year, the latter part of the fiscal period looked very different. Three worries occupied markets: contagion risk from the Greek crisis, uncertainty about the package of financial regulations being hammered out in Congress, and the health of the global economy.

Markets retreated and the conversation shifted dramatically from fears of inflation to fears of deflation as investors grappled with an ugly reality: Intense deleveraging by highly indebted countries was necessary to establish market confidence in their solvency. This deleveraging hurt the already fragile confidence of market participants.

As a result, risk aversion increased and most credit sectors in fixed income underperformed. The performance of high-yield bonds is illustrative—earlier in the period, these bonds outperformed Treasuries by 3.5 percentage points. Later in the period, they more than retraced these gains. Treasuries rallied and the yield curve flattened significantly as investors sought the securities’ full faith and credit protection. GNMAs benefited from this desire to own government-guaranteed debt. For the six-month period, the 10-year Treasury yield declined by 70 basis points (0.70 percentage point); the spread between 2- and 10-year Treasury notes decreased by 42 basis points as inflationary concerns diminished. This would typically lead to increases in prepayments and GNMA underperformance, but tight underwriting standards and demand led to a 5.15% return for the index and about the same for the portfolio.

Throughout the six-month period, the Federal Reserve held its already low target rates steady at 0%–0.25%, and interest rate volatility remained contained despite the significant decrease in Treasury yields. The conclusion of the Fed’s agency mortgage-purchase program at the end of March did not cause widening in mortgage spreads. Rather, agency mortgages benefited from another program announced in early February, in which Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy out mortgage loans from mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by them that are 120 days or more delinquent. This $200 billion in buyouts is treated as prepayments to investors and has forced some investors to reinvest cash flows. The resulting increased investor demand for higher-quality assets during the first half of the year supported the performance of the fund.

12



Fund successes
The fund continues to produce an attractive return compared with short-term alternatives. Its security selection has largely helped returns. The goal of this process is to pick bonds for the long term to help lend stability to the fund’s cash flow profile.

Fund shortfalls
The generally defensive stance we have maintained in duration hurt the fund’s return as the European crisis and talk about deflation helped rates to decline.

Fund positioning
Mortgage securities’ prices are close to their historical highs. The driving force behind this has been a lack of refinancing into lower mortgage rates by homeowners. This has not been a voluntary decision: Qualifying for a new mortgage or refinancing is currently very difficult. Economic conditions have increased unemployment, and underwriters’ lending standards are extremely conservative. We do believe that further price gains will be difficult to achieve and that policymakers will work diligently to increase the availability of mortgage financing. This will increase prepayments and reduce returns for investors.

It is with this in mind that we maintain positions in Treasuries and Fannie and Freddie mortgage-backed securities. We seek to diversify our prepayment risk and to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to us by the historically steep yield curve. We have been doing this by adding assets that benefit from the steep yield curve, and through security selection and structure we will continue our quest to purchase assets that protect investors in the fund from the effects of prepayments.

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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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.

23



Short-Term Treasury Fund

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $1,343,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.54% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Investments  ($000)  ($000)  ($000) 
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations    6,877,652   
Temporary Cash Investments    14,174

D. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000) 
      Aggregate   
    Number of  Settlement  Unrealized 
    Long (Short)  Value  Appreciation 
Futures Contracts  Expiration  Contracts  Long (Short)  (Depreciation)

5-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  (3,175)  (380,454)  (1,199) 

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 $1,248,000 through January 31, 2010, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,796,103,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $95,723,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $95,748,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $25,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $3,854,856,000 of investment securities and sold $3,772,039,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Short-Term Federal Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund 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. This risk is mitigated by entering into mortgage dollar rolls with only highly rated counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

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.

37



Short-Term Federal 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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $1,118,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.45% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

38



Short-Term Federal Fund

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Investments  ($000)  ($000)  ($000) 
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations    5,305,420   
Temporary Cash Investments    383,835   
Futures Contracts—Assets1  795     
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1  (550)     
Total  245  5,689,255   
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.       

D. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000) 
      Aggregate   
    Number of  Settlement  Unrealized 
    Long (Short)  Value  Appreciation 
Futures Contracts  Expiration  Contracts  Long (Short)  (Depreciation) 
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  1,355  162,367  1,971 
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  66  14,462  (1) 
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  (76)  (9,410)  (269) 

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 $2,371,000 through January 31, 2010, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,597,491,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $91,764,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $91,975,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $211,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $4,815,802,000 of investment securities and sold $3,845,978,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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.

49



Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $1,273,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.51% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Investments  ($000)  ($000)  ($000) 
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations    6,619,832   
Temporary Cash Investments    34,572

Total  (930)  6,654,404

D. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000) 
      Aggregate   
    Number of  Settlement  Unrealized 
    Long (Short)  Value  Appreciation 
Futures Contracts  Expiration  Contracts  Long (Short)  (Depreciation) 
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  1,107  242,571  129 
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  (958)  (114,795)  (1,953) 
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  (770)  (95,336)  (1,680) 

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 $28,402,000 through January 31, 2010, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,394,879,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $259,525,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $2,459,559,000 of investment securities and sold $2,015,729,000 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.

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 or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations to deliver purchased securities. This risk is mitigated by entering into mortgage dollar rolls with only highly rated counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

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.

64



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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2010, 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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $7,263,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 2.90% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

GNMA Fund

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Investments  ($000)  ($000)  ($000) 
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations    36,882,254   
Temporary Cash Investments    5,855,700   
Futures Contracts—Assets1  8,787     
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1  (4,685)     
Total  4,102  42,737,954   
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.       

E. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000) 
      Aggregate   
    Number of  Settlement  Unrealized 
    Long (Short)  Value  Appreciation 
Futures Contracts  Expiration  Contracts  Long (Short)  (Depreciation) 
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note/Bond  September 2010  (7,027)  (1,539,791)  (9,393) 
30-Year U.S. Treasury Note/Bond  September 2010  4,766  613,474  23,515 
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note/Bond  September 2010  (4,685)  (580,062)  (7,984) 

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, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $41,072,285,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,665,669,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,694,301,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $28,632,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $84,361,685,000 of investment securities and sold $84,648,593,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund 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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

76



Long-Term Treasury Fund

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $603,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.24% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Investments  ($000)  ($000)  ($000) 
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations    3,092,982

Futures Contracts—Liabilities1  (710)     
Total  (459)  3,105,368   
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.       

D. At July 31, 2010, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000) 
      Aggregate   
    Number of  Settlement  Unrealized

10-Year U.S. Treasury Note  September 2010  (517)  (64,011)  (655) 

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

77



Long-Term Treasury 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. 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 $19,198,000 through January 31, 2010, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,893,182,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $212,186,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $227,671,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $15,485,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $1,620,433,000 of investment securities and sold $1,145,184,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

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, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Short-Term Treasury Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.10% 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. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the funds. 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 each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its respective peer group and that each fund’s advisory expense ratio was also well below its peer-group average. 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.

82



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

30-Day SEC 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.

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.

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.

Credit Quality. The credit ratings assigned to fixed income securities are an indicator of risk. They represent a rating agency’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. For this report, credit-quality ratings for each issue are obtained from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

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.

84



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.

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 162 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

In February, at the start of the new fiscal year, the United States and other major developed economies appeared to be squarely back on the growth track. But when yellow warning lights started flashing, a roller-coaster ride ensued in both the stock and bond markets as investors fled riskier securities, then embraced them again. By the end of the period, the broad U.S. bond market had edged out the broad U.S. stock market in returns.

For the six months ended July 31, each of the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds produced solid returns that were ahead of the average returns of peer funds but fell a bit short of results for their benchmark indexes. The Long­Term Investment­Grade Fund was the best performer, with an 8.79% return for Investor Shares. The Short­Term Investment­Grade Fund brought up the rear with a 2.77% return for Investor Shares. All four funds benefited from both income and capital returns. The Long­Term Investment Grade Fund produced a 5.75% capital return, the highest of the group, as falling interest rates boosted prices of bonds.

A glance at the funds’ 30­day SEC yields on January 31 and July 31, shown on page 7, shows decreases for the three investment­grade funds and a very slight uptick for the High­Yield Corporate Fund.

What the yield table doesn’t reveal, however, is that at the ends of both February and May—two months when investors were particularly anxious about the European debt crisis—the High­Yield Corporate Fund’s yield was above 8%.

High-quality bonds rallied amid the search for safety
Turmoil in the stock markets and mixed economic signals drove bond prices higher, and yields lower, as investors sought safety in high­quality government and corporate bonds. At the start of the period, for example, the yield of the benchmark 10­year U.S. Treasury note stood at 3.61%. By the end of the period, it had dipped to 2.91%. Investor demand was so strong that the Treasury department sold 3­year notes for the lowest yield on record. And the rates on home­mortgage loans were at their lowest levels since the 1950s.

Rising bond prices led to strong six­month returns in both the taxable and municipal bond markets. The returns from money market instruments, by contrast, remained vanishingly small. Yields have hovered near 0% since late 2008, when the Federal Reserve Board set its target for short­term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%.

Stock markets moved higher but the journey was tense
Global stock markets emerged from a turbulent six­month stretch with respectable single­digit gains. Prices rallied in early spring, buoyed by rapid growth in corporate earnings, but fell

sharply in May and June as Europe’s sovereign­debt crisis took center stage. Signs that the U.S. economic recovery might be sputtering also dampened investor spirits. By the end of the six­month period, however, stock markets had recouped the previous months’ losses as corporate bellwethers continued to report strong profits, and investors’ moods brightened.

For the full period, the U.S. stock market returned more than 4%. Smaller­company stocks, which are less exposed to global turmoil than large­cap multinationals, returned about 9%. International stocks finished the period with a modestly positive return, as strong performance from emerging markets compensated for weaker returns in Europe.

During a volatile period, it paid to be discriminating
The fiscal year that ended in January 2010 was a tough act to follow for corporate bonds, which delivered exceptional double­digit gains in that period. Still, in the first half of the new fiscal year, the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds distinguished themselves during what turned out to be a very volatile time.

As is often the case in the fixed income market, when U.S. Treasury bonds zigged, corporate bonds zagged. Treasuries are still the preferred safe haven for many investors, despite concerns about federal deficit spending and potential growth in the debt­servicing burden. A quick look at bond market returns in May and July provides an example.

In May, robust demand for Treasuries—linked to investors’ heightened anxiety about a myriad of factors, including sovereign­debt woes in Europe and prospects for financial reform in the United States—translated into losses for riskier bonds. But in July, as some uncertainty was removed and investors regained confidence, corporate bonds rallied. Consider the High­Yield Corporate Fund: It returned about –3% in May, then rose by more than 3% in July. When the dust settled, the six­month returns of the Barclays U.S. Credit indexes (which are composed primarily of corporate bonds) were generally in line with those of comparable­maturity Treasury indexes.

The Short­Term and, to a lesser extent, the Intermediate­Term Investment­Grade Funds continued to benefit from the improvement in the asset­backed and commercial mortgage­backed securities sectors, although six­month returns were not as stellar as they were in the prior fiscal year. The advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, chose well among securities representing high­quality auto loans and credit card receivables, as well as mortgages without government­agency backing. Relative to their benchmarks, however, the funds’ somewhat shorter durations were a headwind.

The Long­Term Investment­Grade Fund, which did not own any asset­backed or commercial mortgage­backed securities, benefited from last year’s decision by its advisor—Wellington Management Company—to increase the fund’s exposure to the finance sector. Additional tailwinds came from relatively light holdings of foreign government bonds and from a stake—albeit modest—in long­term Treasuries: The Barclays Capital U.S. Long Treasury Bond Index returned more than 10% for the fiscal half­year.

After a rough six­month ride for low­quality bonds, the High­Yield Corporate Fund finished with a strong return. The total volume of new high­yield issuance in the United States provides some insight into just how bumpy the ride was and how investor appetite waxed and waned. March set a new record for monthly issuance—more than $35 billion—and April became the second­highest month ever, at about $31 billion. But when investors became more risk­averse again, new­issue activity slowed to a relative trickle of less than $7 billion in May.

As has happened in the past, the High­Yield Corporate Fund’s higher­quality orientation held back its performance relative to the benchmark index in the half­year. However, this focus on quality has served investors well over time— especially in a market where risk and reward are asymmetric. For example, a bond can lose all of its value, but—unlike a stock—it has limited potential for price increases.

Bonds’ volatility underscores the value of diversification
The various sectors of the fixed income markets often trade places in the performance rankings over time—just as equity sectors do—and there’s every reason to expect that to continue. Because the markets’ twists and turns are hard to predict, we encourage you to diversify your bond holdings across maturities and sectors, consistent with the investment objectives and principles you use in managing your total portfolio.

The Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds, with holdings that are diversified within their designated sectors of the broad U.S. bond market, can help you do that. And with their low expenses, they can help you with another important investment principle—paying attention to costs, which are especially important in fixed income investing.

Many investors are concerned about what may happen to their bond holdings if interest rates rise. The conventional wisdom might suggest defensively reallocating some of your holdings into shorter­maturity bond funds, which are often thought to be less sensitive to changes in interest rates. Recent Vanguard research, however, underscores the benefits of maintaining a broadly diversified fixed income portfolio, regardless of the future direction of interest rates. In fact, the high uncertainty about the outlook for economic growth, the deficit, inflation, and interest rates would seem to support greater fixed income diversification, not less.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III

Advisors’ Report

For the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds
The Short­ and Intermediate­Term Investment­Grade Funds performed well in the fiscal half­year that ended July 31, 2010, although returns across the bond market were not as robust as some of the extraordinary double­digit returns of a year ago.

The Short­Term Investment­Grade Fund’s Investor Shares returned 2.77%, while the Admiral and Institutional Shares returned 2.82% and 2.84%, respectively. The Investor Shares of the Intermediate­Term Investment­Grade Fund returned 6.69% and the Admiral Shares 6.75%. Both funds outpaced the average returns of their respective peer groups, but trailed the returns of their benchmark indexes in part because of the funds’ shorter average durations.

The investment environment
Both U.S. stocks and bonds broadly started the new fiscal year on solid footing amid optimism about the global economic recovery. With the end of major government stimulus programs coming into view, a key question on the mind of many investors and market watchers was “When is the Federal Reserve going to begin raising interest rates?”

Very quickly, however, this question was replaced with questions about four major issues: the European sovereign­debt crisis, “stress tests” for European banks,

prospects for financial regulatory reform in the United States, and the fate of Goldman Sachs after fraud charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Any one of these concerns on its own could increase market volatility; the combination of all four could potentially have a dramatic impact. Fortunately, by the end of the period, each of the four issues was either resolved or addressed sufficiently to allay most of investors’ anxiety.

Long­simmering fiscal problems and the threat of a sovereign­debt default bubbled up to a crisis level in Greece, raising concern about other developed countries with doubtful finances and rattling bond markets globally. Major rating agencies added to investors’ unease by downgrading the sovereign credit ratings of several countries. Greece, for example, is no longer rated investment­grade.

Concerted action by European leaders, who announced stabilization programs totaling nearly $1 trillion along with broad fiscal austerity measures, helped restore some normalcy to European banking and the overall credit markets. Also reassuring were the results of the stress tests of major European banks, released in July: Of the 91 largest banks, only seven were deemed so shaky that they need to raise additional capital.

In the United States, prospects for financial reform created considerable additional suspense. After intense wrangling, in July Congress passed the Dodd­Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Although it’s beyond the scope of our letter to comment on the merits of the bill itself, suffice it to say that its passage helped to remove some uncertainty, which is almost always good for corporate bonds. Also in July, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Goldman Sachs agreed to pay $550 million—the largest penalty ever paid by a Wall Street firm—and to reform its business practices.

The U.S. bond market
The ebb and flow of concerns about these four major issues produced a seesaw pattern in returns. Early in the six­month period, when investors’ risk­aversion was relatively low, corporate bonds had generally positive returns and some U.S. Treasury securities posted declines. In May, however, as investors shifted into high risk­aversion, many corporate bond sectors suffered losses and Treasuries—the ultimate safe harbor—had strong gains. By late July, we were in what we call a period of “macro risk abatement,” with investors breathing a sigh of relief about the apparent resolution of the “big four” risk factors. At the end of the roller­coaster ride, the differences in six­month returns for Treasuries and comparable­maturity corporate bonds were not significant.

Yields generally fell across maturities—except at the shortest end of the spectrum, where rates have been anchored near zero by Fed policy. Although the U.S. economy

grew for the fourth consecutive quarter, the reported pace of growth for the April–June period was slower than for the previous two quarters, suggesting that—as many analysts expect—the recovery will be uneven. And unemployment remains stubbornly high, while the housing market remains generally weak.

Management of the funds
Both funds remain well­diversified across corporate bonds of appropriate maturities, with additional holdings of asset­backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage­backed securities (CMBS), and U.S. government bonds. Hit hard during the financial crisis, CMBS continued to rebound and were one of the best­performing sectors in the U.S. bond market for the past six months: The Barclays Capital U.S. Investment Grade CMBS Index returned more than 9%. A modest allocation to high­quality CMBS, and successful security selection, gave both funds an edge over their benchmark indexes, which don’t include CMBS or ABS.

Our investments in high­quality ABS (primarily auto loans and credit­card receivables) were also rewarding during the period. The return of the ABS market was more than a full percentage point higher than that of comparable­maturity Treasuries. And our emerging­market debt holdings performed well, but represented only a small fraction of fund assets. Overall, across both funds, we had good security selection. The funds benefited from our overweighting in the finance sector. A modest stake in selected lower­rated industrial bonds was also rewarding.

The average duration of both funds was shorter than that of their respective benchmarks, which created some headwinds for performance during the six months. Also, consistent with our conservative approach to managing the funds, we modestly raised the liquidity targets of both funds. Our most liquid holdings include U.S. Treasury and agency securities, government mortgage­backed debt, and cash equivalents.

The past six months were an exceptionally turbulent period for the fixed income markets. During this time, our experienced credit analysts and traders worked very effectively as a team, helping to steer the funds. With the U.S. economy seemingly poised for a period of slow growth, we believe our team’s experience and independent judgment provides an exceptionally solid grounding for the high credit quality of our funds.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, Vanguard Long­Term Investment­Grade Fund returned 8.79% for Investor Shares and 8.85% for Admiral Shares, in line with its benchmark index and almost 4 percentage points ahead of the average return of peer funds.

The fund invests primarily in corporate bonds with 10 to 30 years until maturity. The fund’s returns are affected by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions, which influence the creditworthiness of the issuers of corporate bonds.

The investment environment
We continue to anticipate that investment­ grade corporate bonds will perform well in 2010. We believe that the ongoing modest economic recovery, improving corporate fundamentals, and accommodative monetary policy all support better relative valuations for the sector. In addition, inflation should remain subdued, keeping bond yields stable. Across the corporate bond investment universe, companies continue to focus on free cash­flow generation to strengthen balance sheets.

From a fundamental perspective, nonfinancial corporations are getting even stronger with growing revenue and profitability. We believe that the loan losses at financial companies have likely peaked, and their profits have been improving. The recently passed U.S. financial reform bill is likely to influence the performance of major financial companies; we believe that, over the longer term, the result could be positive, as their balance sheets will become less risky. Lastly, the technical backdrop has remained favorable for the sector, as low money market rates have helped to increase demand for corporate bonds.

The fund’s successes
The fund performed in line with the Barclays Capital U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index for the six months. An underweight position in noncorporate bonds, such as municipal and sovereign debt, and exposure to select insurance companies both contributed to relative returns.

The fund’s shortfalls
Relative to the benchmark index, the fund was underweighted in defensive sectors such as capital goods and certain utilities, based on our view that these sectors will underperform in an improving economic environment. This detracted from relative six­month returns, as these sectors did well when investors grew more risk­averse.

13



The fund’s positioning
We expect that the fund’s holdings of long­term investment­grade bonds with excellent call protection will contribute to income stability. The major risks to the fund are a rise in long­term interest rates, a widening in corporate bond risk premiums, or both together.

Corporate yields are attractive relative to money market rates, although they are low by historical standards. Corporate bond valuations continue to reflect higher default rates than we anticipate, and we believe that spreads will tighten. We believe that the Federal Reserve will keep short­term rates low for an extended period and that inflation will remain muted as well.

Corporate fundamentals continue to improve, and we believe that bond valuations relative to Treasuries remain attractive. In this environment, we favor the finance sector. Success at raising capital, improving balance sheets, and realigning businesses has helped money­center banks to emerge much stronger, and we expect bonds of these issuers to continue to perform well. In addition, a strong regulatory environment will help to mitigate risks at these companies. We do not plan to increase exposure to utilities and many of the more defensive industrial segments, as we expect they will under­perform as yield spreads tighten. Rather, we favor communications issuers, which typically generate significant free cash flows and have solid underlying credit metrics.

We generally purchase bonds of large, well­established companies with stable operating histories for the fund, and we do not own foreign bonds denominated in non­-U.S. currencies.

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, Vanguard High­Yield Corporate Fund returned 6.23% for Investor Shares and 6.30% for Admiral Shares, a bit behind its benchmark index but ahead of the average return of peer funds.

The investment environment
So far, calendar 2010 has been a roller­ coaster year for the high­yield market. In the first four months, investors cheered the ongoing U.S. recovery and added a net $4.6 billion to high­yield mutual funds. Average high­yield bond prices rose from $95 per $100 of par value on December 31 to $99 per $100 of par value, pushing yields down to just 8.1% on April 30—the lowest level since the credit crisis and recession.

14



In May, however, underwhelming data about the pace of recovery in U.S. employment, consumer health, housing, and manufacturing stoked the market’s festering fears of a meaningful U.S. economic slowdown. These fears were exacerbated by concerns about European sovereign stability and austerity measures. High­yield investors withdrew a net $5.6 billion from mutual funds in May and early June. Average high­yield prices fell back to where they had started the year and yields widened to 9.3%.

Market sentiment reversed yet again in late June. Doubts about a recovery, so widespread just weeks prior, were dismissed. Investors committed a net $4.2 billion to the high­yield market in late June and July—causing bond prices to rally back to $99 per $100 of par value. The market yield compressed to 8.3%.

In response to recent demand, new issuance in the high­yield market has picked up again. A total of $87 billion in new bonds were issued from January through April (an average of $22 billion per month). The market accepted just $12 billion in May and June combined, but issuance then rebounded to $12 billion in July alone, and early trends in August are strong. At this pace, new issuance in calendar 2010 would be the greatest in a decade.

For the six months ended July 31, the broad high­yield market returned 6.88%. BB­rated bonds returned more than 7% for the period, and both B­rated and CCC­rated bonds returned about 6%. The distressed segment of the market, consisting of bonds rated below CCC, returned a little more than 11%. The portfolio returned 6.23% for Investor Shares in this environment, hampered on a relative basis by its holdings in cash and short­maturity U.S. Treasuries and its relative performance in the finance sector.

Looking ahead, we see opposing forces at work. On the positive side, high­yield default rates have continued to decline. The high­yield market has experienced just nine defaults so far in calendar­year 2010, affecting a $2.3 billion par amount of high­yield bonds, compared with 94 defaults and $91 billion affected in calendar 2009. For all of 2010, Moody’s is projecting a default rate of just 2.4%, compared with 13.0% in 2009. This dramatic reduction in defaults implies little future headwind from default losses. The high­yield market also will benefit from the Federal Reserve’s accommodative monetary policy: As the broad U.S. economy has proven too unhealthy to sustain itself, we believe the Fed has no choice but to maintain its current near­zero rate policy, greasing the wheels for refinancings and keeping a lid on corporate borrowing costs.

15



On the negative side, the broad market still includes a high proportion of lower­quality bonds. Bonds rated CCC and below constituted 21% of the market on July 31, well above 10­ and 20­year long­term averages of 17% and 13%, respectively. This mix is due to the huge leveraged buyouts of 2006 and 2007. Many of these issuers weathered the recession because they had loose covenants and did not need to make cash debt­service payments, but a stagnant broad economy might shut their refinancing window for critical maturities due in 2012–2014. We view these marginal borrowers as a likely source of future defaults and restructurings.

Valuations in the high­yield market are attractive, but fundamental macroeconomic concerns, both in the United States and around the globe, are reasons for pause. Because we remain skeptical of the U.S. recovery’s sustainability, we believe that leveraged credit markets remain vulnerable. We continue to pursue a high­quality approach, in which we focus on issuers with stable cash flows and the ability to service their debt obligations with a comfortable margin of error.

The fund’s successes
Compared with the benchmark index, the fund benefited from its underweighting in the home construction and restaurant sectors, its overweighting in metals, and its credit decisions in the health care, technology, and food and beverages sectors.

The fund’s shortfalls
The fund’s holdings in cash and U.S. Treasuries hurt relative performance for the period. Also holding back results were our relative overweight allocations to the finance, technology, and utilities sectors, as well as credit decisions in the finance, media, and utilities sectors.

The fund’s positioning
The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy, and maintains a meaningful exposure to higher­quality issuers in the high­yield market. We believe these bonds have more consistent businesses and more predictable cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum. We focus on higher­quality bonds in an effort to minimize defaults and to provide stable income.

We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry, and we tend to avoid non­cash­paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity­linked securities, such as convertibles, because of the potential volatility of these instruments.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Financial Statements (unaudited)

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary
As of July 31, 2010

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 reports a complete list of its holdings in regulatory filings 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 institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 upfront 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

30



Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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. Swaption Contracts: A swaption contract is an option to enter into a swap contract. The fund has purchased put swaptions whereby the fund has bought the right to enter into an interest rate swap, paying a fixed rate and receiving a floating rate. The fund has also written put swaptions whereby the fund has granted a counterparty the right to enter into an interest rate swap, with the fund paying a floating rate and receiving a fixed rate. The premium paid for a purchased swaption is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the swaption purchased. The premium received for a written swaption is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is

31



Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the swaption written. Fluctuations in the value of the swaptions are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized. The risks associated with purchasing swaptions are that a counterparty will default on its obligations, or that interest rates move such that the option is out-of-the money, the position expires worthless, and the fund loses the premium paid to enter the trade. The risk associated with writing swaptions is that interest rates move such that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option and the fund has a loss equal to the market value of the swap, less the premium received.

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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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 is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $7,207,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 2.88% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At July 31, 2010, 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.

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 $47,265,000 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, 2010, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $91,094,000 to offset future net capital gains of $9,274,000 through January 31, 2013, $49,839,000 through January 31, 2014, and $31,981,000 through January 31, 2015 The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2011; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

The fund had realized losses totaling $32,756,000 through January 31, 2010, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $36,189,468,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $724,369,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,187,799,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $463,430,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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 upfront 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

54



Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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. 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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $2,914,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 1.17% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At July 31, 2010, 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 $11,417,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The fund had realized losses totaling $5,647,000 through January 31, 2010, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $14,072,760,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,132,912,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,279,355,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $146,443,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $2,322,391,000 of investment securities and sold $1,735,365,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $31,481,000 and $251,191,000, respectively.

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 upfront 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

77



Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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.

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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2010, 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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $1,733,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.69% 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At July 31, 2010, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 2 inputs.

E. At July 31, 2010, the fund had the following open swap contracts:

BOANA—Bank of America, N.A.
2 Investment Grade Corporate Credit Default Swap Index–Version 11.
3 Investment Grade Corporate Credit Default Swap Index–Version 14.

At July 31, 2010, 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 $3,606,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

Long-Term Investment-Grade 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, 2010, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $168,198,000 to offset future net capital gains of $281,000 through January 31, 2011, $15,169,000 through January 31, 2015, $84,055,000 through January 31, 2017, and $68,693,000 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, 2011; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $8,140,732,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $858,651,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $905,818,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $47,167,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $977,492,000 of investment securities and sold $609,696,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $193,427,000 and $231,331,000, respectively.

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. 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. 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 for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended July 31, 2010, 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.

92



High-Yield Corporate Fund

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

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2010, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% 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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $2,280,000 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3 
Investments  ($000)  ($000)  ($000) 
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations    386,936   
Corporate Bonds    11,414,635   
Common Stocks  33,690     
Temporary Cash Investments  224,450  223,600   
Total  258,140  12,025,171   

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.

93



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, 2010, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $1,801,238,000 to offset future net capital gains of $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 $409,720,000 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, 2011; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,781,705,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $501,606,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $701,901,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $200,295,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2010, the fund purchased $2,129,783,000 of investment securities and sold $2,044,896,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $84,387,000 and $52,882,000, respectively.

G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

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 fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares, 0.11% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.24% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.13% 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 and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the funds. 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 performance results have been competitive versus its benchmark and peer group. The board noted that shortfalls in the performance of the High-Yield Corporate Fund versus its benchmark and peer-group average are a result of the fund’s higher-quality bias in an environment that has favored lower-quality bonds. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

98



Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that each fund’s advisory expense ratio was also well below its peer-group average. 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 expenses.

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’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 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.

Glossary

30-Day SEC 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.

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.

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.

Credit Quality. The credit ratings assigned to fixed income securities are an indicator of risk. They represent a rating agency’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. For this report, credit-quality ratings for each issue are obtained from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

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.

100



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.

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 162 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.
