Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

The Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds posted returns that ranged from about 2% to 6% for the 12 months ended January 31, 2011, as Treasury yields declined sharply for much of the year and then began to bounce back. The ups and downs in yields were a gauge of investor concerns: possible European debt defaults, fears of a double-dip recession, and deflation (on the way down), then economic growth leading to inflation (on the way up).

As a result, by fiscal year-end, the 30-day SEC yields for the Short-Term Treasury, Short-Term Federal, and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds were lower than year-earlier levels, while the Long-Term Treasury Fund’s yield was essentially unchanged. The yield of the GNMA Fund increased, which was a reflection of its advisor’s strategy in the mortgage-backed securities market.

Please note that Vanguard has broadened the availability of our lower-cost Admiral Shares. We have reduced the Admiral minimums on most of our actively managed funds to $50,000 from $100,000 as part of our ongoing efforts to lower the cost of investing for all of our clients.

A strong start a faltering finish for bonds
In January 2010, the bond market’s near-term prospects looked dubious, in large part because yields hovered near generational lows. Over the following 12 months, however, yields dipped lower still. The taxable bond market returned about 5% for the year. As investors searched for yield, corporate bonds produced the best returns, with the riskiest credits leading the market.

Toward the end of the fiscal year, an improving economic outlook pushed interest rates higher, putting pressure on bond prices. This dynamic was evident in the municipal bond market, where rising rates and a confluence of other factors weighed on prices. The expiration of the

Build America Bonds program, for example, raised the prospect of a spike in new tax-exempt issuance, while the extension of federal tax rate cuts that were set to expire made munis’ tax exemption somewhat less attractive. For the full year, the muni market returned about 1%.

As it has since December 2008, the Federal Reserve held its target for short-term interest rates near 0%, keeping the returns available from money market instruments such as the 3-month Treasury bill in the same neighborhood.

Stocks rallied as economy ground into gear

materializing in the second half of the year. Europe’s sovereign debt challenges and concerns that the economic recovery in the United States might not reach escape velocity seemed to recede from investors’ minds, displaced by strong corporate earnings and a powerful rebound in consumer spending and in the manufacturing sector.

The U.S. stock market returned about 24%. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks, often the first to respond to changes in the economic outlook, did even better. As a group, non-U.S. stock markets returned more than 18%. Emerging markets were the best performers. Despite high-profile dramas in Europe’s government bond markets, European stocks produced double-digit gains. Asia’s developed markets turned in mixed results on local exchanges, but the strength of the yen, the Australian dollar, and other regional currencies bolstered returns for U.S.-based investors.

Yields during the year took a roller-coaster ride
For most of the fiscal year, the yields of intermediate- and longer-term Treasury bonds declined while short-term yields remained low. The earlier part of the slide reflected investors’ concern over potential defaults by some financially stretched European nations. This later gave way to worries about a reversion to a recession economy and the accompanying possibility of deflation. Stronger economic reports, the extension of federal tax cuts, and the growing certainty that the Federal Reserve

would carry out a new stimulus program by buying a massive amount of long-term Treasury bonds sent yields higher as investors then focused on the possibility of inflation.

The lowest returns for the year came from the Short-Term Treasury Fund and the Short-Term Federal Fund, which returned 1.92% and 2.50%, respectively, for the Investor Shares. These funds continue to be affected by the Fed’s stimulus policy of keeping short-term interest rates low.

Returns for the Long-Term Treasury Fund were in the middle of the pack. The longer the maturity of a bond, the more responsive its price tends to be to inflationary expectations. As the possibility of a longer-term rise in prices began to push

yields higher and prices lower, the Long-Term Treasury Fund’s capital return turned slightly negative. However, this was more than offset by the interest income from its bond holdings, which helped the fund’s Investor Shares return 3.58% for the year.

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund and Vanguard GNMA Fund posted the highest returns, 5.59% and 5.71%, respectively, for the Investor Shares, but their performances were driven by different factors. The Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund produced a positive capital return, as the prices of its holdings increased and its yield declined.

The yield of the GNMA Fund ended the year significantly higher, rising to 3.27% from 2.53% for Investor Shares. Rather than big changes in market interest rates, this increase reflected the advisor’s decision to reduce the fund’s exposure to non-income-producing TBA (to be announced) mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and to increase its holdings of immediate-income-producing MBS.

TBA securities represent an agreement to buy MBS 30 to 180 days in the future. They produce a total return as securities purchased at a discount increase in value.

The GNMA Fund also continued to benefit from the “barbell” strategy its advisor adopted in response to an earlier major Federal Reserve initiative in which the

central bank purchased large amounts of MBS to stabilize the housing market and lower mortgage rates. The advisor’s strategy called for underweighting securities with coupon interest payments in the 5.0%–5.5% range, which the Fed had targeted and the advisor concluded were overvalued. At the same time, the fund overweighted lower-coupon and higher-coupon securities on either side of that range. Successful execution of these strategies helped the fund outperform its benchmark index.

However, the results of the three Treasury funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund lagged those of their indexes, in part because of the funds’ lower-than-benchmark “duration.” As part of their strategy, the advisors set each fund’s duration—a measure of bond price sensitivity to interest rate changes—based on the outlook for interest rates. A shorter duration is generally a more conservative stance: When interest rates rise, a shorter-duration fund typically would experience smaller price declines.

Please note: Given the nature of the mortgage-backed securities held in the GNMA Fund, the duration calculation must consider mortgage prepayments. The 4.8 years average duration shown for the Barclays GNMA Index on page 62 is calculated based on prepayment expectations, while the 2.7 years shown for the GNMA Fund is calculated by the advisor using actual, observed interest rate sensitivity—which the advisor believes is more reliable. If the method used for the index is applied to the fund, the fund’s reported duration would be only slightly shorter than that of the index.

A long-term look at performance highlights low costs and high skill
The Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds have two advisors, Vanguard Fixed Income Group and Wellington Management Company, llp. As you can see from the ten-year look at performance on page 7, the advisors’ strategies have paid off over the long term.

The Vanguard funds have kept pace with their index benchmarks, even though funds incur real-life operating costs. By contrast, because they are theoretical, benchmarks incur no costs.

Fortunately for Vanguard shareholders, our funds’ expense ratios are among the lowest in the industry. As the table shows, this has helped the Vanguard funds to outpace the average returns of their peers. But the margin of outperformance clearly also reflects the high level of prudence and skill the advisors have brought to the table.

Diversification can help you cope with what lies around the corner
The volatility of yields during the U.S. Government Bond Funds’ 2011 fiscal year showed once again the difficulty of knowing for sure what lies ahead in the financial markets. Regardless of the anticipated future direction of interest rates, we encourage you to diversify your bond holdings in keeping with the investment objectives and principles you consider in managing all of your assets.

Given the current level of interest rates, it seems reasonable to assume that the next move will be up, but a rise in rates is by no means preordained. Vanguard research suggests that greater uncertainty about the outlook for economic growth, inflation, and rates supports more fixed income diversification, not less.

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 fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, returns for the Vanguard Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from 1.92% for the Investor Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund to 5.72% for the Admiral Shares of the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund.

All of the funds trailed their benchmark indexes. The Short-Term Federal and Long-Term Treasury Funds also lagged the average returns of their peer groups, while the Short- and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds outpaced the average returns of their peers.

The investment environment and management

For the Treasury funds
Early in the period, the spread between yields for 2- and 30-year U.S. Treasuries continued to widen, reaching 385 basis points in mid-February. But when economic conditions slowly started to improve, leading economists to predict a self-sustaining recovery, the spread between 2- and 30-year bonds began to narrow.

Amid improving conditions, we prepared for an eventual change in monetary policy by taking a modest short-duration position, reducing the funds’ sensitivity to rising rates. In the Short-Term Treasury Fund, we lowered our exposure to 2- and 3-year

Treasuries, which are more sensitive to monetary policy changes. We also underweighted 3-year Treasuries in the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund. (The duration changes during the year also applied to the Short-Term Federal Fund.)

An early sign that the self-sustaining recovery was at risk came in May, when the European sovereign debt crisis hit. Treasury prices rose and yields declined as investors sought safety. (Bond prices and yields move opposite one another.) In the second calendar-quarter of 2010, the rally in 10-year Treasuries drove yields down by 88 basis points, from 3.83% to 2.95%. Two-year Treasury yields declined from 1.02% to 0.62%.

Economic conditions subsequently eroded more broadly, and the market’s focus shifted to the risk of a double-dip recession. Members of the Federal Reserve Board debated the effectiveness of purchasing more Treasuries to help stimulate an economy that some feared was at risk. We used this opportunity to extend the duration of the funds, to take advantage of declining rates. Anticipating that the Federal Reserve would favor the intermediate portion of the yield curve if it purchased securities, we modestly increased our exposure to 5-year Treasuries in the Short- and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds. The Long-Term Treasury Fund remained concentrated in the 15-20 year sector.

The portfolios initially benefited from our positioning. However, in November, bond yields shifted course and began a steep and strong rise, driven by profit-taking after the Fed announced its decision to purchase $600 billion in Treasury securities. The sell-off—especially in longer-maturity bonds—extended into December, supported by stronger economic data and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts.

Once again, economists believe we have entered a period of self-sustaining recovery. Economic conditions are showing signs of improvement, spurred on by the rebound in stocks and expectations of sustainable growth. The funds are positioned for an eventual increase in rates.

For the Short-Term Federal Fund
The mainstay investments of the Short-Term Federal Fund are bonds issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Bank. (The fund also invests in government mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries.) Since September 7, 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been operating under a federal conservatorship. Over time, investors have become more comfortable with the government’s commitment and the strength of the financial backstop. They have accepted lower spreads on Fannie and Freddie debt versus Treasuries, and liquidity has generally returned to pre-conservatorship normalcy.

12


 

Shortly after the fiscal year ended, the White House released a much-anticipated report on the future of the housing market and the role of Fannie and Freddie or their successor in it. The report is likely to ignite debate for some time to come; however, meaningful reform will take considerable time.

Under a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in place between the U.S. Treasury and both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the federal government continues to inject capital into the two companies. Because the agreement is set to expire at the end of 2012, some investors have been positioning their portfolios with debt that matures prior to that date. We believe, however, that other sources of federal support that will extend beyond that date will prove to be more than adequate. Therefore, we have taken advantage of buying opportunities to position the fund toward the longer end of the yield curve—beyond the expiration of the agreement—where spreads have been somewhat more generous.

As we previously reported, during the fiscal year the fund’s investment strategy was broadened (although not essentially changed) to include debt guaranteed, even if not issued, by governmental entities. This allowed us to invest in certain private-sector securities, such as bonds issued by Citigroup, issued under the federal Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. These securities, which equaled about 2.4% of the portfolio as of January 31, have performed quite nicely.

For the GNMA Fund
For the 12 months ended January 31, Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 5.71% for Investor Shares and 5.84% for Admiral Shares. The fund outpaced both the return of its benchmark index and the average return of peer-group funds.

The investment environment
The year started with markets on edge over rising sovereign risks, which threatened the prospect of a broader global economic recovery. Even the European Union/International Monetary Fund bailout for Greece failed to quell market fears over the fiscal health of other European countries.

Regulatory uncertainty also weighed on the markets during this time, as lawmakers in the United States approved one of the most significant increases in the regulation of U.S. banks. Treasury yields dropped meaningfully throughout the first half of

the period as sovereign issues, regulatory uncertainty, and, most important, weak U.S. economic growth fueled a flight to safety in government bonds. GNMAs, which possess full government backing as to the timely principal and interest payment of the securities’ underlying pool of homeowner mortgages, helped the mortgage-backed security (MBS) sector achieve strong price gains over the period as investors worried about the fate of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal Reserve’s agency MBS purchase program, which ended in March, also provided some support to the mortgages sector early in the year.

The second half of the year was marked by an increasingly positive tone in the markets, which was further bolstered by the prospect of the Fed’s program of Treasury purchases (later called Quantitative Easing 2). The next European bailout package—this time for Ireland—and stronger U.S. economic data also helped reinforce expectations of a lasting domestic recovery. Investor risk-aversion began to subside, reducing demand for the perceived safety of Treasuries, and Treasury yields rose. GNMAs, and MBS more generally, lost some ground in response to investors’ growing appetite for risk.

With Treasury and mortgage rates at historical lows, prepayment risk was a prevailing concern among market participants during the year. However, reduced availability of mortgage credit for all but the most pristine borrowers kept refinancing activity at bay, and security selection was supportive of returns. While this was a positive for investors, it certainly did not help the economic cycle, as more widely available mortgage finance would support U.S. economic growth.

Fund successes
The fund continued to generate a favorable return versus alternative shorter-term investment vehicles while neither substantially increasing risk nor compromising liquidity. The fund’s security selection was the largest contributor to returns, as we continued to focus on those securities that are least likely to refinance. We were able to adjust holdings as market opportunities arose.

Fund shortfalls
Our generally defensive stance in duration hurt the fund’s performance after the sovereign debt crisis peaked and yields fell dramatically.

Fund positioning
As we head deeper into 2011, we believe that more of the bond market’s returns will be driven by income rather than capital appreciation, which was the past year’s story. Although their yield advantage over Treasuries has compressed from the widest levels, GNMAs still offer a compelling opportunity.

14


 

Prepayment risk has also dropped significantly given the recent rise in prevailing mortgage rates, especially for higher-quality borrowers.

Meanwhile, lower-quality issues remain less sensitive to prepayments because the underlying borrowers have lower credit scores and higher loan-to-value ratios, which makes it difficult for them to refinance. For these reasons, we believe the sector will continue to be attractive to investors seeking high-quality assets with excellent liquidity.

We continue to favor issues with higher coupons, a group in which prepayments are expected to remain muted. We are also avoiding coupons of issues that we feel are most vulnerable to heightened prepayment risk because the underlying borrowers are able to refinance in the current market.

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

Short-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

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, 2008–2011), 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.

27


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $1,120,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2011, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 6,521,903
Temporary Cash Investments 21,011
Futures Contracts—Assets1 140
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (51)

D. At January 31, 2011, 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 March 2011 529 115,950 (92)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2011 (442) (53,392) 91

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $12,456,000 from accumulated net realized gains, to paid-in capital.

At January 31, 2011, the fund had no capital gains available for distribution.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,520,334,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $22,580,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $35,286,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $12,706,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $8,274,713,000 of investment securities and sold $8,021,437,000 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 vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Short-Term Federal Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund has entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously purchases similar securities for future settlement at a lower price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. Although the fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, it is compensated by interest earned on the sale proceeds and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund buys securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously sells similar securities for future settlement. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. 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

Short-Term Federal Fund

Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. 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.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. 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, 2008–2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. 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.

8. 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 January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $1,002,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.40% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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).

Short-Term Federal Fund

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2011, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,693,404
Temporary Cash Investments 393,544
Futures Contracts—Assets1 304
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (268)
Total 36 6,086,948
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At January 31, 2011, 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 March 2011 632 138,527 (12)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2011 519 61,457 244
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2011 (458) (55,325) 130
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond March 2011 (3) (362) 1

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $5,162,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

Capital gains required to be distributed in December 2010 included net gains realized through October 31, 2010. The fund realized losses of $2,214,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012.

The fund had realized losses totaling $50,000 through January 31, 2011, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,051,814,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $35,134,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $49,810,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $14,676,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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, 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 invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

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, 2008–2011), 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.

58


 

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $1,089,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.44% 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 January 31, 2011, based on the inputs
used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 6,293,663
Temporary Cash Investments 1,335
Futures Contracts—Assets1 147
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (50)
Total 97 6,294,998
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At January 31, 2011, 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 March 2011 513 112,443 (79)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2011 (428) (51,701) 135

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $15,944,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2011, the fund had $3,165,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

The fund had realized losses totaling $22,909,000 through January 31, 2011, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,204,275,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $90,723,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $130,248,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $39,525,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $5,342,438,000 of investment securities and sold $5,131,356,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

GNMA Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard GNMA Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the fund maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund has entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously purchases similar securities for future settlement at a lower price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. Although the fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, it is compensated by interest earned on the sale proceeds and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund buys securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously sells similar securities for future settlement. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. 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

73


 

GNMA Fund

risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. 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.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

6. 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, 2008–2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. 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.

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

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

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2011, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $6,202,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 2.48% 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.

74


 

GNMA Fund

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 January 31, 2011, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 35,691,330
Temporary Cash Investments 7,350,100
Futures Contracts—Assets1 3,263
Total 3,263 43,041,430
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

E. At January 31, 2011, 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)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2011 (9,079) (1,096,715) (5,634)

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $54,925,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

Capital gains required to be distributed in December 2010 included net gains realized through October 31, 2010. The fund realized losses of $71,394,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012.

75


 

GNMA Fund

Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed securities experienced deflation adjustments that reduced interest income and the cost of investments for financial statement purposes by an amount greater than the reduction of taxable income; the additional income reduction was deferred for tax purposes until it was used to offset future inflation adjustments that increase taxable income. The difference became permanent when the securities were sold. During the period ended January 31, 2011, the fund realized gains of $532,000 that were included in ordinary income for tax purposes as a result of deferred deflation adjustments; accordingly such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

The fund had realized losses totaling $8,427,000 through January 31, 2011, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $42,030,181,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,011,249,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,135,802,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $124,553,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $140,542,904,000 of investment securities and sold $141,520,094,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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

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, 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 invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

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, 2008–2011), 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.

87


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $496,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.20% 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 January 31, 2011, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 2,752,049
Temporary Cash Investments 22,582
Futures Contracts—Assets1 228
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (23)
Total 205 2,774,631
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At January 31, 2011, 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 March 2011 228 49,975 (44)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2011 (190) (22,951) 47

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $7,999,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

Capital gains required to be distributed in December 2010 included net gains realized through October 31, 2010. The fund realized losses of $465,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,833,049,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $58,418,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $63,029,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $121,447,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $1,691,321,000 of investment securities and sold $1,545,909,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.” The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, 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.

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 Barclays Capital using ratings derived from Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and Standard & Poor’s. When ratings from all three agencies are available, the median rating is used; when ratings are available from two of the agencies, the lower rating is used; and when one rating is available, that rating 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.

96


 

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 179 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 vanguard.com.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

The powerful corporate bond rally that began in 2009 continued, in more muted fashion, during the fiscal year that ended in January 2011. With short-term interest rates anchored near 0% by Federal Reserve policy, yield-hungry investors generally reached further out along the maturity curve and further down the credit-quality ladder. As a result, corporate bonds again outperformed like-maturity U.S. Treasury bonds, creating tailwinds for the Vanguard Corporate Bond Funds.

The best performer for the fiscal year was Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund, which returned more than 13%. Returns for the three investment-grade funds ranged from more than 4% for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund to more than 8% for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, outpacing the average returns of their peers but trailing their benchmark index returns. The higher-quality orientation of the High-Yield Corporate Fund again held back its results relative to its comparative standards, but to a much smaller degree than in the previous fiscal year.

Amid continued strong investor demand, especially for lower-quality bonds, the 30-day SEC yield for each fund was lower at the end of January 2011 than it had been the year before, as shown in the table on page 6. And because bond prices

2


 

and yields move in opposite directions, each fund’s capital return—from price appreciation—was positive.

Please note: As part of our ongoing efforts to lower the cost of investing for all of our clients, we have broadened the availability of our lower-cost Admiral Shares, reducing the Admiral minimums for most of our actively managed funds from $100,000 to $50,000.

A strong start but a faltering finish for bonds
In January 2010, the bond market’s near-term prospects looked dubious, in large part because yields hovered near generational lows. Over the following 12 months, however, yields dipped lower still. The taxable bond market returned about 5% for the year. As investors searched for yield, corporate bonds produced the best returns, with the riskiest credits leading the market.

Toward the end of the fiscal year, an improving economic outlook pushed interest rates higher, putting pressure on bond prices. This dynamic was evident in the municipal bond market, where rising rates and a confluence of other factors weighed on prices. The expiration of the Build America Bonds program, for example, raised the prospect of a spike in new tax-exempt issuance, while the extension of federal tax rate cuts that were set to expire made munis’ tax exemption somewhat less attractive. For the full year, the muni market returned about 1%.

As it has since December 2008, the Federal Reserve held its target for short-term interest rates near 0%, keeping the returns available from money market instruments such as the 3-month Treasury bill in the same neighborhood.

Stocks rallied as economy ground into gear
Global stock markets produced excellent returns for the fiscal year, with much of the strength materializing in the second half. Europe’s sovereign debt challenges and concerns that the economic recovery in the United States might not reach escape velocity seemed to recede from investors’ minds, displaced by strong corporate earnings and a powerful rebound in consumer spending and in the manufacturing sector.

The U.S. stock market returned about 24%. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks, often the first to respond to changes in the economic outlook, did even better. As a group, non-U.S. stock markets returned more than 18%. Emerging markets were the best performers. Despite high-profile dramas in Europe’s government bond markets, European stocks produced double-digit gains. Asia’s developed markets turned in mixed results on local exchanges, but the strength of the yen,

the Australian dollar, and other regional currencies bolstered returns for U.S.-based investors.

Yield-hungry investors again favored lower-quality bonds
A key indicator of the health of corporate bonds is the relationship of their yields to those of comparable-maturity U.S. Treasury bonds, which are considered to be free of credit risk. When investors feel confident about the economy and the strength of corporate America, they tend to require less incentive to accept the higher risk associated with corporate bonds. Reflecting this growing confidence, the yield spreads between corporate and Treasury bonds continued to narrow during the fiscal year. And even as worries about inflation surfaced late in the period, investors’ hearty appetite for income enabled corporate borrowers to sell significant amounts of new bonds—including more than $50 billion of investment-grade bank and other finance bonds in January.

Just as in the stock market, however, there were ups and downs in the returns of the various segments of the corporate bond market during the year. May was a difficult month almost across the board, as European sovereign debt concerns reached a fever pitch and investors sought the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. Several sectors also posted negative returns in November and December. Such volatility meant that it paid to be discriminating.

Not surprisingly, with short-term rates held low, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund posted the lowest fiscal-year return of the corporate funds: 4.38% for Investor Shares. Its counterpart, the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, returned 8.64% for Investor Shares. Both funds continued to benefit from asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities—which together represented nearly one-quarter of the average assets of the short-term fund and a smaller slice of the intermediate-term fund. The high-quality auto loans, credit-card receivables, and mortgages selected by Vanguard Fixed Income Group, the funds’ advisor, performed well. However, the advisor’s decision to modestly raise its stake in highly liquid (but lower-returning) securities—including U.S. Treasuries—held back results.

The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, advised by Wellington Management Company, llp, returned 7.01% for Investor Shares. This fund did not hold asset-backed or commercial mortgage-backed securities but enjoyed good results from the financial sector, especially insurance companies. Meanwhile, the High-Yield Corporate Fund, also advised by Wellington, returned 13.70% for Investor Shares—down from the previous year’s stratospheric level. Bonds rated below investment-grade attracted such strong investor interest that their average yields fell below 7% in January, nearly an all-time low.

Credit analysis and low costs have been a formula for success
For the decade through January 2011, the average annual return of each of the investment-grade funds was more than 1 full percentage point ahead of its comparable peer-group average return. In the world of fixed income investing, that’s a significant edge. The High-Yield Corporate Fund’s average annual return was just behind that of its peer group.

Investors have benefited from the rigorous credit analysis and highly disciplined investment approaches of Vanguard Fixed Income Group and Wellington Management Company, llp. The advisors’ expertise has been especially helpful since the subprime mortgage market unraveled in 2007. Admittedly, there may be times when a focus on higher quality—such as that of the High-Yield Corporate Fund—may “cost” investors a modest amount of return. But we think it makes no sense to stretch for a few percentage points of yield when the consequence can be a total loss of capital.

Diversification and low costs aren’t likely to go out of style
In my letter a year ago, I sounded a note of caution about the risk that prices of existing bonds, even those with short maturities, are likely to fall when interest rates rise. We continue to remind investors of this risk. Also keep in mind that the recent robust bond returns have been powered by falling interest rates. By definition, there is now less room for rates to decline even more and thus less opportunity for the kinds of gains we’ve seen, especially since spring 2009.

With interest rates still near generational lows, it seems reasonable to assume that the next move may be up. Of course, a rise in rates is by no means preordained. Absent a crystal ball, diversification may be the next best thing. In fact, Vanguard research suggests that greater uncertainty about the outlook for the future—including economic growth, inflation, and interest rates—supports more fixed income diversification, not less.

Each of Vanguard’s Corporate Bond Funds holds a cross section of securities carefully chosen from its respective segment of the broad U.S. bond market. And each fund boasts Vanguard’s trademark low costs, which help investors keep more of the returns. Individually or in combination, the funds can help you maintain a balanced portfolio that is consistent with your investment objectives and goals.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

AdvisorsReport

For the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds
As investors sought yields higher than those available from money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities, investment-grade bonds had another good year—although returns were tamer than last year’s. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, the Investor Shares of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 4.38%; Admiral and Institutional Shares returned 4.49% and 4.53%, respectively. The Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned almost twice as much (8.64% for Investor Shares and 8.77% for Admiral Shares). Both funds again topped the average returns of their peer groups but fell behind the results of their benchmark indexes.

The investment environment
Two overarching themes dominated the stock and bond markets: Investors continued both to become less risk averse and to reach for higher returns and yields. During some periods—for example, at the height of the Greek and pan-European sovereign debt crisis in May—the relative safety of U.S. Treasury securities seemed more appealing than riskier alternatives. Otherwise, investors generally viewed the glass as half-full, despite mostly tepid U.S. economic growth and stubbornly high unemployment. This positive attitude helped the broad stock and bond markets overcome some volatile setbacks to achieve solid results.

The U.S. bond market
During the first half of the fiscal year, four major concerns weighed on the U.S. bond market: fiscal woes in Europe, “stress tests” for European banks, prospects for financial regulatory reform in the United States, and the fate of a major Wall Street investment bank amid fraud charges by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

By midsummer, these uncertainties were resolved to investors’ satisfaction, making August one of the broad bond market’s best months. When Ireland’s budget challenges became front-page news in late 2010, investors responded with more of a hiccup than a gasp.

Market conditions near the end of the fiscal year reminded us of those of a year ago. With plenty of cash on the sidelines, investors were stretching for yield and shrugging off risk. Robust demand helped corporate borrowers take advantage of low rates by selling significant amounts of new bonds.

In addition to these favorable “technical” conditions, fundamentals also turned very positive. Corporate balance sheets generally were stronger than ever before, with record amounts of cash. Companies started to generate top-line revenue growth—not just higher profits from cost-cutting—and reported healthy profit margins. We have yet to see a major uptick in capital expenditures, however. When capital spending does pick up, that will bode well for job creation, as we believe most employers are at or near the limits of the productivity increases they can achieve by reducing their workforce.

The end of the period saw a resurgence of mergers and acquisitions, a double-edged sword for bond investors. Bondholders can benefit when a stronger firm purchases the company in which they have invested. But the outcome can be less clear when a public company is taken private: A new private-equity owner may add more debt to the company and may no longer file public financial statements, making it more difficult to analyze creditworthiness. We view the increase in merger and acquisition activity as an idiosyncratic, or company-specific, risk—not a systemic one.

Management of the funds
As an integral part of our overall invest-ment strategy, we carefully consider and monitor the level of liquidity that we maintain in both funds. (Liquid securities trade frequently in large volumes and can be readily sold in the marketplace to raise cash when needed.) In addition to cash equivalents, our most liquid holdings include U.S. Treasury and agency securities and government mortgage-backed bonds.

During the second half of the fiscal year, we raised the funds’ liquidity targets again, especially for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund. We did this as part of our conservative approach to managing the funds, to provide protection for shareholders in the event of accelerating

cash outflows if and when the prospect of inflation translates to rising interest rates and falling bond prices. After an extended period of exceptionally robust net cash inflows, bond funds industry-wide began to experience net outflows late in 2010.

Our stepped-up holdings of liquid securities meant that we missed out on some opportunities for higher returns. However, other decisions we made to position the funds boosted their results.

Both funds, especially the short-term fund, benefited from holding asset-backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS)—which outperformed comparable-maturity Treasury bonds. For example, the Barclays Capital U.S. Investment Grade CMBS Index returned about 18%. The yield spreads of ABS and CMBS relative to Treasuries continued to move closer to historical norms after widening dramatically during the height of the financial crisis.

Our selections in the financial sector, particularly A-rated bonds that we identified as being mispriced by the market, performed very well. In energy, we added value through nimble trading during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, when credit spreads on some bonds relative to Treasuries became unusually wide, creating attractive buying opportunities. In airlines, the best-performing segment of industrial bonds, we did well with enhanced equipment trust certificates (bonds that are backed by actual aircraft).

Looking ahead, Vanguard’s proprietary U.S. economic indicators suggest that—for the first time in five years—the balance of risks is now tilted toward better-than-expected job growth. These upside cyclical risks—should they be realized—would seem consistent with a self-sustaining economic recovery and, eventually, stronger upward pressure on trend inflation and U.S. interest rates.

As a result, recently we slightly shortened the duration (a measure of interest rate sensitivity) of both funds. We continue to favor CMBS and ABS for their total return potential, as well as some bonds in the finance sector with attractive yields. We have maintained a small, core position in utilities and continued to underweight very high-quality, fully valued industrial bonds. We are confident that our experienced team of credit analysts, traders, and portfolio managers will continue to skillfully guide the funds in the coming months and years.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The investment environment
For the 12 months ended January 31, 2011, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 7.01% for Investor Shares and 7.14% for Admiral Shares, just behind the return of its benchmark index but about 1 percentage point ahead of the average return of its peer funds.

The fund invests primarily in corporate bonds with 10 to 30 years until maturity. Its returns are affected by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions that affect the creditworthiness of the issuers of corporate bonds.

We are still optimistic about the investment-grade corporate bond market and believe that credit spreads will continue to compress modestly relative to U.S. Treasuries. Strong credit fundamentals, positive demand/supply dynamics, and our belief that the United States will continue its slow recovery all support better relative valuations for the sector. We do not expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in the near term as inflation concerns will not be enough to offset the high unemployment rate.

While the outlook for the economy has improved, headwinds continue, so we believe monetary policy will remain accommodative. Labor and housing markets in the United States are still a concern, while policy and regulatory uncertainty might continue to drive volatility in the European markets. The biggest risks in our view are the European sovereign debt issues that, if they cannot be contained, could lead to a breakdown of the financial system; tightening policy in China, which could inhibit global growth if done too aggressively; and rapid rises in interest rates, which could cause investors to exit fixed income markets.

Looking across the corporate bond investment universe, we see that companies continue to focus on free cash flow generation to strengthen balance sheets. From a fundamental perspective, nonfinancial corporations are getting even stronger, with improved balance-sheet and credit metrics. Financial companies continue to deleverage, improving their capital ratios as regulatory changes are implemented.

The technical backdrop has remained supportive for the sector: Low money market rates have helped to increase demand for corporate bonds as investors look for higher returns. In addition, the lack of net issuance in other investment-grade fixed income markets—such as structured finance—continues to be positive for investment-grade corporate demand. While we do expect to see more shareholder-friendly activity given the very high cash levels on corporate balance sheets, we do not expect this to result in general credit quality deterioration.

Corporate yields are attractive relative to the federal funds rate, but absolute yields are low by historical standards. As such, we expect lower total returns for investment-grade corporate bonds in 2011 than those realized in 2010.

The fund’s successes
Tighter credit spreads boosted the fund’s return. Our underweighting of noncorporate bonds, such as taxable municipal bonds and sovereign issues, and overweighting of financials—banks, insurance companies, and real estate investment trusts—helped our performance relative to the benchmark.

The fund’s shortfalls
Exposure to select utility companies, brokerage firms, and energy issuers—in the aftermath of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill—detracted from the fund’s relative performance.

The fund’s positioning
We expect that the fund’s long-term investment-grade bonds with excellent call protection will contribute to income stability. The major risks to the fund are a rise in long-term interest rates or a widening in corporate bond risk premiums, or both.

Corporate fundamentals continue to improve, and we believe that bond valuations relative to Treasuries remain attractive. In this environment, we favor the financial sector, which has the highest return potential, albeit also higher potential volatility. Success at raising capital, improving balance sheets, and realigning businesses has helped money-center banks become stronger, and we expect bonds of these issuers to continue to perform well. A strong regulatory environment will help to mitigate downside risks at these companies.

Valuations in the utilities sector and many of the more defensive industrial segments do not warrant increasing exposure; we expect these sectors to underperform as 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, well-established companies with stable operating histories, and we do not own foreign bonds denominated in non-U.S. currencies.

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

The investment environment
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 13.70% for Investor Shares and 13.84% for Admiral Shares, trailing the returns of its comparative standards.

The high-yield market ended the period on a strong note, capping a second straight year of positive double-digit returns driven by sustained accommodative monetary policy, slow improvement in the domestic economy, and investors’ continued demand for yield.

Average high-yield bond prices rose from $96 per $100 of par value in January 2010 to $103 per $100 of par value in January 2011. With little headwind from default losses, the total return for the high-yield market was 16.19% for the 12 months. Returns were better in the lowest ratings categories. The Caa segment of the market returned about 18%, and the distressed segment of the market, consisting of bonds rated below Caa, returned about 32%. In comparison, high-yield bonds rated Ba or B returned slightly more than 15%. Our return was hurt on a relative basis by the fund’s holdings of cash and U.S. Treasury securities and its higher-quality positioning.

Strong demand for high-yield bonds was met with record new issuance of $229 billion in calendar-year 2010, far surpassing the previous record of $133 billion in 2007.

Borrowers took advantage of the open market to refinance a significant portion of debt maturing in 2012 and 2013. The wall of maturing leveraged loans that seemed so daunting just a year ago now appears more manageable. In general, high-yield companies exited the year a bit healthier, with less near-term debt and better liquidity.

Over the course of the fiscal year, the spread of the high-yield market compressed from 636 basis points over Treasuries on January 31, 2010, to 491 basis points at the end of January 2011, close to its 20-year average of 519 basis points. However, in our view, the real story is in the market yield, which contracted even more meaningfully, from 9.0% at the beginning of the period to 7.0% at the end. This yield was well below its 20-year average of 10.5% and within roughly 20 basis points of its all-time low of 6.8%, achieved in 2004–2005 in the buildup to the recent credit bubble.

Nominal interest rates are so low that issuers are borrowing to fund projects beyond operating or minimal capital needs. The pendulum of capital deployment has begun to swing back to shareholders. An increasing mix of new-issue proceeds is being raised for acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and buyouts. On the margin, companies appear to be more aggressive with the cash on their balance sheets and more willing to borrow. At the same time, low-quality issuance is on the rise. Caa-rated issuance

increased from 8% of the market in 2009 to 17% in 2010. Credit standards and covenants have loosened well ahead of the recovery of the underlying economy.

While we acknowledge that in the near term a supportive Federal Reserve and modest economic growth are likely to keep default risk low, we are surprised at investors’ willingness to drive the high-yield market yield to such lows. Over the longer term, we believe that current yields may prove to be inadequate compensation for rising rates brought on by the combination of inflation and the end of the Fed’s zero rate policy.

The fund’s successes
The fund benefited from an underweighting of the home construction, consumer products, and metal sectors and from bond selection in cable media, construction machinery, and manufacturing.

The fund’s shortfalls
The fund’s higher-quality positioning and holdings in cash and Treasuries hurt relative performance for the year. Bond selection in the financial, media, and technology sectors and underweightings in financials and media also detracted.

The fund’s positioning
The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a meaningful exposure to relatively higher-quality names within the high-yield market. We believe these issuers have more consistent businesses and greater predictability of cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum. We prefer higher-quality bonds in an effort to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and by industry and to de-emphasize non-cash-paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity-linked securities such as convertibles because of their potential for volatility.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. 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 and Institutional Shares are designed for 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 issuer or index of issuers. The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. If, for example, 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

30


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional 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 the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction 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.

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 fund has no open swaptions at January 31, 2011.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers 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. Swaptions are valued based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. 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 subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the swaption written. Fluctuations in the value of swaptions are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is 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. The primary risks associated with purchasing swaptions is that interest rates move such

31


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

that the option is out-of-the money, the position expires worthless, and the fund loses the amount that it paid to enter the trade. The primary 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. A risk for all types of swaps and swaptions 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 or swaption contract. This risk is mitigated by entering into swaps and swaptions 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 and swaption 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, 2008–2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $6,427,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 2.57% 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).

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

At January 31, 2011, 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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $7,330,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

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 $90,949,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The fund used a capital loss carryforward of $91,094,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2011, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2011, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $33,201,000 and $103,123,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

The fund had realized losses totaling $40,315,000 through January 31, 2011, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $37,162,092,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $513,902,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $934,666,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $420,764,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $15,147,680,000 of investment securities and sold $13,065,805,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $1,883,169,000 and $2,145,936,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fund’s put swaptions written during the year ended January 31, 2011:

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, 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 issuer or index of issuers. The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund has also purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. If, for example, 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 an amount equal to the

57


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional 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 the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction 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 based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers 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 risk associated with selling credit protection is 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 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, 2008–2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $2,475,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.99% 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 January 31, 2011, 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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $65,065,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

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 $21,928,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2011, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $2,869,000 and $117,495,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

The fund had realized losses totaling $3,719,000 through January 31, 2011, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,409,155,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $785,415,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $945,869,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $160,454,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $5,188,469,000 of investment securities and sold $5,959,143,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $36,763,000 and $471,597,000, 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, 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 issuer or index of issuers. The fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long 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, for example, 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 an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional 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 the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction 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 based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers 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 risk associated with selling credit protection is 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 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.

3. Repurchase Agreements: The fund invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

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, 2008–2011), 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 year ended January 31, 2011, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $1,560,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.62% 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 January 31, 2011, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 2 inputs.

E. At January 31, 2011, the fund had the following open swap contracts:

        Up-front Periodic  
        Premium Premium Unrealized
      Notional Received Received Appreciation

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 January 31, 2011, 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 $7,415,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

 

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2011, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $72,893,000 to offset future net capital gains of $4,200,000 through January 31, 2017, and $68,693,000 through January 31, 2018.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $8,575,156,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $403,382,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $535,493,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $132,111,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $2,094,445,000 of investment securities and sold $1,360,133,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $302,896,000 and $325,637,000, respectively.

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

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, 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 invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2008–2011), 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 fees charged to borrowers plus 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.

98


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2011, 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 January 31, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $2,168,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.87% 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 January 31, 2011, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 394,990
Corporate Bonds 12,225,713 3
Preferred Stocks 127,511
Temporary Cash Investments 141,669 442,000
Total 269,180 13,062,703 3

 

The following table summarizes changes in investments valued based on Level 3 inputs during the year ended January 31, 2011:

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 had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $1,079,306,000 to offset future net capital gains of $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. Capital loss carryforwards of $540,852,000 expired on January 31, 2011; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

At January 31, 2011, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,529,628,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $802,258,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $930,431,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $128,173,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2011, the fund purchased $5,062,688,000 of investment securities and sold $4,184,959,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $97,670,000 and $52,882,000, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2011, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the High-Yield Corporate Fund’s 1% fee on redemptions of shares held for less than one year, nor do they include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.” The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

You can find more information about the 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 0.12% 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.

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 Barclays Capital using ratings derived from Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and Standard & Poor’s. When ratings from all three agencies are available, the median rating is used; when ratings are available from two of the agencies, the lower rating is used; and when one rating is available, that rating 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.

106


 

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.

107


 

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 179 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 vanguard.com.
