Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

The decline in bond prices during the six months ended July 31, 2013, was an uncomfortable experience for many of us. Prices dropped after the Federal Reserve chairman suggested that a prime support of the bond market—the central bank’s extensive purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities—might be scaled back earlier than many expected.

The magnitude of the downdraft created a lot of drama, so some perspective may be helpful. The broad investment-grade bond market returned about –2% during the fiscal half year, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. For comparison, that index posted six-month returns in the range of –3% to –4% at various points during the 1994 bear market in bonds and in 2008, during the financial crisis. Across asset classes, double-digit price slides in the stock market are far more common.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s remarks affected longer-term bonds and mortgage-backed securities the most. As a result, Investor Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund returned –6.39%, and those of Vanguard GNMA Fund returned –2.47%. Returns for Investor Shares of the other Vanguard U.S. Government Bond Funds, while also negative, were more muted: –0.21% for the Short-Term Treasury Fund,

–0.45% for the Short-Term Federal Fund, and –1.66% for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund.

Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, the funds’ SEC yields rose during the period, in some cases substantially. For Investor Shares, for example, the yields of the two short-term funds almost doubled from January 31, 2013, to July 31, rising to 0.25% for the Short-Term Treasury Fund and 0.51% for the Short-Term Federal Fund. The yield of the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund rose from 0.75% to 1.30%, and that of the Long-Term Treasury Fund rose from 2.65% to 3.19%. On the other hand, the GNMA Fund’s yield ended the period roughly where it began.

The Fed and Detroit grabbed the headlines for bond investors
Chairman Bernanke suggested in May and again in June that the Fed might start tapering its bond-buying program later this year instead of waiting until 2014, as many had expected. As I’ve noted, in the wake of his comments, Treasury prices fell as many investors sold their bonds (to investors with a contrary view). The U.S. taxable bond market returned –1.62% for the half year.

Illustrating a contagious mindset in the bond market, municipal bonds—which are not in the Fed’s program, of course—also felt the effect. Moreover, Detroit filed in July for bankruptcy protection, a move that came as no surprise to many investors but

was jarring nonetheless. As a result, municipal bonds fared worse than taxable bonds, returning –3.94% for the period.

It bears remembering, though, that Detroit debt constitutes just 0.05% of the entire muni bond market. We continue to believe that municipal bonds may make sense as part of a diversified portfolio for investors in higher tax brackets. As Sarah Hammer, a senior investment analyst with Vanguard’s Investment Strategy Group, put it, “State and local governments have the ability and willingness to continue to make their debt service payments.”

The Fed’s target for short-term rates remained between 0% and 0.25%, capping the returns from money market funds and savings accounts.

U.S. stocks set a brisk pace; international markets struggled
U.S. stocks, which returned about 14% for the half year, posted positive returns in five of the six months. The exception was June, when stocks slid after Chairman Bernanke’s remarks. July saw domestic stocks rebound sharply, helped by favorable economic news and reassuring words from Fed officials.

Despite an increase in July, international stocks finished the six months with a return of less than 1%. Much of the weakness came from emerging markets, where the slowing rate of growth, especially in China and Brazil, has been a concern. Developed markets in the Pacific region and Europe posted modest gains.

Midway through the period, yields reversed course
The increase in yields that accompanied the drop in bond prices during the half year was sharp, sudden, and across the board. Over the first three months, for example, the yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note declined from 1.99% to 1.67%. Following the Fed chairman’s initial comments in May, the yield increased, as prices fell, and it ended the half year at 2.60%.

Prices dropped less precipitously for shorter-term Treasuries, reflecting their lower duration, a gauge of interest rate sensitivity. (A rule of thumb is that a rise of one percentage point in interest rates reduces the price of a bond by one percentage point for each year of duration.) The Short-Term Treasury Fund suffered a capital decline of –0.37%, which was partly offset by the fund’s income return.

For the Short-Term Federal Fund, the capital decline was greater despite the fund’s short duration. This fund focuses primarily on the bonds of federal agencies, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; in addition, mortgage-backed securities from those agencies make up about 10% of its portfolio. Both agency bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities—which likely would face purchase cutbacks in the tapering phase of the Fed’s program—underperformed Treasuries during the half year. However, the hardest-hit

mortgage-backed securities were GNMAs, and, as you would expect, this significantly affected the GNMA Fund’s performance.

The Long-Term Treasury Fund suffered the steepest decline, a consequence of its sharply longer duration of 15.0 years. By comparison, the duration of the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund is 5.3 years and that of the GNMA Fund is 5.8 years. The duration of each of the short-term funds is about 2 years.

Despite the volatility we’ve experienced, bonds’ role in tempering the volatility of a portfolio’s stock portion remains undiminished. For more about how bonds can help, you might like to review our report titled Risk of Loss: Should the Prospect of Rising Rates Push Investors From High-Quality Bonds? (available at vanguard.com/research).

Predicting the future is tricky, but preparing for it is prudent
Now that much of 2013 is in the rearview mirror, it’s clear that few of us had anticipated several big events—such as record highs in some stock market indexes, the powerful rally in long-slumbering Japan, and renewed upheaval in Egypt. Of course, such unpredictability underscores the challenge of forecasting.

Investment insight
How yields could approximate future returns  
It’s often said that a bond’s current yield to maturity—its rate of return if held until the
bond matures—is a good indicator of the total return you will realize on the bond. The
table compares the two figures to show how closely current yields and future returns
have tracked each other.    
 
The yields in the yield to maturity column are as of December 31. The return column
shows the average annual total return over the succeeding ten years—and while we
can’t yet know what the return will be for the coming decade, the 2012 yield offers a
clue. You can find your fund’s yield to maturity on the Fund Profile page.

Vanguard’s approach to forecasting differs from that of many other investment firms. Joe Davis, our chief economist, is fond of saying that we “treat the future with the deference it deserves.”

Each January, our economists publish Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook (also available at vanguard.com/ research). They update their perspectives periodically and address significant developments—such as Detroit’s bankruptcy filing—with thoughtful, timely analysis and commentary. But, in keeping with Joe’s comment, our economists don’t make the pinpoint projections that you’ll see elsewhere.

Instead, using sophisticated statistical models, we provide a range and probability of potential outcomes—for the inflation rate or the 10-year Treasury yield, for example. And we explain our rationale for such outcomes.

In short, our forecasts acknowledge that no one has a crystal ball or can envision every scenario. And that underlines one of our core investment principles: Develop a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds. Having a balanced portfolio can help you get through unforeseen events and achieve your goals—even without a crystal ball.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III

Advisors’ Report

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

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, returns for the U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from –6.39% for Investor Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund to –0.16% for Admiral Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund. All except the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund were a step behind their benchmark indexes; all but the Long-Term Treasury Fund exceeded the average returns of their peer groups.

The investment environment
The Federal Reserve’s target federal funds interest rate remained between 0% and 0.25%, as it has since late 2008. The Federal Reserve has said that any increase in the rate would be tied to specific unemployment and inflation targets, and it may be a long time before the Fed raises it. With little room to maneuver, the central bank also turned to a series of unconventional stimulus measures known as quantitative easing, using its balance sheet to buy roughly $2.6 trillion of U.S. Treasury and federal-agency bonds and government mortgage-backed securities (MBS).

The Fed’s statements that any adjustment to the pace of its asset purchases would depend on the evolving economic outlook perpetuated an environment in which market participants expected the purchases to continue as long as unemployment remained stubbornly high and inflation stayed under control.

Interest-rate-sensitive sectors responded favorably to the stimulus measures, helping the housing market to keep regaining strength. Yet a fiscal deal that raised taxes this past January, and budget-sequester spending cuts that followed in March, hurt growth and the labor market. In this environment, Treasury yields traded in a narrow range, supported by the Fed’s purchases.

It’s clear from recent Fed comments, though, that quantitative easing is wearing out its welcome. In May, Chairman Ben Bernanke surprised the markets by signaling that the Fed might start tapering its bond-buying pace later this year. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note had only recently reached a 2013 low of 1.63% on disappointing economic data. Since then, economic conditions have steadily improved. That plus the prospect of a tapering pushed the 10-year yield—which stood at 1.99% at the end of January—to 2.75% before it dipped to 2.60% at the end of July.

Since the peak in yields, Chairman Bernanke has gone to great lengths to remind the market that the U.S. economy needs highly accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future. He may want to let some of the air out of the quantitative-easing asset bubble but not deflate the whole thing.

Management of the funds
When opportunities became available, and under the limits mandated by the Treasury funds’ prospectus, we improved returns in those funds by diversifying our holdings to include Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), for example. We found frequent opportunities to execute yield curve strategies that focused on the spread in yields between 2-year and 7-year Treasuries. In the Short-Term Federal Fund, as of July 31, we maintained a 15% position (in net assets) in Treasuries and 10% in agency MBS in addition to federal agency debentures, the fund’s main focus. Because spreads on short-term agency debt were tight, we emphasized 5-year and 7-year agencies, where spreads were somewhat more generous.

For the GNMA Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, Investor Shares of Vanguard GNMA Fund returned –2.47% and Admiral Shares returned –2.42%. The fund trailed its benchmark index but surpassed the average return of peer-group funds.

Investment environment
With few exceptions, the period was difficult across the bond market. Fed policy kept short-term interest rates anchored near zero, but intermediate-and long-term interest rates increased, steepening the typical upward slope of the Treasury yield curve. The yield on the 10-year note rose by nearly a third and ended at 2.60%. Most fixed income investments sustained capital losses, as bond prices and yields move inversely. The prospective acceleration of the Fed’s timetable for tapering asset purchases introduced substantial volatility into the mortgage-backed securities market. Spreads widened and liquidity declined.

As a group, federal-agency MBS performed poorly, with the Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index returning –1.60%. Much of this loss was due to the rise in overall interest rates. Mortgage-backed securities declined after the Fed indicated it might wind down its MBS-buying earlier than expected. Hardest hit were 30-year 3.0% and 3.5% coupons, in which the Fed’s purchases have been concentrated. Regulatory pressure weighed on middle coupons—those in roughly the 4% to 5% range in today’s market environment— amid concerns that a potential expansion in eligibility for the government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) could boost mortgage prepayments.

GNMA mortgages, currently ineligible for the program, were even more volatile than the broader mortgage market at certain points. Earlier in the period, they outperformed in anticipation that Japanese institutions would buy them, given the erosion of yields in Japan under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s aggressive “Abenomics” policy. But GNMAs tumbled when demand from those institutions failed to materialize.

Fund successes
The fund finished ahead of the average return of its peer group. Our allocation to Treasuries contributed to performance during the market downturn. Over the period, our interest rate positioning helped somewhat, as did our modest allocation to collateralized mortgage obligations.

Fund shortfalls
The fund’s total return for the period was negative, and it finished slightly behind its benchmark. Selection in single-family, 30-year GNMA securities weighed on relative returns, as did our allocation to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages. Our allocation to single-family, 15-year GNMAs was also a slight drag.

Fund positioning
We are paying close attention to shifts in economic data, as MBS tend to trade directionally with interest rates: Mortgage-

backed securities are likely to outperform Treasuries as rates decline and to underperform as rates rise. The market continually assesses new information and tries to anticipate when and over how long the Fed will taper its purchases.

Over the very near term, Fed purchases should continue to soak up available supply, and MBS may well continue July’s recovery from the difficult period we saw in the spring. However, as we look further out over coming months, risks seem skewed to wider MBS yield spreads over Treasuries—that is, to relatively weaker MBS performance. Stronger economic data could accelerate the Fed’s tapering process, which would remove fewer MBS than anticipated from the market’s supply. Also, the composition of the taper, between MBS and Treasuries, is unclear. Several Fed officials have shown less comfort with owning MBS. Regulatory debate in Washington adds uncertainty, given not only potential HARP changes but also proposed reforms of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration and changes to bank capital rules.

As we finish the year and head into 2014, we believe that income, rather than capital appreciation, will drive more of the bond market’s returns. In our view, GNMAs are priced close to fair value given current market conditions. Over the long term, though, we believe their yield advantage over Treasuries still offers compelling opportunities. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and Fed statements for guidance on the future of its MBS purchases and the impact on valuations.

GNMA prepayment risk remains relatively low given tighter mortgage underwriting standards and higher refinancing costs, particularly for borrowers with lower credit scores and higher loan-to-value ratios. We avoid securities backed by borrowers with strong credit, concerned that such homeowners will refinance and pay back their mortgage loans earlier, reducing the income generated for the fund and its shareholders.

As a whole, we believe that mortgage-backed securities will remain attractive to investors seeking high-quality assets with excellent liquidity. Like virtually all bond funds, though, Vanguard GNMA Fund is exposed to interest rate risk, and the potential for further principal losses exists if and when rates rise.

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at 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).

During the period ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written and options purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at July 31, 2013.

3. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $775,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.31% 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 market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 6,183,019
Temporary Cash Investments 7,990
Futures Contracts—Assets1 96
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (5)
Total 91 6,191,009
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At July 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 1,827 402,511 538
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 (605) (76,495) 184

 

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.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,184,135,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,874,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $19,854,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $12,980,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

1 Securities with a value of $5,199,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.
2 The issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are generally neither guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury nor backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
3 The issuer was placed under federal conservatorship in September 2008; since that time, its daily operations have been managed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and it receives capital from the U.S. Treasury, as needed to maintain a positive net worth, in exchange for senior preferred stock.
4 The average or expected maturity is shorter than the final maturity shown because of the possibility of interim principal payments and prepayments or the possibility of the issue being called.
5 Includes securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for which the fund has not taken delivery as of July 31, 2013.

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate notional 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).

During the period ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 12% and 9% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded

38


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written and options purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at July 31, 2013.

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 enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. 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 risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

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, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Short-Term Federal Fund

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 July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $692,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.28% 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 market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,287,184
Temporary Cash Investments 634,595
Futures Contracts—Assets1 124
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (124)
Total 5,921,779
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At July 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 4,057 893,808 925
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 (3,831) (464,958) 2,277
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 (892) (112,784) 332
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond September 2013 37 (4,960) 41
Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond September 2013 1 144 (8)

 

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

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

The fund had realized losses totaling $427,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,940,931,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $19,152,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $9,835,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $28,987,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $8,834,182 of investment securities and sold $9,074,393 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2013:

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate notional 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).

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written and options purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at July 31, 2013.

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. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed , and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $699,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.28% 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 market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,458,024
Temporary Cash Investments 43,657
Futures Contracts—Assets1 87
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (5)
Total 82 5,501,681
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At July 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 (548) (69,288) 170

 

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.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,463,563,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $38,118,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $103,957,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $65,839,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $1,150,862,000 of investment securities and sold $1,486,893,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2013.

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 notional 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

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.

GNMA Fund

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale 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 mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. 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 risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed , and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

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, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, 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

GNMA Fund

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

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $4,206,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.68% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 31,080,715
Temporary Cash Investments 4,483,366
Futures Contracts—Assets1 318
Total 318 35,564,081
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

E. At July 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

GNMA Fund

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

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

The fund had realized losses totaling $49,935,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $35,465,998,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $98,083,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $570,675,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $472,592,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $22,339,287,000 of investment securities and sold $28,644,602,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate notional 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).

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

80


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written and options purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at July 31, 2013.

3. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed , and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $375,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.15% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

Long-Term Treasury Fund

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 market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 2,824,786
Temporary Cash Investments 12,238
Futures Contracts—Assets1 53
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (3)
Total 50 2,837,024
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At July 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 872 192,113 262
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 (242) (30,598) 62
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 (75) (9,103) (42)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond September 2013 51 6,837 (65)

 

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

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

The fund had realized losses totaling $1,812,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

82


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,824,128,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,896,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $147,676,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $134,780,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $639,007,000 of investment securities and sold $933,242,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2013:

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 any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangements should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its respective peer group and that each fund’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections, which also contain information about the advisory expenses.

87


 

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

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

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

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

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), 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. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

Distribution by Coupon. A breakdown of the securities in a fund according to coupon rate—the interest rate that an issuer promises to pay, expressed as an annual percentage of face value. Securities with unusually high coupon rates may be subject to call risk, the possibility that they will be redeemed (or “called”) early by the issuer.

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

89


 

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 181 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 half year ended July 31, 2013, was difficult for the U.S. bond market. Gains early on were followed by a decline in May and an even sharper slide in June. The market was unsettled by comments from Federal Reserve officials that further improvement in the economy might warrant easing the Fed’s bond-buying stimulus before the end of the year.

That timetable seemed to surprise some investors, who had anticipated that the central bank would wait longer before scaling back its support. Although market sentiment turned more sanguine in July, bond yields ended the period significantly higher and bond prices lower (yields and prices move inversely to each other).

Among investment-grade corporate bonds, price drops were less pronounced for shorter maturities because they tend to have a lower duration (a gauge of sensitivity to changes in interest rates) than longer-term bonds. The Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –0.16%, the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund –1.70%, and the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund –4.68%. (The returns cited in this letter are for Investor Shares.) All three funds produced results more or less in line with those of their benchmarks. The short- and intermediate-term funds were also a step ahead of the average returns of their peer groups, but the long-term fund lagged.

Prices of high-yield bonds fell as well, but the income these bonds generated was enough to keep their performance in positive territory. The High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 0.72%, less than its benchmark and the average return of its peer group—both of which had more exposure to bonds at the lower end of the credit spectrum.

As bond prices dropped, yields increased. The 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, for example, stood at 1.40% on July 31, up from 1.10% six months earlier. Yields for the other funds rose even more.

On a separate note, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund marked its 40th anniversary in July. Congratulations to Wellington Management Co. for its successful stewardship since the fund’s inception.

Markets pondered the prospect of less support from the Fed
The Fed continued to provide unprecedented stimulus during the half year. It maintained its policy of ultra-low short-term interest rates while soaking up mortgage bonds and longer-dated Treasuries at a rate of $85 billion per month to support the housing market and hold down borrowing costs.

Yields nevertheless spiked in May and June after the Fed signaled that better labor and housing data could lead it to reduce the pace of its bond-buying—known as quantitative easing—later in 2013.

Although market sentiment improved in July, longer-term interest rates finished the period significantly higher than they began it. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note climbed from 1.99% to 2.60%, and the 30-year Treasury bond from 3.17% to 3.67%. By comparison, the yield of the 2-year Treasury bill inched up from 0.26% to 0.31%.

The effect of higher interest rates was felt across the bond market. The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –1.62%. Municipal bonds, roiled in July by Detroit’s bankruptcy filing, fared even worse, returning –3.94%. Returns from money market funds and savings accounts remained near zero.

U.S. stocks, meanwhile, returned about 14% for the half year, posting positive results for five of the six months. The market slid in June amid uncertainty about monetary policy, but it sharply rebounded in July following favorable economic news and reassuring words from Fed officials.

International stocks also rose in July but finished the period with a return of less than 1%. Much of the weakness came from emerging markets, where the slowing rate of growth, especially in China and Brazil, has been a concern. Developed markets in the Pacific region and Europe posted modest gains.

Corporate bonds had little yield to cushion the fall in prices
Returns for investment-grade corporate bonds were generally negative for the period (the Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned –2.06%). And because yields have fallen so low in recent years, there was not a lot of income to offset these losses.

As interest rates rose, shorter-than-benchmark durations were a positive factor for the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds. So too were their holdings in bonds issued by financial institutions. A continuing rebound in sentiment toward this sector helped its bonds hold up better than those of industrials or utilities.

The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund was hurt by its much longer duration. Security selection among financials plus an overweighting to that sector at the expense of industrials helped the fund edge its benchmark. But it underperformed the average return of its peer group—an imperfect comparison, though, as the latter is not composed solely of long-term funds.

High-yield bonds, which were able to generate enough income to offset price declines, managed to end the period above water, returning 1.97%. Because bonds of lower credit quality performed best, the High-Yield Corporate Fund’s tilt toward higher-credit-quality securities worked against it.

Predicting the future is tricky, but preparing for it is prudent
Now that more than half of 2013 is in the rearview mirror, it’s clear that few of us had anticipated several big events—such as record highs in some stock market indexes, the powerful rally in long-slumbering Japan, and renewed upheaval in Egypt. Of course, such unpredictability underscores the challenge of forecasting.

Vanguard’s approach to forecasting differs from that of many other investment firms. Joe Davis, our chief economist, is fond of saying that we “treat the future with the deference it deserves.”

Each January, our economists publish Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook (available at vanguard.com/ research). They update their perspectives periodically and address significant developments—such as Detroit’s bankruptcy filing—with thoughtful, timely analysis and commentary. But, in keeping with Joe’s observation, our economists don’t make the pinpoint projections that you’ll see elsewhere.

Instead, using sophisticated statistical models, we provide a range and probability of potential outcomes—for the inflation rate or the 10-year Treasury yield, for example. And we explain our rationale for such outcomes.

Investment insight    
How yields could approximate future returns  
It’s often said that a bond’s current yield to maturity—its rate of return if held until the
bond matures—is a good indicator of the total return you will realize on the bond. The
table compares the two figures to show how closely current yields and future returns
have tracked each other.    
 
The yields in the yield to maturity column are as of December 31. The return column
shows the average annual total return over the succeeding ten years—and while we
can’t yet know what the return will be for the coming decade, the 2012 yield offers a
clue. You can find your fund’s yield to maturity on the Fund Profile page.

In short, our forecasts acknowledge that no one has a crystal ball or can envision every scenario. And that underlines one of our core investment principles: Develop a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds. Having a balanced portfolio can help you get through unforeseen events and achieve your goals—even without a crystal ball.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Advisors’ Report

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

It was a volatile six months for bondholders. Signals by the Federal Reserve that it might scale back its bond-buying stimulus program sooner than anticipated took investors by surprise, causing a precipitous drop in bond prices and a spike in yields. The income earned by investment-grade bonds wasn’t enough to keep their returns from slipping into negative territory, and the Barclays U.S. Credit Index returned –2.06%.

Shorter-term bonds, which are less sensitive to interest rate movements, didn’t fall quite as much as longer-term ones over the half year ended July 31, 2013. The Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –0.16% for Investor Shares, –0.12% for Admiral Shares, and –0.10% for Institutional Shares. The Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –1.70% for Investor Shares and –1.65% for Admiral Shares.

Compared with their benchmark indexes, the short-term fund lagged slightly and the intermediate-term fund was marginally ahead. Both funds surpassed the average returns of their peers, largely because of the funds’ comparatively short durations and outsized allocations to the financial sector.

In general, the period was marked by concerns about the pace of economic growth both at home and abroad, which prompted additional counteractive stimulus efforts by central banks.

The U.S. bond market
The Federal Reserve’s mandate is to use monetary policy to achieve price stability and maximum employment. Its first response to the financial crisis was to start cutting the federal funds target range to push down short-term interest rates; that target range has remained at 0%–0.25% since December 2008.

As the unemployment rate rose, the Fed began the first of what would become three quantitative easing programs that involve buying U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) on a massive scale. These programs are a less conventional way to promote lending and increase liquidity in the economy.

The latest ones have the Fed buying $40 billion per month of MBS to try to keep home loan rates low and, starting this past January, buying $45 billion per month of longer-term Treasuries to help hold down borrowing costs for households and corporations.

Although the Fed has stated that changes in its monetary policy would be dictated by developments in the economy, comments in May and June that it might start to taper its bond-buying sooner rather than later jolted the market, sending prices down and yields higher.

For the period, the yield of the 3-year Treasury note rose 19 basis points to 0.59%, the 10-year yield shot up 61 basis points to 2.60%, and the 30-year yield climbed 50 basis points to 3.67%. (A basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Yields rose for corporate and high-yield bonds as well, and again, shorter-term bonds generally performed better than those with longer maturities.

Management of the funds
As bond prices fell, the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds posted negative returns for the six months. Their conservative positioning, however, helped them stay ahead of their peers.

Both funds’ durations were shorter than those of their benchmarks. The short-term fund’s duration at the end of the period was 2.4 years, compared with 2.9 years for its benchmark. The intermediate-term fund’s duration was 5.4 years, versus 6.5 years for its benchmark. Although funds with shorter durations tend to produce lower earned income, they generally also experience more muted price declines when interest rates rise, as they did during the half year.

For greater diversification and to reduce volatility, the funds also had significant allocations to Treasury bonds—about 12% of the short-term fund’s assets at the end of the period and about 8% for the intermediate-term fund. This market segment held up a little better than corporate investment-grade bonds.

10


 

As the financial sector has grown healthier on strong profits, more solid balance sheets, and rising asset prices, the funds’ overweighting of bonds from financial institutions also helped their relative performance.

We expect growth in the United States to accelerate modestly as the housing market contributes more to the economy, unemployment edges lower, and lending conditions ease. These developments should support the fundamentals of corporate issuers.

We also see downside risks, though, including a greater drag on growth from the playing out of budget-sequester spending cuts, renewed flare-ups in the European debt crisis, and a pickup in inflation. In the near term, volatility is likely to remain high amid speculation about when and how fast the Federal Reserve will start to rein in its bond-buying.

We believe that the funds’ comparatively short durations, broad diversification, and ample liquidity leave them well-positioned to weather further bouts of volatility.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, Investor Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –4.68% and Admiral Shares –4.64%, both slightly ahead of their benchmark index. The fund lagged the average return of its designated peer group of corporate A-rated debt funds; however, its long duration means it has few truly comparable peers.

The investment environment
This period was difficult for bond investors. Many were caught off guard by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s comments indicating that the Fed might taper its stimulative bond purchases sooner than expected.

As defined broadly by the Barclays U.S. Credit Index, investment-grade bonds returned -2.06%. Interest rates increased as the yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped 61 basis points to 2.60% at the period’s close. The yield curve steepened as short-term interest rates remained anchored near zero, and yields for longer-dated bonds rose sharply.

Against this backdrop, the price volatility of all fixed income securities increased. Performance patterns varied significantly among sectors, regions, maturities, and issuers. Most short-dated issues outperformed longer-term bonds such as those held in the fund.

11


 

The fund’s successes
A below-benchmark allocation to basic industry issuers lifted relative results as commodity prices retreated amid concerns about weaker global demand. Our allocation to the insurance and banking sectors also boosted relative returns on the margin. Security selection was favorable among finance companies, natural gas producers, and consumer cyclicals and noncyclicals.

The fund’s shortfalls
In absolute terms, the fund declined during the period, mainly because interest rates rose. Virtually all bond prices move inversely with yields, but this sensitivity to interest rates is especially pronounced in longer-dated issues.

An underweight to technology issues detracted from results relative to the benchmark; that sector held up rather well during the sell-off as tech companies’ credit trends remained stable.

Security selection also hurt relative performance, most notably within the electricity, communications, technology, capital goods, and insurance sectors.

The fund’s positioning
The recent sell-off was partly liquidity-driven, as trading became more difficult. In our view, spreads of many issuers whose credit metrics would not be materially affected by higher interest rates widened excessively in relation to the underlying fundamentals.

We expect short-term market volatility to persist, but we remain positive about the credit markets over the longer term. The U.S. economy continues to recover, which should help maintain a low default rate and high recovery rates. Such trends, along with modestly leveraged corporate balance sheets, indicate attractive credit spread valuations.

We remain wary of the fundamental risks in Europe, but the short-term cyclical outlook is improving, and the markets’ volatility should unearth opportunities. We believe that credit spreads will be tighter in a year, though the path is likely to be rough in the short term, given the position-driven nature of the recent market moves.

Once the credit markets stabilize, we will look to take advantage of the current dislocations to add attractively priced securities to the fund. But as growth picks up, we remain vigilant for signs of increased stockholder-friendly activities, which tend to bode less well for bondholders.

A key question is whether the Fed’s plan to scale back its quantitative easing program is premature. Is the economy strong enough to withstand higher rates? We think the Fed’s rollback is more likely to be too early than too late. Indeed, the sharp move lower in inflation breakeven rates suggests that the central bank may have been too hasty with some of its recent signals to the market. But as it has stated repeatedly, its timetable will depend on economic data. If the numbers disappoint, the Fed will have to adjust its message.

12


 

The timing, pace, and magnitude of any further interest rate increases will determine the performance of fixed income markets in the coming years and may well contribute to negative total returns in future periods. Many of the forces that kept yields low in recent years, though—easy monetary policies, subdued inflation, and global recession fears—remain in place.

The fund’s holdings in long-term investment-grade bonds with excellent call protection should contribute to income stability. The major risks are, of course, further rises in long-term interest rates, a widening in corporate bond risk premiums, or both.

We remain positive about investment-grade corporate bond spreads and maintain a favorable long-term outlook given strong credit fundamentals, supportive supply-and-demand dynamics, and attractive valuations. We expect the U.S. economy to improve in the year ahead and Fed policy to remain accommodative, though it may soon become somewhat less so.

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

The fund has a positive credit bias; we continue to overweight the banking sector based on its relatively attractive valuations and improving fundamentals. A steeper yield curve and higher rates should eventually benefit the net interest margins of U.S. banks if they can use their stocks of low-cost deposits to fund loan growth.

We also have smaller overweight positions in the insurance and brokerage sectors. The fund closed the period with an underweight exposure to noncorporate credit, capital goods, and technology.

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 0.72% for Investor Shares and 0.77% for Admiral Shares, compared with 1.97% for its benchmark index. The primary driver of performance was the dramatic rise in Treasury rates and resulting decline in bond prices.

From January 31 through May 9, the average price of the high-yield market rose $2 and generated a total return of nearly 4.4%. However, these gains were erased as the market reacted to Federal Reserve comments about the tapering of asset purchases and potential future rate increases. From a year-to-date low of 1.66% on May 2, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 94 basis points to end July at 2.60%.

Because bond yields and prices move inversely, bond prices fell precipitously. Longer-duration and interest-rate-sensitive fixed income assets declined along with their underlying Treasuries. In the high-yield market, the average bond price fell nearly $5 from its peak in early May.

13


 

The investment environment
Lower-quality bonds handily outperformed those of higher quality during the period. Caa-rated bonds returned 5.1%, compared with 0.81% for Ba-rated and 2.0% for B-rated bonds.

Higher-quality bonds underperformed because of their greater sensitivity to underlying Treasury rates. Conversely, lower-quality bonds, which typically carry higher coupons, earned more income to offset the drop in rates. The spread of the high-yield market narrowed from 477 basis points over Treasuries to 447 basis points at the end of July. The average price fell $2 to $103.

The recent sell-off in the high-yield market was driven by interest rates rather than credit concerns. Indeed, ratings actions and default forecasts remain benign, and balance sheets are in good shape.

The ratio of credit agency downgrades to upgrades has been steady for the past two years at about 1.0x, and the portion of bonds in the market rated Caa and below has been stable at about 17%. These measures confirm that the market’s underlying credit quality is unchanged. Likewise, Moody’s Investors Service is forecasting a forward 12-month default rate of 2.5%, only a small change from the realized trailing 12-month default rate of 2.9% and well below the long-term average of 3.9%.

By and large, high-yield issuers enjoy healthy credit profiles, with solid gross margins and interest coverage ratios so far this year. We expect the United States’ GDP to keep expanding in 2013 and 2014 and believe that most high-yield issuers can sustain these profiles.

New issuance has been robust, with $232 billion raised in the global high-yield markets during the half year—a faster pace than those of the comparable 2011 and 2012 periods. The quality of issuance remains high, with more than 80% of new issue proceeds rated B or better.

Issuers continue to exercise restraint in their borrowing, emphasizing balance-sheet repair over more aggressive activity such as share repurchases, special dividends, and leveraged acquisitions or buyouts. Thus far in 2013, more than 60% of gross proceeds have gone toward refinancing, a creditor-friendly trend solidly in place since 2009. In contrast, proceeds targeted for shareholder-friendly activity totaled just 23%.

In the past, elevated default cycles typically occurred only after several years during which aggressive borrowing exceeded 40% of the total. In this context, the high-yield market remains balanced and shows no immediate signs of fundamental credit deterioration.

14


 

The fund’s successes
The fund benefited from its relative weightings in the technology and metals sectors and from positive credit selection in utilities and in the food and beverage sector.

The fund’s shortfalls
Our holdings in cash and higher-quality, rate-sensitive bonds hurt relative performance, as did the fund’s longer-duration positioning. Relative weightings to the cable and gaming sectors and credit selection among some financial and media issuers also detracted.

The fund’s positioning
The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a significant exposure to relatively higher-quality names within the high-yield market. We believe these credits have more stable businesses and more predictable cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum, and we prefer them as we try to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry and deemphasize 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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counter-party exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate notional 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).

32


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 5% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written and options purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at July 31, 2013.

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 group of issuers. The fund may sell 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 may purchase 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 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 may enter 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 amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily 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 associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to

33


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counter-party risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. 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 pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

The fund may also enter into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps, when regulations require the swaps to be centrally cleared or when centrally cleared swaps are attractively priced, to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps. The same primary market risks associated with equivalent over-the-counter swaps apply with respect to centrally cleared swaps, but counterparty risk is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of pre-qualified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts. The average total amount of interest rate swaps represented 5% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

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, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, 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.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $5,513,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.20% 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 market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

At July 31, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $12,251,000 in connection with open swap contracts.

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

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $2,107,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The fund had realized losses totaling $14,441,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $44,760,550,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $92,974,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $494,157,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $401,183,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $9,882,207,000 of investment securities and sold $7,764,591,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $18,670,973,000 and $18,470,640,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2013:

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.

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. 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 and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on 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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counter-party risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate notional 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).

56


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 9% and 6% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written represented 0% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at July 31, 2013.

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 group of issuers. The fund may sell 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 may purchase 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 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 fund may enter 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 amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily 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 associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to

57


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counter-party risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. 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 pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts. The average amount of interest rate swaps represented 4% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

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, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $2,205,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.88% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

At July 31, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $18,151,000 in connection with open swap contracts.

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

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $6,282,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The fund had realized losses totaling $9,123,000 through January 31, 2013, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation on investment securities.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $17,048,455,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $275,089,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $624,514,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $349,425,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $4,103,214,000 of investment securities and sold $5,177,606,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $4,520,138,000 and $4,761,671,000, respectively.

The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund reports a complete list of its holdings in regulatory filings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends.

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. 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 notional 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counter-party risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Swap Contracts: The fund may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit exposure of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit exposure to a specific issuer or group 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

79


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay amounts due to the fund.The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counter-parties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. 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 pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 9% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average notional amounts

4. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide

80


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed , and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2010–2013), and for the perod ended July 31, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $1,533,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.61% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. 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).

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

At July 31, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $3,425,000 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. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $7,868,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,542,689,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $772,094,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,070,454,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $298,360,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $661,063,000 of investment securities and sold $1,251,620,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $522,855,000 and $53,614,000, respectively.

The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

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

High-Yield Corporate Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed , and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund.

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, 2010–2013), and for the period ended July 31, 2013, 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. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Prior to May 23, 2012, fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares were credited to paid-in capital.

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

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $2,028,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.81% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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 market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 232,391
Corporate Bonds 14,966,379
Preferred Stocks 366,797
Other 207
Temporary Cash Investments 478,900
Total 366,797 15,677,670 207

 

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.

97


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2013, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $577,285,000 to offset future net capital gains of $167,565,000 through January 31, 2017, and $409,720,000 through January 31, 2018. The fund will use these losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2014; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $15,319,418,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $725,256,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $859,886,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $134,630,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2013, the fund purchased $2,067,775,000 of investment securities and sold $3,662,040,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments.

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

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund 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, 0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.10% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangements should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that each fund’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections, which also include information about the advisory expenses.

101


 

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

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

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

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

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), 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. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

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.

103


 

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 181 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.
