Vanguard Funds

Supplement to the Prospectus for Participants

Prospectus Text Changes

The following replaces similar text for the second bullet point under the heading “Frequent Trading or Market-Timing” in the More on the Fund(s) section:

• Each Vanguard fund (other than money market funds and short-term bond funds, but including Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund) generally prohibits, except as otherwise noted in the Investing With Vanguard section, a participant from exchanging into a fund account for 60 calendar days (30 calendar days for investors other than participants in employer-sponsored defined contribution plans recordkept directly by Vanguard) after the participant has exchanged out of that fund account.

The following replaces similar text in the Investing With Vanguard section:

Frequent-Trading Limitations

The exchange privilege (your ability to purchase shares of a fund using the proceeds from the simultaneous redemption of shares of another fund) may be available to you through your plan. Although we make every effort to maintain the exchange privilege, Vanguard reserves the right to revise or terminate this privilege, limit the amount of an exchange, or reject any exchange, at any time, without notice. Because excessive exchanges can disrupt the management of the Vanguard funds and increase their transaction costs, Vanguard places certain limits on the exchange privilege.

If you are exchanging out of any Vanguard fund (other than money market funds and short-term bond funds, but including Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund), you must wait 60 calendar days (30 calendar days for investors other than participants in employer-sponsored defined contribution plans recordkept directly by Vanguard) before exchanging back into

the fund. This policy applies, regardless of the dollar amount. Please note that the 60-day clock restarts after every exchange out of the fund.

The frequent-trading limitations do not apply to the following: exchange requests submitted by mail to Vanguard (exchange requests submitted by fax, if otherwise permitted, are subject to the limitations); exchanges of shares purchased with participant payroll or employer contributions or loan repayments; exchanges of shares purchased with reinvested dividend or capital gains distributions; distributions, loans, and in-service withdrawals from a plan; redemptions of shares as part of a plan termination or at the direction of the plan; redemptions of shares to pay fund or account fees; share or asset transfers or rollovers; reregistrations of shares within the same fund; conversions of shares from one share class to another in the same fund; and transactions executed through the Vanguard Managed Account Program.

Before making an exchange to or from another fund available in your plan, consider the following:

• Certain investment options, particularly funds made up of company stock or investment contracts, may be subject to unique restrictions.

• Vanguard can accept exchanges only as permitted by your plan. Contact your plan administrator for details on other exchange policies that apply to your plan.

Before making an exchange into another fund, it is important to read that fund’s prospectus. To obtain a copy, please contact Vanguard Participant Services toll-free at 800-523-1188.

Plans for which Vanguard does not serve as recordkeeper: If Vanguard does not serve as recordkeeper for your plan, your plan’s recordkeeper will establish accounts in Vanguard funds for the benefit of its clients. In such accounts, we cannot always monitor the trading activity of individual clients. However, we review trading activity at the intermediary (omnibus) level, and if we detect suspicious activity, we will investigate and take appropriate action. If necessary, Vanguard may prohibit additional purchases of fund shares by an intermediary, including for the benefit of certain of the intermediary’s clients. Intermediaries also may monitor participants’ trading activity with respect to Vanguard funds.

For those Vanguard funds that charge purchase and/or redemption fees, intermediaries that establish accounts in the Vanguard funds will be asked to assess these fees on participant accounts and remit these fees to the funds. The application of purchase and redemption fees and frequent-trading limitations may vary among intermediaries. There are no assurances that Vanguard will successfully identify all intermediaries or that intermediaries will properly assess purchase and redemption fees or administer frequent-trading limitations. If a firm other than Vanguard serves as recordkeeper for your plan, please read that firm’s materials carefully to learn of any other rules or fees that may apply.
