Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

In mid-December, the Federal Reserve took the long-awaited step of raising its target for overnight interest rates, which had hovered near zero since the Great Recession. Because intermediate- and long-term rates zigzagged higher earlier in the year, Treasury yields across the maturity spectrum finished the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016, a little higher than they had started it.

Prices of longer-dated bonds tend to be more sensitive to rate movements than their shorter-dated counterparts. As a result, Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund was the worst performer among the funds in this report, returning –4.91% for the period. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for the funds’ Investor Shares.) The other four funds remained in positive territory; their 12-month returns ranged from 0.66% for Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund to 1.83% for Vanguard GNMA Fund.

All five funds lagged their benchmarks by between 12 and 48 basis points. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) Four of the funds bested the average return of their peers, however. The Long-Term Treasury Fund was the exception, although its peer group is not made up exclusively of long-term funds.

The funds’ 30-day SEC yields ranged from 0.82% to 2.50% on January 31, putting them 12 to 37 basis points higher than they were a year earlier.

Bonds ended flat for the yeardespite a strong finish in January
Although bonds surged during the final month, the broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –0.16% for the fiscal year. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note ended January at 1.98%, up from 1.75% a year earlier. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)

Bonds languished earlier in the period, when stocks were on firmer ground and many thought that the interest rate hike would come sooner rather than later. Market turmoil in January, however, seemed to remind investors of bonds’ appeal as both a diversifier and ballast for a portfolio.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned –3.78%, hurt by the U.S. dollar’s strength. Without this currency effect, returns were modestly positive.

Money market funds and savings accounts generated scant returns as the Fed kept its target for short-term interest rates at 0%–0.25% until December.

Stocks changed direction as global concerns grew
The broad U.S. stock market returned –2.48% for the 12 months. Stocks deteriorated after recording a solid result for the first half of the period. Investors grew more concerned that China’s slowdown in economic growth would

spread globally. Oil and commodity prices continued to fall, a trend that hurts producers but favors consumers.

As I mentioned, the Fed ended months of uncertainty by raising its target for short-term interest rates to 0.25%–0.5%. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Asia increased their stimulus measures to combat weak growth and low inflation.

The U.S. dollar’s strength against many foreign currencies also weighed on international stocks, which returned about –11%. Although emerging markets suffered the most, stocks from the developed markets of the Pacific region and Europe also posted negative results.

The rise in bond yields dampened the returns
As the Fed wound down its third round of stimulative bond-buying toward the end of 2014, speculation turned to when it might begin to raise short-term interest rates. Prospects for growth and inflation improved in the first part of the year, bolstering the Fed’s case and pushing intermediate- and long-term rates higher. The picture grew more clouded as the year went on, however, amid a number of concerns including Greece, China, and commodity prices. The Fed nevertheless felt the U.S. economy was resilient enough to support a rise in short-term rates near the close of 2015.

Higher interest rates should benefit buy-and-hold bond investors over the long term. But their rise over the 12-month period pushed prices down—especially for longer-dated bonds with their greater sensitivity to rate movements. The value of the Long-Term Fund’s holdings declined more than 7%. In contrast, the Intermediate-Term Fund and the GNMA Fund saw their holdings depreciate by roughly 0.5%, and returns for the two Short-Term Funds were virtually flat.

The Treasury and Federal Funds had durations shorter than those of their benchmarks in anticipation that rates

would move higher. (Duration is a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes.) That stance helped the funds’ returns, as did their allocation to government mortgage-backed securities, which generally offer some additional income over Treasury and agency debt.

The Short-Term Federal Fund’s overweight allocation to agency debt once again helped its relative performance.

The Treasury and Federal Funds lagged their benchmarks for the period, however, largely because of yield curve positioning. Although all Treasury yields ended the fiscal year higher, certain segments shifted unexpectedly, making it a challenge to invest in the right parts of the curve at the right time. For a more detailed discussion of this point, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows this letter.

The GNMA Fund’s return was a step behind that of its benchmark index but ahead of the average return of its peers. Holdings in collateralized mortgage obligations, which the benchmark does not include, along with good security selection were positives for the fund; its duration and yield curve positioning were detractors.

Although it’s important to keep an eye on how your investments are performing, it’s also good not to lose sight of why you hold them. Future bond returns may not be as strong as investors have become

accustomed to in recent decades. But we believe they will continue to fulfill an important role as a diversifier for equities and other more volatile assets you may have in your portfolio.

Low costs have helped keep returns competitive over the past decade
Minimizing costs is important no matter what you are investing in, because it puts more of the gross return in your pocket. It’s particularly important for bond and money market investing, as returns from these securities tend to be more modest than those the stock market can offer.

The Investor Shares of the five funds in this letter have expense ratios (operating costs as a percentage of net asset value) of between 0.20% and 0.21%, meaning they charge roughly one-third or one-quarter the average cost of their peers. (The ratios for the funds and their competitors are as of May 27, 2015, the most recent data available.)

Although the funds finished a step or two behind their benchmarks for the decade, low costs, along with the skill of their advisors, helped four of the five funds

Vanguard’s outlook for investors: Not bearish, but cautious
 
In Vanguard’s recently published global economic and investment outlook, Global Chief Economist Joseph Davis and his team discuss various market and economic events 2016 may bring, along with challenges and opportunities for investors.
 
Our forecast includes “frustratingly fragile” economic growth and more modest long-term returns from the global stock and bond markets. The report cautions that for the decade ending 2025, returns for a balanced portfolio are likely to be moderately below historical averages.
 
Our simulations indicate that the average annualized returns of a 60% equity/40% bond portfolio for the decade are most likely to be centered in the 3%–5% range after inflation, below the actual average after-inflation return of 5.5% for the same portfolio since 1926.
 
Even so, Vanguard’s steadfast belief in its principles for investing success—focusing on clear goals, a suitable asset allocation, low costs, and long-term discipline—remains unchanged.

outpace the average annual return of their peers. The Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund was the exception.

To reach your long-term goals, be realistic and try to save more
Although there have been times when it felt as if stocks and bonds were riding a roller coaster, the markets have generally risen in recent years. The broad global stock market in particular has posted some impressive gains since its turnaround began in 2009.

But 2015—and especially the start of 2016—were stark reminders that investments can disappoint. The U.S. stock and bond markets were barely positive in 2015, and international stocks and unhedged bonds finished in the red. In January 2016, many stock markets fell into or near bear-market territory.

(A decline of 20% or more lasting at least two months generally qualifies as a bear market.)

In Vanguard’s recently updated long-term look at the economy and markets, our global economists explain why they expect growth to remain “frustratingly fragile” and why their market outlook is the most guarded since 2006. (For more details, see the box on page 9 and Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, available at vanguard.com/research.)

Given these muted expectations, what’s the best course of action? I’ve often encouraged shareholders to focus on the things they can control. That advice holds true today.

IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by the Vanguard Capital Markets Model (VCMM) regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. VCMM results will vary with each use and over time. The VCMM projections are based on a statistical analysis of historical data. Future returns may behave differently from the historical patterns captured in the VCMM. More important, the VCMM may be underestimating extreme negative scenarios unobserved in the historical period on which the model estimation is based. The VCMM is a proprietary financial simulation tool developed and maintained by Vanguard’s primary investment research and advice teams. The model forecasts distributions of future returns for a wide array of broad asset classes. Those asset classes include U.S. and international equity markets, several maturities of the U.S. Treasury and corporate fixed income markets, international fixed income markets, U.S. money markets, commodities, and certain alternative investment strategies. The theoretical and empirical foundation for the VCMM is that the returns of various asset classes reflect the compensation investors require for bearing different types of systematic risk (beta). At the core of the model are estimates of the dynamic statistical relationship between risk factors and asset returns, obtained from statistical analysis based on available monthly financial and economic data from as early as 1960. Using a system of estimated equations, the model then applies a Monte Carlo simulation method to project the estimated interrelationships among risk factors and asset classes as well as uncertainty and randomness over time. The model generates a large set of simulated outcomes for each asset class over several time horizons. Forecasts are obtained by computing measures of central tendency in these simulations. Results produced by the tool will vary with each use and over time.

Consider saving more than you think you may need. That’s one way you can prepare for the volatility that may lie ahead, particularly as markets adjust to changes in policies from the Fed and other central banks.

Investors would be well-served to follow Vanguard’s principles for investing success:

• Goals. Create clear, appropriate investment goals.

• Balance. Develop a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds.

• Cost. Minimize cost.

• Discipline. Maintain perspective and long-term discipline.

Each of these principles—along with saving more—is within your control, and focusing on them can keep you on the right path.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisors’ Report

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

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2016, returns for the U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from –4.91% for Investor Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund to 1.27% for Admiral Shares of the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund. Although they lagged their benchmark indexes, all but the Long-Term Fund surpassed the average returns of their peers. (Note that the Long-Term Fund has an all-market peer group, a disadvantage this fiscal year when longer-term bonds underperformed.)

The investment environment
The Federal Reserve remained in the spotlight for most of the period as investors wondered when and by how much it might raise interest rates. Early in the year, an increase seemed imminent: GDP accelerated to 3.9% in the second quarter, the unemployment rate fell to a seven-year low, and wage growth improved.

During the summer, however, developments in China—further signs of weakness in manufacturing, unexpected currency movements, and sharp stock market losses—rattled global markets. Commodities slumped further as well, and U.S. GDP slowed to 2.0% in the third quarter. The Fed nevertheless felt the U.S. economy was resilient enough to

withstand liftoff in December, and it raised short-term rates for the first time since the Great Recession.

In contrast, a number of other major central banks continued easing monetary conditions as they battled weak growth and deflationary pressures. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan stepped up their bond-buying programs and introduced negative interest rates on deposits.

As global monetary policies diverged, the U.S. dollar appreciated and U.S. bonds grew more attractive for foreign investors. Although U.S. Treasury yields fluctuated over the 12 months and unexpectedly fell in January on a flare-up of concerns about global growth, they ended the fiscal year higher. Short- and long-dated securities climbed more than intermediate-term bonds. The yield of the 2-year Treasury note, for example, rose 30 basis points to 0.82% and the 30-year Treasury bond jumped 47 basis points to 2.79%, while the 10-year Treasury note climbed 23 basis points to 1.98%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Management of the funds
In this low-interest-rate environment, we tried to capture as much yield as possible. To that end, all four funds had an allocation to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) for the potentially higher returns they offered compared with Treasuries and agency debt. Security selection helped here; MBS can react differently to interest rate changes depending on the kind of mortgages underlying them, the coupons they offer, and when the mortgages originated. We nevertheless lightened our positions in MBS as their valuations grew less attractive.

In the Short-Term Federal Fund, we overweighted agencies for the additional yield they can offer over Treasuries.

Shorter-than-benchmark durations boosted the funds’ relative performance by helping to cushion them from rising interest rates.

But, partly because of their yield curve positioning, the funds lagged their benchmarks by margins comparable to their expense ratios. To add value, we generally try to overweight or underweight certain segments of the curve in anticipation of where yields are headed. That proved more difficult than usual last year as volatility was high and market developments at times drove different segments of the curve in different directions.

Investment outlook
Our outlook hasn’t changed much over the past six months. We continue to expect U.S. gross domestic product to grow at an annual rate of between 2% and 2.5% in 2016 and the unemployment rate to stay within a range of 4.5%–5%. And although the price of oil has fallen further, core inflation (which excludes the volatile components of food and energy) should trend toward the Fed’s target of 2% as wage growth begins to pick up.

Monetary policy normalization got under way with the Fed’s rate hike in December. But policymakers are likely to pursue a

13


 

“dovish tightening,” meaning that subsequent increases are likely to be slow and gradual. We wouldn’t be surprised if the Fed funds target rate is still below 1% at the end of 2016. Such a gradual rise would be consistent with an economy consolidating the slow but steady growth of recent years.

Rising interest rates put bond investors at risk of short-term declines in principal. However, the good news for long-term investors is that higher rates will enable the funds to reinvest the proceeds from maturing securities at higher yields.

Because the Fed telegraphed its first rate hike in a decade well in advance, the markets took the news in stride. Volatility could pick up again, however, as speculation builds about the timing and pace of future increases. And unfortunately, global growth is set to remain frustratingly fragile, with additional “growth scares” expected until we see a convincing stabilization in China and sustained economic expansion in Europe.

We are cognizant of these risks, however, and will continue to position the funds accordingly.

For the GNMA Fund

Investor Shares of Vanguard GNMA

Fund returned 1.83% and Admiral Shares returned 1.93% for the 12 months ended January 31, 2016. The fund lagged its benchmark index but surpassed the average return of its peers.

Investment environment
Fixed income markets were volatile as investors grappled with growing divergences in economic growth and central bank policy. With an improving economic outlook in the United States, market participants agonized over the timing of the Federal Reserve’s first rate hike and potential market implications. Increased risk of a Greek exit from the euro zone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile, rebounding from record lows at the start of the year but falling again later in the period. An unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the Chinese economic slowdown and potential spillover effects.

Many major central banks eased monetary policy; some resorted to radical measures to counter falling inflation and stimulate growth. In the first half of the fiscal year, the European Central Bank launched an open-ended government bond-buying program. This prompted other central banks to act to stop their currencies from appreciating. China’s central bank entered into an aggressive monetary easing cycle to counter deflationary risks and slowing growth. Sub-trend growth and low


 

inflation kept the Bank of England on the sidelines while the Fed charted a course for policy normalization.

U.S. data highlighted some conflicting themes. The fragile global economy, a stronger dollar, and falling oil prices created challenges for the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, retail, service-based sectors, and domestically centered industries such as housing posted solid results. Low commodity prices suppressed headline inflation, but core consumer prices gradually started to move higher, giving the Fed confidence to raise rates in December. This marked an end to a seven-year period of near-zero interest rates. However, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) insisted that the pace of future hikes would be gradual and dependent on the direction of economic data. The FOMC achieved a smooth liftoff, judging by the market’s relatively muted reaction to the announcement.

The agency mortgage-backed-securities market returned 1.97%, as measured by the Barclays MBS Fixed Rate Index, underperforming duration-equivalent Treasuries by 35 basis points (as measured by Wellington). Overall, the mortgage market held up well, considering the volatility and macro events that occurred during the year. Spreads widened in the first half of the period because of market volatility and a rally in U.S. Treasury rates. This continued through the summer as the Greek crisis unfolded. In the fall, balance sheet pressure on securities dealers caused dollar-roll-financing rates to rise, which weighed on the sector. Throughout the year’s volatility, MBS traded in a fairly narrow band, partly because of healthy demand from U.S. banks, international investors, and the continuation of Fed reinvestments.

GNMA MBS returned 2.10% as measured by the Barclays GNMA Index, underper-forming duration-equivalent Treasuries by 27 basis points (as measured by Wellington) and outperforming conventional mortgages.

Fund shortfalls
The fund lagged its benchmark index during the period, mostly because of duration and yield curve positioning. Although it has been profitable over this cycle as a whole, the portfolio’s curve-flattening bias detracted during the first part of the year as the curve significantly steepened. An out-of-benchmark allocation to Fannie Mae multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing securities (DUS) also weighed slightly on relative results. DUS underperformed, primarily near the end of 2015, largely because bid/ask spreads widened as liquidity deteriorated. However, they actually did better than low-coupon GNMAs, which we think of as the best reference for DUS performance.

Fund successes
The fund had exposure to collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) funded from GNMAs (3.0% and 3.5% coupons). This positioning helped because lower-coupon GNMAs underperformed and CMOs beat GNMAs on a duration-equivalent basis. Security selection also helped, primarily through an overweight to higher-coupon GNMAs and specific exposures in current-coupon 30-year GNMAs.

Fund positioning
We expect relatively low volatility in MBS spreads over the short term. Since the Fed’s mid-December meeting, these spreads have narrowed back toward the tight end of their recent range. During the next few months, we expect to manage the basis within this range tactically by underweighting exposure toward the bottom (tight end) and adding as we approach the top (wide end).

The Fed has said it intends to continue reinvesting MBS principal payments until the normalization process is “well under way,” which is likely to extend at least well into 2016.

As the year progresses, we expect that Fed uncertainty, concerns over the tightening monetary policy, and higher rates will become sources of volatility that may pressure MBS spreads. These spreads will likely widen a bit once the Fed ceases reinvestment; this probably will be priced into the market well before the Fed announces the change. With spreads close to the tight end of the historical range, we are not convinced they can sustain these levels as the year progresses.

In agency pass-throughs, we are underweighted in the low- and middle-coupon segments. Low-coupon pass-through income can be replaced in other sectors with greater cash-flow stability, and middle-coupon GNMAs don’t appear to be fully pricing in their prepayment exposure should rates continue to fall. Apart from pass-throughs, we continue to seek assets with more stable duration profiles, such as Fannie Mae DUS bonds and CMOs. We are targeting a relatively neutral overall duration posture.

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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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 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 settlement values 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).

29


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

At January 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $755,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

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 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 Net Assets.

Short-Term Treasury 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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $624,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.25% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 7,324,283
Temporary Cash Investments 4,344
Liability for Options Written (261)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 272
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (915)
Total 3,440 7,324,283
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At January 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 1,935 423,039 655
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (1,693) (219,376) (1,404)

Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond March 2016 45 7,478 (25)
        (874)

 

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.

32


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $582,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

At January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $4,293,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,295,763,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $32,864,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $35,574,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,710,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $15,294,850,000 of investment securities and sold $15,323,306,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments.

Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

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.

See Note A in Notes to Financial Statements.
1 Securities with a value of $2,906,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.
2 U.S. government-guaranteed.
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 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.
5 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.
6 Includes securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for which the fund has not taken delivery as of January 31, 2016.
7 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain trusts and accounts managed by Vanguard. Rate shown is the 7-day yield.

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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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 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 settlement values 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).

46


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

At January 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $442,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

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 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 Net Assets.

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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

47


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $445,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.18% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,132,184
Temporary Cash Investments 213,359
Futures Contracts—Assets1 615
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (1,425)
Liability for Options Written (276)
Total 212,273 5,132,184
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At January 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 1,805 394,618 1,935
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (1,385) (179,466) (1,703)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond March 2016 (220) (35,427) (1,155)
Ultra Long Treasury Bond March 2016 78 12,963 200
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (42) (5,068) (3)
        (726)

 

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.

49


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $562,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,323,358,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $22,185,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $26,732,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,547,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $14,636,314,000 of investment securities and sold $14,602,551,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the year ended January 31, 2016.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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 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 settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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).

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

At January 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $620,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

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 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.

Intermediate-Term Treasury 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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $517,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.21% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 6,195,733
Temporary Cash Investments 30,817
Liability for Options Written (218)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 261
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (433)
Total 30,427 6,195,733
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At January 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 703 153,693 281
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (798) (103,403) (68)
Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond March 2016 90 14,957 320
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond March 2016 (42) (6,763) (87)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 54 6,516 (1)
        445

 

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.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $6,033,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $310,000 and $5,224,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,096,608,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $129,942,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $130,958,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,016,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $8,753,625,000 of investment securities and sold $8,453,873,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the year ended January 31, 2016.

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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values 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 Assets and Liabilities 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 year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under

82


 

GNMA Fund

delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

At January 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts cash and securities with a value of $3,498,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

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.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters 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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

83


 

GNMA 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

9. Other: 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. Wellington Management Company LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2016, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $2,248,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.90% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 25,471,781
Temporary Cash Investments 1,317,084 487,200
Futures Contracts—Assets1 499
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (2,588)
Total 1,314,995 25,958,981
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

E. At January 31, 2016, 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)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond March 2016 (2,629) (423,351) (6,964)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (456) (59,088) (41)
        (7,005)

 

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

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $4,780,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had short-term gains of $7,062,000 available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

GNMA Fund

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $26,719,462,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $556,603,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $616,905,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $60,302,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $177,399,027,000 of investment securities and sold $176,080,298,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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 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 settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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).

98


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

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 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.

Long-Term Treasury 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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $284,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.11% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 3,541,365
Temporary Cash Investments 14,348
Liability for Options Written (124)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 242
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (125)
Total 14,341 3,541,365
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At January 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 362 79,142 173
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (377) (45,493) (561)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (252) (32,654) (4)

30-Year U. S. Treasury Bond March 2016 (22) (3,543) 3
        (215)

 

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.

101


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $7,801,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had $2,228,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $1,624,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,241,791,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $313,922,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $316,416,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,494,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $4,003,231,000 of investment securities and sold $4,041,175,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the year ended January 31, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard GNMA Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets, statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard GNMA Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include 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 Treasury Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% 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 (184/365).

 


 

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). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For the federal and Treasury funds, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. For the GNMA Fund, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

108


 

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.

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 194 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,

Corporate bonds were out of favor with investors over much of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016. Prices of all bonds zigzagged lower in the first part of the period as the U.S. economy seemed to be getting back on track and deflationary fears receded. Although Treasury prices later regained some ground, corporate bond prices slipped further amid renewed concerns about global growth and another drop in commodity prices, which sapped demand for riskier assets.

Because price declines were steepest among longer-dated and lower-rated corporate bonds, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –6.33% for the period and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund –2.99%. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for Investor Shares.) More modest price declines in the other two funds were offset by the income their holdings produced, leaving their performances in positive territory: Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.03%, and Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.77%.

In terms of relative performance, the Intermediate-Term and High-Yield Funds significantly bested their benchmarks and the average returns of their peers. The Short-Term Fund also came in a step ahead of its comparable standards. The Long-Term Fund slightly lagged its benchmark and underperformed the average for its peer group, which does not specifically target long-dated securities.


 

With corporate bond prices falling, the 30-day SEC yields for the three investment grade funds rose by 45 to 59 basis points compared with a year earlier, ending the period at between 2.01% and 4.13%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) The 30-day SEC yield for the High-Yield Fund climbed even more, by 151 basis points, to 6.50%.

Before discussing the markets, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank L.T. Hill, a portfolio manager of the Long-Term Fund since 2008, for his contribution to its performance. L.T. will be retiring in June. Sole responsibility for Wellington Management Company’s portion of the fund will fall to Scott St. John, who currently co-manages the fund with L.T.

Bonds ended the period flat despite a strong finish
Although bonds surged in January, the broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –0.16% for the fiscal year. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note ended the period at 1.98%, up from 1.75% a year earlier. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)

Bonds languished earlier in the fiscal year, when stocks were on firmer ground and many thought the Federal Reserve would raise short-term interest rates sooner rather than later. Market turmoil in January, however, seemed to remind investors of bonds’ appeal as both a diversifier and ballast for a portfolio.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned –3.78%, hurt by the U.S. dollar’s strength against many foreign currencies. Without this currency effect, returns were modestly positive.

Money market funds and savings accounts generated scant returns as the Fed’s long-running rate target of 0%–0.25% persisted through much of the period. In December, the Fed raised its target to 0.25%–0.5%.

Stocks changed direction as global concerns grew
The broad U.S. stock market returned –2.48% for the 12 months. Stocks deteriorated after a solid first half as investors grew more concerned that China’s slower economic growth would spread globally. Oil and commodity prices continued to fall, hurting producers but favoring consumers.

The Fed’s rate increase ended months of uncertainty. Central banks in Europe and Asia moved in the opposite direction, adding to their stimulus measures to combat weak growth and low inflation.

The dollar’s strength also weighed on international stocks, which returned about –11%. Although emerging markets slipped the most, stocks from the developed markets of the Pacific region and Europe also posted negative results.

Rising rates and a lower appetite for risk served as downdrafts
As the Fed wound down its third round of stimulative bond-buying toward the end of 2014, speculation turned to when it might begin to raise short-term rates. Prospects for growth and inflation improved in the first part of 2015, bolstering the Fed’s case and pushing rates higher across the maturity spectrum.

The picture grew more clouded, though, as the year went on, amid concerns including Greece’s debt crisis, China’s slowdown, and commodity price drops. These developments rekindled some demand for Treasuries but further dampened investor interest in lower-quality corporate bonds.

Although higher interest rates should benefit buy-and-hold bond investors over the long term, their rise over the 12 months pushed bond prices down, especially for longer-dated securities, which are more sensitive to rate movements. This is reflected in capital returns of roughly –10% for the Long-Term Fund and –8% for the High-Yield Fund. In contrast, capital returns cut about 3% off the return of the Intermediate-Term Fund and about 1% off that of the Short-Term Fund. (You can find the capital and income returns, which together make up your fund’s total returns, on page 1.)

Versus their benchmarks, the Short-and Intermediate-Term Funds’ shorter durations were a positive. (Duration is a gauge of a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) Asset-backed securities and Treasuries, which the advisor holds for diversification and liquidity purposes, outperformed corporates over the period, helping results. Underweighting BBB-rated securities proved a good call as well.

An underweighting of the energy sector added to relative returns in all four funds as the low price of oil weighed on energy companies’ credit profiles.

On the other side of the ledger, the Long-Term Fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to BBB-rated securities detracted, as did the High-Yield Fund’s holding less than its custom benchmark’s 5% allocation to Treasuries.

Rigorous credit analysis underpinned ten-year returns
Investing in corporate bonds means you’re taking on more risk than you would with “risk-free” Treasuries in exchange for higher yields. Over the past decade, credit analysis by the funds’ advisors, Vanguard Fixed Income Group and Wellington Management Company, has helped them identify opportunities among the thousands of corporate bonds in the market for which risk is well-compensated. That, along with low expenses, helped produce average annual returns ranging from 3.49% for the Short-Term Fund to 6.73% for the Long-Term Fund for the ten years through January 31, 2016.

Those results were 1 to 2.5 percentage points higher than the average for the funds’ peer groups—not an easy feat in the world of fixed income investing. Relative to their benchmarks, the Long-Term Fund came out ahead, while the three other funds lagged.

Vanguard’s outlook for investors: Not bearish, but cautious
 
In Vanguard’s recently published global economic and investment outlook, Global Chief Economist Joseph Davis and his team discuss various market and economic events 2016 may bring, along with challenges and opportunities for investors.
 
Our forecast includes “frustratingly fragile” economic growth and more modest long-term returns from the global stock and bond markets. The report cautions that for the decade ending 2025, returns for a balanced portfolio are likely to be moderately below historical averages.
 
Our simulations indicate that the average annualized returns of a 60% equity/40% bond portfolio for the decade are most likely to be centered in the 3%–5% range after inflation, below the actual average after-inflation return of 5.5% for the same portfolio since 1926.
 
Even so, Vanguard’s steadfast belief in its principles for investing success—focusing on clear goals, a suitable asset allocation, low costs, and long-term discipline—remains unchanged.

To reach your long-term goals, be realistic and try to save more
Although there have been times when it felt as if stocks and bonds were riding a roller coaster, the markets have generally risen in recent years. The broad global stock market in particular has posted some impressive gains since its turnaround began in 2009.

But 2015 and, especially, the start of 2016 brought stark reminders that investments can disappoint. The U.S. stock and bond markets were barely positive in 2015, and international stocks and unhedged bonds finished in the red. In January 2016, many stock markets fell into or near bear-market territory. (Generally, a decline of 20% or more lasting at least two months qualifies as a bear market.)

In Vanguard’s recently updated long-term look at the economy and markets, our global economists explain why they expect growth to remain “frustratingly fragile” and why their market outlook is the most guarded since 2006. (For more details, see the box on page 7 and Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, available at vanguard.com/ research.)

Given these muted expectations, what’s the best course of action? I’ve often encouraged shareholders to focus on the things they can control. That advice holds true today.

Consider saving more than you think you may need. That’s one way you can prepare for the volatility that may lie

IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by the Vanguard Capital Markets Model (VCMM) regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. VCMM results will vary with each use and over time.

The VCMM projections are based on a statistical analysis of historical data. Future returns may behave differently from the historical patterns captured in the VCMM. More important, the VCMM may be underestimating extreme negative scenarios unobserved in the historical period on which the model estimation is based.

The VCMM is a proprietary financial simulation tool developed and maintained by Vanguard’s primary investment research and advice teams. The model forecasts distributions of future returns for a wide array of broad asset classes. Those asset classes include U.S. and international equity markets, several maturities of the U.S. Treasury and corporate fixed income markets, international fixed income markets, U.S. money markets, commodities, and certain alternative investment strategies. The theoretical and empirical foundation for the VCMM is that the returns of various asset classes reflect the compensation investors require for bearing different types of systematic risk (beta). At the core of the model are estimates of the dynamic statistical relationship between risk factors and asset returns, obtained from statistical analysis based on available monthly financial and economic data from as early as 1960. Using a system of estimated equations, the model then applies a Monte Carlo simulation method to project the estimated interrelationships among risk factors and asset classes as well as uncertainty and randomness over time. The model generates a large set of simulated outcomes for each asset class over several time horizons. Forecasts are obtained by computing measures of central tendency in these simulations. Results produced by the tool will vary with each use and over time.

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Fixed Income Group

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

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2016, Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.77% for Investor Shares, 0.87% for Admiral Shares, and 0.90% for Institutional Shares, outpacing its benchmark. Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.03% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral Shares, exceeding its negative benchmark result. After advancing about 20% the previous fiscal year, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund came in a step behind its benchmark this time, returning –6.33% for Investor Shares and –6.23% for Admiral Shares. (We manage about 10% of the Long-Term Fund’s assets. The Short- and Intermediate-Term Funds came in ahead of the average returns of their peer groups, but the Long-Term Fund lagged.

The investment environment
During most of calendar year 2015, investors kept a watchful eye on U.S. economic indicators, seeking clues to when the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates for the first time since 2006. Shortly after the answer came in mid-December, speculation turned to when the next increase would occur.

While investors awaited the Fed’s first tightening move, many other central banks, including the People’s Bank of China, pursued monetary easing. The European Central Bank (ECB) began a major bond-buying program last March that, along with other steps, helped push yields on many European sovereign bonds into negative territory. In January 2016, the Bank of Japan announced negative interest rates for certain bank deposits, joining the likes of the euro zone, Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland.

Several other global developments also held investors’ attention. Prices of oil and other commodities kept falling, especially late in the period, signaling an end to the commodity supercycle we’ve been experiencing. Greece negotiated another bailout after teetering again on the brink of leaving the euro zone. And fears mounted of a hard landing for China (which India appears to have overtaken as the world’s fastest-growing economy).

Closer to home, after a weak start, U.S. economic growth rebounded in the second and third calendar quarters of 2015. But it was anemic again in the fourth, growing 1.0% on an inflation-adjusted, annualized basis. Still, the U.S. economy’s growth rate topping 2% for 2015 as a whole made it one of the “best houses on the block.” Inflation, however, remained worryingly low and significantly short of the Fed’s long-term target of 2%, raising questions about when the Fed might deem the economy ready for another rate increase.

As for investor appetite, the period was mostly one of “risk off.” At the same time, issuance hit another record high, partly reflecting the breakneck pace of mergers and acquisitions pushing up corporate leverage.

Given that supply/demand backdrop, the spread in yields between corporate investment-grade bonds and Treasuries widened. They started the fiscal year at 136 basis points, but with the spread for energy sector bonds more than doubling as the price of oil continued to slide, the spread for corporate investment-grade bonds as a whole finished at 193 basis points. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Management of the funds
All three funds had slightly shorter durations than their benchmarks, giving them some cushion from the rise in interest rates. For liquidity and diversification, they also had an allocation to U.S. Treasuries. Although this conservative positioning can drag on performance when rates are falling or when riskier assets are in favor, it helped the funds relative to their benchmarks over the 12 months.

Among sectors, favoring financials over industrials was a positive. Bonds issued by financial institutions held up relatively well as regulatory changes have led to stronger balance sheets overall in that sector. Industrials, on the other hand, underperformed as companies took on more debt to carry out mergers and acquisitions, and the energy sector’s credit profile was hurt by the price collapse in oil.

We added value to the Short- and Intermediate-Term Funds through out-of-benchmark allocations to asset-backed securities—that is, securities typically backed by auto loans, student loans, and credit-card debt. They were one of the best-performing segments of the broad taxable U.S. bond market over the period. Our tilt away from BBB bonds also worked out as investors shied away from these securities rated just above junk status.

BBB-rated bonds in our portion of the Long-Term Fund, however, hurt performance relative to the fund’s benchmark, which consists of bonds rated A and above. On the other hand, our holdings in taxable municipal bonds, which are also not part of the benchmark, helped.

12


 

In all three portfolios, our holdings in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, although small, aided performance. Those holdings were possible because of our increasing global presence. We have credit analysts who look for corporate debt opportunities outside the United States and have the ability to efficiently execute trades on the ideas they generate. We also have the hedging capability to mitigate the currency risk associated with investing in bonds not denominated in dollars.

Outlook
As noted in the latest edition of Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, we expect real U.S. GDP growth to move this calendar year toward its long-term trend of about 2%. This base-case expectation considers possible upsides coming from housing, consumer and business confidence, the service sector, and the labor market; it also considers possible downsides associated with manufacturing and trade, which have experienced a drag from the strong U.S. dollar.

The continued decline in oil prices in 2015, and again early this year, has been driven primarily by increased supply. Vanguard’s research shows that large supply-driven decreases in oil prices can benefit the U.S. economy because they act as a “tax cut” for consumers—even after accounting for additional savings by consumers and the negative effects on energy-sector capital investment.

In recent months, we’ve seen significant moves in Treasury yields—sometimes on a daily basis—in response to such developments as Fed policy statements, oil price changes, and foreign central bank policies (particularly, Japan’s surprise move to set negative interest rates). Volatility in U.S. interest rates, and hence in bond prices, is likely to remain elevated. That said, we continue to expect that the U.S. economy’s relative strength will help set a floor on rates and that global conditions—including the strong dollar and potentially more stimulus from Japan and the ECB—should serve as a cap.

Based on the Fed’s recent statements that it is closely monitoring global economic and financial developments, a rate increase in March appears less likely than it did in December. Regardless of the timing, we anticipate that increases will be gradual.

In managing the funds, we expect to maintain a high level of liquidity by holding bonds we can sell easily without affecting the funds’ core positioning. That stance should serve us well should we see an increase in shareholder redemptions or find price dislocations that give us buying opportunities.

For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

As mentioned above, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned –6.33% for Investor Shares and –6.23% for Admiral Shares. Those results were below the –6.18% return of its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index, and its average peer return of –2.56%. The portion of the Long-Term Fund that we manage (“the portfolio”) invests primarily in corporate bonds with 10 to 30 years until maturity. The portfolio’s returns are influenced by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions that affect the credit-worthiness of corporate bond issuers.

Investment environment
Fixed income markets were volatile over the 12 months as investors grappled with increasingly divergent economic growth and central bank policy. With the U.S. economic outlook improving compared with the rest of the world, market participants agonized over the timing of the Federal Reserve Bank’s first interest rate increase and potential market implications.

An increased risk that Greece might exit the euro zone and a prolonged drop in commodity prices further muddied the picture. Oil prices were extremely volatile, rebounding from record lows at the start of 2015 only to fall again in the third and fourth quarters. An unexpected devaluation in China’s currency rattled global financial markets, deepening fears about the slowdown in that country and its potential spillover effects.

Many major central banks eased monetary policy, with some resorting to radical measures to counter falling inflation and stimulate growth. In the first half of the period, the European Central Bank launched an open-ended government bond-buying program; that prompted other central banks to act to stop their currencies from appreciating. China’s central bank entered into an aggressive monetary easing cycle to counter deflationary risks and the slowing growth. Below-trend growth and low inflation kept the Bank of England on the sidelines, while the Fed charted a course for normalizing policy.

Growth in the major developed markets stabilized in 2015, while emerging-market growth languished, held back by a slowdown in Asia. Economic data in the euro zone improved and broadened across countries, but inflationary pressures were nonexistent. The United Kingdom and Japan showed little sign of reflationary pressures despite continued strength in their labor markets.

In the United States, data releases highlighted some conflicting themes affecting the economy. The fragile global economy, a stronger U.S. dollar, and falling oil prices impeded the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, domestically centered industries such as housing, retail, and service-based sectors posted solid results. Low commodity prices suppressed headline inflation, but core consumer prices started gradually moving higher, giving the Fed the confidence to raise rates in December. This widely anticipated rate increase ended seven

14


 

years of near-zero short-term interest rates, though the Fed insisted that the pace of increases would be gradual and dependent on the direction of economic data. The Fed seemingly achieved a smooth liftoff, judging by the market’s relatively muted reaction.

Although U.S. Treasuries eked out positive absolute returns for the fiscal year, corporate bonds generated negative total returns, with coupon income in most sectors unable to offset the impact of rising interest rates and widening spreads over the volatile period.

The portfolio’s shortfalls
Selection within capital goods and electric bonds weighed on relative results. So did an overweight allocation to banking issuers, as well as the portfolio’s duration and yield curve positioning.

The portfolio’s successes
Security selection among bonds issued by finance companies aided relative results. An underweighting of basic industry and energy issuers was also beneficial.

Outlook
We are balancing a positive view of U.S. growth trends and attractive valuations with increasing concerns about central bank actions, China’s slowdown, and weak commodity prices, leading us to a slightly overweight allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds.

The U.S. economy remains on a positive growth trajectory, and we are projecting GDP growth of 1.9% for calendar year 2016. The labor market should further improve, and the Fed is expected to embark on a gradual pace of tightening, as inflation remains low.

Emerging markets have begun a downgrade cycle because of lower commodity prices. The ECB and Bank of Japan are focused on disinflationary pressures in their economies and are likely to maintain their accommodative monetary policies, while China is combating a slowdown. These factors pose threats to the stability of the U.S. recovery.

Looking at fundamentals, corporate earnings could remain under pressure from the strong U.S. dollar. Credit fundamentals are trending down for investment-grade companies, and the outstanding stock of debt continues to increase. Mergers and acquisitions and other shareholder-friendly activities are expected to remain elevated. Default rates are likely to increase in commodity-related sectors, including in energy and in metals and mining.

Corporate bond market liquidity remains challenging, exacerbated by a larger share of corporate bonds being held among buy-side investors than by dealers. We think the pace of new issuance will remain elevated in the first half of 2016 to fund merger and acquisition transactions, but it is likely to slow in the second half. Current valuations are attractive based on long-term investment horizons.

15


 

The timing, pace, and magnitude of an upturn in interest rates will determine how fixed income markets perform and may well contribute to negative total returns in future periods. However, many of the forces that kept yields low in recent years (accommodative monetary policies, subdued inflation, and global recession fears) persist.

The portfolio‘s position in long-term investment-grade bonds should contribute to income stability. The major risks are, of course, rising long-term rates, a widening in corporate bond risk premiums, or both.

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2016, the fund returned –2.99% for Investor Shares, outperforming the return of –4.45% for the benchmark composite index, which consists of 95% Barclays U.S. High-Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Index and 5% Barclays U.S. 1–5 Year Treasury Bond Index. The fund’s decline was primarily due to weakness in commodity prices, namely in energy. The interest rate and credit environments also influenced returns in the high-yield market.

The investment environment
Monetary policy was accommodative for most of the period, but the Federal Reserve in December initiated its first interest rate increase since 2006. U.S. Treasury yields across the maturity spectrum ended the period higher than they started. The 10-year Treasury yield, for example, ended at 1.98%, up from 1.75% a year earlier. Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, bond prices declined. The rise in Treasury yields most affected longer-duration and interest rate-sensitive fixed income assets.

In addition, credit-sensitive sectors, including the high-yield market, generally underperformed. Although economic data in the United States and Europe continued to improve, China and emerging-market growth indicators weakened, and commodity prices significantly declined; that led corporate credit spreads to widen, resulting in negative capital returns that offset coupon income.

Performances notably diverged by credit quality. High-yield investors favored bonds of relatively higher quality, concerned that declining commodity prices could slow global growth. BB-rated bonds performed best, returning –3.15%, as measured by Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index data. Caa-rated bonds experienced more severe spread widening and returned –15.02%; B-rated bonds returned –6.66%. The spread of the high-yield market widened to 734 basis points over Treasuries as of

16


 

January 31, 2016, from 509 basis points a year earlier. The average price of high-yield bonds declined $12, to $87.

Overall, corporate fundamentals and debt levels at most companies have remained stable. We expect continued steady U.S. GDP growth in 2016 and believe that most high-yield companies can sustain solid credit profiles in that environment. Therefore, we see the economic backdrop for the high-yield market as generally supportive, but we’re closely monitoring factors that could trigger commodity-related stress that could spread to the broader market. Such factors include the potential impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar on the industrial economy and the potential for a contraction in credit availability, especially to the riskiest borrowers.

Although we expect default rates to increase through 2016, we believe that defaults are likely to stay concentrated in the energy and metals and mining sectors. Defaults so far have remained manageable. Moody’s trailing 12-month global speculative-grade default rate ended December at 3.2%, still below the long-term average of 3.9%. Given this outlook, we are seeking to take advantage of recent dislocations created by the sell-off in non-energy companies, where wider spreads are attractive and the credits are well-supported by strong fundamentals.

The fund’s successes
The fund benefited from an underweight allocation to, and positive credit selection in, the energy sector. Overweight exposure to, and selection in, technology also helped.

The fund’s shortfalls
Security selection in metals and mining and utilities detracted from relative returns, as did an underweight allocation to the food and beverage sector. An underweight allocation to Treasury securities also weighed on relative returns, as they outperformed high-yield bonds.

The fund’s positioning
The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a significant exposure to relatively higher-quality names in the high-yield market. We believe that these credits have more consistent businesses and more predictable cash flows than those of lower quality. We prefer higher-quality credits in an effort to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry and to 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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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. 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

3. 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

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 settlement values 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 year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency 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.

40


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets 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 forward currency 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.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests 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 enters 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 fund invests in cross-currency swaps to hedge the currency risk associated with investing in foreign securities. Under the terms of the swaps, the parties exchange a series of payments calculated on the basis of a fixed rate applied to a notional amount, on specified dates and in a specified currency. Additionally, currency amounts are exchanged by the counterparties at the initiation of the contract, with an agreement to reverse the exchange of the currency amounts upon termination of the contract.

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 in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations 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

41


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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 prequalified 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 enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified 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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of interest rate swaps represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of cross currency swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

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, 2013–2016), 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.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

8. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

9. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $4,608,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.84% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

At January 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $30,830,000 in connection with open swap contracts and forward currency 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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund recorded an adjustment as a result of permanent differences related to foreign currency gains and losses, primarily on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds. Such adjustment represents a reclassification of $20,107,000 from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $3,914,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $164,627,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $52,801,637,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $131,496,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $328,356,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $459,852,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

Financial Statements

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary
As of January 31, 2016

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by asset type. Details are reported for each of the fund’s 50 largest individual holdings and for investments that, in total for any issuer, represent more than 1% of the fund’s net assets. The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund reports a complete list of its holdings in regulatory filings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the complete listing of the fund’s holdings is available electronically on vanguard.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (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).

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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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. 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 at their values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

3. 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

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 settlement values 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 year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency 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.

70


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets 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 forward currency 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.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests 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 enters 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 fund invests in cross-currency swaps to hedge the currency risk associated with investing in foreign securities. Under the terms of the swaps, the parties exchange a series of payments calculated on the basis of a fixed rate applied to a notional amount, on specified dates and in a specified currency. Additionally, currency amounts are exchanged by the counterparties at the initiation of the contract, with an agreement to reverse the exchange of the currency amounts upon termination of the contract.

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 in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations 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 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 prequalified 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 enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified 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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in cross currency swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

72


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

9. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,830,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.73% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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.

At January 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $9,182,000 in connection with open swap contracts and forward currency contracts.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $12,875,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $2,022,000, (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

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/losses of $9,753,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $3,360,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $21,255,974,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $143,461,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $394,958,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $251,497,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $10,823,105,000 of investment securities and sold $7,798,263,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments.

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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

3. 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

99


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 settlement values 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 year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Net Assets 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency 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 assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral

100


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency 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.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests 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 enters 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 in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations 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

101


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

default on its obligation to pay net 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 prequalified 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 enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified 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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 13% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

6. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters 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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

7. 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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

102


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

8. 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.

9. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

10. Other: 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. Wellington Management Company llp provides investment advisory services to a portion of the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor.

The Vanguard Group provides investment advisory services to a portion of the fund on an at-cost basis; the fund paid Vanguard advisory fees of $1,573,000 for the year ended January 31, 2016.

For the year ended January 31, 2016, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

103


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,209,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.48% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $279,000, (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $21,836,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $18,912,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund realized $67,303,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had long-term capital gains of $36,209,000 available for distribution.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,743,092,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $908,711,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,108,591,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $199,880,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $4,182,125,000 of investment securities and sold $5,575,115,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $856,502,000 and $753,487,000, respectively. Total purchases and sales include $24,987,000 and $841,395,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody's, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

3. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only

125


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

with a diverse group of prequalified 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency 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 assets 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 forward currency 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.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Swap Contracts: The fund invests 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 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 in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations 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 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 prequalified 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 enters into centrally cleared credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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.

To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified 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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters 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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

B. Wellington Management Company LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2016, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

High-Yield Corporate Fund

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,485,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.59% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

1 High Yield Credit Default Swap Index—Version 25.          

 

The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if the reference entity was subject to a credit event.

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.

During the year ended January 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $1,445,000 (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts), which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $11,700,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $1,576,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

Capital gains required to be distributed in December 2015 included gains realized through October 31, 2015; subsequently, the fund realized losses of $264,193,000, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in 2017.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $17,592,814,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,034,179,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $215,100,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,249,279,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include 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, 0.21% for Investor Shares, 0.11% for Admiral Shares, and 0.08% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% 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, 0.24% for Investor Shares and 0.14% 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 (184/365).

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). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For the three investment-grade funds, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. For the High-Yield Corporate Fund, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

137


 

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.

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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

From its inception on February 24, 2015, through January 31, 2016, Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.44% for Investor Shares and 0.51% for Admiral Shares. That performance was in line with its benchmark index, which, like all indexes, incurs no expenses. The average return of peer funds was just below zero.

In its partial first year, your fund accomplished what it set out to do: It gave investors a modest pickup in yield compared with money market funds, without taking on as much additional interest rate risk as short- and longer-term bond funds.

The fund’s 30-day SEC yield at the end of the period was 0.83% for Investor Shares and 0.94% for Admiral Shares, up from 0.59% and 0.67% six months ago.

This report includes a brief look at the financial markets during the full 12 months of the fiscal year ended January 31, followed by a review of the fund’s performance since its inception.

Yields moved up and down to produce a nearly flat year
In December, the Federal Reserve ended months of uncertainty when it raised its target for short-term interest rates to 0.25%–0.5%. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Asia continued to move in the opposite direction by increasing their stimulus measures to combat weak growth and low inflation.

Although bonds surged in January, the broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –0.16% for the 12 months. Bonds languished at times earlier in the period, when stocks were on firmer ground and many thought that the interest rate hike would come sooner rather than later. Market turmoil in January seemed to remind investors of bonds’ appeal as both a diversifier and ballast for a portfolio.

After many ups and downs, the yield of the 10-year Treasury note ended January at 1.98%, up from 1.75% a year earlier. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Interest rates on short-term Treasuries also rose, anticipating the Fed’s move.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned –3.78%, hurt by the U.S. dollar’s strength against many foreign currencies. Without this currency effect, returns were modestly positive.

Money market funds and savings accounts generated scant returns as the Fed kept its target for short-term interest rates at 0%–0.25% until December.

Stocks changed direction as global concerns grew
The broad U.S. stock market returned about –2% for the fiscal year. Stocks deteriorated after a solid first half as investors grew more concerned that

China’s slower economic growth would spread globally. Oil and commodity prices continued to fall, a trend that hurts producers but favors consumers. A global selloff in January ended the year on a down note.

International stocks, which returned about –11%, were hindered by the U.S. dollar’s strength. Although emerging markets suffered the most, stocks from the developed markets of the Pacific region and Europe also posted negative results.

The fund provides another option for meeting near-term spending needs
The investment objective of the Ultra-Short- Term Bond Fund is to provide current income while maintaining limited price volatility. Your fund’s advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, seeks to achieve this by investing in money market instruments and short-term high-quality bonds from various sectors of the fixed income market. We launched this fund to help investors who seek to align their investments with their near-term spending horizon (for example, to meet their anticipated expenses for the next year or two).

Your fund holds a broadly diversified portfolio of more than 600 securities, including asset-backed and corporate bonds. It’s actively managed to have a duration of about one year, as its benchmark does. (Duration measures the sensitivity of bond, and bond mutual fund, prices to interest rate movements.)

However, the benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bellwethers: 1 Year Index, consists of a single bond—the most recently issued 1-year Treasury. As such, the index provides a frame of reference to evaluate the performance of bonds with a 1-year duration.

In the roughly 11 months since the fund’s inception, the advisor’s selections among asset-backed securities, especially bonds backed by automobile loans, contributed significantly to its total return. Bonds issued by banks also performed well. As with Vanguard’s other active bond funds, the expertise of our experienced team of credit analysts is an integral part of the process of managing this fund.

Your fund is off to a good start in meeting its objective. But, as always, we encourage you to evaluate results over a longer period.

For more discussion of the management and performance of the fund, please see the Advisor’s Report that follows this letter.

Vanguard’s outlook for investors: Not bearish, but cautious
 
In Vanguard’s recently published global economic and investment outlook, Global Chief Economist Joseph Davis and his team discuss various market and economic events 2016 may bring, along with challenges and opportunities for investors.
 
Our forecast includes “frustratingly fragile” economic growth and more modest long-term returns from the global stock and bond markets. The report cautions that for the decade ending 2025, returns for a balanced portfolio are likely to be moderately below historical averages.
 
Our simulations indicate that the average annualized returns of a 60% equity/40% bond portfolio for the decade are most likely to be centered in the 3%–5% range after inflation, below the actual average after-inflation return of 5.5% for the same portfolio since 1926.
 
Even so, Vanguard’s steadfast belief in its principles for investing success—focusing on clear goals, a suitable asset allocation, low costs, and long-term discipline—remains unchanged.
 
For more information about our expectations and the probability of various outcomes, see Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, available at vanguard.com/research.

To reach your long-term goals, be realistic and try to save more
Although there have been times when it felt as if stocks and bonds were riding a roller coaster, the markets have generally risen in recent years. The broad global stock market in particular has posted some impressive gains since its turnaround began in 2009.

But 2015—and especially the start of 2016—were stark reminders that investments can disappoint. The U.S. stock and bond markets were barely positive in 2015, and international stocks and unhedged bonds finished in the red. In January 2016, many stock markets fell into or near bear-market territory. (A decline of 20% or more lasting at least two months generally qualifies as a bear market.)

In Vanguard’s recently updated long-term look at the economy and markets, our global economists explain why they expect growth to remain “frustratingly fragile” and why their market outlook is the most guarded since 2006. (For more details, see the box on page 5 and Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, available at vanguard.com/research.)

Given these muted expectations, what’s the best course of action? I’ve often encouraged shareholders to focus on the things they can control. That advice holds true today.

Consider saving more than you think you may need. That’s one way you can prepare for the volatility that may lie ahead, particularly as markets adjust to changes in policies from the Fed and other central banks.

IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by the Vanguard Capital Markets Model (VCMM) regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. VCMM results will vary with each use and over time.

The VCMM projections are based on a statistical analysis of historical data. Future returns may behave differently from the historical patterns captured in the VCMM. More important, the VCMM may be underestimating extreme negative scenarios unobserved in the historical period on which the model estimation is based.

The VCMM is a proprietary financial simulation tool developed and maintained by Vanguard’s primary investment research and advice teams. The model forecasts distributions of future returns for a wide array of broad asset classes. Those asset classes include U.S. and international equity markets, several maturities of the U.S. Treasury and corporate fixed income markets, international fixed income markets, U.S. money markets, commodities, and certain alternative investment strategies. The theoretical and empirical foundation for the VCMM is that the returns of various asset classes reflect the compensation investors require for bearing different types of systematic risk (beta). At the core of the model are estimates of the dynamic statistical relationship between risk factors and asset returns, obtained from statistical analysis based on available monthly financial and economic data from as early as 1960. Using a system of estimated equations, the model then applies a Monte Carlo simulation method to project the estimated interrelationships among risk factors and asset classes as well as uncertainty and randomness over time. The model generates a large set of simulated outcomes for each asset class over several time horizons. Forecasts are obtained by computing measures of central tendency in these simulations. Results produced by the tool will vary with each use and over time.

As always, investors would be well-served to follow Vanguard’s principles for investing success:

• Goals. Create clear, appropriate investment goals.

• Balance. Develop a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds.

• Cost. Minimize cost.

• Discipline. Maintain perspective and long-term discipline.

Each of these principles—along with saving more—is within your control, and focusing on them can keep you on the right path.

Thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

In the roughly 11 months from its inception through January 31, 2016, Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.44% for Investor Shares and 0.51% for Admiral Shares. Its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bellwethers: 1 Year Index, which consists of a single 1-year Treasury note, returned 0.48%. The average return of peer funds was just below zero.

The investment environment
During most of 2015, investors kept a watchful eye on U.S. economic indicators, seeking clues as to when the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. As soon as the answer was revealed in mid-December, speculation turned to when the next increase would occur.

While investors awaited the Fed’s first tightening move, many other central banks, including the People’s Bank of China, pursued monetary easing during 2015. The European Central Bank (ECB) began a major bond-buying program in March that, along with other steps, helped push yields on many European sovereign bonds into negative territory. After the Fed’s action, some other central banks also raised rates, but policy divergence continued. In January 2016, the Bank of Japan announced negative interest rates for certain bank deposits, for the first time in Japan’s history. And the ECB strongly hinted it would pursue more stimulus this year.

Several other global developments also held investors’ attention. Prices of oil and other commodities kept falling, especially late in the period, signaling an end to the commodity super-cycle we’ve been experiencing. Greece negotiated another bailout after teetering again on the brink of leaving the euro zone. And fears mounted of a hard landing for China (which appears to have been overtaken by India as the world’s fastest-growing economy).

Closer to home, after a weak start, U.S. economic growth rebounded in the second and third calendar quarters of 2015 but slowed in the fourth, with a 1% growth rate. Still, with an annual growth rate of more than 2% in 2015, the U.S. economy stands out as one of the “best houses on the block.” Inflation, however, remained worryingly low—well below the Fed’s long-term target of 2%—raising questions about when the Fed might deem the economy ready for another increase.

In terms of investor appetite, the period was one of “risk off.” The yield spreads of many corporate bonds relative to comparable-maturity Treasuries generally widened. The high-yield market in particular was hit hard by the energy sector’s downturn.

Treasury bonds often provided a safe haven from stock market volatility and other concerns. This was evident in January, when the U.S. and many other stock markets fell into bear-market territory—marking one of the worst-ever Januarys for stocks. The yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped in January from 2.30% to 1.98%; it began the fiscal year at 1.75%. Interest rates rose a bit more at the shorter end of the

yield curve: The 3-month Treasury yield increased over the fiscal year from 0.01% to 0.33%, while the 1-year Treasury closed at 0.45%, up from 0.14%.

Management of the fund
Since we launched this fund almost a year ago, it has become an integral part of Vanguard’s suite of actively managed taxable bond funds. We manage it using the same broad investment philosophy and processes as the other funds in our lineup.

The team that supports your fund includes not only portfolio managers but also bond traders, risk managers, and credit analysts. For example, the expertise of our traders helps us execute trades efficiently and cost-effectively. Input from our credit analysts helps us select among securities that may seem to have similar characteristics. And with greater globalization at Vanguard, a growing number of team members are located in London and Australia, not just in the United States. This gives us round-the-clock trading capability and an ear to the ground in international markets that informs our decision-making.

What differentiates the Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund from our other active bond funds is its slightly more conservative tilt, consistent with its investment objective of providing current income while maintaining limited price volatility. The majority of the fund’s holdings have an expected maturity of not longer than three years, and we generally plan to hold them until they mature. (Note that some securities in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets, such as asset-backed bonds, have stated maturities in 2020 and beyond but are expected to be paid off sooner.) We manage the fund to maintain its duration at a policy-neutral level of approximately one year, matching its benchmark. (Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of bond, and bond mutual fund, prices to changes in interest rates.) The duration of the fund and its benchmark was 0.9 years at the end of January.

We invest in a diversified mix of Treasury, agency, corporate, asset-backed, and other bonds in the fund. Our portfolio management decisions regarding the appropriate allocations among bond-market sectors can result in over- or underperformance when compared with the fund’s Treasury benchmark.

For the partial fiscal year, we added value with our selection of asset-backed securities (ABS), particularly those backed by automobile loans. ABS constituted the largest sector in the fund, at nearly 30% of total assets at the end of January. These securities provide an important source of diversification for your fund, and they were one of the best-performing segments of the broad taxable U.S. bond market for the period. As a group, ABS contributed more than half of the fund’s total return. And although it was a challenging year for many corporate credits, we added value through our selection of bonds issued by banks.

A look ahead
As noted in the recently released Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, real U.S. GDP is expected to converge toward its long-term growth trend of about 2% in 2016. This base-case expectation considers possible upsides coming from housing, consumer and business confidence, the service sector, and the labor market, as well as possible downsides associated with manufacturing and trade, in part because of the drag associated with the stronger U.S. dollar.

The continued decline in oil prices in 2015, and their further drop early this year, has been driven primarily by increased supply. Vanguard’s research shows that large supply-driven decreases in oil prices can benefit the U.S. economy because they act as a “tax cut” for consumers—even after accounting for additional savings by consumers and the negative effects on energy-sector capital investment. Currently, our expectation for 2016 growth remains unchanged.

In recent months, we’ve seen significant moves in Treasury yields—sometimes on a daily basis—in response to Fed policy statements, oil price changes, and foreign central bank policy (particularly, Japan’s surprise move to set negative interest rates), among other factors. As we noted

in our semiannual report, U.S. interest rates and, hence, bond prices, are likely to remain volatile. We continue to expect that the U.S. economy’s relative strength will help to set a floor on rates and that global conditions—including the strong dollar and potential additional stimulus from Japan and the European Central Bank—should serve as a cap. Based on the Fed’s recent statements that it is closely monitoring global economic and financial developments, a rate hike in March appears less likely than it did in December. Regardless of the timing, we expect increases to be gradual.

In managing the fund, we expect to continue to maintain a high level of liquidity through our holdings of Treasury and agency securities and a variety of money market instruments. This is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and with Vanguard’s current overall positioning of its actively managed bond funds.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

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.

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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 clearing-house, 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 settlement values 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 January 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

34


 

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended January 31, 2016, 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

6. Other: 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $42,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 January 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 103,080
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 156,444 2,000
Corporate Bonds 139,380
Sovereign Bonds 9,239
Taxable Municipal Bonds 254
Temporary Cash Investments 99,418
Futures Contracts—Assets1 2
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (44)
Total 99,376 408,397 2,000
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At January 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (114) (24,923) (58)
Eurodollar Futures March 2016 98 24,347 12
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2016 (10) (1,207) (4)
        (50)

 

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

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had $94,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $111,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $510,163,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $348,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $299,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $647,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the period ended January 31, 2016, the fund purchased $272,852,000 of investment securities and sold $15,266,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $118,353,000 and $31,294,000, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at January 31, 2016, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period February 10, 2015 (commencement of subscription period) through January 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include 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.

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund 7/31/2015 1/31/2016 Period
Based on Actual Fund Return      
Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,003.41 $1.01
Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,003.26 0.61

Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,024.20 $1.02
Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,024.60 0.61
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (184/365).

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.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

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.

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 194 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedules of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at January 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
