Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, the returns of the funds in this report ranged from –0.31% for both Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund to 4.21% for Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund. (Returns cited are for Investor Shares.) Results versus their benchmark indexes and peer groups were mixed.

• Short-term interest rates moved significantly higher during the period as the Federal Reserve raised its federal funds target rate three times. Longer-term rates, which are driven more by expectations for growth and inflation down the road, moved less.

• Holding more shorter maturities proved a headwind for the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds, whereas the Short-Term Federal Fund’s overweighted allocation to agency debt helped. Yield curve positioning and duration worked against the Long-Term Treasury Fund.

• In the GNMA Fund, mortgage-related securities other than GNMAs added value.

CEO’s Perspective


Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

When you start a new job, it’s natural to reflect on both the past and the future. And so it is in my case, having begun my service as just the fourth chief executive in Vanguard’s history.

I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.

Making a real difference

When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.

It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.

We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. Over the past 25 years, for example, Vanguard has lowered our funds’ asset-weighted average expense ratio

4


 

from 0.31% to 0.12%. And over the past decade, 94% of our funds have beaten the average annual return of their peers.1

Focused on your success

Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—as a client-owned company, we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my new role as CEO, I intend to keep this priority front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.

As I write this, we’ve experienced a period of pronounced market volatility. Strong economic growth and budding signs of inflation have raised concerns about a more aggressive Federal Reserve. Although volatility can test investors’ nerves, we sometimes think of this as “Vanguard weather”—a time when having a disciplined, low-cost, and long-term approach to investment management serves investors well.

Advisors’ Report

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

Interest rates mostly moved higher, with short-term rates rising the most. Returns for the four U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from –0.31% for Investor Shares of both Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund to 4.32% for Admiral Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund.

The Short-Term Federal Fund finished just ahead of its benchmark index; the other funds lagged theirs. The Short-Term Federal Fund and the Long-Term Treasury Fund outpaced the average returns of their peer groups, while the Short-Term Treasury Fund and the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund underperformed theirs.

With more movement at the short end of the yield curve, the 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund gained the most, rising 81 basis points to 1.80%. Investor Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund rose the least, edging up only 4 basis points to 2.68%. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Investment environment

Anticipation of higher infrastructure spending, deregulation, and tax cuts under a new presidential administration contributed to strong stock market returns during the funds’ fiscal year. Although

political debates waylaid much of the administration’s agenda, tax legislation ultimately passed in December 2017. The economy remained strong and inflation was subdued. Many stock market indexes reached record highs as companies posted strong profits.

The Federal Reserve under Janet Yellen was also enthusiastic about the health of the U.S. economy. It raised short-term interest rates three times during the year, pushing its target range for the federal funds rate to 1.25%–1.5%. It also began to reduce the $4.5 trillion balance sheet it had amassed as part of a stimulus package during the 2008–2009 recession. All were signals that the central bank was intent on normalizing monetary policy.

The Fed’s decisions were supported by solid economic readings. The U.S. economy made up for a sluggish start to the year with stronger growth later on. For 2017, gross domestic product grew at a rate of 2.3%, up from 1.5% in 2016. The unemployment rate continued to grind lower, hovering at 4.1% at the end of the fiscal year compared with 4.8% at the beginning. Wage growth remained softer than expected for much of the period, and inflation expectations drifted lower before ending the year on an upward track.

Fed action contributed to a significant rise in short-term yields. The 2-year Treasury note rose 93 basis points to 2.14%, and the 5-year note rose 61 basis points to 2.52%. Longer-term yields, which are more affected by market expectations

for growth and inflation, moved less. The yield of the bellwether 10-year Treasury note was lower than where it had started for a good part of the year but finished up 26 basis points at 2.71%.

Management of the funds

The Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds have a structurally short duration relative to their benchmarks. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rate changes.) Although that stance might have been expected to help the funds during this period of rising rates, it dampened their relative performance this time around as shorter rates rose more than longer ones.

Bond fund managers often adjust the duration of their portfolios based on where they think the economy is headed and what that might mean for interest rates. However, duration calls are hard to consistently get right over time.

We try to take advantage of a broader set of opportunities to generate alpha that are not correlated with duration calls. Our investment toolkit includes AAA-rated debt other than Treasuries such as mortgage-backed securities, other agency debt, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Security selection plays a role as well: We use relative value metrics to identify individual bonds that offer attractive return potential.

A tactical opportunity arose during the period, and we added mortgage-backed securities when they cheapened on the

8


 

prospect of the Fed’s moving to unwind its balance sheet. We then reduced our exposure once their valuations recovered after the gradual pace of tapering was announced.

We selectively purchased agency debt as well, which added some income to the funds. An overweighted allocation to these securities helped the Short-Term Federal Fund surpass its benchmark and the average return of its peer group.

We also added Treasury inflation-protected securities to all four funds early in the period when medium-term inflation expectations seemed low. We then reduced that out-of-benchmark allocation as breakeven inflation widened toward our targeted valuation levels.

Outlook

The pace of productivity growth, demographic trends, and the impact of new technologies, among other things, pose long-term structural challenges. Nonetheless, the U.S. economy is on pace to break above its long-term potential and grow at around 2.5% in 2018.

The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2000 and is likely to move even lower. Although it’s taken longer than expected, we’ve seen some indications of late that the tight labor market is putting some upward pressure on wages. Along with stable and broader global growth, that may well lead to a cyclical upswing in inflation, a scenario the financial markets are now beginning to price in. Recent weakness in the U.S. dollar is also likely to bolster core inflation metrics, albeit moderately and over the course of the next year. However, our long-term outlook, which calls for tepid inflation, remains unchanged.

That backdrop should justify the Fed, now under the chairmanship of Jerome Powell, in raising the federal funds rate to at least 2% by the end of 2018. The Fed will probably want to stick to the framework and timetable it has laid out for reductions in its balance sheet, barring unexpected economic data or unintended consequences from tapering in the bond market.

Volatility has recently picked up from the very low levels we’ve been experiencing for some time, bringing with it more opportunities to take advantage of price dislocations in the market. Rising inflation expectations seem to have been the trigger, but other potential developments could also fuel volatility. These include midterm elections, stalled or scuttled trade negotiations, and flare-ups in geopolitical tensions.

In addition, as 2018 unfolds, we anticipate a convergence of monetary policy, with central banks adopting a less accommodative stance—some raising rates, some planning to do so, and some reducing quantitative easing.

9


 

It’s worth restating that investors should look beyond short-term volatility and adhere to their long-term investment strategies. And keep in mind the silver lining in higher rates for long-term investors—coupon payments and proceeds from maturing bonds can be reinvested at higher rates.

Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers and traders will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the funds’ performance.

For the GNMA Fund

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, Investor Shares of Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 0.85% and Admiral Shares returned 0.95%. The fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. GNMA Bond Index, returned 0.86%.

Investment environment

Over the period, global fixed income markets generated solid gains. Escalating geopolitical tensions and serial disappoint-ments in inflation data helped contain the increase in sovereign yields prompted by central bank policy normalization.

U.S. political controversies—in particular, the ongoing investigation into alleged involvement by Russia in the 2016 presidential election—led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the United Kingdom presented potential sources of volatility but proved benign. Despite concerns about prospects for retailers, particularly in the United States, generally solid corporate earnings, strong global economic data, and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets and led to tighter spreads.

Monetary policy continued down an incrementally more hawkish path. The Federal Reserve announced it would begin tapering its asset purchases in October, raised rates three times over the period, and projected an additional three hikes in 2018. At its October meeting, the European Central Bank announced a reduction in its monthly asset purchases to €30 billion from €60 billion beginning in January, but it extended the purchase program through September 2018.

Strong growth and inflation data prompted the Bank of Canada to increase rates for the first time in seven years. The Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time in ten years. However, it tilted dovish at the press conference announcing the

10


 

move, noting that future rate hikes would depend on the stability of the Brexit transition.

Developed-market government yields ended mixed as improving global economic data were balanced by subdued inflation readings. In the United States, the yield curve flattened. Front-end yields, heavily influenced by Fed monetary policy expectations, rose the most, while the 30-year Treasury yield declined. German bund yields increased along with improving growth prospects in the region. Longer-term U.K. yields fell amid Brexit uncertainty. Japanese government bond yields, anchored by the Bank of Japan’s yield-targeting policy, were little changed.

Absolute returns in most major fixed income spread sectors were positive. On an excess return basis, all of the major spread sectors posted positive returns, including securitized, high-yield, emerging-market debt and investment-grade corporates, led by lower-rated sectors.

The agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market returned 1.31% as measured by the Barclays MBS Fixed Rate Index, surpassing duration-equivalent Treasuries by 69 basis points (as measured by Wellington). Mortgages started the period with a cautious outlook amid concerns over the timing of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet tapering. However, increased clarity about the Fed’s plan to gradually taper its MBS reinvestments helped provide stability to the sector.

In September, the Fed announced it would officially begin its balance sheet normalization process in October. Extremely low levels of volatility and generally range-bound 10-year Treasury yields helped MBS outperform for the balance of the year. The current coupon mortgage spread compressed to its tightest level since the announcement of quantitative easing in 2012.

Within the MBS sector, conventionals (FHLMC, FNMA) bested GNMA pass-throughs as the possibility of reduced banking regulations lowered demand for GNMAs. Thirty-year securities surpassed 15-year, and lower coupons did better than higher ones. GNMA securities returned 0.86% as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. GNMA Bond Index. They beat duration-equivalent Treasuries by 16 basis points (as measured by Wellington) but fell behind conventional mortgages.

The fund’s successes

On average, the fund had an underweighted allocation to GNMAs, instead favoring conventionals, Fannie Mae multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) bonds, and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). This positioning was beneficial as GNMAs lagged DUS bonds and agency CMOs on an excess return basis. The fund’s tactical duration and yield curve position also helped relative performance.

The fund’s shortfalls

Selection within 30-year GNMA securities detracted from relative results.

11


 

The fund’s positioning

Our overall MBS positioning, which includes agency pass-throughs, CMOs, and DUS bonds, is relatively neutral. Within that mix, we have underweighted agency pass-throughs in favor of DUS bonds, agency CMOs, and high-quality agency multifamily bonds with relatively stable cash flows and duration profiles. The underweighted allocation to pass-throughs is primarily concentrated in 30-year GNMA 3.0% and 3.5% coupons.

Although we do not see a significant near-term source of underperformance, historically tight spreads and ultra-low volatility leave us with a negative view of agency MBS pass-throughs. As a result, we have tilted our holdings toward other sectors with attractive income and less sensitivity to prepayments or a pickup in volatility. In fact, while we often maintain this bias toward stability, our MBS portfolios now have their lowest weighting in agency pass-throughs since the crisis.

Mortgage spreads to Treasuries are historically tight during this time of steady economic growth, benign inflation, and low volatility. And tight valuations in competing spread sectors are creating demand for MBS as investors de-risk and shift into high-quality assets. However, we are not advocating underweighted allocations to all sectors of the agency MBS market. They are able to earn positive carry in a steady state environment, which often continues for longer than expected. Instead, we have shifted our portfolio to the more stable MBS sectors, positioning us for an increase in volatility without a significant sacrifice in income.

The Fed has orchestrated a smooth balance-sheet exit so far, judging by the muted response from the agency MBS market. Still, the market may begin to price in the Fed’s actions as its balance sheet begins to shrink more rapidly during 2018. Overall, we still expect a muted impact, with the potential for a modest spread-widening in agency MBS as tapering reinvestments progress. Since the Fed has been very transparent over the timing and measured pace of the plan, we expect the path to wider spreads will be very gradual and partially offset by the benefit of MBS income.

We still expect MBS spreads to remain toward the tight end of their range relative to long-term history. We base this opinion on their favorable supply relative to U.S. Treasuries, lower leverage in the system, a more stable buyer base of long-term investors, a constrained mortgage credit environment, and lower refinancing risk.

Proposal 3—Approve a manager-of-managers arrangement with wholly owned subsidiaries of Vanguard.

This arrangement enables Vanguard or the fund to enter into and materially amend investment advisory arrangements with wholly owned subsidiaries of Vanguard, subject to the approval of the fund’s board of trustees and any conditions imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while avoiding the costs and delays associated with obtaining future shareholder approval. The ability of the fund to operate in this manner is contingent upon the SEC’s approval of a pending application for an order of exemption.

Shareholders of Vanguard GNMA Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund, and Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund did not approve the following proposal: Proposal 7—Institute transparent procedures to avoid holding investments in companies that, in management’s judgment, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity, the most egregious violations of human rights. Such procedures may include time-limited engagement with problem companies if management believes that their behavior can be changed.

The trustees recommended a vote against the proposal for the following reasons: (1) Vanguard is fully compliant with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations that prohibit the investment in any company owned or controlled by the government of Sudan; (2) the addition of further investment constraints is not in fund shareholders’ best interests if those constraints are unrelated to a fund’s stated investment objective, policies, and strategies; and (3) divestment is an ineffective means to implement social change, as it often puts the shares into the hands of another owner with no direct impact to the company’s capitalization.

1 Securities with a value of $4,381,000 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 Adjustable-rate security based upon 1-month USD LIBOR plus spread.
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.
8 Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on options on futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

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 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. 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

27


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 22% 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, 2018, 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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 Net Assets.

28


 

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, 2015–2018), 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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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.

29


 

Short-Term Treasury 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $427,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.17% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 7,621,868
Temporary Cash Investments 73,546
Liability for Options Written (590)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 198
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (1,083)
Total 72,071 7,621,868
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. 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, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $89,470,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,756,428,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $61,014,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $278,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $61,292,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Financial Statements

Statement of Net Assets
As of January 31, 2018

See Note A in Notes to Financial Statements.
1 Securities with a value of $1,453,000 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, 2018.
7 Adjustable-rate security based upon one-year Constant Maturity Treasury yield plus spread.
8 Adjustable-rate security based upon 1-month USD LIBOR plus spread.
9 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain trusts and accounts managed by Vanguard. Rate shown
is the 7-day yield.
10 Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on options on futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

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 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. 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 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 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).

46


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 18% and 7% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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, 2018, 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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 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

47


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

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. 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, 2015–2018), 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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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.

48


 

Short-Term Federal 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $274,000, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 4,857,851
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 73,877
Temporary Cash Investments 58,453
Liability for Options Written (399)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 184
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (735)
Total 57,503 4,931,728
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. 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, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $35,428,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,059,563,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $69,382,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $815,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $70,197,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $8,719,782,000 of investment securities and sold $9,274,296,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, 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 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. 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

63


 

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 8% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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, 2018, 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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 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, 2015–2018), 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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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.

Intermediate-Term Treasury 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $340,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.14% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,932,086
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 88,061
Temporary Cash Investments 16,045
Liability for Options Written (472)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 48
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (585)
Total 15,036 6,020,147
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. 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, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $103,623,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,173,789,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $137,597,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $272,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $137,869,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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 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. 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. Swap Contracts: 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.

83


 

GNMA Fund

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 periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.

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 absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2018, the average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

4. 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2018, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $10,516,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

5. 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.

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, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2015–2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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.

85


 

GNMA Fund

9. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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 the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the year ended January 31, 2018, 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,341,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.54% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 23,519,817 175,267
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 239,415

Futures Contracts —Assets1 996
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (893)
Swap Contracts—Assets1 99
Swap Contracts—Liabilities1 (167)
Total 328,463 24,178,732 175,267
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $308,198,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $24,946,174,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $263,747,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $178,209,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $441,956,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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 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. 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

100


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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, 2018, 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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 Net Assets.

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, 2015–2018), 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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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.

102


 

Long-Term Treasury 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $197,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 3,429,258
Temporary Cash Investments 14,439
Liability for Options Written (271)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 432
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (353)
Total 14,247 3,429,258
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. 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, 2018, the fund realized $6,342,000 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 losses to paid-in capital.

The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $39,010,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2018. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $2,985,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

103


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,411,344,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $32,353,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $74,848,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $42,495,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $3,621,822,000 of investment securities and sold $3,696,323,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $0 and $115,275,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and 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

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund and Vanguard GNMA Fund and statements of net assets 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 (five of the funds constituting Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of January 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of January 31, 2018, 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 ended January 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal
Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and
0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury
Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized
expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month
period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (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.

110


 

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.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, returns of the funds in this report ranged from 1.29% for Investor Shares of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund to 9.39% for Admiral Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund. The funds’ results compared with those of their benchmarks were mixed, but all four funds outpaced their peer groups.

• The Federal Reserve increased interest rates three times during the year. This pushed up yields of short-term securities significantly; yields of longer-term bonds moved less. Corporate spreads, already narrow, tightened even further as growth looked set to pick up and corporate profits continued to expand.

• The Short-Term Fund and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Fund were hurt by an underweight allocation to corporate bonds, particularly those rated BBB. For the Long-Term Fund, security selection in aggregate helped the fund. For Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund, issuer selection and sector allocations helped it beat its comparative standards.

CEO’s Perspective


Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

When you start a new job, it’s natural to reflect on both the past and the future. And so it is in my case, having begun my service as just the fourth chief executive in Vanguard’s history.

I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.

Making a real difference

When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.

It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.

We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. Over the past 25 years, for example, Vanguard has lowered our funds’ asset-weighted average expense ratio

4


 

from 0.31% to 0.12%. And over the past decade, 94% of our funds have beaten the average annual return of their peers.1

Focused on your success

Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—as a client-owned company, we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my new role as CEO, I intend to keep this priority front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.

As I write this, we’ve experienced a period of pronounced market volatility. Strong economic growth and budding signs of inflation have raised concerns about a more aggressive Federal Reserve. Although volatility can test investors’ nerves, we sometimes think of this as “Vanguard weather”—a time when having a disciplined, low-cost, and long-term approach to investment management serves investors well.

Steady, time-tested guidance

Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.

Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.

Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Sincerely,

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Fixed Income Group For the Short-, Intermediate-, and Long-Term Investment-Grade Funds

For the year ended January 31, 2018, Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 1.29% and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 2.47%. (All returns and yields cited are for the funds’ Investor Shares.) Both funds underperformed the return of their benchmark indexes but outperformed the average return for their peers.

We also manage about 10% of the assets of Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, which returned 9.28%. That result was in line with the return of its benchmark index and significantly higher than the average return of the fund’s peers, a group that includes funds that invest across the maturity spectrum.

With the significant rise in shorter-term rates, the 30-day SEC yield for the Short-Term Fund rose 58 basis points over the period to 2.43% and that of the Intermediate-Term Fund rose 27 basis points to 2.89%, while the yield of the Long-Term Fund fell 28 basis points to 3.61%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Investment environment

Anticipation of higher infrastructure spending, deregulation, and tax cuts under a new presidential administration contributed to strong stock market returns during the funds’ fiscal year. Although political debates waylaid much of the administration’s agenda, tax legislation ultimately passed in December 2017.

The economy remained strong and inflation was subdued. Many stock market indexes reached record highs as companies posted strong profits.

The Federal Reserve under Janet Yellen was also enthusiastic about the health of the U.S. economy. It raised short-term interest rates three times during the year, pushing its target range for the federal funds rate to 1.25%–1.5%. The Fed also

began to reduce the $4.5 trillion balance sheet it had amassed as part of a stimulus package during the 2007–2009 recession. All were signals that the central bank was intent on normalizing monetary policy.

The Fed’s decisions were supported by solid economic readings. The U.S. economy made up for a sluggish start to the year with stronger growth later on. For 2017, gross domestic product grew at a rate of 2.3%, up from 1.5% in 2016. The unemployment rate continued to grind lower, hovering at 4.1% at the end of the fiscal year compared with 4.8% at the beginning. Wage growth remained softer than expected for much of the period, and inflation expectations drifted lower before ending the year on an upward track.

Fed action contributed to a significant rise in short-term yields: The 2-year U.S. Treasury note rose 93 basis points to 2.14%, while the 5-year note rose 61 basis points to 2.52%. Longer-term yields, which are more affected by market expectations for growth and inflation, moved less. The yield of the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury note was lower than where it had started for a good part of the year, but it finished up 26 basis points at 2.71%.

Businesses continuing to post solid revenue and earnings growth, a reduction in corporate tax rates, and investors continuing to reach for yield all supported demand for investment-grade corporate bonds. The average yield of those securities over Treasuries tightened to 86 basis points at the end of the period from 121 basis points at the beginning. By maturity, long-dated bonds significantly outperformed. By credit quality, the picture was more nuanced, but BBB-rated bonds generally fared the best among investment-grade securities.

Management of the funds

The Short-Term Fund and the Intermediate-Term Fund have a structural underweight to lower-quality corporate bonds. This defensive positioning detracted from relative performance during the period under review as corporate bonds did better than other investment-grade debt and BBB-rated bonds outperformed their higher-rated counterparts. Having a shorter duration than their benchmarks also detracted, especially for the Intermediate-Term Fund.

Security selection in corporate bonds, however, added value in a number of segments. Banks were one: They benefited from the improved outlook for profitability that stemmed from the regulatory changes and rise in interest rates. Among industrials, our tactical positions in energy, basic materials, and transportation played out well. By region, security selection in emerging markets, particularly Latin America, helped.

For diversification purposes, the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Funds have exposure to segments of the investment-grade credit market that are not part of their benchmarks, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (pooled mortgages on commercial properties) and asset-backed securities (typically made up of pooled auto loans, credit-card debt, and student loans). The underperformance of these segments over the fiscal year held back the funds’ relative returns. The funds also held Treasuries for diversification and as a liquidity buffer, and these securities underperformed corporates, as the environment was risk-on most of the period.

We added Treasury inflation-protected securities to the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Funds early in the period when medium-term inflation expectations seemed low, then reduced that out-of-benchmark allocation as breakeven inflation widened toward our targeted valuation levels.

Outlook

In spite of long-term structural challenges posed by, among other things, the pace of productivity growth, demographic trends, and the impact of new technologies, the U.S. economy is set to expand at 2.5% in 2018, a little above its long-term potential growth rate.

The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2000 and is likely to move even lower. While it’s taken longer than expected, we have seen some indications of late that the tight labor market is putting some upward pressure on wages. That, along with stable and broader global growth, may well lead to a cyclical upswing in inflation—a scenario that the financial markets are now beginning to price in. Recent weakness in the U.S. dollar is also likely to bolster core inflation metrics, albeit moderately, over the course of the next year. However, our long-term outlook, which calls for tepid inflation, remains unchanged.

That backdrop should justify the Fed, now under the chairmanship of Jerome Powell, in raising the federal funds rate to at least 2% by the end of 2018. The Fed will likely want to stick to the framework and timetable it has laid out for reductions in its balance sheet, barring unexpected economic data or unintended consequences from tapering in the bond market.

Volatility has recently picked up from the very low levels we’ve been experiencing for some time, bringing with it more opportunities to take advantage of price dislocations in the market. Rising inflation expectations seem to have been the trigger. That said, other potential developments could also fuel volatility, including mid-term elections, stalled or scuttled trade negotiations, and flare-ups in geopolitical tensions. In addition, as

9


 

2018 unfolds, we anticipate a convergence of monetary policy, with central banks adopting a less accommodative stance—some raising rates, some planning to do so, some reducing quantitative easing.

Although spreads have become very tight, U.S. corporate bonds could get some support from pension and life insurance companies that may be drawn back into the market for longer-term securities now that their yields have moved higher. The securities should also remain attractive to international investors, given their yield advantage. In addition, the new tax bill could prove supportive to prices if the repatriation of profits results in reduced bond issuance.

It’s worth restating that investors should look beyond short-term volatility and adhere to their long-term investment strategies. And keep in mind the silver lining in higher rates for long-term investors—coupon payments and proceeds from maturing bonds can be reinvested at higher rates.

Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers and traders will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the funds’ performance.

For the Long-Term Investment-
Grade Fund

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 9.28% for Investor Shares and 9.39% for Admiral Shares for the 12 months ended January 31, 2018. That result was in line with the 9.35% return of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index, and ahead of the 3.72% average return of its peers.

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 creditworthiness of the corporate bond issuers.

Investment environment

Over the fiscal year, global fixed income markets generated solid gains. Escalating geopolitical tensions and disappointments in inflation data helped to contain upward pressure on sovereign yields prompted by central bank policy normalization. In the United States, political controversies led to a short-lived dip in risk assets. Elections in France and the United Kingdom presented potential sources of volatility, but proved benign in the aftermath. Despite concerns about prospects for retailers—particularly in the United States—generally solid corporate earnings, strong global economic data, and continued demand

for yield-producing assets supported credit markets. Most developed-market currencies strengthened compared to the U.S. dollar as political uncertainty and continued skepticism about the Federal Reserve’s projected rate-hiking path weighed on the currency.

Monetary policy continued on a more hawkish path throughout the year. The Fed announced it would begin tapering its asset purchases in October and hiked rates three times in 2017.

Developed-market government yields were mixed over the period as subdued inflation countered improving global economic data. In the United States, the yield curve flattened; front-end yields, which were heavily influenced by Fed monetary policy expectations, rose more than longer-term yields.

Absolute returns in most major fixed income spread sectors were positive during the fiscal year. On an excess return basis, all of the major spread sectors—including securitized, high-yield, and emerging markets debt and investment-grade corporates—posted positive returns over the period.

The portfolio’s successes

In aggregate, security selection contributed favorably to relative results, most notably in communications, taxable municipal bonds, and banking. Overweighted allocations to banking and taxable municipal bonds also benefited relative results.

The portfolio’s shortfalls

Underweight positioning in the consumer noncyclical, capital goods, and basic industry sectors weighed most on relative performance. Security selection within technology and basic industry also detracted from relative performance.

Outlook

Market valuations appear to reflect the improving fundamental and technical backdrop. Spreads across the investment-grade corporate market are trading very close to post-crisis lows, leading us to a neutral risk posture. The U.S. economy remains on a positive growth trajectory, driven by consumer spending and investment.

The Fed is likely to hike rates three or four times in 2018, notwithstanding inflation that remains below the Federal Open Market Committee’s target. Any shifts by various central banks toward less accommodative monetary policies will be very important for the supply/demand equation.

While gross leverage has increased, net leverage is at a more reasonable level, thanks to elevated cash balances. Free cash flow as a percentage of debt remains healthy compared to historical ratios. Many debt-funded merger and acquisition transactions have pushed the investment-grade ratings limit. Rating agencies have given companies leeway to add leverage with the promise to later reduce debt, and this has led to higher leverage for the overall index. Cash flow from lower tax

rates and profit repatriation will help companies to varying degrees. Those with higher percentages of U.S.-based sales should benefit substantially. Repatriation will lead to lower supply from companies that had large overseas cash balances.

Market liquidity is as strong as it has been at any time since the global financial crisis, driven by low volatility. Gross issuance set a record in as yields remained low. Net issuance will likely be flat to negative year-over-year for 2018, given a heavy redemption schedule.

For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, the fund returned 6.19% for Investor Shares and 6.29% for Admiral Shares, outpacing the return of 5.69% for its benchmark index.

Investment environment

High-yield markets benefited from strong global economic data, positive earnings trends, and continued demand for yield-producing assets. Monetary policy continued on an incrementally less accommodative path as the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates three times during the period and began reducing the size of its balance sheet. Longer-term rates also increased, as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 2.71% by the end of January 2018 from 2.45% at the end of January 2017. Bouts of elevated political uncertainty and serial disappointments in inflation data supported government bonds over most of the period. However, Treasury yields rose sharply in January.

Corporate credit markets faced uncertainty about U.S. health care policy and concerns about prospects for retailers, but generally solid corporate earnings and continued demand for yield-producing assets supported credit markets and credit spreads tightened further. The spread of the high-yield market tightened to 319 basis points over Treasuries, down from 388 basis points at the start of the period. The average price of high-yield bonds was unchanged, at $101.

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, there was some dispersion in performance by credit quality. The high-yield market continued to favor relatively lower-credit-quality bonds amid the insatiable search for yield. Lower-rated CCC bonds performed best, returning 9.80%, according to Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index data. Meanwhile, higher-rated BB bonds generated gains of 6.19%; bonds rated B returned 5.77%.

As of this writing, we continue to be positive on high yield, given the backdrop of stable corporate fundamentals, a supportive macroeconomic landscape, and strong demand for yield-producing assets. We expect positive U.S. gross

12


 

domestic product (GDP) growth in 2018, driven by consumer spending and corporate investment, and we believe that most high-yield companies will be able to sustain solid credit profiles in that environment. While global political risks remain, valuations appear reasonable relative to our outlook, in particular given our expectation for a benign default rate over the course of 2018. Moody’s trailing 12-month global issuer-weighted speculative-grade default rate ended December at 2.9%, below the long-term average of 4.2%. Although bouts of volatility may persist, we continue to take a long-term, issuer-specific approach to finding opportunities in this market.

We are particularly positive on conditions in the United States and favor issuers expected to benefit from a growing U.S. domestic economy. Of note, a sweeping tax reform law was passed in December that will impact the market and individual companies. The law provides fiscal stimulus at a time of full employment, which could further spur U.S. GDP growth. It will affect companies differently depending on their current tax rate, leverage profile, and other factors, so we expect that there will be winners and losers among individual high-yield issuers, and we will continue to take an issuer-specific approach to investing in the high-yield market. Longer-term, we believe the tax law could have the overall net effect of reducing corporate debt issuance, a supply reduction that could provide support to bond prices going forward.

The fund’s successes

The fund benefited from an underweighted allocation to and positive credit selection within the wirelines and retail sectors, as well as positive credit selection in the pharmaceuticals sector.

The fund’s shortfalls

Positioning and security section within the utilities sector detracted from relative returns. Security selection within the consumer products sector also hurt relative results.

The fund’s positioning

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

counter swap contracts.
2 Securities with a value of $19,863,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.
3 Securities with a value of $35,945,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open cleared swap contracts.

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 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. 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).

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

3. 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 11% and 9% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated.

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, 2018, 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.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2018, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 4% 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 2% 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. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the

51


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

Options on futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Swaptions are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. 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, 2018, 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.

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, 2015–2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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 $3.1 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,

52


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $3,497,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.40% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

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, 2018, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $63,013,000 (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $144,197,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $63,545,914,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $410,340,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $150,381,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $560,721,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $35,879,536,000 of investment securities and sold $27,202,731,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $16,833,526,000 and $22,561,843,000, respectively.

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2018

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 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. 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).

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

3. 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 13% and 6% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated.

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

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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, 2018, 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 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

86


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2018, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 3% 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 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

6. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay

87


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

Options on futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Swaptions are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. 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, 2018, the fund’s average value 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.

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, 2015–2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.

88


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,619,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.65% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

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, 2018, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $18,840,000 (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to overdistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, the fund used capital loss carryforwards of $61,245,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2018, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders.

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.

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 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. 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 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

114


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated.

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, 2018, 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.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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 absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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

116


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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, 2018, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 15% 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. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date,

117


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

Options on futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Swaptions are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. 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, 2018, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

7. 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, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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.

8. 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, 2015–2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

9. 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.

10. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 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,

118


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.

11. 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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.

Vanguard provides investment advisory services to a portion of the fund as described below; the fund paid Vanguard advisory fees of $2,097,000 for the year ended January 31, 2018.

For the year ended January 31, 2018, the aggregate investment advisory fee paid to all advisors 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 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $905,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.36% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are

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.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $24,456,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains 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 $18,278,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $2,839,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2018, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2018, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $2,937,000 and $51,944,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $14,975,913,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,388,849,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,450,672,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $61,823,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $4,361,737,000 of investment securities and sold $3,459,570,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $859,521,000 and $539,476,000, respectively.

High-Yield Corporate Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund 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 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. 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).

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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 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 absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated.

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, 2018, 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

139


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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 absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2018, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 2% 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, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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, 2015–2018), 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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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, 2018, 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.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At January 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,352,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.54% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

D. The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended January 31, 2018, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $109,000 (an annual rate of 0.00% of average net assets).

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

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

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

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $24,381,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $61,587,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2018. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2018, the fund had available capital losses totaling $371,912,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $24,092,861,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $535,787,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $794,636,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $258,849,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

H. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $7,813,798,000 of investment securities and sold $5,715,796,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $497,236,000 and $0, respectively.

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

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary of Vanguard Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (four of the funds constituting Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of January 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of January 31, 2018, 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 ended January 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for
that period are: for the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.10% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for
Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the
Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.23% for
Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio
multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then
divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (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.

150


 

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 201 Vanguard funds.

Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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.

• For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund returned 1.17% for Investor Shares and 1.26% for Admiral Shares. The fund’s benchmark returned 0.63% and the average return of the fund’s peers was 1.26%.

• The benchmark index consists of a single bond (the most recently issued 1-year U.S. Treasury note). The fund, however, holds a broadly diversified portfolio of about 700 securities.

• During the period, yields on short-term securities rose as the Federal Reserve increased interest rates three times. Intermediate- and long-term rates, which are affected by market expectations for growth and inflation, experienced smaller changes.

• The fund benefited from buying corporate bonds and commercial paper at depressed prices during the period. These positions were spread across a wide array of sectors.

CEO’s Perspective


Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

When you start a new job, it’s natural to reflect on both the past and the future. And so it is in my case, having begun my service as just the fourth chief executive in Vanguard’s history.

I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.

Making a real difference

When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.

It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.

We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. Over the past 25 years, for example, Vanguard has lowered our funds’ asset-weighted average expense ratio

2


 

from 0.31% to 0.12%. And over the past decade, 94% of our funds have beaten the average annual return of their peers.1

Focused on your success

Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—as a client-owned company, we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my new role as CEO, I intend to keep this priority front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.

As I write this, we’ve experienced a period of pronounced market volatility. Strong economic growth and budding signs of inflation have raised concerns about a more aggressive Federal Reserve. Although volatility can test investors’ nerves, we sometimes think of this as “Vanguard weather”—a time when having a disciplined, low-cost, and long-term approach to investment management serves investors well.

Steady, time-tested guidance

Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.

Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.

Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2018, Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund returned 1.17% for Investor Shares and 1.26% for Admiral Shares. The fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Bellwethers: 1 Year Index, which consists of a single 1-year U.S. Treasury note, returned 0.63%. The average return of peer funds was 1.26%.

Investment environment

Anticipation of higher infrastructure spending, deregulation, and tax cuts under a new presidential administration contributed to strong stock market returns during the fund’s fiscal year. While political debates waylaid much of the administration’s agenda, tax legislation ultimately was passed in December 2017. The economy remained strong and inflation remained subdued. Many stock market indexes reached record highs as companies posted strong profits.

The Federal Reserve under Chair Janet Yellen also viewed the U.S. economy as healthy. It raised short-term interest rates three times in 2017, pushing its target range for the federal funds rate to 1.25%–1.5%. It also began to reduce the $4.5 trillion balance sheet it had amassed as part of a stimulus package during the 2007–2009 recession. All were signals that the central bank was intent on normalizing monetary policy.

The Fed’s decisions were supported by solid economic readings. The U.S. economy made up for a sluggish start to the year with stronger growth later. For 2017, the gross domestic product grew at a rate of 2.3%, up from 1.5% in 2016. The unemployment rate continued to fall, hovering at 4.1% at the end of the fiscal year compared with 4.8% at the beginning. Wage growth remained softer

than expected for much of the period while inflation expectations drifted lower before ending the year on an upward track.

Fed action contributed to the significant increase in short-term yields. The 2-year Treasury note rose 93 basis points over the period to 2.14% and the 5-year note rose 61 basis points to 2.52%. Changes were smaller for longer-term yields, which are affected more by market expectations for growth and inflation. The yield of the bellwether 10-year Treasury note was lower than where it started for a good part of the year, but finished 26 basis points higher at 2.71%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Continued growth in business revenue and earnings, a reduction in corporate tax rates, and investor thirst for yield all supported demand for investment-grade corporate bonds. The average yield of those securities over Treasuries tightened to 86 basis points at the end of the period from 121 basis points at the beginning. By maturity, long-dated bonds significantly outperformed. By credit quality, the picture was more nuanced, but BBB-rated bonds generally fared best among investment-grade securities.

Management of the fund

Your fund is supported by the full resources of Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group: its credit analysts, risk managers, and bond traders. We use the same investment philosophy and processes that are in place at Vanguard’s other actively managed taxable bond funds. This includes investing in a diversified array of securities, including Treasury, agency, corporate, and asset-backed bonds, in our quest to provide income while maintaining limited price volatility.

A majority of the fund’s holdings have an expected maturity of three years or less, and we typically hold those bonds until they mature. We strive to maintain the fund’s duration (a measure of the sensitivity of bond, and bond mutual fund, prices to changes in interest rates) at or near one year. That duration is in line with the fund’s 1-year Treasury benchmark.

We seek to add value versus the fund’s benchmark through asset allocation and security selection. The choices we make in allocation by issuer, sector, and credit quality can lead to over- and underper-formance relative to the benchmark.

Throughout the period, we used the fund’s liquidity to our advantage, buying corporate bonds and commercial paper at depressed prices. These securities were of lesser credit quality but still investment-grade and represented a wide array of sectors, including industrials, utilities, and financial services. In general, these positions worked in the fund’s favor, allowing us to generate extra yield without taking on excessive risk.

The fund also continued to generate positive returns from its positions in asset-backed securities (ABS). The ABS were backed primarily by automobile loans and credit card accounts.

Outlook

In spite of long-term structural challenges—including the pace of productivity growth, demographic trends, and the impact of new technologies—the U.S. economy is on track to break above its estimated long-term potential growth rate to around 2.5% in 2018.

The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2000 and is likely to move even lower. While it’s taken longer than expected, we’ve seen indications that the tight labor market is putting some upward pressure on wages. That, along with stable and broader global growth, may well lead to a cyclical upswing in inflation, a scenario the financial markets are now beginning to price in. Recent weakness in the U.S. dollar is also likely to bolster core inflation metrics, albeit moderately and over the course of the next year. However, our long-term outlook, which calls for tepid inflation, remains unchanged.

That backdrop should provide justification for the Fed, now under the chairmanship of Jerome Powell, to raise the federal funds rate to at least 2% by the end of 2018. It will probably want to stick to the framework and timetable it has laid out for reductions in its balance sheet, barring unexpected economic data or unintended consequences from tapering in the bond market.

Volatility has recently picked up from the very low levels we’ve been experiencing for some time, bringing with it more opportunities to take advantage of price dislocations in the market.

Rising inflation expectations seem to have been the trigger for the pickup, but other developments could also fuel volatility, including U.S. mid-term elections, stalled or scuttled trade negotiations, and flare-ups in geopolitical tensions.

In addition, as 2018 unfolds, we anticipate a convergence of monetary policy, with central banks adopting a less accommodative stance—some raising rates, some planning to raise rates, and some reducing quantitative easing.

While spreads have become very tight, U.S. corporate bonds could get some support from pension managers and life insurance companies that may be drawn back into the market for longer-term securities now that their yields have moved higher. U.S. corporates should also remain attractive to international investors given their yield advantage. The new U.S. tax law could also prove supportive to prices if the repatriation of profits results in reduced bond issuance.

It’s worth repeating that investors should look beyond short-term volatility and adhere to their long-term investment strategies. And keep in mind the silver lining in higher rates for long-term investors—coupon payments and proceeds from maturing bonds can be reinvested at higher rates.

Proposal 3—Approve a manager-of-managers arrangement with wholly owned subsidiaries of Vanguard.

This arrangement enables Vanguard or the fund to enter into and materially amend investment advisory arrangements with wholly owned subsidiaries of Vanguard, subject to the approval of the fund’s board of trustees and any conditions imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), while avoiding the costs and delays associated with obtaining future shareholder approval. The ability of the fund to operate in this manner is contingent upon the SEC’s approval of a pending application for an order of exemption.

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.

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.

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 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. 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. 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 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.

36


 

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 11% and 8% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2018, 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. The fund had no open forward currency contracts at January 31, 2018.

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.

37


 

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

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 Assets and Liabilities 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 absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. 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.

38


 

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2018, 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.

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, 2016–2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders 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 $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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.

39


 

Ultra-Short-Term Bond 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $187,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.07% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 114,572
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 1,536,338 6,400
Corporate Bonds 1,155,941
Sovereign Bonds 193,005
Taxable Municipal Bonds 2,523
Temporary Cash Investments 253,603 352,448
Futures Contracts—Assets1 37
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (119)
Swap Contracts—Assets 83
Total 253,521 3,354,910 6,400
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

The determination of Level 3 fair value measurements is governed by documented policies and procedures adopted by the board of trustees. The board has designated a pricing review committee, as an agent of the board, to ensure the timely analysis and valuation of Level 3 securities held by the fund in accordance with established policies and procedures. The pricing review committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches, including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity. All valuation decisions made by the pricing review committee are reported to the board on a quarterly basis for review and ratification. The board reviews the adequacy of the fair value measurement policies and procedures in place on an annual basis.

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, 2018, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $2,308,000 (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.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2018, the fund had $1,081,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $2,689,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,624,712,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,882,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $833,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $10,715,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $1,677,378,000 of investment securities and sold $768,438,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $497,079,000 and $703,704,000, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets and statement of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of January 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended January 31, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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.

Six Months Ended January 31, 2018      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund 7/31/2017 1/31/2018 Period
Based on Actual Fund Return      
Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,004.88 $0.96
Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,004.79 0.40
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return      
Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,024.25 $0.97
Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,024.80 0.41

 

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 0.19% for Investor Shares and 0.08% 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.

CEO’s Perspective


Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

When you start a new job, it’s natural to reflect on both the past and the future. And so it is in my case, having begun my service as just the fourth chief executive in Vanguard’s history.

I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.

Making a real difference

When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.

It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.

We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. Over the past 25 years, for example, Vanguard has lowered our funds’ asset-weighted average expense ratio

2


 

from 0.31% to 0.12%. And over the past decade, 94% of our funds have beaten the average annual return of their peers.1

Focused on your success

Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—as a client-owned company, we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my new role as CEO, I intend to keep this priority front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.

As I write this, we’ve experienced a period of pronounced market volatility. Strong economic growth and budding signs of inflation have raised concerns about a more aggressive Federal Reserve. Although volatility can test investors’ nerves, we sometimes think of this as “Vanguard weather”—a time when having a disciplined, low-cost, and long-term approach to investment management serves investors well.

Steady, time-tested guidance

Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.

Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.

Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Sincerely,


Mortimer J. Buckley

REIT II Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard REIT II Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vanguard REIT Index Fund (“REIT”), and at January 31, 2018, REIT was the record or beneficial owner of 100% of the fund’s net assets. As part of REIT’s principal investment strategy, it attempts to replicate the benchmark index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets—either directly or indirectly through the fund—in the stocks that make up the index.

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. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at January 31, 2018.

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, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

14


 

REIT II Index Fund

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The portion of distributions that exceeds a fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as measured on a tax basis, constitute a non-taxable return of capital.

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 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 0.10% 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 based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at January 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.

7. Other: Distributions received from REITs are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each REIT reports annually the tax character of its distributions. Dividend income, capital gain distributions received, and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflect the amounts of taxable income, capital gain, and return of capital reported by the REITs, and management’s estimates of such amounts for REIT distributions for which actual information has not been reported. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

15


 

REIT II Index Fund

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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $350,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.14% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

At January 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and 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 certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,355,654,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $223,762,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $174,893,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $398,655,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the fund purchased $6,433,959,000 of investment securities and sold $73,351,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $6,255,490,000 and $0, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

G. On February 1, 2018, the benchmark index of the fund was changed from the MSCI US REIT Index to the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Transition Index. The fund is expected to complete its transition to its destination benchmark index, MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index, during the third quarter of 2018. Additionally, the name of the fund was changed to Vanguard Real Estate II Index Fund.

Management has determined that no other material events or transactions occurred subsequent to January 31, 2018, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Real Estate II Index Fund (formerly known as Vanguard REIT II Index Fund)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard REIT II Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, referred to hereafter as the "Fund”) as of January 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period September 26, 2017 (commencement of operations) through January 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2018, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period September 26, 2017 (commencement of operations) through January 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2017 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard REIT II Index Fund

This information for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018, is included pursuant to provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code.

The fund distributed $9,589,000 as capital gain dividends (from net long-term capital gains) to
shareholders during the fiscal year. The fund designated $9,589,000 of its capital gain dividends
as unrecaptured section 1250 gain distribution ( 25% rate gain).

The fund distributed $6,184,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2018. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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.

  Account Value Account Value Paid During
REIT II Index Fund 9/26/2017 1/31/2018 Period
Based on Actual Fund Return $1,000.00 $971.11 $0.40
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 982.20 0.40

 

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent period. The fund’s annualized expense ratio for that period is 0.08%.
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 period since inception September 26, 2017, to January 31, 2018, then divided by the
number of days in the most recent 12-month period (128/365).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

Effective September 2017, the board of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds approved the launch of Vanguard REIT II Index Fund, which utilizes an internalized management structure whereby The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Equity Index Group, would provide investment advisory services to the fund. The board determined that the investment advisory arrangement with Vanguard was in the best interests of the fund and its prospective shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of the investment management services to be provided to the fund and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Index Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted approval of the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance

The board determined that the Equity Index Group, in its management of other Vanguard funds, has a track record of consistent performance and disciplined investment processes. Information about the fund’s performance since inception can be found in the Performance Summary section of this report.

Cost

The board concluded that the fund’s expense ratio will be well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. Information about the fund’s expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section as well as in the Financial Statements section.

The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that Vanguard’s at-cost arrangement with the fund ensures that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

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

Glossary

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments. This yield may include some payments that represent a return of capital, capital gains distributions, or both by the underlying stocks.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

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.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

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.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 201 Vanguard funds.

Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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 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

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary 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 (four of the funds constituting Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of January 31, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended January 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2018 (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedules of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) as of January 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of January 31, 2018, 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 ended January 31, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended January 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


March 15, 2018

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in The Vanguard Group of Funds since 1975.
