1 Securities with a value of $3,265,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Adjustable-rate security, rate shown is effective rate at period end. Certain adjustable rate securities are not
based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent based on current
market conditions.
5 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain trusts and accounts managed by
Vanguard. Rate shown is the 7-day yield.

A. 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.

B. 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 such 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 interest rates move such 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. 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 clearinghouses,
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


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

changes in the market value of each contract. Any assets pledged as initial
margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The
notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Schedule of
Investments. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded as an
asset (liability).

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

C. 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.

D. 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


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

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 funds 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.

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
Schedule of Investments.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund's investments
as of April 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:
