1 Securities with a value of $8,929,000 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 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain trusts and accounts managed by
Vanguard. Rate shown is the 7-day yield.
5 Includes securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for which the fund has not taken
delivery as of October 31, 2019.
REMICS—Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits.
TBA—To Be Announced.
UMBS—Uniform Mortgage Backed Securities.

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.


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

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 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


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

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.

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 and derivatives as of
October 31, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:
