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 other 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, as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 valuation designee to represent fair value and subject to oversight by the board of trustees.
B. 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 MSFTA, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the MSFTA.
At October 31, 2023, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $658,000 in connection with TBA transactions.
C. 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 also enters 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.
D. 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. Any securities pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded as an asset (liability).

E.  Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments and derivatives. 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 and derivatives 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, 2023, based on the inputs used to value them:
