Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

A description of money market mutual fund performance over the past six months will have a familiar ring to many investors. Yields of the Vanguard Money Market Funds continued to be a hairsbreadth above zero as the Federal Reserve kept short-term interest rates at a historically low level.

This restrictive interest rate environment has been a challenge ably met by the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group. Our funds’ returns were slight in the half-year ended February 28, but they were ahead of the 0% average return of competing money market funds, and we didn’t waver from our mandate to invest in very high-credit-quality securities.

During the period, U.S. money market funds continued to implement changes required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in reaction to the financial crisis of 2008. In our last report to you, I noted one of these new requirements, which involved an enhancement to fund liquidity. Since then, money market funds have begun posting their holdings five business days after the end of each month on their websites. In addition, the SEC has begun posting, with a 60-day delay, funds’ “shadow net asset values” on its own site. Shadow NAVs reflect the typically very modest changes in market prices of fund investments. Federal policy-makers are pondering additional changes, and Vanguard has been providing research and comments.

We applaud these developments, which support the transparency and credit quality of all money market funds. None of the changes alter the exacting standards for credit quality and liquidity to which we have traditionally managed your funds.

We continue to believe that money market funds play an important role in most investors’ portfolios, as well as in the broad economy.

Longer-term interest rates rose, depressing bond prices

U.S. interest rates hovered near generational lows early in the period but then moved higher for all but the shortest-term securities, putting pressure on bond prices. For the six months ended February 28, the broad taxable bond market produced

a small negative return. The municipal bond market did worse. Corporate bonds outperformed government debt as investors stretched for yield beyond government securities, where rates remained low by historical standards.

As I noted earlier, the Federal Reserve held its target for short-term interest rates near 0%, as it has since December 2008. This stance kept the returns available from money market instruments such as the 3-month Treasury bill in the same neighborhood.

A fretful start, an optimistic finish for global stock markets

period, the U.S. economy seemed in danger of tipping back into recession. By the end, hopes were high that it had reached escape velocity, propelled by steady job growth and notable strength in the manufacturing sector. Smaller stocks, which are especially sensitive to the rhythms of the business cycle, produced the highest six-month returns.

In Europe, investor optimism subdued sovereign-debt jitters, driving stock prices higher. Developed markets in the Pacific region perked up on signs of recovery in global trade. Australian stocks posted especially strong returns, benefiting from a surge in the prices of metals and other natural resources. Emerging stock markets trailed a few steps behind their developed-market counterparts. Most major currencies

appreciated relative to the U.S. dollar, enhancing returns from abroad for U.S.-based investors.

The funds’ investments are chosen very, very selectively

As of February 28, the yields of the Prime and Federal Money Market Funds were slightly lower than those we reported to you six months ago; the Admiral Treasury Fund’s yield was unchanged. Both the Admiral Treasury and Federal Money Market Funds had a 7-day SEC yield of about 0.02%. (These funds have been closed to new investors since 2009.) The Investor Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund yielded 0.07%, while the Institutional Shares, because of their lower expense ratio, yielded 0.19%.

In this environment of super-low short-term interest rates, our advisor sought to produce as much income as possible consistent with the funds’ prospectus goal of investing only in very high-quality money market instruments. Every potential holding—particularly those for the Prime Money Market Fund, which invests in corporate and foreign-government securities—is thoroughly vetted by a team of experienced credit analysts.

At the end of February, about one-third of the Prime Money Market Fund’s assets were invested in bank certificates of deposit, mostly in the form of Eurodollar CDs or Yankee CDs. The former are held outside the United States and are typically issued by London banks; the latter are

typically issued by the New York branches of foreign banks. Both are denominated in dollars.

About a fifth of the fund’s holdings consisted of commercial paper (a type of unsecured debt typically backed by bank lines of credit) issued by foreign governments and by financial and industrial firms in the United States and abroad. Smaller portions of the portfolio were invested in state and local government securities and repurchase agreements, which are short-term loans backed by government and agency securities.

The Prime Money Market Fund held dollar-denominated instruments from a geographically diversified group of banks

in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and selected European countries. The fund has no direct exposure to securities of the financially stretched European countries—Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain—that have been wrestling with sovereign-debt challenges.

As of February 28, the largest portion of the fund’s investments—about 40%—were in U.S. government and agency obligations, which have the highest credit standing. Our other two money market funds have a more exclusive focus, as their names imply: The Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund concentrates on U.S. Treasury securities, while the Federal Money Market Fund typically focuses on securities issued by agencies of the federal government.

When will short-term rates bounce off the bottom?

Despite their low yields, the Vanguard Money Market Funds continue to carry out their primary function admirably, serving as low-cost vehicles in which you can hold your short-term reserves with confidence that they are invested in securities of high quality.

So what’s next for short-term interest rates? No one can know for certain, of course, what the Federal Reserve’s policy will be or what will happen in the financial markets. That’s the nature of investing, and it’s why we recommend an investment program that is balanced and diversified among stocks, bonds, and money market funds.

At this point, while many economists believe that the Federal Reserve will take steps to boost short-term rates late in 2011, Vanguard’s economists suspect that such action will more likely take place in early 2012. Note that our economists often share their latest views at vanguard.com.

As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended February 28, 2011, the three Vanguard Money Market Funds produced negligible returns. As with all money market funds, yields have been weighed down by the Federal Reserve Board’s policy of keeping short-term interest rates very low in an attempt to spur economic growth. The Fed has maintained its target federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25% since December 2008 and has continued to state that it plans to keep short-term rates low “for an extended period.” In November the Fed announced a strategy aimed at tamping down longer-term interest rates as well through a massive bond-buying program.

The funds’ returns ranged from 0.01% for the Admiral Treasury and Federal Money Market Funds to 0.10% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund. By comparison, the average return of peer-group money market funds was 0%.

Investing in a difficult market

The half-year began in a period of heightened sovereign-debt risk in Europe. Financial conditions in Greece deteriorated and prompted intervention by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. These actions mitigated some of the worry about Greece, but concern lingered about high levels of debt in other countries.

As conditions evolved, we modified the exposures in the Prime Money Market Fund to reflect our concerns about the potential for further deterioration in Europe. We increased our holdings in

Canadian and Australian banks, which had limited exposure to regions we were concerned about.

During this period, we continued to take advantage of relative value opportunities in the U.S. Treasury and agency markets. A consequence of the housing crisis has been a decline in money-market-eligible agency issuance, while yields on short-term agency discount notes have remained relatively close to those of U.S. Treasury bills. Because of this, we increased the allocation to Treasury bills in the Prime and Federal Money Market Funds. As an alternative to the discount agency notes, we have been able to accumulate a position in floating-rate agency securities at more favorable yields.

The outlook

The good news is that the economy is showing signs of improvement. The employment situation has gotten better and retail sales have grown. We believe we have entered a period of self-sustaining recovery that will eventually lead the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy. As always, we will continue to monitor the situation and adjust the portfolios accordingly should the expansion prove to be faster than anticipated.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. 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.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Prime Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for institutional 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. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. 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 (August 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended February 28, 2011, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Municipal Cash Management 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 28, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $18,073,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 7.23% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Beginning in July 2009, Vanguard and the board of trustees agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time.

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).

The fund’s investment in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund is valued based on Level 1 inputs. All of the fund’s other investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

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

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. 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.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Federal Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments.

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund invests in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. 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 (August 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended February 28, 2011, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

5. Other: 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.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 28, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $900,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.36% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Beginning in July 2009, Vanguard and the board of trustees agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time.

Federal Money Market Fund

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).

At February 28, 2011, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. In preparing the financial statements as of February 28, 2011, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. 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.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. 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 (August 31, 2007–2010), and for the period ended February 28, 2011, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

4. Other: 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.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 28, 2011, the fund had contributed capital of $2,850,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 1.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Beginning in July 2009, Vanguard and the board of trustees agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time.

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).

At February 28, 2011, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. In preparing the financial statements as of February 28, 2011, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 the account service fee described in the prospectus (the fee does not apply to the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares or the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund). If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it 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.

Federal Money Market Fund $1,000.00 $1,023.70 $1.10
Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund $1,000.00 $1,024.10 $0.70

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 Prime Money Market Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market
Fund, 0.22%; and for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.14%. 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.

Glossary

SEC Yields. A money market fund’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.

Credit Quality. The credit ratings assigned to fixed income securities are an indicator of risk. They represent a rating agency’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. For Vanguard money market funds, the Distribution by Credit Quality table was revised to include tier ratings for consistency with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds. A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and that is rated in the highest category for short-term debt obligations by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. An unrated security is considered to be First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as determined in accordance with the SEC rule. A Second Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and is not a First Tier security.

Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.

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.

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 179 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
