Chairman’s Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

More than a decade ago, a Vanguard client asked us to help improve its defined contribution retirement plan. New hires were participating in the plan at lower rates than in previous years, and the client wanted to reverse this trend. Another priority was to help more participants invest their retirement savings in balanced portfolios.

The overall goal of this longtime client: Give employees a better chance to achieve financial security in retirement.

Today, that plan automatically enrolls employees at a 5% contribution rate, puts them in a low-cost target-date fund that takes on less risk as they near retirement, and offers a comprehensive suite of advice services. On top of that, employees get an employer contribution of 5% and are eligible for a company match.

Because of this combination of attractive features and generous employer contributions, nearly all new hires now participate in the plan, 81% of plan participants invest their retirement savings in balanced portfolios, and 87% of participants meet or exceed Vanguard’s recommended total retirement savings target. (Vanguard generally recommends that retirement investors save 12%–15% of pay, including company matches.)

Changing the retirement landscape

Am I singling out an isolated Vanguard success story? Absolutely not.

Stories like these are becoming increasingly common with employer-based retirement plans, particularly among large and midsize companies. Solutions such as automatic enrollment, automatic contribution increases, and default investment in target-date funds are having a positive effect.

Insights from the relatively new discipline of behavioral finance have contributed to the advances. Simply put, retirement plans are making natural human inertia work for future retirees, rather than against them, by putting savings on autopilot as much as possible.

More than 60% of Vanguard participants are in plans with automatic enrollment, which has led to a big jump in participation. Today, more than four-fifths of eligible employees are saving for retirement, compared with only two-thirds ten years ago.

In addition, many plans have adopted automatic-escalation features, which increase plan contributions at regular intervals until a maximum level is reached or an employee opts out. Automatic increases are a crucial tool for boosting retirement savings rates.

The growing use of target-date funds is another enormous benefit. More than 70% of all participants in Vanguard plans invest at least part of their retirement savings in

these age-appropriate, diversified strategies. And nearly 50% of Vanguard participants are invested solely in a single target-date fund.

Consider a do-it-yourself autopilot

But what if you don’t have access to a world-class, employer-based retirement plan? Unfortunately, not everyone does, which is an important policy issue.

However, you can still put the features of these plans to work. For example, you can set up automatic contributions from your paycheck to an IRA. And you can adopt your own automatic escalation by investing any pay raises.

You can also take a page from top-quality retirement plans by considering a low-cost, globally diversified target-date fund. The beauty of this approach is that you don’t need to remember to rebalance your portfolio—the fund does it for you.

Of course, you can take a more active role in picking your own investments, and this can be a good choice for some. But keep in mind the lessons from successful employer-based plans: Busy workers, faced with a lot of competing priorities, are often best served by putting their retirement savings on autopilot.

Winning by default

In highlighting some recent successes in retirement savings, I don’t want to minimize the challenges we still face. We’re living in a slow-growth, uncertain world, and investment returns for both stocks and bonds could well be modest in the coming decade.

But I believe the innovations we’ve seen in the last ten years in many retirement plans—you might call it the “default revolution”—point the way toward a solution. And that even goes for people whose employers don’t have a world-class retirement plan.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended February 28, 2017, Investor Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.33%, while Admiral Shares, with their lower expense ratio, returned 0.36%. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 0.19% and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund 0.17%. The results for all three funds exceeded the average returns of their peer groups.

The investment environment

The period opened on an optimistic note, with investors shrugging off subpar economic readings from the first half of 2016 as third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth exceeded estimates. The U.S. economy appeared to pick up steam, with the manufacturing and housing sectors reporting solid activity and the employment rate continuing to improve. Commodities, especially oil, regained some ground after price declines earlier in the year. Those developments most likely played a large part in the Federal Reserve’s decision in December to raise the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point, to 0.5%–0.75%—only the second increase in a decade.

That optimism carried over to the U.S. stock market as investors anticipated stronger growth and higher inflation, even as fourth-quarter GDP growth disappointed. The earlier economic improvement and the prospect of more infrastructure spending, greater deregulation, and possible tax-code changes under the new administration

helped fuel a shift toward riskier assets, propelling stocks to record highs in early 2017.

Corporate bonds, especially those of lower quality and with longer maturities, also saw strong demand, pushing their prices higher and their yields lower. The average yield on corporates dropped to 115 basis points (bps) over U.S. Treasuries at the end of the period, from 135 bps at the beginning. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

In contrast, demand for Treasuries slumped, lifting their yields. Over the six months, the bellwether 10-year Treasury yield jumped 81 bps to 2.39%, and the 30-year yield rose 77 bps to 3.00%. The 2-year Treasury yield climbed 45 bps to 1.26%. Yields of money market-eligible securities also increased.

As the period closed, yields moved up further as markets interpreted comments from Fed officials about employment and inflation expectations to mean that the next increase in the federal funds rate was likely to come at the Fed’s March meeting. And in fact, on March 15, the Fed raised it by another quarter percentage point, to 0.75%–1%, while projecting two more rate hikes this year.

Abroad during the fund’s reporting period, major central banks kept their monetary policies accommodative. The Bank of Japan continued to charge a negative

6

 

interest rate on the excess reserves of financial institutions, a policy intended to complement its other efforts to spur growth and ward off deflation. As the period closed, there were signs that these efforts may be working, as Japan’s consumer price index rose for the first time in more than a year.

Management of the fund

The period coincided with the final implementation of new money market regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2014. Under the rules, all three Vanguard funds covered in this report seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share.

Because it is designated a retail fund, Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund can impose liquidity fees and redemption “gates,” designed to help keep funds stable during times of extreme market stress. Please note that we manage our funds conservatively and seek to maintain liquidity above the levels at which fees and gates would be triggered. (See the box on page 9 for more details.)

In the run-up to the rules’ final compliance deadline in October, more than $1 trillion in assets industrywide moved to government money market funds from prime money market funds, leading yield spreads to widen between short-term government securities and bank certificates of deposit. In the weeks before implementation, we took steps to prepare for the volatility,

including maintaining the funds’ liquidity in excess of SEC targets and shortening the weighted average maturity. These measures allowed us to provide maximum safety and liquidity.

Since then, we have taken advantage of market movements to make slight changes to the portfolios. In anticipation of rising interest rates, we began adding to the Prime Money Market Fund floating-rate debt that resets periodically at prevailing market rates. We also reduced that fund’s exposure to government securities in favor of bank debt maturing within one week.

As the spread between Treasury and agency securities has narrowed, we’ve been diversifying the Federal Money Market Fund’s portfolio by adding to its Treasury exposure. We also added to floating-rate agency notes when spreads allowed us to capture value.

We’ve been managing the Treasury Money Market Fund’s average maturity in anticipation of higher interest rates. We are also closely monitoring any debate about the debt ceiling that may occur later this year and that could affect the markets.

A look ahead

Absent an unexpected external shock, the U.S. economy looks to continue its steady growth. Real GDP is likely to be about 2% in 2017, or maybe closer to 2.5% if policies prove expansionary. As the labor market moves closer to the Fed’s full employment

7

 

target, competition for labor could push the pace of annual wage increases into the 3%–4% range. That should fan inflation in the short term, but not to the point of overheating.

We’re encouraged by the Fed’s decision to continue the process of normalizing rates, which have been near zero since 2009. Although the federal funds rate could increase to 1.25%–1.5% by the end of 2017, we nevertheless think the Fed will maintain its dovish tightening approach, given the anti-inflationary forces still at work in the global economy.

Although corporate fundamentals stand to benefit from the new administration’s agenda, we’re also closely monitoring

developments that could negatively affect our outlook. These include trade and immigration policy, political developments in Europe, and further weakness in the Chinese economy.

Regardless of what the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the funds’ performance while keeping the safety of your investment paramount.

Money market reform: What’s changed and what hasn’t

The final phase of money market reform took effect on October 14, 2016, the compliance date for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new rules designed to enhance the stability and resilience of all money market funds.

Under the rules, Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund qualifies as a retail fund, and Vanguard Federal and Treasury Money Market Funds are government funds, which means all three will seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share. (Institutional money market funds, which have floating share prices, are not offered by Vanguard.)

We now report the funds’ weekly liquid assets, daily market value to four decimal places, and daily net shareholder cash flow. (See your fund’s Portfolio & Management tab on vanguard.com.)

Two other changes for the Prime Money Market Fund involve liquidity fees and redemption “gates,” tools to help keep funds stable during times of extreme market duress. These tools are not required for government funds.

A fee of up to 2% may be imposed by the fund’s board on the sale of shares if the fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below specified thresholds of its total assets. (The SEC has strict definitions for “liquid” assets; generally this refers to assets that can be sold in the normal course of business with little impact on their price.) The fee would reduce the dollar amount you receive for your redemption.

A gate is a temporary suspension of redemptions. The board may impose either fees or gates or both. Please note that we manage our funds conservatively and seek to maintain liquidity above the levels at which fees and gates would be imposed. You can learn more in your fund’s prospectus, available at vanguard.com.

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. The fund is only available to retail investors (natural persons). You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Effective December 2015, Institutional Shares were renamed Admiral Shares.

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. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counter-parties. 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 counter-party’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.

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended February 28, 2017, 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. 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

26

 

Prime Money Market Fund

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 February 28, 2017, or at any time during the period then ended.

6. 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.

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. 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 February 28, 2017, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $7,175,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.87% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield in order 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. The fund is not obligated to repay this amount to Vanguard. For the period ended February 28, 2017, the fund did not receive an expense reduction from 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).

27

 

Prime Money Market Fund

At February 28, 2017, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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.

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. You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

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. 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. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counter-parties. 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 counter-party’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.

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended February 28, 2017, 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. 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.

40

 

Federal Money Market Fund

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2017, or at any time during the period then ended.

6. 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. 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 February 28, 2017, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $4,981,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.99% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield in order 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. The fund is not obligated to repay this amount to Vanguard. For the period ended February 28, 2017, the fund did not receive an expense reduction from 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).

At February 28, 2017, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2017, that would require 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. You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Treasury Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard 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. 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. 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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended February 28, 2017, 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. 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 February 28, 2017, or at any time during the period then ended.

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. 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.

49

 

Treasury Money Market Fund

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At February 28, 2017, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,050,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.42% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield in order 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. The fund is not obligated to repay this amount to Vanguard. For the period ended February 28, 2017, the fund did not receive an expense reduction from 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).

At February 28, 2017, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2017, that would require 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 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.

Treasury Money Market Fund $1,000.00 $1,024.35 $0.45

 

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for the
period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.16% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund,
0.11%; and for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.09%. 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 (181/365).

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.

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.

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 195 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. 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.
