CEO’s Perspective


Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

As I begin my tenure as Vanguard’s fourth chief executive, I’ve been reflecting on both the past and the future of the company where I have spent my entire professional career.

I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.

Making a real difference

When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.

It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.

We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. Over the past 25 years, for example, Vanguard has lowered our funds’ asset-weighted average expense ratio

3


 

from 0.31% to 0.12%. And over the past decade, 94% of our funds have beaten the average annual return of their peers.1

Focused on your success

Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—as a client-owned company, we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my role as CEO, I intend to keep this priority front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.

As I write this, we’ve experienced a period of pronounced market volatility. Strong economic growth and budding signs of inflation have raised concerns about a more aggressive Federal Reserve. Although volatility can test investors’ nerves, we sometimes think of this as “Vanguard weather”—a time when having a disciplined, low-cost, and long-term approach to investment management serves investors well.

Steady, time-tested guidance

Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.

Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.

Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended February 28, 2018, Investor Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.63%, while Admiral Shares, with their lower expense ratio, returned 0.66%. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 0.56% and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund 0.55%. Each fund exceeded the average returns of its peer group.

The investment environment

Congress passed a tax reform bill during the period, overcoming political debate that had waylaid much of the administration’s agenda throughout 2017. Investors pushed U.S. stocks to new highs as the economy remained on solid footing and companies recorded strong profits.

The Federal Reserve acknowledged the health of the economy in December, when it raised interest rates in its third hike of 2017. This brought the target range for the federal funds rate to 1.25%–1.5%. The Fed also began reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, signaling its intent to normalize monetary policy.

Early in 2018, however, a surge in volatility caught investors off guard. Although there was no single catalyst, the volatility was likely the by-product of the resilient U.S. economy. Investors worried that record-low unemployment would lead to higher wages, triggering price inflation—which would in turn cause the Federal Reserve under new chair Jerome Powell to raise rates at a more aggressive pace than anticipated.

Although volatility eventually moderated in the United States and other markets, concern remained as the period closed.

There are ample reasons for such concerns. The U.S. economy made up for a sluggish start to the year with stronger growth later on. Gross domestic product grew at a rate of 2.3% in 2017, up from 1.5% in 2016. The unemployment rate continued to grind lower, hovering at 4.1% at the end of February compared with 4.2% at the beginning of September and 4.8% 12 months earlier. And although wage growth and inflation didn’t accelerate, there were signs the two measures were on the upswing.

Fed action contributed to a significant increase in short-term yields. The 2-year U.S. Treasury note rose 76 basis points over the period to 2.25% and the 5-year note rose 70 basis points to 2.64%. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.) Longer-term yields, which are more affected by market expectations for growth and inflation, moved less. The yield of the bellwether 10-year Treasury note was lower than where it started for a good part of the year, but it finished up 53 basis points at 2.86%.

Continued growth in business revenue and earnings, a reduction in corporate tax rates, and investor thirst for yield all supported demand for investment-grade corporate bonds. The picture was somewhat nuanced, however, with long-dated bonds and those rated BBB generally faring best.

Management of the funds

The six months were characterized by a surge in volatility throughout global markets. In the past, we’ve had success using the funds’ liquidity to our advantage in such environments—most recently in 2016, when compliance with new money market regulations triggered the movement of more than $1 trillion in assets industrywide to government money market funds from prime money market funds. We were similarly opportunistic during this period.

In the Prime Money Market Fund, we continued to add exposure to floating-rate securities as a way to position the fund for a rising interest rate environment. These debt securities reset, typically every month, at prevailing interest rates. They generated positive performance as the Fed raised rates three times in 2017, including a hike in the middle of the period. Market volatility also allowed us to purchase high-quality short-term corporate bonds and bank debt at attractive prices. In recent months we have added bonds from companies outside the United States, which enhances the fund’s diversification.

The floating-rate securities theme carried over to the Federal Money Market and Treasury Money Market Funds. In the Federal Money Market Fund, we increased our exposure to floating-rate agency securities. In the Treasury fund, we added to our floating-rate Treasury positions. (We also increased the Treasury exposure in the Federal Money Market Fund.) These moves allowed us to generate incremental yield while maintaining the funds’ short maturity profiles.

A look ahead

Despite long-term structural challenges posed by, among other things, the pace of productivity growth, demographic trends, and the impact of new technologies, the U.S. economy is on pace to break above its long-term potential growth rate to around 2.5% in 2018.

The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since 2000 and is likely to move even lower. While it’s taken longer than expected, we have seen some indications lately that the tight labor market is putting some upward pressure on wages. That, along with stable and broader global growth, may well lead to a cyclical upswing in inflation, a scenario the financial markets are now beginning to price in. Recent weakness in the U.S. dollar will also likely bolster core inflation metrics, albeit moderately and over the course of the next year. Our long-term outlook, which calls for tepid inflation, remains unchanged.

Against such a backdrop, the Fed would be justified in raising the federal funds rate to at least 2% by the end of 2018. Barring unexpected economic data or unintended consequences from tapering in the bond market, the central bank will probably want to stick to its framework and timetable for reducing its balance sheet.

7


 

Volatility has recently picked up from the very low levels we’ve been experiencing for some time, bringing with it more opportunities to take advantage of price dislocations in the market. Rising inflation expectations seem to have been the trigger, but other potential developments could also fuel volatility: midterm elections, stalled or scuttled trade negotiations, and flare-ups in geopolitical tensions, to name a few. In addition, as 2018 unfolds, we anticipate a convergence of monetary policy, with central banks adopting a less accommodative stance—some raising rates, some planning to raise rates, some reducing quantitative easing.

While spreads have become very tight, U.S. corporate bonds could get some support from pension and life insurance companies drawn back into the market for longer-term securities now that yields for these securities have moved higher. U.S.

corporates should also remain attractive to international investors, given their yield advantage. And the new tax bill could prove supportive to prices if the repatriation of profits results in reduced bond issuance.

It’s worth restating that investors should look beyond short-term volatility and adhere to their long-term investment strategies. And keep in mind the silver lining in higher rates for long-term investors—namely, that coupon payments and proceeds from maturing bonds can be reinvested at higher rates.

Fund shareholders did not approve the following proposal:

Proposal 7—Institute transparent procedures to avoid holding investments in companies that, in management’s judgment, substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity, the most egregious violations of human rights. Such procedures may include time-limited engagement with problem companies if management believes that their behavior can be changed.

The trustees recommended a vote against the proposal for the following reasons: (1) Vanguard is fully compliant with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations that prohibit the investment in any company owned or controlled by the government of Sudan; (2) the addition of further investment constraints is not in fund shareholders’ best interests if those constraints are unrelated to a fund’s stated investment objective, policies, and strategies; and (3) divestment is an ineffective means to implement social change, as it often puts the shares into the hands of another owner with no direct impact to the company’s capitalization.

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 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon 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.

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 Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. 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. 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, 2014–2017), and for the period ended February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, 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.

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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At February 28, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $5,001,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.00% 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, 2018, 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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 Statement of Net Assets.

At February 28, 2018, 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 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 counterparties. 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 counterparty’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, 2014–2017), and for the period ended February 28, 2018, 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.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.

42


 

Federal Money Market Fund

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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At February 28, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $4,519,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.81% 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, 2018, 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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 Statement of Net Assets.

At February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 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, 2014–2017), and for the period ended February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, 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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.

51


 

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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $836,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.33% 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 six months ended February 28, 2018, 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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant 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 Statement of Net Assets.

At February 28, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 208 Vanguard funds.

Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. 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.
