VANGUARD PROXY INFORMATION
All Vanguard(R) funds will hold a Special Meeting of Shareholders on July 2,
2009, in Scottsdale, Arizona. The funds' trustees are asking shareholders to
approve several proposals at the meeting. For the most part, the proposals
involve updating and standardizing your funds' investment policies to allow
Vanguard to serve your needs most effectively in changing market environments.
In addition, a core part of the proxy statement is a proposal to elect trustees
for all Vanguard funds. Eight of the ten nominees are wholly independent of
Vanguard management. The only "inside" nominees are John J. Brennan (who served
as an officer of Vanguard from 1989 through August 2008) and F. William McNabb
III (president and chief executive officer of Vanguard). Seven of the eight
independent nominees already serve as Vanguard fund trustees.
--------------------------------------------
KEY DATES FOR THE 2009 PROXY
SEC Filing: March 6, 2009
Record Date: April 6, 2009
Proxies mailed: After April 6, 2009
Meeting Date: July 2, 2009
--------------------------------------------
Also, shareholders of certain funds are being asked to vote against a proposal
submitted by one or more shareholders.
This proxy is considered preliminary prior to SEC approval.
PROPOSALS IN BRIEF
Shareholders of all Vanguard funds are being asked to vote on a number of
proposals. Not all proposals apply to each fund. The table shows each proposal
and the specific Vanguard funds to which it applies. Only shareholders of record
on April 6, 2009, are entitled to vote on a fund's
proposals.
VOTES NEEDED TO ELECT TRUSTEES
Shareholders of funds that are part of the same trust will elect their trustees
on a joint basis. For each trust, the ten nominees receiving the highest number
of affirmative votes cast at the meeting will be elected. A nominee will not be
elected, however, if more votes are cast against than for him or her.
VOTES NEEDED FOR PROPOSALS 2, 3, AND 4
Shareholders of each fund will vote separately on each proposal applicable to
that fund. For a proposal to pass for a fund, it must be approved by the lesser
of (i) shares representing 67% or more of the fund's net assets voted, so long
as shares representing more than 50% of the fund's net assets are present or
represented by proxy; or (ii) shares representing more than 50% of the fund's
net assets.
PROXY SOLICITATION COSTS
Each fund will pay all costs of soliciting proxies from its shareholders,
including costs relating to the printing, mailing, and tabulation of proxies.
Computershare Fund Services (CFS) has been engaged to assist in the solicitation
process. By voting in a timely fashion, you can help your fund avoid the
considerable expense of a second proxy solicitation.
QUORUM
Each fund must achieve a quorum in order for the shareholder meeting to go
forward. This means that a majority of a fund's shares (or 25% in the case of
Vanguard Market Neutral Fund) must be
represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. All returned proxies
count toward a quorum, regardless of how they are voted ("For," "Against," or
"Abstain"). The funds will count abstentions and broker non-votes toward
establishing a quorum, but not toward the approval of any proposals. (A broker
non-vote is a proxy received from a broker who holds fund shares on behalf of an
investor, but who does not have discretionary power to vote the shares on the
investor's behalf, indicating that the broker has not received instructions from
the investor on the matter at issue.)

* Shareholders of each fund will be asked to approve the adoption of a
uniform set of fundamental policies that conform to the parameters that
Congress and the SEC have established for the prudent regulation of mutual
funds. The uniform fundamental policies we are proposing to adopt include
only those policies that the Investment Company Act requires to be
fundamental. These include policies on borrowing money, purchasing and
selling commodities, concentrating investments in a particular industry or
group of industries, making loans, purchasing and selling real estate,
issuing senior securities, and underwriting securities. This will also
result in the elimination of many existing fundamental policies: investing
in illiquid securities; investing in a company for the purpose of
controlling its management; purchasing securities on margin or selling
securities short; investing in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or
development programs; pledging, mortgaging, or hypothecating fund assets;
purchasing and selling put and call options and warrants; engage in
arbitrage; investing in unseasoned companies; investing in assessable
securities; investing in securities if certain persons associated with the
fund own more than specified amounts of the same security; investing in
securities other than municipal securities (applicable only to certain
municipal bond funds); engaging in transactions with certain persons
associated with the fund (applicable only to one fund); and owning
non-tax-exempt securities (applicable only to the state tax-exempt funds).

Proxy Filing FAS broker-dealer e-mail March 10 doc
Subject: Vanguard files proxy statement with SEC
Dear Vanguard Financial Advisor Services Client:
Today, Vanguard filed a proxy statement with the SEC. A core part of the proxy
statement is a proposal to elect trustees for all Vanguard(R) funds. As the
proxy explains, the proposals include updating and standardizing the funds'
investment policies to allow Vanguard to serve its clients' needs most
effectively.
For more information about the proxy, please go to:
---------------------------------
http://www.vanguard.com/proxy
---------------------------------
The proxy explains how shareholders can vote on these proposals, whether on the
Internet, by phone, by mail, or by attending a special meeting of Vanguard fund
shareholders on July 2, 2009 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Any person or entity that
owns shares of a Vanguard fund on the record date, April 6, 2009, may cast a
vote, even if that shareholder later sells those shares.
We encourage all clients to exercise their right concerning the governance of
Vanguard funds by reviewing the proxy statement and then casting a vote. We have
provided the link above for your reference should your clients have questions
regarding the proxy.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to the proxy. If you have any
questions, please contact your Vanguard Relationship Manager or a Vanguard
Financial Advisor Services Representative at 800-997-2798 or
intermediaries@vanguard.com.
