A. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on
the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the
valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales
prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which
each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are
valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have
been materially affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time
but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by
methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net
asset value.

B. Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn
the total return on selected reference stocks in the fund's target index.
Under the terms of the swaps, the fund receives the total return on the
referenced stock (i.e., receiving the increase or paying the decrease in

value of the selected reference stock and receiving the equivalent of any
dividends in respect of the selected referenced stock) over a specified
period of time, applied to a notional amount that represents the value of a
designated number of shares of the selected reference stock at the
beginning of the equity swap contract. The fund also pays a floating rate
that is based on short-term interest rates, applied to the notional amount.
At the same time, the fund generally invests an amount approximating the
notional amount of the swap in high-quality temporary cash investments.

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Schedule of
Investments. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received
from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in
value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until
termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.

A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a
counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the
fund. The fund's maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the
unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its
counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of
prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering
into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its
counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In
the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund
cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. In the event of a
counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any
swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by
either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell
or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under
the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions
whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund's net
assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if
the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The
payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any
securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the
Schedule of Investments. The value of collateral received or pledged is
compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each
counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum
transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

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). Any
investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the
Schedule of Investments.
