* Non-income-producing security.
1 Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At February 28, 2010, the aggregate value of these securities was $409,321,000, representing 23.7% of net assets.
2 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain trusts and accounts managed by Vanguard. Rate shown is the 7-day yield.

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. Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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.

B. 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).



Convertible Securities Fund

The following table summarizes the fund's investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Convertible Bonds 1,552,846
Convertible Preferred Stocks 149,071
Temporary Cash Investments 11,408
Total 160,479 1,552,846

C. At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,551,296,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $162,029,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $180,175,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $18,146,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
