Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Bond market returns were disappointing in the six months ended May 31, 2013. Gains early in 2013 were bookended by sell-offs in December and May. Questions about when the Federal Reserve might scale back its bond-buying stimulus program led interest rates to climb in the period’s closing weeks, making it the worst May for municipal bonds in more than two decades.

Against this backdrop, Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax Exempt Fund returned –1.56% for Investor Shares and –1.52% for Admiral Shares for the six months. Rising interest rates pushed bond prices down, producing a –3.26% capital return for Investor Shares that was only partly offset by a 1.70% return from interest income.

The Long-Term Fund’s results lagged the benchmark index’s –1.32% return and the –1.42% average return of New Jersey tax-exempt funds. The somewhat longer maturity of the fund’s holdings weighed on six-month performance. It’s worth noting that similar positioning served shareholders well during the 2012 fiscal year, when interest rates fell.

The New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.01% for the period, reflecting the Fed’s four-year-old policy of holding the shortest-term interest rates near zero.

As municipal bond prices fell, yields rose. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) The 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares of the Long-Term Fund increased from 1.94% on November 30, 2012, to 2.19% on May 31, 2013. The Money Market Fund’s 7-day SEC yield was almost unchanged at 0.01%.

Please note: The funds are permitted to invest in securities whose income is subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). As of May 31, the Long-Term Fund owned no securities that would generate income distributions subject to the AMT, but the Money Market Fund did.

Bond returns retreated as yields jumped in May
Bonds, which had clung to a modestly positive return over the previous few months, dipped into negative territory in May. Rising home prices contributed to the sell-off. Comments by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke also disconcerted investors; he told Congress that the central bank might decide in coming months to curtail its massive bond-buying program.

Both the broad U.S. taxable bond market and the broad municipal market returned –1.1% for the six months ended May 31.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note closed the period at 2.11%, low by historical measures but considerably higher than the April-end yield of 1.67%.

Stocks were strong globally, but Japan’s market turned volatile
Stocks worldwide performed robustly over the half year despite giving back some gains in the period’s final weeks. The overall return was about 12%. U.S. stocks, spared some of the international turbulence, increased nearly 17% as the economy kept slowly improving.

Developed-market stocks in the Pacific region returned about 14% and those in Europe about 10%, while emerging-market equities crept up about 1%. Although Japanese stocks climbed more than 20% for the period, they sank by more than 5% in May as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic recovery plan hit some unexpected bumps.

Joe Davis, Vanguard’s chief economist, recently noted that stimulative central bank policies in the United States, Japan, and Europe have affected financial markets substantially and “boosted investor psychology and business psychology to some extent.” Central banks have engaged in bond-buying on a massive scale to hold down long-term interest rates and thus encourage business and consumer borrowing. Joe did voice concern that

“the sheer size” of central bank actions may be distorting investors’ decisions and leading some to take undue risk.

Although challenges continue, state and local finances improved
Despite some well-publicized exceptions, such as in Detroit and Illinois (now the state with the lowest credit rating on its general obligation bonds), the economies and finances of many state and local governments have continued to improve. This has been largely true in New Jersey, notwithstanding the devastating effects of last October’s Hurricane Sandy, which dealt a severe blow to the state’s residents

Investment insight
 
What might tax-exempt bonds return in the future?
It’s often said that a bond’s current yield to maturity—its rate of return if held until
the bond matures—is a good indicator of the total return you will realize on the bond.
The chart below compares the historical yields of municipal bonds nationwide (the
dotted line) with their average total return over the succeeding ten years (the solid
line) to show how closely they’ve tracked each other in the past. (In other words, the
data point on the solid line for December 31, 2002, represents the average annual
return for the ten years ended December 31, 2012.) At the close of the period,
municipal bond yields hovered near historical lows, suggesting that future returns
will be much more modest than those earned in recent years.

and struggling economy. New Jersey’s unemployment rate, which more than doubled during the Great Recession to nearly 10%, remained persistently high until it improved significantly during the half year, dropping by a full percentage point to 8.6% (preliminary) in May.

Another positive indicator was state tax revenues, which increased about 9% in the first calendar quarter of 2013 over the same period in 2012 (based on preliminary estimates from the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government). This was a welcome addition to the state’s depleted coffers, even though New Jersey has one of the nation’s highest tax burdens. Governor Chris Christie’s proposed fiscal 2014 budget contained no tax cuts; lawmakers have tried to budget cautiously amid uncertainty about federal fiscal policy and the sequester’s effect on the state.

New Jersey bucked the national trend of relatively light municipal bond supply. Boosted by a combination of refinancing, refunding, and new-money deals, the total dollar volume of municipals issued in the state in the first five months of 2013 was more than 90% above year-ago levels.

New Jersey municipal bonds, like those nationwide, generally performed well after Congress addressed some of the “fiscal cliff” uncertainty at the turn of the new year. Even as record highs in the stock market lured some investors away, demand for municipal bonds was healthy.

Many investors seemed willing to take on more risk for higher potential return—a bias that especially benefited longer-maturity and lower-quality bonds. But like other bonds, municipals were affected when interest rates increased in May.

In this environment, the New Jersey Long-Term Tax Exempt Fund fell behind its benchmark and the average return of peer funds. As interest rates rose, the fund’s heavier exposure to 10- to 20-year bonds restrained its return. The advisor also continued to prefer securities with higher credit ratings, which lagged lower-quality bonds.

Please note that after the close of the period, Mathew Kiselak assumed day-today responsibilities for the Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, replacing Michael Kobs.

Bonds remain a key element of a diversified portfolio
The bond market enjoyed decades of robust returns against a backdrop of falling interest rates, tame inflation, and, at times, investors’ search for a safe harbor from stock market volatility.

But those hoping to see this happen again soon are likely to be disappointed. Although yields have ticked up of late, they are still not far off historical lows. This doesn’t just mean that bonds are generating modest income; it also means that there’s little room for them to appreciate in price, because yields and prices move in opposite directions.

And if interest rates rise substantially, bonds may well deliver more negative returns—as many did in the last six months.

Although reducing your bond allocation and waiting in the wings might seem prudent, there are good reasons to think twice before making any abrupt shifts in your portfolio. Research has shown that trying to time the markets—in this case, to make the right calls on when to get out of bonds and when to get back into them—doesn’t often work out well.

Keep in mind, too, that reducing the amount of bonds in an otherwise well-balanced portfolio inevitably increases your volatility risk. That’s because the bond component plays an essential role in helping to cushion the impact of volatility in the stock component, especially during steep downturns in the equity market.

That point was made in a recent Vanguard research paper examining the impact of low bond returns on a balanced portfolio. “The diversification benefits of bonds in a stock/bond portfolio will likely persist,” authors Francis Kinniry and Brian Scott wrote. “This feature, more than projected returns, justifies a strategic allocation to bonds.” (You can find the full report, Reducing Bonds?

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended May 31, 2013, Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.01%, compared with the average 0.00% return of peer-group funds. Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned –1.56% for Investor Shares and –1.52% for Admiral Shares. The Long-Term Fund lagged its benchmark (the Barclays New Jersey Municipal Bond Index), which returned –1.32%, and the –1.42% average return of its peers.

The investment environment
The fiscal half year was difficult for the municipal bond market, primarily because of investor skittishness at the start and end of the period. In late May, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress that the Fed might decide in the coming months to scale back its stimulative program of buying $85 billion a month of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

Although the chairman’s brief remark was ambiguous—no specific timetable, amounts, targets, or economic trigger points were mentioned—Treasury and other taxable bond markets reacted negatively, and municipal bonds followed suit. Yields, especially those of longer-term bonds, rose sharply. Bond prices, which move inversely to changes in yields, fell substantially. The downdraft was surprising because May has historically been a good month for municipal bonds as a result of seasonal supply-and-demand factors.

(Shortly after our reporting period ended, Mr. Bernanke was more expansive. He said the Fed might start scaling back bond purchases later in 2013, possibly ending the program by mid-2014.)

The bond market in May mirrored that of December, when investors were unnerved by the potential economic consequences associated with the “fiscal cliff” negotiations and by a proposal to curb the federal tax exemption on municipal bond income. Municipal bond returns recovered somewhat, despite some March volatility, only to run into the May jitters.

The Fed’s bond actions have aimed to reduce the yields of longer- and intermediate-term bonds. Its parallel policy for short-term interest rates, in place since December 2008, has maintained a target for the federal funds rate between 0% and 0.25%. This, of course, is why the yields of Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and other money market funds remain suppressed. The central bank is expected to keep short-term rates at ultralow levels until the stubbornly high unemployment rate falls significantly.

In light of those policies, yield-starved investors had been willing to take on more risk, including buying bonds with longer maturities—especially those that are callable—and lower credit quality. May’s plummet in prices and increases in yield affected longer-maturity bonds the most because of their greater sensitivity to rate increases. Lower-quality bonds continued to outperform those of higher quality, producing positive, though not stellar, returns during the half year.

For bond issuers, low interest rates are a different story. Such rates have enabled state and local governments to refinance outstanding higher-cost debt and reduce the debt-service burden on stressed budgets, though there are signs that this tactic may be running its course. They also make the financing of new projects less costly. New Jersey and other issuers, however, have been approaching these “new money” bonds cautiously because they are still shoring up their finances in the wake of the Great Recession. State and local governments typically recover from recessions with a lag, and this latest slump was unusually severe.

Even so, a recovery is proceeding. One gauge is the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank’s index of coincident economic indicators. For each state, the index incorporates payroll employment, the jobless rate, average hours worked in manufacturing, and inflation-adjusted wage and salary disbursements. From the recession’s trough, the index for New Jersey—which was battered by Hurricane Sandy last October—has risen slightly less than the nation’s as a whole.

Management of the funds
In an effort to capture interest income for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund at a time of protracted low rates, we have been emphasizing bonds with

9


 

maturities of 10 to 20 years, a strategy that has helped for some time. This worked against the fund during the period, though, because yields rose the most for longer-maturity bonds. The overweighting of longer-term bonds was accompanied by an underweighting of bonds with maturities under 5 years. Some of the latter bonds experienced smaller yield increases (and smaller price declines). Overall, the fund’s maturity positioning held back its results relative to those of its benchmark and peers.

Another factor in the fund’s under-performance was its more conservative focus on higher-quality securities. As noted above, bonds with lower credit ratings (and hence higher yields) were more in demand and generally performed better.

Nationwide, tax-exempt bond issuance in the first five months of 2013 was modestly lower than year-ago levels. That was not so, though, in New Jersey, where the total dollar volume of bonds—including new-money issues, refinancings, and refundings—was more than 90% above year-ago levels. The increase was driven by a handful of large offerings, including billion-dollar-plus sales by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. Our selective purchases enabled us to add to the fund’s portfolio of bonds with maturities of more than 10 years.

As you would expect, the Fed’s tight lid on short-term interest rates presented yet another challenge for the Money Market Fund. Nevertheless, we were able to improve returns using several relative value and income strategies involving credit sectors, security selection, and structural opportunities, such as adding floating-rate notes.

A look ahead
As the economy improves and the Fed eventually tapers off its bond-buying program, we expect interest rates to become more volatile. Investors are likely to keep reaching for yield, especially if short-term rates remain near zero. We expect lower-quality bonds to continue to outperform but ultimately to become overvalued; accordingly, we plan to gradually reduce our exposure to them.

We still favor sectors, such as health care, that provide relative value opportunities. Even if today’s low yields persist, we are confident that our deep bench of analysts, traders, and portfolio managers can keep adding value to the funds.

New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt 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 debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: 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 income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2009–2012), and for the period ended May 31, 2013, 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. 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At May 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $205,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 so as 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. For the period ended May 31, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $131,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets).

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).

New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund

At May 31, 2013, 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. In preparing the financial statements as of May 31, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state. 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.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: 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. 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 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.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the fund’s average value of options written and options purchased represented 0% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average market values. The fund had no open options on futures contracts at May 31, 2013.

New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2009–2012), and for the period ended May 31, 2013, 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. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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) 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At May 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $263,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.11% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of 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).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of May 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Tax-Exempt Municipal Bonds 2,094,354
Futures Contracts—Assets1 137
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (273)
Total (136) 2,094,354
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At May 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2013 885 114,359 (127)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond September 2013 (255) (35,708) 73

 

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at November 30, 2012, the fund had available capital losses totaling $20,927,000 to offset future net capital gains of $5,490,000 through November 30, 2016, $10,333,000 through November 30, 2017, and $5,104,000 through November 30, 2019. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending November 30, 2013; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At May 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,977,994,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $116,360,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $128,844,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $12,484,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended May 31, 2013, the fund purchased $316,116,000 of investment securities and sold $335,954,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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.

Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,024.33 0.61

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, 0.14%; and for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. (The six-month expense ratio for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund reflects a temporary reduction in operating expenses, described in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements. Before the reduction, the fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio was 0.16%.) 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index (as applicable) and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the funds’ most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the funds’ advisory fee rates were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.

The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard, because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the funds’ at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

7-Day SEC Yield and 30-Day SEC Yield. 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. For other funds, 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.

Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.

Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.

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.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

57


 

Credit Quality. For Vanguard money market funds, the Distribution by Credit Quality table includes tier ratings for consistency with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds. A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations by the requisite nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. A Second Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and is not a First Tier security. For Vanguard tax-exempt bond funds, credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

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.

R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 182 Vanguard funds.

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