Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• For the six months ended May 31, 2018, Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 0.98% for Investor Shares and 1.03% for Admiral Shares. Those results slightly exceeded the 0.95% return of the Bloomberg Barclays NJ Municipal Bond Index and trailed the average 1.32% return of the fund’s peers. Vanguard New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund gained 0.56%; the average return of its peers was 0.44%.

• Municipal securities went through a bumpy patch as tax legislation passed in December affected both supply and demand, but investor demand for New Jersey’s new issuance was strong.

• The Long-Term Fund’s performance drivers included a modestly overweighted allocation to longer-maturity bonds and a tilt toward bonds with A and AA ratings. The fund’s sector allocations were overweighted in hospital and university offerings and underweighted in transportation.

7-day SEC yield for the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund; 30-day SEC yield for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund.

The calculation of taxable-equivalent yield is based on the 2018 maximum federal tax rate of 40.8% (which combines 37.0%, the highest federal marginal tax bracket effective for 2018, and the 3.8% Medicare tax on investment income) and the maximum income tax rate for the state. Local taxes were not considered. This calculation also assumes that investors do not itemize deductions, including state taxes, on their federal return. Please see the prospectus dated March 28, 2018, for a detailed explanation of the methodology used in the calculation.

Admiral Shares carry lower expenses and are available to investors who meet certain account-balance requirements.

For the six months ended May 31, 2018, the funds’ annualized expense ratios were: for the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund, 0.16%; and for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.18% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Admiral Shares. Peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper, a Thomson Reuters Company, and capture information through year-end 2017.

Peer groups: For the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund, Other States Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds; for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds. In most, if not all, cases, the expense ratios for funds in the money market peer group are based on net operating expenses after reimbursement and/or fee waivers by fund sponsors. In contrast, the Vanguard money market fund’s expense ratio in the table above does not reflect expense reductions.

CEO’s Perspective


Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

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.

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 also 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. We have lowered the costs of investing for our shareholders significantly. And we’re proud of the performance of our funds.

Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—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’ll 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.

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,


Mortimer J. Buckley

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended May 31, 2018, Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 0.98% for Investor Shares and 1.03% for Admiral Shares. Those results surpassed the 0.95% return of the Bloomberg Barclays NJ Municipal Bond Index and the 0.71% return of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index but fell short of the 1.32% average return of peer funds.

Municipal bond yields increased across the board; prices declined most at the long end. For both Investor and Admiral Shares, the capital return was –0.78%. Return from income was 1.76% for Investor Shares and 1.81% for Admiral Shares. The Long-Term Fund’s 30-day SEC yield

rose 36 basis points to 3.08% for Investor Shares and 33 basis points to 3.15% for Admiral Shares. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

Vanguard New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund gained 0.56%, outpacing the 0.44% average return of its peers. Yields for tax-exempt money market instruments also moved higher, and the fund’s 7-day SEC yield rose 25 basis points to 1.07%.

Please note that the funds are permitted to invest in securities that can generate income distributions subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). At the end of the fiscal period, only the Money Market Fund owned such securities.

The investment environment

Macroeconomic fundamentals were sound throughout the period. The U.S. economy continued to expand amid solid business investment and consumer spending. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.8% in May, its lowest level since 2000. Job creation averaged close to 200,000 per month and reached 223,000 in May—leaving more jobs available than there were job seekers. Global growth provided an additional boost.

The Federal Reserve, acknowledging the health of the economy, moved further down the path toward monetary policy normalization. It proceeded with shrinking the $4.5 trillion balance sheet it had amassed as part of the monetary stimulus it began providing in the wake of the 2007–2009 recession. It also raised the federal funds target rate by a quarter percentage point in December under then-Chair Janet Yellen and again in March under her successor, Jerome Powell. (The Fed raised the rate another quarter-percentage point in June to a range of 1.75% to 2.00%.)

But investors abruptly began to see the glass as half-empty toward the end of January. Long-awaited signs of wage increases and higher inflation, coupled with the outlook for faster growth from tax cuts and increased government spending, raised concerns that the Fed might start raising interest rates more aggressively. Brewing trade tensions and geopolitical flare-ups added to the downbeat mood.

Market volatility spiked, stocks dropped sharply from record highs, and bond yields rose.

The U.S. muni market also had to contend with the new federal tax law enacted in late December. One significant change is that municipalities can no longer issue tax-exempt bonds to advance-refund outstanding debt. There was also concern—which proved unfounded—that the law would no longer let municipalities issue tax-exempt private activity bonds to fund public benefit projects such as hospitals and airports. With municipalities rushing to issue both advance refunding and private activity bonds ahead of the law’s passage, supply became more uneven than usual. It was more than three times higher in December than it had been a year earlier and has been lower than usual since then.

New Jersey defied the national trend, as a $3.2 billion tobacco bond issue in early April helped increase supply 18% over the 2017 level. The issue was securitized by Master Settlement Agreement payments to refund an earlier issue with expected interest savings of $250 million intended to reduce the state’s fiscal 2018 budget gap. New Jersey issued no significant general obligation or appropriation debt during the six months.

New Jersey’s credit ratings and outlook were stable for the period. Standard & Poor’s has maintained an A– rating since November 2016 and revised its outlook to stable from negative in August 2017.

6


 

Moody’s Investors Service has maintained an A3/stable rating since March 2017, and Fitch Ratings has maintained an A–/stable rating since August 2016.

New Jersey’s recovery from the fiscal crisis has lagged the U.S., and the three rating agencies have periodically issued downgrades, citing budget imbalance related to weak revenue growth and pension underfunding as well as low reserves. The budget pressure will continue to grow as annual required contributions for pension funding increase in coming years. The agencies will look for the increased funding in future budgets, in addition to new sources of revenue and/or expenditure cuts, as factors in maintaining current ratings.

A new governor took office in January and proposed $1.5 billion in additional revenue and spending for fiscal 2019. State legislators offered alternative revenue and spending measures. In June, after the close of the period covered in this report, the Legislature passed and Gov. Phil Murphy signed a compromise budget that raises taxes on multimillionaires and imposes a four-year corporate surcharge; increases spending for pensions, education, and transportation; and creates a projected surplus for fiscal 2019.

Management of the funds

We strive to add value through a diversified mix of strategies that include duration, yield-curve positioning, credit-quality decisions, and security selection. Vanguard’s experienced team of credit

analysts performs objective and independent analyses of bonds owned by the Long-Term Fund.

The fund rose in quality as credit-spread levels were on the tighter side, resulting in a modestly overweighted allocation toward bonds with AA and A ratings. Over the six months, New Jersey bonds rated AA returned 1.29% as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays NJ Municipal Bond Index, well ahead of the 0.97% and 0.95% returns for bonds rated A and BBB, respectively.

The Money Market Fund maintained high levels of liquidity and a short weighted-average maturity. That positioning, along with our low expense ratio, helped drive the fund’s performance as rates increased. We also continued to hold variable-rate demand notes as their coupons reset periodically to reflect the prevailing interest-rate environment.

Outlook

The U.S. economy is on track to rise above its long-term potential growth rate to about 2.5% in 2018. Although the slow pace of productivity growth, an aging population, and disruptive new technologies remain long-term structural drags, the recent tax cuts and increased government spending plus solid synchronized global growth could result in a cyclical upswing.

The national unemployment rate is at its lowest level since 2000 and likely to edge even lower. Tightness in the labor market may finally be starting to translate into

7


 

some upward pressure on wages. That, along with stable and broad global growth, may well lead to higher inflation—a scenario that the financial markets are now pricing in. Our long-term outlook for tepid inflation, however, is unchanged.

The Fed appears positioned to raise the federal funds rate again in 2018 and at least three times in 2019. The unwinding of its balance sheet is likely to go on according to the framework and timetable laid out by policymakers last September given the limited reaction so far from the bond market.

We may see more bouts of volatility related to shifting inflation and interest rate expectations. Muni supply and demand may also adjust further as a result of the new tax law. Other potential triggers we’ll be watching include the U.S. midterm elections, stalled or scuttled trade negotiations, and flare-ups in geopolitical tensions.

We anticipate a convergence in global monetary policy as 2018 unfolds, with central banks in developed countries adopting less accommodative stances. Some are raising rates, some plan to do so, and some are reducing quantitative easing. Withdrawing that accommodation unexpectedly or too quickly could well rattle the markets.

Whatever the future may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, credit analysts, and traders will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the funds’ performance.

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 the 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.

New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard New Jersey Municipal 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. 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 income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2014–2017), and for the period ended May 31, 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 May 31, 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.

New Jersey Municipal 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 May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $73,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 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 Statement of Net Assets.

At May 31, 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.

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. 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. Bonds and temporary cash investments 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. 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 Contracts: The fund uses 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

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, 2014–2017), and for the period ended May 31, 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. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 May 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.

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.

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 May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $113,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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.

56


 

New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

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 Statement of Net Assets.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of May 31, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Tax-Exempt Municipal Bonds 2,096,859
Futures Contracts—Assets1 167
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (154)
Total 13 2,096,859
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. 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.

At May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,042,924,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $53,935,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $62,139,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $8,204,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $241,765,000 of investment securities and sold $183,301,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the six months ended May 31, 2018, such purchases and sales were $31,695,000 and $55,790,000, respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

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.

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 Municipal Money Market Fund, 0.16%; and for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.18% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Admiral Shares. 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 (182/365).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard New Jersey Municipal 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), through its Fixed Income Group. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year that directed the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.

The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year during advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.

In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.

Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board reviewed the quality of each fund’s investment management services over both the short and long term and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board considered that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than four 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 each advisory arrangement.

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance compared with a benchmark index (as applicable) and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that each advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s 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 each fund’s advisory expenses were also well below its peer-group average. 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.

61


 

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 each fund’s 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 arrangements 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 Stated Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid using the maturity date of the security. 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 stated 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.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

63


 

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 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.
