A Note From Our Chairman

 

 

 

 

 

Tim Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities—has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.

 

It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.

 

Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.

 

Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.

 

Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mortimer J. Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

 

 

 

·     Vanguard U.S. Value Fund posted a return of about —3% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, well below the performance of its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which had a positive return of more than 3% for the period

 

·     The broad U.S. stock market as measured by the Russell 3000 Index returned nearly 3% during the period. While stocks endured stretches of volatility at the end of 2018 and during the spring of 2019, performance was boosted by the accommodative stance of the Federal Reserve. The Fed cut interest rates in August and September in response to a softening economy.

 

·     Information technology was the only sector that contributed positively to performance on a relative basis. Energy, industrial, and health care stocks detracted most.

 

·     Over the ten years ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average annual return of 11.39% was slightly above that of its benchmark.

Advisor’s Report

 

 

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard U.S. Value Fund posted a return of about —3%, well below the return of its benchmark index, the Russell 3000 Value Index.

 

Investment objective and strategy

Although it’s important to understand how overall performance is affected by macroeconomic factors, our strategy focuses on company-specific fundamentals—not technical analysis. Our stock selection model evaluates companies within our investment universe to identify those with attractive characteristics that we believe will outperform over the long run.

 

To do this, we use a strict quantitative process that focuses on a combination of five key themes or decision models: high quality—healthy balance sheets and consistent cash-flow generation; effective use of capital by management—sound investment policies that favor internal over external funding; consistent earnings growth—a demonstrated ability to grow earnings year after year; strong market sentiment—market confirmation of our view; and reasonable valuation—avoidance of overpriced stocks.

 

The interaction of these themes generates an opinion on all the stocks in our universe each day. Using the results of our model, we then construct our portfolio with the goal of maximizing expected return while minimizing exposure to risks that our research indicates do not improve returns, such as industry selection and other risks relative to our benchmark.

 

Investment environment

The recent macroeconomic environment—characterized by high economic and policy uncertainty, low GDP growth, and low interest rates—has contributed to some extraordinary trends in the equity markets. These trends are not unusual at the late stage of a business cycle and include:

 

· Value underperformance. We’ve seen the longest stretch of value underperformance since the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. Investors have been flocking to high-growth-potential companies with the hope of higher returns without necessarily looking at the underlying earnings. As a result, these companies are trading at inflated valuations that increasingly diverge from those of value companies.

 

· Sentiment rules. The equity market has mostly been trading on sentiment, with investors reacting to macroeconomic shocks such as tariffs and Federal Reserve interest rate announcements while largely ignoring fundamentals (quality, growth, etc.) since spring 2018.

 

· “Junk” rally. A big junk rally in which stocks with high valuations and low-quality earnings outperform began in January. It has been a risk-on and fundamental-off market, in which investors give up safety for returns.

While market environments such as the one we’ve experienced can be challenging for investors, it is crucial to maintain a long-term focus. These market conditions are not unusual at the late stage of a business cycle, and investors should expect to experience them at least once during their investment life.

 

As with any other form of active equity management, our strategies are designed to deliver long-term outperformance. Often, quantitatively driven funds are among the first to bounce back after a drop in the markets and can weather unpredictable markets by staying focused on the historical trends and in-depth data analysis performed regularly by expert portfolio managers, analysts, and traders.

 

Our successes and failures

Against this backdrop, the fund underperformed across the board as all five of our decision models did not perform as expected, and ten of the fund’s 11 industry sectors detracted from performance on a relative basis. Only information technology added to performance while energy, industrials, and health care were the biggest detractors.

 

The portfolio benefited from its holdings in information technology stocks Enphase Energy, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Electro Scientific Industries. The greatest shortfalls came from Mallinckrodt in health care, Tailored Brands in consumer discretionary, and Universal Insurance Holdings in financials.

 

We continue to believe that constructing a portfolio focused on the fundamentals we’ve described will benefit investors over the long term, although we recognize that markets can reward or punish us in the near term. We believe the fund offers a strong mix of stocks with attractive valuation and growth characteristics.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.22%. 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 (183/365).

U.S. Value Fund

 

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

 

Vanguard U.S. Value Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.

 

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. 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. 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.

 

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks 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 clearing-house 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 0% 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 taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

 

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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, distribution, and cash management 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 September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $67,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. 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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

D.  Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for distributions in connection with fund share redemptions were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Report of Independent Registered

Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard U.S. Value Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard U.S. Value Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

A Note From Our Chairman

 

 

 

 

Tim Buckley

 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities—has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.

 

It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.

 

Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.

 

Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.

 

Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mortimer J. Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

 

 

·             Vanguard Capital Value Fund returned –0.18% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, lagging its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which returned 3.10%.

 

·             The broad U.S. stock market advanced nearly 3% for the year, which was marked by sharp intervals of volatility and uncertainty. Investors fretted over U.S.-China trade, heightened tensions with Iran, the imbroglio over Britain’s exit from the European Union, and whether an inverted yield curve signaled a recession ahead. With an eye toward the deteriorating global economic outlook, the Federal Reserve lowered short-term interest rates twice during the period to sustain the U.S. economic recovery.

 

·             Large- and mid-capitalization stocks generally outdistanced their small-cap counterparts.

 

·             The advisor’s strong selections in communication services made that sector the largest contributor to returns. The fund’s holdings in consumer staples, energy, health care, and financials lagged their benchmark counterparts and detracted most from relative results.

Advisor’s Report

 

 

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Capital Value Fund returned –0.18%, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which returned 3.10%.

 

The investment environment

 

Seven of the 11 sectors in the index posted positive returns and six sectors in the fund beat the return of the index as a whole. For the fund, the utilities, real estate, consumer discretionary, communication services, and information technology sectors exceeded the benchmark return by a wide margin, while industrials narrowly led the benchmark return. All other sectors for the fund trailed the benchmark’s result. Energy, consumer staples, health care, and financials posted negative returns.

 

Our shortfalls

 

Security selection drove relative underperformance. Weak selection in consumer staples, energy, and financials was partially offset by strong selection in communication services and industrials. Sector allocation also weighed on relative performance. The fund’s underweight allocation to utilities and overweight to energy detracted from results.

 

Within consumer staples, our holding of Walgreens Boots Alliance and British American Tobacco (BAT) hurt relative performance, as did our not holding Procter & Gamble. Walgreens traded down amid challenges for the drug retail industry as well as concerns about the Walgreens and Boots Alliance merger.

 

BAT has faced headwinds from faster-than-expected volume declines, competition from e-cigarettes and next-generation products, increased Food and Drug Administration regulation—specifically of menthol cigarettes—and increased balance sheet leverage on the back of an acquisition of Reynolds. We ultimately eliminated the name as our thesis about pricing and next-generation efforts offsetting volume declines was disproven.

 

We did not hold Procter & Gamble based on valuation discipline, because the company had been trading at a premium to industry peers.

 

In energy, our holdings of exploration and production companies Concho Resources and Cimarex Energy drove underperformance, along with our position in Halliburton.

 

Concho Resources, the fund’s largest detractor, reported disappointing second-quarter results and guidance for the balance of the year. Several poor operating decisions and cost inflation led to a production shortfall and increased expenses. Shares of Cimarex Energy declined as the company reported weak second-quarter results. In addition to lower-than-expected oil production guidance, the company contended with lower oil and natural gas prices because of pipeline constraints in the Permian Basin.

 

Shares of Halliburton and other oilfield services companies dropped during the period. Halliburton, a diversified provider

with a large market share in U.S. onshore shale drilling and completion areas, has seen a sharp stock pullback as customers scaled back capital spending plans. While customers’ oilfield spending can fluctuate widely, we anticipate an eventual tightening of Halliburton’s services markets as providers reduce capacity to better align with customer demand. In the meantime, we believe the company’s diversification and capital structure will allow it to maintain its equipment fleet while smaller competitors are forced to raid the cupboards for cash.

 

Our successes

 

Communication services marked an area of strength, with Comcast and Verizon contributing the most to relative results. Comcast shares rose during the period as the cable giant continued to exceed estimates on its high-speed internet business. Comcast also has gained traction with its message that the decline of traditional TV subscribers will hurt profits less than expected. Verizon demonstrated an encouraging trend of improving organic growth in its wireless services revenues. Investors also started to factor in benefits from the transition to 5G wireless, including new product offerings and uses, and the potential for different industry dynamics if T-Mobile and Sprint execute their merger plans.

 

Industrials also contributed to results, driven notably by Herman Miller and Johnson Controls. Herman Miller experienced strong sales and accelerating earnings growth in office furniture, equipment, and home furnishings. We continue to believe the company is moving from a period of apathy and compressed margins to one of operating leverage and pricing power. Johnson Controls, a manufacturer of HVAC and fire and security equipment, won investor favor by selling its Power Solutions battery business and redeploying capital into a large share buyback. Management also began focusing on improving operational execution to drive profitability.

 

Fund positioning and outlook

 

At the end of September, the fund’s most significant overweightings relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index were in the information technology, real estate, and materials sectors. The most notable shifts in active positioning over the period—a function of bottom-up stock selection—included increases to our information technology, communication services, and health care weights, and reductions in our consumer staples, utilities, and financials weights.

 

Notable new purchases during the period included CVS Health, Intel, Raymond James, Humana, and Carter’s. CVS Health is an integrated pharmacy health care provider that should benefit from the recent combination with Aetna. The stock was sold down as the market questioned CVS’s ability to successfully integrate Aetna, but after a rocky start, we have been encouraged by management’s execution. With Intel, we took advantage of near-term weakness to accumulate a position. We believe its data center business will reaccelerate once its cloud

customers digest excess inventory and return to an order pattern that better matches their processing needs.

 

With Raymond James, we had an opportunity to add a best-in-class company at a depressed multiple because of broader industry headwinds. The company has meaningfully improved its competitive positioning and offers some of the highest organic growth among peers. Shares of Humana, which is primarily focused on the Medicare Advantage program for older adults, have been pressured by “Medicare-for-all” proposals in the platforms of several Democratic presidential candidates. We believe this is a harsh overreaction to a very unlikely outcome, and we felt positive underlying fundamentals had created a good opportunity to initiate a position.

 

Carter’s, the owner of its eponymous brand as well as OshKosh B’gosh, Skip Hop, and other labels, came under selling pressure as investors worried about the potential imposition of 25% tariffs on the company’s China-sourced infant, toddler, and children’s apparel. The stock was trading at a discounted valuation relative to its long-term history, which we believe ignored the potential to adjust sourcing and supply chains prospectively.

 

Notable eliminations included Wells Fargo, PNC Financial, RenaissanceRe, AIG, and Walgreens Boots Alliance. We shed PNC Financial, AIG, and RenaissanceRe because they achieved our valuation targets and we found more compelling opportunities elsewhere. We abandoned Wells Fargo and Walgreens Boots Alliance because our thesis for each was disproven.

 

There is discussion in the financial press, and even within Wellington, about the multiyear underperformance of value stocks relative to their growth counterparts. Our team is working continuously to position the portfolio with stocks that are priced at a clear discount to their peers and to their fundamental value. At the same time, we are turning over every rock to find companies that are not only “cheap” on static metrics but that have a favorable future trajectory of sales, earnings, and distributable cash flows. We believe we have found an attractive balance of risk and reward in the fund as it is constructed today, and we have conviction that Vanguard investors will be well rewarded for their patience with value investing.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.29%. 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 (183/365).

Performance Summary

 

 

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.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Capital Value Fund

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

Vanguard Capital Value Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.

 

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. 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 affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. 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.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

 

3. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net

 

16


 

Capital Value Fund

 

 

 

 

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 assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency 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.

 

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

4. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

 

5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

7. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a

 

17


 

Capital Value Fund

 

 

 

 

counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

 

8. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

9. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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.   Wellington Management Company LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the fund’s performance relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Float Adjusted Index for the preceding three years. For the year ended September 30, 2019, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.22% of the fund’s average net assets before a decrease of $1,334,000 (0.17%) based on performance.

 

C.   In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund 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.

 

18


 

Capital Value Fund

 

 

 

 

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $37,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

 

D.   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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

E.   Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions were reclassified between the individual components of total distributable earnings (loss).

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Capital Value Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard Capital Value Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A Note From Our Chairman

 

 

 

 

 

Tim Buckley

 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities—has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.

 

It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.

 

Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.

 

Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.

 

Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mortimer J. Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

 

 

·                  For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund returned 3.36% for Investor Shares, tracking its benchmark (+3.44%). The 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares, a proxy for a fund’s potential annualized rate of income, declined 38 basis points over the period, to 0.41%. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

 

·                  Prices of regular U.S. Treasury securities rose amid signs of slowing global growth, an escalation in trade disputes, flare-ups in geopolitical tensions, and continued uncertainty about the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. Against this background, several major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, turned more accommodative in the latter part of the period.

 

·                  The gap between nominal yields and yields of Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS)—considered a measure of the expected annualized rate of inflation over the next five years—fell 70 basis points, to 1.34%. TIPS underperformed regular Treasuries, as they typically do when inflation expectations fall.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.14% for Investor Shares, 0.04% for ETF Shares, 0.06% for Admiral Shares, and 0.04% for Institutional 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 (183/365).

Performance Summary

 

 

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.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers four classes of shares: Investor Shares, ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

 

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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented 0% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at September 30, 2019.

 

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

5. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

6. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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. Inflation adjustments to the face amount of inflation-indexed securities are included in interest income. 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.           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 September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,460,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.58% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. 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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

D.           Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for in-kind redemptions and inflation adjustments were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund

 

 

 

 

 

At September 30, 2019, several Vanguard funds and trusts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates were each a record or beneficial owner of the fund, and had combined ownership of 53% of the fund’s net assets. If any of these shareholders were to redeem their investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.

 

G.          Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2019, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

 

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 212 Vanguard funds.

A Note From Our Chairman

 

 

 

 

Tim Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities—has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.

 

It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.

 

Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.

 

Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.

 

Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mortimer J. Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

 

 

·     For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Core Bond Fund returned 10.31% for Admiral Shares. It slightly trailed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index, which returned 10.44%.

 

·     Worries about the pace of global economic growth and central bank plans to loosen monetary policies virtually worldwide encouraged investment in bonds, sending their yields lower and their prices markedly higher during the fund’s fiscal year.

 

·     The fund’s modest underperformance owed in large part to holdings in inflation-protected U.S. Treasuries, which lagged conventional Treasuries, and in General Electric, which sank amid a restructuring.

 

·     The fund’s potential annual rate of income, measured by the 30-day SEC yield of its Admiral Shares, declined from 3.50% at the beginning of the period to 2.53% as of September 30, 2019.

 

·     The fund regularly uses derivatives to limit portfolio risks. The fund’s derivatives positions, including both hedges and active positions, boosted performance slightly.

Advisor’s Report

 

 

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Core Bond Fund returned 10.15% for Investor Shares and 10.31% for Admiral Shares. It slightly lagged its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index, which returned 10.44%.

 

As bond prices rose, yields fell. The 30-day SEC yield of the fund’s Investor Shares declined to 2.35% by the close of the period compared with 3.31% a year earlier. Admiral Shares’ ending yield was 2.53%, down from 3.50%. The 30-day SEC yield is a proxy for a fund’s potential annualized rate of income.

 

The investment environment

The markets were driven largely by shifts in the outlook for global growth and monetary policy. Toward the end of 2018, investors grew skittish at the prospect of reduced monetary policy accommodation by some major central banks, especially as the global economy seemed to be losing steam. In December, the U.S. Federal Reserve hiked its target for short-term interest rates for the fourth time that year, and the European Central Bank (ECB) brought its asset-purchase program to an end.

 

Other concerns on investors’ minds as 2018 drew to a close were flare-ups in ongoing trade disputes, signs of China’s economy slowing, and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Greater risk aversion led to a sell-off in stocks and lower-quality bonds and a boost in demand for safer assets, including government bonds.

 

Further signs of a global slowdown and tepid inflation in 2019, however, led to a pivot in monetary policy from a tightening to a loosening bias across much of the world. In March, the Fed announced that it would end its balance sheet tapering; it went on to reduce interest rates in August and September. Those cuts, the first in more than a decade, were justified by policy-makers as “insurance” meant to cushion the effects of trade policies and prolong an economic expansion already in its tenth year.

 

In September, the ECB pushed its deposit rate further into negative territory and announced a new round of asset purchases. At the same time, it cut its projections for euro-zone growth and inflation for 2019 and 2020.

For emerging markets, dimmer prospects for global growth were a headwind, but the knock-on effect of more accommodative monetary policy in developed markets was supportive. In general, emerging markets benefited from looser financial conditions, a lower cost of borrowing in dollars, and an upturn in capital inflows.

 

Management of the fund

The fund benefited during fiscal 2019 from management of interest rate exposure, a modest overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds, and security selection in emerging markets.

 

Amid record or near-record low unemployment and solid if weakening U.S. economic growth, we favored credit sectors over U.S. Treasuries. We took no large stakes in individual credit sectors but sought relative performance advantages from a variety of strategies. Security selection in corporate bonds generally added value. We fared especially well with consumer cyclical issuers, including gaming and restaurant companies. We also maintained a greater-than-benchmark level of sensitivity to interest rates for much of the year, which helped the fund as rates declined.

 

In emerging markets, we were able to add value through a number of investment strategies focused primarily on defensive, short-term issues. While we don’t usually take significant directional bets on the market, we did going into 2019. The market had cheapened to the point where we went long on some higher-beta issuers with underlying stories that suggested they would benefit most from a rebound. This tactical move worked out well for the fund, though these bonds accounted for only modest portions of its assets.

 

For much of the period, however, we were more focused on finding relative value opportunities within and across markets. Brazil is one of the countries where we succeeded. We were over-weighted in U.S. dollar-denominated debt issued by Brazil for two main reasons. A number of structural reforms, including pension reform, were under way there, along with an easing in interest rates because of the sluggish economy and below-target inflation. This positioning paid off handsomely over the period. Small stakes in dollar-denominated Mexican and South African government debt also helped.

 

The fund’s modest underperformance owed in large part to poor performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, when several of the fund’s positions, including holdings in General Electric bonds and some mortgage-backed securities, came under stress. The fund was able to recoup almost all of the losses in 2019 through strong security selection allocations to emerging markets and a modest position in speculative-grade bonds.

Our allocation to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) was also a drag on performance as they lagged conventional Treasuries during the yield rally.

 

Outlook

The investment environment is likely to be complicated.

 

We expect global growth to continue softening, in part because of further down drafts from trade tensions and policy uncertainty. The U.S. economy may slow to a below-trend pace of around 0.5%–1.5% in 2020 after adjusting for inflation, with a not-negligible risk of a recession.

 

China, the world’s second-largest economy, is set to grow at around 5.8% next year, but that figure could be markedly lower without further stimulus. Growth may also stay below trend in the euro area, at about 0.7%, given recent indications that manufacturing weakness is spilling over into supply chains and the services sector.

 

The weakest issuers will be the most sensitive and at risk of a further deceleration in global growth, making rigorous credit analysis and dynamic management key to performance in 2020. On the other hand, subdued inflation and accommodative central banks should provide some support to risky assets.

 

Accordingly, we enter the fund’s new fiscal year broadly neutral on credit, preferring to focus on security selection and cross-sector relative value opportunities. If more bouts of volatility occur as the global economy slows, our tactically defensive stance should allow us to take advantage of price dislocations as they arise.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.07% 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 (183/365).

Core Bond Fund

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

Vanguard Core Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.

 

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

 

3. 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

Core Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 Assets and Liabilities 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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 19% and 7% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency 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 assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency 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.

 

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. 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 Assets and Liabilities 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 6% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

 

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

 

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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 Statement of Net Assets. 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.

 

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 8% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

6. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

 

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

 

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

 

48


 

Core Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

Options on futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Swaptions are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

 

7. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them 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. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

 

8. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

9. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

10. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

11. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

12. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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.   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 Assets and Liabilities. 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 September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $58,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. 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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

E.   Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions and swap agreements were reclassified between the individual components of total distributable earnings (loss).

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles; the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts, forward currency contracts, and options; payables for distributions; and the tax recognition of gain or loss from foreign currency hedges. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Core Bond Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets and statement of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Core Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

 

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 212 Vanguard funds.

 

Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. 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.

A Note From Our Chairman

 

 

 

 

 

Tim Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities—has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.

 

It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.

 

Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.

 

Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.

 

Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mortimer J. Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

 

 

 

·  For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned 13.40% for Investor Shares, outpacing the return of its benchmark by almost 2 percentage points.

 

·  Emerging-market bonds slumped toward the end of 2018 amid concerns about global growth, the impact of tighter monetary policy, a slowdown in China, and growing trade tension. Later in the period, they made solid gains as major central banks turned more accommodative, growth concerns eased a bit, and investors again reached for yield.

 

·  The bulk of the fund’s outperformance came from strong issuer selection. Latin America stood out, with selection in Mexico and an overweight allocation to Brazil boosting returns relative to the benchmark.

 

·  A modest overweight to Argentina, where the political situation grew more clouded, detracted most from returns.

 

·  The use of derivatives to hedge portfolio risks is common in the fund. The fund’s derivatives position, including both hedges and active positions, had a net positive contribution to performance.

Advisor’s Report

 

 

For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned 13.40% for Investor Shares and 13.53% for Admiral Shares. The fund’s benchmark, the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified, returned 11.57%. The average return of its peer group of emerging-market hard currency debt funds was 8.95%. (A “hard currency” is one that is issued by an economically and politically stable country and is widely used around the world as payment for goods and services.)

 

With bond prices rising, yields fell. The 30-day SEC yield declined to 4.08% for the fund’s Investor Shares by the close of the period compared with 5.24% a year earlier. For Admiral Shares, that ending yield was 4.23%, down from 5.39%. The 30-day SEC yield is a proxy for a fund’s potential annualized rate of income.

 

The investment environment

The markets were driven largely by shifts in the outlook for global growth and monetary policy during the period.

 

Toward the end of 2018, emerging-market investors grew skittish on the prospect of a reduction in monetary policy accommodation by some major central banks, especially as the global economy seemed to be losing steam. An interest rate increase in December by the U.S. Federal Reserve marked its fourth hike of 2018. The European Central Bank (ECB) brought its asset-purchase program to an end. Other concerns on investors’ minds as 2018 drew to a close were flare-ups in ongoing trade disputes, signs of China’s economy slowing, and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Greater risk aversion led to a sell-off in stocks and lower-quality bonds and a boost in demand for safer assets, including government bonds.

 

Further signs of a global slowdown and tepid inflation in the new year, however, led to a pivot in monetary policy from a tightening to a loosening bias across much of the world. In March, the Fed announced that it would end its balance sheet tapering; it went on to reduce short-term interest rates in August and September. Those cuts, the first in more than a decade, were justified by policymakers as “insurance” meant to cushion the effects of trade policies and prolong an economic expansion already in its tenth year. In September, the ECB pushed its deposit rate further into negative territory and announced a new round of asset purchases; at the same time, it cut its projections for euro zone growth and inflation for 2019 and 2020.

 

For emerging markets, dimmer prospects for global growth were a headwind—but the knock-on effect of more accommodative monetary policy in developed markets was supportive. In general, these markets benefited from looser financial conditions, a lower cost of borrowing in dollars, and an upturn in capital inflows.

Management of the fund

We were able to add value through a number of different strategies during the period. While we don’t usually take significant directional bets on the market, we did going into 2019. The market had cheapened to the point where we went long on some higher-beta issuers with underlying stories that suggested they would benefit most from a rebound. This tactical move worked out well for the fund.

 

For much of the period, however, we were more focused on finding relative value opportunities within and across markets. Brazil is one of the countries where we were successful in doing that. We were overweight Brazilian quasi-sovereign debt and local interest rates mainly for two reasons: the number of structural reforms, including pension reform, under way there, and the easing in interest rates taking place because of the sluggish economy and below-target inflation. This positioning paid off handsomely for the fund over the period.

 

Underweighting Turkey and Lebanon also added significant value, and overweights to Central America and Ukraine helped performance. A big positive contribution came from purchasing euro-denominated bonds of countries in emerging Europe on a currency- and interest-rate hedged basis. These bonds significantly outperformed their dollar-denominated counterparts.

 

Another positive was our out-of-benchmark allocation to local-currency bonds. As global monetary policy turned more accommodative, we seized some opportunities in countries where bonds in local currencies appeared to have more scope for upside than their U.S.-dollar-denominated counterparts. Those countries included Mexico, South Africa, Ukraine, and Egypt.

 

Argentina was the largest detractor. We had overweighted our allocation to this country, given the market-friendly policies of President Mauricio Macri and the line of credit secured from the International Monetary Fund last year. Argentina’s credit repriced sharply, however, following a strong primary showing by Macri’s political rival ahead of the general election to be held at the end of October. Our position therefore hurt the fund. We were, however, able to limit the impact after the fact through selection and active management.

 

Defensive underweights to some of the tightest-trading issuers in August also dampened the fund’s return, as demand for Treasury-sensitive assets helped countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia outperform.

 

Outlook

The investment environment is likely to be complicated for emerging markets.

 

We expect global growth to continue softening, owing in part to further downdrafts from trade tensions and policy uncertainty. The U.S. economy may slow to a below-trend pace of around 0.5%–1.5% in 2020 after adjusting for inflation, with a not-negligible risk of a recession.

 

4


 

China, the world’s second-largest economy, is set to grow at around 5.8% next year—but that figure could be markedly lower without further stimulus. Growth may stay below trend in the euro area, to about 0.7%, given recent indications that manufacturing weakness is spilling over into supply chains and the services sector.

 

The weakest issuers in the emerging markets will be the most sensitive and at risk to a further deceleration in global growth, making rigorous credit analysis and dynamic management key to performance in 2020 in this asset class.

 

On the other hand, weaker inflation and more easing by major central banks should be positive for emerging markets. It will make it easier for them to obtain external financing and give their central banks more room to cut rates, which in turn should be supportive of emerging-market credit sectors and local-currency fixed income.

 

Valuations for the high-credit-quality portion of emerging-market debt are unappealingly high, given both the appetite investors have shown for safety and yield and the additional supply that’s expected to come to market. The lowest-credit-quality portion is most at risk from further disappointments regarding growth.

 

Accordingly, we are entering the fund’s new fiscal year conservatively positioned in the middle of the credit-quality spectrum, where valuations offer the prospect of additional upside from issuers with stable or improving fundamentals.

 

Because we are likely to see more bouts of volatility as the global economy slows, our tactically defensive stance should allow us to take advantage of price dislocations as they arise.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.60% for Investor Shares and 0.45% 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 (183/365).

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Each of the share classes has different eligibility and minimum purchase requirements, and is designed for different types of investors.

 

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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

 

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

 

3. 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

 

26


 

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

 

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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 Assets and Liabilities 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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 7% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts 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. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, 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 forward currency 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 assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency 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.

 

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. 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 Assets and Liabilities 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 22% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

 

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

 

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

 

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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

 

28


 

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

 

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 Statement of Net Assets. 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.

 

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 7% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund has no open interest rate swap contracts at September 30, 2019.

 

6. Options: The fund invests in options on foreign currency, which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into options with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength. The primary risk associated with purchasing options on foreign currency is that the value of the underlying foreign currencies may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options on foreign currency is that the value of the underlying foreign currencies may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Options on foreign currency are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written

 

29


 

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

 

option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

 

7. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

8. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

9. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

10. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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.           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 Assets and Liabilities. 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 September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $16,000, change to less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. 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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

E.           Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions, distributions in connection with fund share redemptions, and swap agreements were reclassified between the following accounts:

Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles; the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts, forward currency contracts and options; payables for distributions; and the tax recognition of gain or loss from foreign currency hedges. As of period end, the tax-basis components of total distributable earnings (loss) are detailed in the table as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets and statement of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

A Note From Our Chairman

 

 

 

 

 

Tim Buckley

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Recent volatility in financial markets—affecting stocks, bonds, and commodities—has been a good reminder of the wise old adage, “Never keep all your eggs in one basket.” Maintaining balance and diversification in your investment portfolio can help to both limit risk and set you up for long-term success.

 

It’s understandable why some investors might become complacent after a long market run-up like the one that lifted stock prices, especially U.S. stock prices, in the years following the global financial crisis. But failing to rebalance regularly can leave a portfolio with a much different mix of assets than intended and, often, more risk than intended.

 

Balance across and diversification within asset classes are powerful tools for managing risk and achieving your investment goals. A portfolio’s allocation will determine a large portion of its long-term return and also the majority of its volatility risk. A well-diversified portfolio is less vulnerable to significant swings in the performance of any one segment of the asset classes in which it invests.

 

Balance and diversification will never eliminate the risk of loss, nor will they guarantee positive returns in a declining market. But they should reduce the chance that you’ll suffer disproportionate losses in one particular high-flying asset class or sector when it comes back to earth. And exposure to all key market components should give you at least some participation in the sectors that are performing best at any given time.

 

Vanguard is committed to helping you achieve balance and diversification in your portfolios to help meet your investment goals. We thank you for your continued loyalty.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

Mortimer J. Buckley

 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

 

 

·   For the 12 months ended September 30, 2019, Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund returned 7.66% and Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund returned 4.81%. The Intermediate-Term Fund lagged its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate ex Baa Index (+7.84%). The Short-Term Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit 1–3 Year ex Baa Index (+4.53%).

 

·   For both funds, relative results were hurt by the mix of their bonds’ terms to maturity. This yield curve positioning was designed to exploit a return to a more normal yield curve, where yields get progressively higher as maturities rise. Instead, the curve flattened.

 

·   Security selection outside of the U.S. Treasury market benefited both funds.

 

·   The funds’ potential annual rates of income, as measured by their 30-day SEC yields, declined along with bond yields. The Intermediate-Term Fund’s yield fell 75 basis points to 2.31%. The Short-Term Fund’s yield fell 42 basis points to 2.33%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

 

·   The Short-Term Fund regularly uses derivatives to limit portfolio risks. The fund’s active derivative positions had a net negative impact on performance.

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 Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund Institutional Plus Shares, 0.02%, and for the Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund Institutional Plus Shares, 0.02%. 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 (183/365).

Performance Summary

 

 

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.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

The fund is the successor to VFTC Short-Term Bond Trust (the predecessor trust), a collective trust managed by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, an affiliate of The Vanguard Group, Inc. The predecessor trust transferred its assets to the fund in connection with the fund’s commencement of operations on or about June 19, 2015. The performance of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares includes the performance of the predecessor trust prior to the commencement of the fund’s operations. The performance of the predecessor trust has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares. If the performance of the predecessor trust was adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares, the predecessor trust’s performance would have been lower. The fund is managed with the same investment objective, strategies, policies, and risks as the predecessor trust. The predecessor trust was not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the predecessor trust had been an investment company, its performance may have been different.

Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

 

Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund has been established by Vanguard as an investment vehicle for certain collective trusts and other accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates and qualifying education savings plans. The fund is offered to investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.

 

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 21% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

 

3. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

 

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

 

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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 Statement of Net Assets. 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.

 

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 8% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

7. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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.

 

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $371,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.15% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. 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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

E.           Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for swap agreements were reclassified between the individual components of total distributable earnings (loss).

Performance Summary

 

 

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.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

The fund is the successor to VFTC Intermediate-Term Bond Trust (the predecessor trust), a collective trust managed by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, an affiliate of The Vanguard Group, Inc. The predecessor trust transferred its assets to the fund in connection with the fund’s commencement of operations on or about June 19, 2015. The performance of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares includes the performance of the predecessor trust prior to the commencement of the fund’s operations. The performance of the predecessor trust has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares. If the performance of the predecessor trust was adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares, the predecessor trust’s performance would have been lower. The fund is managed with the same investment objective, strategies, policies, and risks as the predecessor trust. The predecessor trust was not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the predecessor trust had been an investment company, its performance may have been different.

· See Note A in Notes to Financial Statements.

 

1   Securities with a value of $9,964,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.

 

2   Securities with a value of $8,889,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open centrally cleared swap contracts.

 

3   Securities with a value of $1,324,000 have been segregated as collateral for certain open To Be Announced (TBA) transactions.

 

4   U.S. government-guaranteed.

 

5   The issuer was placed under federal conservatorship in September 2008; since that time, its daily operations have been managed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and it receives capital from the U.S. Treasury, as needed to maintain a positive net worth, in exchange for senior preferred stock.

 

6   The average or expected maturity is shorter than the final maturity shown because of the possibility of interim principal payments and prepayments or the possibility of the issue being called.

 

7   Includes securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for which the fund has not taken delivery as of September 30, 2019.

 

8   Adjustable-rate security; rate shown is effective rate at period end. Certain adjustable-rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent based on current market conditions.

Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund has been established by Vanguard as an investment vehicle for certain collective trusts and other accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates and qualifying education savings plans. The fund is offered to investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.

 

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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.

 

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 Assets and Liabilities 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 year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 14% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

77


 

Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

3. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

 

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

 

The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

 

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. 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

 

78


 

Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

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 Statement of Net Assets. 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.

 

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. 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. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2019, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

 

4. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them 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. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions 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.

 

At September 30, 2019, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts cash with a value of $251,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

 

5. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased.

 

79


 

Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2016–2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

 

7. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.

 

8. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $4.3 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 September 30, 2019, or at any time during the period then ended.

 

9. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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 Assets and Liabilities. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.

Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund

 

 

 

 

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2019, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,017,000, representing less than 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.41% of Vanguard’s capital received pursuant to the FSA. 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.

 

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments and derivatives as of September 30, 2019, based on the inputs used to value them:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund and Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund

 

Opinions on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund and the statements of net assets of Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund and Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (two of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2019, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2019 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinions

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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.

 

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 212 Vanguard funds.

 

Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. That information, as well as the Vanguard fund count, is as of the date on the cover of this fund report. 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.

The Audit Committee would again consider whether such services and fees are consistent with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

 

The Registrant’s Audit Committee is informed at least annually of all audit and non-audit services provided by the principal accountant to the Vanguard complex, whether such services are provided to: the Registrant, other registered investment companies in the Vanguard complex, The Vanguard Group, Inc., or other entities controlled by The Vanguard Group, Inc. that provide ongoing services to the Registrant.
