Futures Contracts: The fund invests a portion of its cash reserves in equity markets through the use of index futures contracts. After giving effect to futures investments, the fund’s effective common stock and temporary cash investment positions represent 98.0% and 4.5%, respectively, of net assets. Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices.

At March 31, 2005, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in June 2005, and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

The fund enters into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to open futures contracts. Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. At March 31, 2005, the fund had open forward currency contracts to receive and deliver currencies as follows:

EUR-Euro.     JPY-Japanese yen. USD-U.S. Dollar.

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open forward currency contracts is treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

Investment Securities: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 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 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 acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

At March 31, 2005, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $522,244,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $87,549,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $95,423,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $7,874,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the valuation date as employed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the calculation of its indexes. As part of the fund’s fair value procedures, exchange rates may be adjusted if they change significantly before the fund’s pricing time but after the time at which the MSCI rates are determined (generally 11:00 a.m. Eastern time).
