About the cover: Our cover photograph shows rigging on the HMS Surprise, a replica of an 18th-century Royal Navy frigate. It was featured in the 2003 movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which was based on Patrick O’Brian’s sea novels, set amid the Napoleonic Wars. Vanguard was named for another ship of that era, the HMS Vanguard, which was the flagship of British Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle of the Nile.


 

Market Perspective

Dear Planholder,

This report begins with a review of the market environment over the past six months, a period marked at its end by shakiness related to investor concerns over the future scaling back of the Federal Reserve’s massive bond-buying program. Bond yields jumped (and so prices fell), and the stock market experienced some turmoil.

Volatility and increased uncertainty can tempt investors to deviate from their investment plan. The recent rise in bond yields, for example, has led to redemptions from bond funds as investors try to sidestep losses that might arise from a sustained climb in interest rates.

Keep in mind, however, that although interest rates remain low, nobody is certain whether their next move will be up or down—much less how financial markets will react to the change.

We continue to believe that sticking to a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments over the long haul—rather than making impulsive changes to try to avoid potential losses or capitalize on perceived opportunities—gives you the best chance of meeting your investment goals.

A review of the performance of your portfolio is set forth in the following pages. Each of the Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund’s portfolios can serve as a useful piece of an investment program that includes a mix of stock, bond, and money market holdings suitable for your long-term investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
July 15, 2013

Global stocks notched gains despite some recent turbulence
After staging a stellar performance for most of the first half of 2013, global stocks declined in June. Investors worldwide were spooked by signs of weakness in China’s economy and by a statement from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that the central bank could begin to reduce its stimulative bond-buying program later this year. Still, U.S. stocks returned about 14% for the six-month period, despite a drop of more than 1% in June.

Markets were clearly unsettled by the prospect of the Fed’s scaling back its stimulus measures, known as quantitative easing. However, Vanguard’s chief economist, Joe Davis, pointed to a positive message in the Fed’s evolving stance. “The Federal Reserve is coming closer to the realization that the U.S. economy is stronger today than it was a year ago and so does not need the insurance, so to speak, of additional quantitative easing,” he said.

Bond prices fell sharply in the period’s final months
Bond returns, which sputtered along through most of the period, turned negative in May and retreated further in June. The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –2.44% for the six months as concerns about the Fed’s plans roiled fixed income investors even more than their counterparts in equities.

The yield of the 10-year Treasury note finished the six months at 2.47%, jumping from 2.11% at the end of May and 1.67% at the end of April. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) Returns from money market funds and savings accounts were minuscule, a result of the Fed’s keeping its target for short-term rates between 0% and 0.25%.

Vanguard® Balanced Portfolio

Stock prices generally kept climbing in the first five months of 2013, while bond prices seesawed. In June, however, growing uncertainty about Federal Reserve policy led to broad sell-offs in both markets, with bonds finishing in the red for the half year.

Against this backdrop, Vanguard Balanced Portfolio returned 8.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, outpacing the 7.60% return of its composite benchmark and the 6.62% average return of its peer group. Its equity and bond components bested the returns of their respective benchmark indexes. At the end of June, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield stood at 2.22%, slightly below its level six months earlier.

Please note that the returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

Astute security selections enhanced performance
The portfolio’s equity holdings—which accounted for about two-thirds of total assets—returned more than 15%, topping the 13.82% return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index equity benchmark. Financials and health care, the two largest sectors, delivered some of the highest returns. Insurance companies, commercial banks, and diversified financial services firms continued to rebound from the severe setbacks of the 2008–2009 financial crisis. Pharmaceutical companies, representing about three-quarters of the portfolio’s health care stocks, also added significantly to results.

Relative to the S&P 500, the standout contribution came from the advisor’s selections among information technology stocks. In a turnabout from 2012, the portfolio benefited from having minimal exposure to Apple shares, which have been under pressure as investors worry about intense competition.

The return of the Balanced Portfolio’s fixed income component was a slight improvement over the –3.27% return of its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index, thanks in part to the advisor’s strong selection among corporate bonds.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisor’s Report that follows.

Bonds remain a key element of a diversified portfolio
Bond yields have ticked up of late but are still not far off historical lows. Because yields and prices move in opposite directions, bonds have little room to appreciate in price and may well deliver more negative returns in the near term if interest rates rise substantially.

Although some investors may feel tempted to reduce their fixed income exposure, research has shown that trying to time the markets is a strategy that doesn’t often work out well. And keep in mind that reducing the amount of bonds in an otherwise well-balanced portfolio inevitably increases the level of volatility risk.

The divergent performance of stocks and bonds in the first half of 2013 highlights the virtues of a simple and disciplined investment strategy such as that followed by Vanguard Balanced Portfolio: allocation between asset classes, diversification within them, and regular rebalancing to the target asset allocation.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The Balanced Portfolio returned 8.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This compared favorably with the 7.60% return of its blended benchmark index—weighted 65% in large cap stocks and 35% in high-quality corporate bonds—and the 6.62% average return of peer funds. Both the stock and bond portions of the portfolio outperformed their respective benchmarks, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index.

The investment environment
U.S. equities (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) reached an all-time high in May and returned 13.82% for the six months. The market’s rally came to a sudden end after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the Fed might begin to slow its stimulus program sooner than investors anticipated. The Fed’s policy-setting committee emphasized that the schedule for this would depend on improving economic indicators. A strong housing market, rising consumer confidence, and a steadily improving employment picture signaled that underlying fundamentals were solid. Following the market’s dramatic drop in response to both the Bernanke comments and a significant increase in Chinese central bank lending rates, U.S. stocks moved higher toward the end of the period.

The fixed income market also was roiled by the Fed chairman’s remarks. Bonds sold off sharply and credit spreads generally widened. The U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened as long-term rates rose more than short rates. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the period at 2.47%, the highest level since August 2011. Meanwhile, the economic recovery in the Eurozone continued to be the weakest in the world by a substantial margin.

Our successes
The equity portion of the portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index thanks to a favorable combination of security selection and sector allocation. (Stock selection is a deliberate and explicit part of our process and sector allocation a result of those decisions.) Given the portfolio’s relatively defensive orientation over time, we were pleased to lead the index during such a strong period for the equity market. Our stock selection was particularly helpful in the information technology sector. We also had good stock picks within financials and telecommunication services. Our above-benchmark allocation to financials and health care was beneficial, as was our underweighting in information technology.

Individual contributors included JPMorgan Chase, Roche, Prudential Financial, Wells Fargo, Honeywell International, and Time Warner. We also benefited from having less exposure than the benchmark to underperforming Apple.

Selected Equity Portfolio Changes  
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013  
 
Additions Comments
Apple We established a new position in Apple during the half year.
  We did not own it previously because we were worried about
  increased competition, margin pressures, and the uncertainty
  of the post-Steve Jobs era. But the market consensus caught
  up to these concerns, which are now mostly reflected in the
  stock’s price. After the large price drop, we found the shares
  more attractive in part because of the company’s above-average
  dividend yield, the potential for dividend growth in the near
  future, and the favorable risk/reward profile at the stock’s current
  valuation. Our position in Apple is modest; we are not inclined
  to make it a large one unless we see either greater clarity on
  prospects for future product launches or further decreases
in the stock price.

Verizon Communications Verizon Communications was another new position for the
  portfolio. The company provides communications, information,
  and entertainment products and services to consumers,
  businesses, and government agencies worldwide and is becoming
  dominant in wireless. We believe there is a good chance it will
  attempt to purchase the rest of Verizon Wireless from Vodafone
  and that this move would be very beneficial to earnings.
 
Deletions Comments
AT&T We eliminated our position in AT&T—our largest sale during the
  period—to establish the new position in Verizon. We believe that
  Verizon is better positioned for future growth.
Occidental Petroleum We trimmed our position because we have some concerns
  about potential pressure on oil prices; overall, however, our
  view is more neutral than negative. We do believe that the
  relative price differential between oil and natural gas will
  narrow over time as natural gas becomes an increasingly
  viable substitute for oil around the world.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

JPMorgan Chase, the U.S.-based global financial services firm, was among the portfolio’s top contributors in absolute terms. At current valuation levels, we believe this stock has one of the most attractive risk/reward profiles in the financial sector. We expect the bank to benefit from the continuing recovery in the U.S. housing market. In our view, management has positioned JPMorgan’s core franchise with a favorable combination of continued growth and disciplined cost controls. We increased our holding, making JPMorgan one of the portfolio’s largest positions.

Our shares of Roche, a global biopharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, also climbed substantially. Investors embraced the company’s product pipeline for both the near term and the future; 11 of 14 Phase 3 drug trials delivered positive results last year. We think Roche has good growth prospects based on its strong position in personalized medicine, leadership position in immunology, and recent drug approvals.

The fixed income portion of the portfolio outpaced its corporate-bond benchmark. Our neutral-to-shorter duration bias helped relative returns as interest rates rose. Our selection among corporate issues was also helpful, most notably within industrials.

Our shortfalls
Despite surpassing their benchmark index, the portfolio’s bonds delivered a modestly negative return. Principal losses resulting from the rise in interest rates outweighed the shareholder income generated by coupon payments.

Our out-of-benchmark allocations to U.S. Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which we use for liquidity and diversification from corporate bonds, hindered relative returns.

In the portfolio’s equity portion, disappointments included stock selection within health care and energy. Our positioning was unfavorable in the consumer discretionary sector (where we had less-than-benchmark exposure) and in utilities (in which we were overweighted).

Our holdings in Goldcorp and Petrobras detracted from performance, as did our lack of any position in Berkshire Hathaway, a component of the S&P 500 Index.

Goldcorp, a senior gold producer with assets in North, Central, and South America, saw its shares plummet along with the sudden, steep drop in gold prices. Its fundamentals surprised us on the downside; however, we think they are at or near the bottom, and we’re now more optimistic. We took advantage of the weakness by purchasing additional shares of the stock at the depressed valuations. In our view, the company is well-positioned in the industry with strong operators and assets across the hemisphere.

Brazilian energy producer Petrobras also declined during the period. Our initial investment thesis was based on the company’s massive low-cost resource base, strong resource growth (particularly through offshore finds off the coast of Brazil), and attractive valuation relative to the quality of its assets. But Brazilian government influence in the company has made our original rationale for the investment less certain, and we trimmed the position.

Portfolio positioning
In our view, the medium-term growth prospects for the United States are favorable. We expect consumers to be resilient as the year continues, helped by improving net worth from rising house and equity market prices as well as steady job gains. The key drivers of growth will likely be capital spending and the housing and automotive sectors.

An improving economy and healing labor market may allow the Federal Reserve to take its foot off the pedal with respect to its extraordinary purchases of Treasuries and agency MBS. To the extent that investors incorporate this view into their outlooks, bond prices may decline further.

From an equity sector perspective, the portfolio remains overweighted in financials, particularly large-capitalization U.S. banks (Wells Fargo is another top position).

We are focusing on high-quality financial institutions with solid balance sheets, strong management teams, and attractive valuations. Within financials, we remain less excited about real estate investment trusts, or REITs, because we view them as a pure play on interest rates (like bond surrogates); we believe equity REITs do not offer an attractive risk/reward profile at this time.

We are also overweighted in health care stocks, where we are targeting companies that offer stable cash flows and high yields and trade at attractive valuations. Holdings favor large-cap pharmaceutical stocks, including Eli Lilly and Pfizer. In addition to Roche, we hold two other firms with meaningful exposure to immunology developments: Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb. We believe these companies have solid pipelines that are underappreciated by investors.

Our industrials allocation is overweighted as well. We trimmed some of our defense holdings because of concerns about the sequester and imminent cuts to defense spending, but these moves were more than offset by additions to our transportation holdings, including a new position in CSX.

The portfolio remains underweighted in information technology and consumer stocks. Many consumer staples shares are at historically high valuations, and we are having a difficult time finding value. Although we established a new position in Apple, it is below the stock’s large weighting in the benchmark; this accounts for a significant portion of our underweighting in the sector.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

For the portfolio’s bond portion, we currently view interest rate risk as a greater threat than credit risk. We closed the period with a roughly neutral duration posture relative to that of the benchmark.

Poor liquidity in the corporate bond market is another concern. We continue to maintain a liquidity buffer through exposure to Treasuries and agency MBS; we view the latter as a more liquid alternative to corporate bonds.

Equity Investment Focus


Fixed Income Investment Focus


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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Credit Quality. The credit ratings assigned to fixed income securities are an indicator of risk. They represent a rating agency’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. For this report, credit-quality ratings for each issue are obtained from Barclays using ratings derived from Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings, and Standard & Poor’s. When ratings from all three agencies are available, the median rating is used; when ratings are available from two of the agencies, the lower rating is used; and when one rating is available, that rating is used.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. Certain of the portfolio’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. mutual funds. The portfolio 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. Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the portfolio’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,

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

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 portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio 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 portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 0% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

4. Swap Contracts: The portfolio may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the portfolio or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The portfolio 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 portfolio 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 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 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 portfolio 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 portfolio (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the portfolio) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the portfolio and, in a physically settled swap, the portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio 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 portfolio under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the portfolio’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the portfolio if the portfolio is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the portfolio 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average amount of credit protection sold represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

5. 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 portfolio may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the portfolio maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

6. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The portfolio enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the portfolio 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 portfolio 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 portfolio has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the portfolio 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 portfolio 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 portfolio accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the portfolio’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 (Other Assets) or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased (Liabilities) in the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

7. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the portfolio under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio.

8. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

9. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

10. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

11. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. Wellington Management Company, llp provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the portfolio’s performance for the preceding three years relative to the combined index comprising the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.06% of the portfolio’s average net assets before a decrease of $34,000, (0.00%) based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $233,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.09% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

F. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency losses of $32,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the portfolio’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the portfolio’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $1,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,527,566,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $351,483,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $371,853,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $20,370,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $217,786,000 of investment securities and sold $213,396,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $80,844,000 and $55,298,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 81% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Balanced Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,087.88 $1.40
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return $1,000.00 $1,023.46 $1.35

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.27%. 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.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Balanced Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory agreement with Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington Management). The board determined that the retention of Wellington Management was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Wellington Management, founded in 1928, is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The two senior portfolio managers are backed by well-tenured teams of equity and fixed income research analysts who conduct detailed fundamental analysis of their respective industries and companies. Wellington Management has provided high-quality advisory services for the portfolio and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term. The firm has advised the Balanced Portfolio since its inception in 1991.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of Wellington Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee, because Wellington Management is independent of Vanguard and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of breakpoints in the portfolio’s advisory fee schedule. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the portfolio’s assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Capital Growth Portfolio

Overcoming challenges in an investing climate that favored value stocks over growth, Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio returned 17.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2013—surpassing its comparative standards.

Please note that returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

Health care and technology stocks drove the portfolio’s strong results
For more than ten years, PRIMECAP Management Company has managed the Capital Growth Portfolio using a patient, contrarian strategy of seeking growth stocks that appear under-appreciated by the market. This approach has led to a concentration in the health care and information technology sectors, each representing more than 30% of total assets on average during the half year.

The advisor’s significant overweighting of these sectors and selection within them were propitious: Together, health care and IT holdings contributed most of the portfolio’s return. Large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have profited from favorable regulatory rulings and promising new treatments. And investors have been attracted to companies able to return cash in the form of dividends or share buybacks.

In technology, software providers and semiconductor manufacturers advanced. And the improving economic outlook contributed to strength throughout the portfolio, especially among consumer discretionary and financial holdings.

When comparing performance with the S&P 500 Index, it’s appropriate to keep in mind that the advisor’s strategy produces a portfolio that looks very different from its benchmark. As a result, their results can diverge significantly. That said, over the past six months, the advisor’s health care and IT selections accounted for most of the portfolio’s edge over the index.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisor’s Report that follows.

Low cost and talent drive successful active management
Investors sometimes ask if it’s a contradiction that Vanguard, a champion of index investing, offers actively managed portfolios. But consider why indexing has proved its mettle: It’s a generally low-cost, tax-efficient way to build a diversified portfolio that lets you keep more of your investment’s returns.

The low-cost principle also helps drive our approach to active management. Talent is the other essential ingredient. Vanguard can afford to hire best-in-class active managers while keeping costs low because of our mutual ownership structure, philosophy, process, and culture. (You can read more in The Case for Vanguard Active Management: Solving the Low-Cost/Top-Talent Paradox? at vanguard.com/research.)

Of course, this strategy can’t guarantee success. Even when an active strategy outperforms over long periods—as the Capital Growth Portfolio has done—it doesn’t necessarily mean that investors earned more than the index results every year or even every decade. But for those willing to accept the greater risks that come with active investing, we believe Vanguard’s combination of talented advisors and low costs can improve the odds.

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio returned 17.42%, exceeding both the 13.82% return of its benchmark, the unmanaged S&P 500 Index, and the 11.63% average return of peer-group funds. Favorable stock selection in the health care and information technology sectors was the main reason for the strong performance.

Investment environment
The economic environment in the half year was clouded by uncertainty about the fiscal challenges faced by the U.S. government. Although the passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in early January averted the tax issues related to the “fiscal cliff,” it only delayed budget sequestration until March, when automatic spending reductions began to take effect. We expect that the federal spending cuts, along with higher payroll and other taxes, will hurt U.S. economic growth. Meanwhile, Europe continues to face economic difficulties resulting from sovereign-debt crises, as evidenced by the unconventional bailout of Cyprus.

The stock market shrugged off these challenges. Continued monetary stimulus by central banks in the United States, Europe, and Japan likely contributed to the strong gains. The recovery in the U.S. housing market appears to be accelerating, aided by low interest rates. The corporate sector remains strong, with profit margins near all-time highs. Growth in consumer spending has resumed despite the expiration of the payroll tax holiday at the beginning of 2013.

Management of the fund
Although our focus is on the long term, we are encouraged by the portfolio’s results for the past six months. After generally lagging the returns of the S&P 500 Index for the past three calendar years, our holdings outperformed. We remain committed to our investment philosophy, which is to identify stocks that, over the long term, will exceed the market’s expectations.

This strategy has led us to maintain significant investments in health care and information technology companies that we believe offer the potential for higher returns than the overall market. As of June 30, these sectors represented more than 60% of portfolio assets (versus about 30% of the S&P 500 Index). Nine of the ten largest holdings are either health care or technology stocks.

Health care
The health care sector in the S&P 500 returned 20% for the six-month period, the best performance among the ten sectors in the index. The portfolio’s health care holdings fared even better, returning more than 24%. The largest contributors to relative returns included Life Technologies (+51%), Biogen Idec (+47%), Roche (+28%), and Medtronic (+26%).

We remain excited about our health care holdings. Global demographic trends and ongoing innovation should keep health care companies growing for the foreseeable future. Aging populations worldwide, along with rising standards of living in emerging markets, should lead to greater demand for these firms’ products. As the proportion of elderly people in the population increases, spending within the sector will grow, because higher age groups typically consume three times as many health care resources as the general population. In addition, the willingness and ability to spend in this area should rise in developing nations as household wealth increases.

At the same time, the industry’s considerable investment in research and development over the years is driving the development of new and more effective therapies for many diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. The precipitous decline in the cost of genetic sequencing is allowing researchers to identify more diseases and to rapidly develop therapies to improve the standard of care and save lives. Increasingly, drugs developed through a better understanding of the genetic causes of disease are providing higher cure rates with fewer side effects than conventional treatments.

Technology
The portfolio’s holdings in information technology also contributed to its outperformance over the half year. Within the S&P 500 Index, the sector returned approximately 6%, the second-lowest return among the ten index sectors. However, the portfolio’s information technology stocks returned 17%. The largest contributors to relative returns included Micron Technology (+126%), Microsoft (+31%), Google (+24%), and Adobe Systems (+21%). The portfolio also benefited from its minimal position in Apple (–25%) relative to the benchmark.

We believe that the portfolio’s technology holdings remain attractively valued. In fact, the price/earnings (P/E) ratio of the technology sector relative to the S&P 500 Index is at its lowest level since 1990. Many of our stocks have free-cash-flow yields above 7%, placing them in the top quintile among nonfinancial companies in the S&P 500.

These valuation metrics appear even more compelling when we consider the strong growth prospects and rising cash balances that characterize many of our technology holdings. We continue to believe, as we have said in the past, that these companies should benefit as consumers and businesses find ever more uses for computer technology, driving growth in demand for semiconductors, computer hardware, software, storage, networking, and services such as consulting and data analytics.

Other sector highlights
An underweighting of the financial sector hurt relative returns for the period. The lack of exposure was partially offset by stock selection, the main example being Charles Schwab (+49%). The portfolio benefited

26


 

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

from an underweight position in energy and from its lack of any utilities or telecommunication services stocks.

Sony (+90%), in the consumer discretionary sector, and European Aeronautic Defence & Space (+39%) in industrials were among the top contributors to relative results. Our largest detractors were Potash Corporation (–5%) in the materials sector and C.H. Robinson (–10%) in industrials.

Outlook
As we consider the remainder of 2013, we are more cautious in our outlook for U.S. equities than we were a year ago. The S&P 500 Index has appreciated significantly and is trading at an all-time high, and we believe valuations are stretched in some segments of the market. We have concerns regarding the outlook for economic growth, which, if restrained, could pressure revenue and earnings expansion. Furthermore, the ongoing uncertainties surrounding fiscal and tax policies are discouraging consumers and companies from making investment decisions.

However, equities remain attractively valued relative to bonds and most other asset classes, which makes it likelier that net investment flows from bonds and money market funds to equities can support equity prices. From mid-2007 to year-end 2012, domestic equity funds experienced more than $600 billion in net outflows and bond funds gained more than $1.1 trillion in net inflows. If investors develop a greater tolerance for risk as they seek higher returns, this trend could reverse, leading to higher stock prices.

Despite our caution, we are optimistic about investment opportunities in certain segments of the market. Specifically, valuations in health care and information technology continue to appear attractive, especially relative to the other sectors in the S&P 500 Index. Their P/E ratios relative to the overall index are below their 15-year averages. Health care is trading in line with the S&P 500 instead of at its typical 10% premium, and information technology is trading at a 10% discount to the index instead of at its historical 35% premium.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

1 S&P 500 Index.

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio 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.

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 portfolio’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. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

6. 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. 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. PRIMECAP Management Company provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the portfolio’s average net assets.

33


 

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $64,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 455,603 25,363
Temporary Cash Investments 51,773
Total 507,376 25,363

 

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency gains of $10,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $417,811,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $114,928,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $126,420,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $11,492,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $52,586,000 of investment securities and sold $21,015,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 5,008 3,496
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 871 579
Redeemed (1,828) (5,305)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,051 (1,230)

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 61% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Capital Growth Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory agreement with PRIMECAP Management Company (PRIMECAP Management). The board determined that the retention of PRIMECAP Management was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that PRIMECAP Management, founded in 1983, is recognized for its long-term approach to growth equity investing. Five experienced portfolio managers are responsible for separate sub-portfolios, and each portfolio manager employs a fundamental, research-driven approach in seeking to identify companies with both long-term growth potential overlooked by the market and stock trading at attractive valuation levels. The firm has managed the portfolio since its inception in 2002.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of PRIMECAP Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee because PRIMECAP Management is independent of Vanguard, and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the negotiated advisory fee rate without any need for asset-level breakpoints. The advisory fee rate is very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group.

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

Vanguard® Conservative Allocation Portfolio

For the half year ended June 30, 2013, the Conservative Allocation Portfolio returned 2.25%. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark (2.43%) and ahead of the average return of peer funds (1.94%).

As planned, we’ve transitioned 22 of our index funds to new benchmark indexes, including Vanguard Total International Stock Market Index Fund, one of the underlying funds of your portfolio. The new international benchmark is the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index. We also increased diversification within the portfolio by adding a 12% allocation to Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund. The portfolio’s overall fixed income allocation and strategic asset allocation have not changed. These changes were completed by June 30, 2013.

As a “fund of funds,” the Conservative Allocation Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of its benchmark by investing in a combination of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund (VVIF) portfolios and Vanguard index funds. While the exact percentages may vary, the portfolio targets an asset allocation of approximately 60% bonds and 40% stocks through the following holdings: VVIF Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

(48%), VVIF Equity Index Portfolio (22%), Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (12%), Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund (12%), and Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund (6%).

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

U.S. stocks far outpaced international stocks and U.S. bonds
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks were mostly on the ascent amid signs that the housing recovery was progressing and the job market was perking up.

Nearly all industry sectors in all corners of the U.S. market posted positive returns, with most posting double-digit returns. Financial, health care, and consumer discretionary stocks were among the strongest contributors in the VVIF Equity Index Portfolio, which covers larger U.S. companies and returned 13.72%.

The Extended Market Index Fund, which encompasses U.S. mid- and small-capitalization stocks, gained 15.58%.

With slowing growth in China and fresh worries about the European debt crisis, international stocks lagged their U.S. counterparts by a wide margin. The Total International Stock Index Fund returned –0.49%, with Japan doing well among developed nations while European stocks barely rose. Emerging markets took a significant step back as investors, worried about disappointing data, shifted their investments to the United States and Japan.

U.S. bond prices fell as interest rates bounced up
Six-month returns from U.S. investment-grade bonds slid into negative territory for the first time in five years as interest rates rose, causing bond prices to fall. The VVIF Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned –2.54%.

Yields of U.S. Treasuries across most of the maturity spectrum ended the period higher, in part because of the signaling by Federal Reserve officials that further improvements in the economy might warrant an easing of their bond-buying program before the end of the year.

The divergent performance of stocks and bonds in the first half of 2013 highlights the virtues of a simple and disciplined investment strategy such as that followed by Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio: Invest in multiple asset classes, diversify within them, and regularly rebalance to stay close to the target asset allocation.

Portfolio Asset Allocation


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

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Portfolios that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another fund.

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio follows a balanced investment strategy by investing in selected Vanguard funds and portfolios to achieve its targeted allocation of assets to U.S. stocks, international stocks, U.S. bonds, and international bonds. Financial statements and other information about each underlying fund and portfolio are available on vanguard.com. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

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

1. Security Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2011–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

42


 

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio

4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the portfolio. The service agreement provides that the portfolio’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the portfolio. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the period ended June 30, 2013, were borne by the funds in which the portfolio invests. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard and the funds in which the portfolio invests.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At June 30, 2013, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. Short-term capital gain distributions received are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, and cannot be offset by capital losses.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $85,381,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $819,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,840,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,659,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $44,640,000 of investment securities and sold $20,082,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

G. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A typical portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. The Conservative Allocation Portfolio has no direct expenses, but bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the acquired fund fees and expenses, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio 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 costs were calculated using the acquired fund fees and expenses for the Conservative Allocation Portfolio.

The accompanying table illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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. The portfolio’s expense figure does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

1 The calculations are based on the Conservative Allocation Portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses for the most recent six-month period. The Conservative Allocation Portfolio’s annualized expense figure for
that period is 0.19%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted expense ratio for the underlying funds, 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.

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Conservative Allocation Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services since the portfolio’s inception, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the performance of the portfolio since its inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary page of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses were well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. The portfolio does not incur advisory expenses directly. However, the board noted that each of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests has advisory expenses well below the underlying fund’s peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that Vanguard’s at-cost arrangement with the portfolio and its underlying funds ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Diversified Value Portfolio

Large-capitalization value stocks maintained their lead over their growth-oriented counterparts in the first half of 2013: The Russell 1000 Value Index finished more than 4 percentage points ahead of the companion Growth Index. In this favorable environment, Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio earned a robust return of 14.60%, although it didn’t quite manage to keep pace with its comparative standards.

Please note that the returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

Strong results in large sectors but some shortfalls in smaller ones
As yield-hungry investors again favored value stocks for their generally higher dividends, the portfolio notched solid double-digit gains in most sectors—and all of them advanced. Two of its largest sectors, financials and health care, were standouts. The continued gains of financial stocks this year reflect an especially welcome and striking turnaround after the 2008–2009 financial crisis.

When considering performance relative to the benchmark index, it’s important to keep in mind that the advisor typically holds only about 50 stocks, whereas the Russell 1000 Value Index is composed of nearly 700. In a concentrated portfolio, the returns of a few holdings can lead to notable divergence from the index. During the half year, the advisor’s relatively large investments in tobacco stocks performed poorly. Although the portfolio steered clear of some struggling materials companies and made rewarding selections in financials and health care, these decisions were not enough to close the gap.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisor’s Report that follows. On a separate note, you’ll see in that report that two associate portfolio managers are listed: Jeff Fahrenbruch and David Ganucheau. Previously analysts for the portfolio, they are named along with James Barrow, who has advised the fund since its inception in 1999 and who remains portfolio manager.

Low cost and talent drive successful active management
Investors sometimes ask whether it’s a contradiction that Vanguard, a champion of index investing, offers actively managed investments such as the Diversified Value Portfolio. But consider why indexing has proved its mettle: It’s a generally low-cost, tax-efficient way to build a diversified portfolio that lets you keep more of your investment’s returns.

The low-cost principle also helps drive our approach to active management. Talent is the other essential ingredient. Vanguard can afford to hire best-in-class active managers while keeping costs low because of our mutual ownership structure, philosophy, process, and culture. (You can read more in The Case for Vanguard Active Management: Solving the Low-Cost/Top-Talent Paradox? at vanguard.com/research.)

Of course, this strategy can’t guarantee success. And even when an active strategy outperforms over long periods—as the Diversified Value Portfolio has done—investors won’t necessarily earn more than the index results every year or even every decade. But for those willing to accept the greater risks that come with active investing, we believe Vanguard’s combination of talented advisors and low costs can improve the odds.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The Diversified Value Portfolio returned 14.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, versus 15.90% for the benchmark Russell 1000 Value Index.

Investment environment
Although the press gave investors lots to worry about (it sells advertising), equities reached a new high, consistent with record corporate earnings. Interest rates, while up in the past month, are still at a benign level and generally not competing with equities to provide current yield. The problems that do exist in emerging markets, Europe, and Washington are reflected in the level of bank confidence here and abroad.

We are experiencing greater investor interest in stocks (chasing performance). Large amounts of cash appear ready to enter the market, which is in part why price corrections seem limited. As yet, stocks are not at a dangerous level, but the fear in the fixed income area and concerns about returns in short-term investments could make for interesting times. Europe is in a recession; emerging markets, which key off of China, as do commodities, are weak. Consequently, the U.S. dollar is strong. So much for conventional wisdom.

Successes and shortfalls
Top-performing sectors for the six months included financials, a group sensitive to interest rate movements; health care, an area in which we have a significant overweighting relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index; and information technology.

The portfolio’s financial stocks performed well as the sell-off in the bond market drove interest rates higher. Leaders were two consumer credit companies, American Express and SLM, and banks including PNC Financial Services Group, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan Chase. Many financial firms will benefit from higher interest rates through higher net interest margins, the spread they charge between the cost of funds and the rate at which they lend them. Net interest margins have been under pressure in the prolonged low-interest-rate environment. The outlook for higher dividends and buybacks in financials remains robust.

The health care sector has proven a fertile source of companies trading at discounted valuations, high free-cash-flow yields, and significant potential for capital return. Two holdings outperformed nicely: WellPoint, a health benefits company, and Medtronic, a medical device maker. We took advantage of recent market volatility to establish a new position in Merck & Co., a stable and growing company with diabetes, vaccine, animal health, and consumer franchises.

Microsoft was a primary contributor in the information technology sector. The stock has performed well as investors increasingly look past the decline of the traditional personal computer market and focus on the success of the enterprise business. Revenues grew there despite very weak sales of PCs. The vast majority of Microsoft’s earnings come from its business-oriented software sales, which remain strong. The company’s cloud offering has continued to do very well, and a good lineup of new product releases is still to come this year.

Our largest problem was in consumer staples (particularly tobacco stocks), which had been strong for the past couple of years. The primary detractor was Imperial Tobacco Group, which has suffered chiefly from a geography problem. More than 60% of its earnings come from Europe and the United Kingdom, where economic weakness has hampered consumer spending on tobacco-related products. We are still positive on our holdings in this sector, although they are somewhat defensive.

Significant Portfolio Changes  
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013  
 
New Positions Comments
General Dynamics We purchased this stock not so much to participate in the
  sequester as to gain exposure to the very large business aircraft
  industry. This area may well see increased profitability as new
  production facilities open and the company begins production on
  the large Gulfstream. The company has a below-average P/E and
  an above-average dividend yield.
Merck & Co. After several years of underperformance in anticipation of some
  drug patents expiring, Merck is on its way to resuming longer-
  term earnings growth. The high-quality company enjoys a strong
  balance sheet and a well-covered dividend, and the stock sells at a
         below-market P/E. 
 
Closed Positions Comments
International Business Machines This stock has been a portfolio mainstay for several years. As the
  company’s business improved, the dividend increased. However, a
  change in top management and growing evidence that other firms in
  the areas of outsourcing technology and cloud computing are having
  earnings shortfalls have led us to take a wait-and-see approach.
Vodafone Group This company seems to have lost its way. It is interested in
  expanding into difficult areas, and, although it has a high dividend,
  it is not committed to this and earnings are unpredictable. There is
  likely a better place to invest.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Our portfolio positioning
The portfolio is well-positioned for an improving market. We have significant weightings in financials, particularly banks, along with health care, energy, and industrials.

With fewer than 50 stocks, the portfolio sells at a P/E discount to the benchmark and provides a higher dividend yield. Turnover has been low, and cash flow into the portfolio has been positive at a time when many mutual funds had outflows.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

4. 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. 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. Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC, provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the portfolio’s performance for the preceding three years relative to the MSCI Prime Market 750 Index. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.13% of the portfolio’s average net assets before a decrease of $43,000 (0.01%) based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $126,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At June 30, 2013, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2012, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $11,223,000 to offset future net capital gains through December 31, 2018. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2013; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $886,461,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $141,459,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $229,607,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $88,148,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $125,706,000 of investment securities and sold $94,129,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 37% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.06 1.76

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.35%. 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.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Diversified Value Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory agreement with Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (Barrow Hanley). The board determined that the retention of Barrow Hanley was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Barrow Hanley, founded in 1979, is known for its commitment to value investing. A subsidiary of Old Mutual Asset Managers, Barrow Hanley remains independently managed. Using a combination of in-depth fundamental research and valuation forecasts, Barrow Hanley seeks stocks offering strong fundamentals and price appreciation potential, with below average price-to-earnings and price-to-book value ratios, and above-average current yields. The firm has managed the portfolio since its inception in 1999.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of Barrow Hanley in determining whether to approve the advisory fee because Barrow Hanley is independent of Vanguard and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the advisory fee rate negotiated with Barrow Hanley without any need for asset-level breakpoints. The advisory fee rate is very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group.

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

Vanguard® Equity Income Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio returned 15.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, behind the 16.12% return of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index but a few steps ahead of the average return of peer funds. The portfolio is invested in holdings that the advisors believe offer the potential not only for sustainable dividends but also for price appreciation. Such value-oriented stocks remained in favor with investors.

At the end of June, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield stood at 2.70%, down slightly from December 2012 but almost 1 percentage point higher than the broad stock market’s yield as reflected in Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio.

Please note that the returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

Double-digit gains were tempered by some relative weakness
Reflecting its dividend-focused mandate, the Equity Income Portfolio held more than two-thirds of its assets, on average, in five sectors that are home to many slower-growing, blue-chip companies: consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, and industrials. Four of these posted solid double-digit gains, and the fifth, energy, wasn’t far behind.

Some of the brightest spots were in financials and health care, which together accounted for about one-third of the portfolio’s six-month return. Banks continued to put distance between the financial crisis and their balance sheets, and pharmaceutical firms profited from stronger pipelines of new drugs and favorable regulatory rulings. Industrial giants and household-brand consumer staples companies also contributed notably.

Notwithstanding these successes, the advisors’ selections among energy, information technology, and financial stocks were weak compared with the benchmark. Shares of some global energy behemoths that are not part of the index weighed on returns, as did stakes in some semiconductor firms. On the plus side, the portfolio’s electric utility holdings and avoidance of some mining companies boosted relative performance.

It’s worth noting that the portfolio reached its 20-year milestone in June. From day one, it has remained true to its mandate of focusing solely on high-dividend-paying stocks.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows.

In pursuing investment goals, your long-term asset mix is key
It’s understandable that investors have been attracted by dividend-paying stocks during what has been a protracted period of unusually low interest rates. But in the quest for yield, it’s important not to lose sight of your long-term goals—and of the fact that stocks play a different role in a portfolio than bonds.

Whether you are investing in higher-yielding stocks or any other asset or sub-asset class, Vanguard recommends that you stay focused on an overall allocation that is consistent with your investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Equity Income Portfolio returned 15.27%. The FTSE High Dividend Yield Index returned 16.12%, and peer funds returned an average of 13.60%. The portfolio is managed by two independent advisors, a strategy that enhances diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also provided a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the first half of 2013 and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on July 12, 2013.

Wellington Management Company, LLP

Portfolio Manager:
W. Michael Reckmeyer, III, CFA, Senior Vice President

Equity markets continued their upward momentum in the first half of 2013. The markets have been supported by aggressive monetary policy, but this appears to be changing, given Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s comments about the possibility of winding down the Fed’s quantitative easing in late 2013 and 2014.

His comments led to a sharp increase in interest rates and may have signaled an inflection point for global liquidity. Although we don’t expect higher interest rates to disrupt the improving domestic economy, the risk of unintended consequences will exist as this process unfolds.

The U.S. economy continues to improve, albeit at moderate growth rates. We anticipate that the pace of U.S. economic growth will pick up in the second half of 2013 as the negative effects of tax reform and sequestration moderate. Several factors support this outlook, including ongoing improvement in the housing and automobile markets, the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing, and the rise of the oil shale industry.

Economic activity in Europe remains lackluster, with growth about flat. Germany and the United Kingdom are experiencing expansion, but this is being offset by continued sluggishness in southern Europe. We are seeing some evidence of stabilization in these challenged economies and are hopeful for 2014.

Chinese economic growth has been disappointing. The government seems focused on reining in the shadow banking system and shutting down inefficient manufacturing capacity, with a goal of shifting to a more consumer-driven economy. This is resulting in slower progress and a risk that the transition may be more disruptive than expected.

Our significant purchases during the past six months included new positions in Suncor Energy, Verizon Communications, Time Warner Cable, and health care provider Baxter International. We eliminated our holdings in American Electric Power and PPL as they achieved our target prices, and sold out of Swiss Re, Kohl’s, and Darden Restaurants because of their eroding fundamentals.

In the first six months of 2013, U.S. equities experienced two very different quarters, with dividend-yielding shares performing a bit better than the overall market. The broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, was up 11.07% in the first quarter. During this period corporate earnings surpassed their October 2007 peak, marking an 8% increase over that time and a 125% increase since the market bottom in March 2009. (Earnings here are measured by the trailing 12-month earnings per share of the S&P 500 Index.)

The strong equity performance began to cool off in mid-May, ending with a gain of just 2.69% for the second quarter.

This reversal came on the heels of the Federal Reserve’s signal that it might start to wind down its quantitative easing policy if improvement continued in some economic indicators, such as employment and housing. Adding to concerns were disappointing data from China and Japan and continued woes in most European economies.

Within the high-dividend-yield universe, all ten sector groups provided gains for the half year, with technology, financial, and consumer discretionary stocks in the lead. Materials companies offered the smallest returns.

The six-month results for our stock selection models, which we use to rank companies against their industry peers, were mixed. Our quality, market sentiment, and valuation models were successful in identifying the top-performing companies and raised overall performance, but our management decisions and growth indicators detracted.

Our individual company selection boosted performance in six sectors and disappointed in four. Materials, utilities, and consumer discretionary stocks added the most to our returns relative to the benchmark.

In consumer discretionary, overweight positions in H&R Block, Gannett, and GameStop were the major contributors. In materials and utilities, we benefited the most from underweight allocations or lack of exposure to Freeport McMoRan, Newmont Mining, FirstEnergy, and Southern Company. However, overweight positions in Huntsman, Glatfelter, and Vectren also helped.

Company selections in health care, consumer staples, and energy were net detractors from our relative returns. Kimberly-Clark and Altria in consumer staples and Valero and ConocoPhillips in energy did not perform as expected, while underweight positions in Bristol-Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson in health care hurt our overall relative results.

Investment Focus


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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio 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.

66


 

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

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 portfolio’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 portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio 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 portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

4. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the portfolio under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio.

5. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

7. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

67


 

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

8. 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. 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 a portion of the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fee of Wellington Management Company, llp, is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index.

The Vanguard Group provides investment advisory services to a portion of the portfolio on an at-cost basis; the portfolio paid Vanguard advisory fees of $106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.09% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before an increase of $2,000 (0.00%) based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $98,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 744,963 36,800
Temporary Cash Investments 43,291 7,598
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (109)
Total 788,145 44,398
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

E. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
S&P 500 Index September 2013 750 13,194 (279)
E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2013 150 10,636 25

 

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

F. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency losses of $4,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2012, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $20,776,000 to offset future net capital gains through December 31, 2017. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2013; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $693,662,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $138,990,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $148,955,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $9,965,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $189,171,000 of investment securities and sold $130,184,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended

  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 3,683 6,168

Redeemed (1,696) (4,298)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 2,977 2,771

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 76% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

I. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Equity Income Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangements with Wellington Management Company, llp (Wellington Management), and The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Equity Investment Group. The board determined that the retention of the advisors was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following:

Wellington Management. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The portfolio manager is backed by a well-tenured team of research analysts who conduct detailed fundamental analysis of their respective industries and companies. Wellington Management has provided high-quality advisory services for the portfolio and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term. The firm has advised a portion of the portfolio since 2003.

Vanguard. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth. Vanguard has managed a portion of the portfolio since 2003.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of Wellington Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee because Wellington Management is independent of Vanguard, and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations. The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard, because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for shareholders.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the advisory fee rate negotiated with Wellington Management without any need for asset-level breakpoints. Wellington Management’s advisory fee rate is very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group. The board also concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as the portfolio’s assets managed by Vanguard increase.

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

Vanguard® Equity Index Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio returned 13.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as the U.S. stock market rose sharply for the first five months before stepping backward slightly in June. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (13.82%) and about even with the average return of peer funds (13.70%).

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards for the half year.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

All ten sectors recorded gains, with financials leading the way
For most of the period, U.S. stocks were on the ascent amid signs that the housing recovery was progressing and the job market was perking up. The S&P 500 Index, whose performance Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio seeks to track, achieved a succession of new highs in March, April, and May amid solid corporate earnings and encouraging U.S. economic data.

But markets turned rocky after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said June 19 that the central bank might decide to begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying later this year. Still, U.S. stocks remained a safe haven for many investors anxious about unrest in Brazil and the Middle East, the recession in Europe, and signs of trouble in China’s economy.

All ten industry sectors posted positive returns in the Equity Index Portfolio, with six of them recording double-digit returns. Financial, health care, and consumer discretionary stocks contributed the most.

Financials, the second-largest sector, contributed more than a fifth of the portfolio’s overall return. Diversified financial services companies and commercial banks profited from better lending conditions and the recovering housing market. Asset managers also thrived.

Results were solid for health care and consumer discretionary stocks
Health care was the next-largest contributor to return. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies were among the best performers as the industry continued to benefit from favorable rulings by the Food and Drug Administration and improved pipelines of new medicines.

The consumer discretionary sector also performed strongly. U.S. consumers were more confident about the economy and employment than they have been in several years. They spent more on entertainment, shopping, and eating out. Media companies notched gains, as did specialty retailers, hotels, and restaurants.

The portfolio did not benefit as much from its large weighting (about 18% of assets, on average) in information technology. Some personal computer makers did better by cutting costs. But the sector was hurt most by its holdings in the tablet and smartphone business; competition in it is fierce, and several key players fell short of earnings expectations as new products failed to deliver.

Look past the inevitable bumps, and stay focused on the long term
The recent optimism in the U.S. stock market faded quickly in the last month of the fiscal half year. The swing in sentiment is a good reminder of how quickly market conditions can change and how futile it is to try to predict short-term trends.

At Vanguard, we encourage our clients to stay focused on their long-term plans rather than on the market’s unpredictable ups and downs. Maintaining a portfolio that includes a broadly diversified and steady combination of stocks, bonds, and cash investments consistent with your long-term goals and risk tolerance can help you stay the course amid sporadic short-term turbulence. The Equity Index Portfolio can play a crucial role in such a portfolio by providing broad and low-cost exposure to the large-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

Investment Focus


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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 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.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The portfolio may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The portfolio may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks

80


 

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

6. 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. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $342,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 2,766,766
Temporary Cash Investments 12,474 400
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (37)
Total 2,779,203 400
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

S&P 500 Index September 2013 11 4,398 (41)
E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2013 45 3,598 (73)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,392,356,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $387,284,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $664,652,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $277,368,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $121,509,000 of investment securities and sold $72,984,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 5,318 3,695

 

At June 30, 2013, two shareholders (an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, and Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio), were each the record or beneficial owner of 30% or more of the portfolio’s net assets, with a combined ownership of 64%. If one of these shareholders were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.00 0.80

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.16%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Equity Index Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Growth Portfolio

When the stock market recovery began in March 2009, growth stocks generally outperformed their value counterparts. But the trend reversed last year, and large-company growth stocks continued to trail their value-oriented counterparts through the first half of 2013. The Russell 1000 Growth Index’s six-month return of 11.80% was more than 4 percentage points behind that of the Russell 1000 Value Index. With a return of 10.81%, Vanguard Growth Portfolio lagged its benchmark index but was a step ahead of the average return of its peer group.

Please note that the returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

Smaller sectors delivered some of the best returns
When investors think of growth stocks, consumer staples and financial companies are not often top-of-mind. However, the portfolio’s advisors have found attractive opportunities in both relatively small sectors. They delivered six-month returns of approximately 29% and 26%, respectively—and boosted returns compared with the benchmark.

Consumer discretionary stocks, the portfolio’s second-largest sector, also posted strong double-digit returns, powered by internet retailers. However, information technology holdings—the largest slice of the portfolio, averaging about 35% of assets—had a low return despite some strong performers.

Although the portfolio had a respectable double-digit return in health care, it lagged the index sector’s return by several percentage points, primarily because of the advisors’ choices among major pharmaceutical firms.

In June, the portfolio reached its 20-year milestone. We believe early results from the current team of advisors, in place since 2010, suggest that the portfolio is well-positioned to deliver competitive long-term returns.

For more on the Growth Portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows.

Benefits of combining low costs with diversity of thought
Investors sometimes ask why Vanguard uses a multi-advisor approach for many of its actively managed equity portfolios. Just as we recommend diversification within and across asset classes for an investor’s overall investments, we think significant benefits can accrue from using multiple advisors for a single portfolio: diversity of investment process and style, thought, and holdings.

All of these elements have the potential to result in less risk and better results. Because not all investment managers invest the same way, their returns relative to the benchmark don’t move in lockstep.

Conventional wisdom, however, suggests that multi-manager funds tend to be expensive. At Vanguard, this is not the case, because low costs are a hallmark of all of our offerings. And Vanguard research indicates that low costs contribute greatly to investing success, helping investors keep more of a portfolio’s return.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

The Growth Portfolio returned 10.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with an 11.80% return for the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index and the 10.50% average return of peer funds.

The portfolio is overseen by three independent advisors, a strategy that enhances its diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the first half of 2013 and of the effect this environment had on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on July 15, 2013.

Two of the largest contributors to our six-month performance relative to the benchmark were trading exchanges: IntercontinentalExchange and CME Group. These stocks rose as investors considered what a potential winding down of the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program would mean for the companies. A significant change in interest rates—and the ensuing shifts in asset allocations and hedging strategies by market participants—should boost trading volumes, directly aiding the exchanges.

In addition, we believe these firms should benefit from the increasing demand for trading transparency from both investors and legislators.

In the case of IntercontinentalExchange, another source of stock strength was the markets’ growing confidence in the company’s ability to generate value from a recent transformative acquisition.

Detractors from relative performance included VeriFone Systems and Teradata. VeriFone experienced several problems, notably earnings that missed analysts’ expectations and the resignation of the CEO, with a permanent successor not yet chosen. Although the news was negative, we believe the company’s core business and competitive position in the electronic payment-processing industry are more attractive than was perceived by the market. We also believe that the underlying issues have been addressed and that the business should improve under new senior management. We continue to hold the stock at a relatively low weight to help mitigate risk associated with the management transition and stock volatility.

Teradata shares suffered as concerns grew about a difficult spending environment for information technology and recently reported earnings that missed expectations. Nonetheless, Teradata continues to sign up new clients and expand its existing business. The company also is still benefiting from the market’s overall favorable view of the cloud computing and business analytics industry. We believe that this mid-sized database software firm, which specializes in aggregating data for business analytics and decision-making, is well-positioned.

Recent equity market volatility suggests to us that many investors are very uncertain about the pace of global economic recovery and are assessing factors such as the lingering European sovereign debt crisis. Although fundamentals in some places may be improving (from a very low base during the financial crisis in 2008–2009), we don’t believe we are entering a typical post-recessionary global boom cycle. Rather, we believe the lingering effects of the credit crisis could lead to moderate growth, at best. In such a tenuous environment, we believe the quality of a company’s business model, competitive position, and management may prove to be of utmost importance.

Regardless of the economic situation, we remain consistent in our long-term investment philosophy. We want to own what we view as strong secular-growth companies with solid business models and competitive positions that can grow market share and potentially deliver shareholder value in a variety of environments.

U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, gained 13.82% during the period, reaching an all-time high in May. Value stocks outperformed growth shares, and small-caps led their larger peers.

In our portion of the portfolio, stock selection within the consumer staples and information technology sectors was strong. This was offset by unfavorable choices in consumer discretionary and health care.

In terms of individual holdings, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters was our top contributor. Green Mountain is the leading provider of single-cup brewers and portion packs (K-Cups) for coffee and other hot beverages. Shares soared after the market responded favorably to the company’s better-than-expected quarterly earnings results; management also raised its full-year earnings guidance. Profit margins exceeded investors’ expectations, particularly in the K-Cup segment. We view the stock as an attractive investment for long-term investors, and we continue to hold it.

Our position in medical device company Edwards Lifesciences detracted from results. The firm specializes in heart valve technology and treatments for cardiovascular diseases. It reported disappointing first-quarter results because of poor transcatheter heart valve sales—which we had thought would drive growth of the business—and management lowered its 2013 guidance. We eliminated the position after our research led us to believe the end market would be smaller than expected.

At the end of June, our largest sector overweighting relative to the index was in consumer discretionary companies, where we continue to find long-term growth opportunities. Our most significant underweighting was in consumer staples.

Ongoing improvement in economic data, especially in housing and employment, pushed stocks to a high mark in May. In June, the market witnessed its only, albeit minor, hiccup of the year as the Federal Reserve signaled an eventual slowdown in its bond-buying stimulus program. Stocks experienced a short-lived correction on worries that such “tapering” could create a drag on the economy and on investor psychology. However, the half year ended on a positive note, in part because market participants realized the Fed would only act to the extent the economy stayed on a sustainable path to recovery.

Investors’ gravitation toward cheaper stocks hurt performance in our portion of the portfolio because we typically underweight that segment of the market. However, this dynamic reversed late in the period as interest rates rose, seemingly reducing demand for the cheaper, higher-dividend-yielding stocks that were popular while rates were historically low.

Stock selection in information technology was the largest source of under-performance. Cognizant Technology Solutions and Apple were the primary detractors. Allergan, within health care, was another laggard. On the upside, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (consumer staples) and two financial selections, JP Morgan Chase and Affiliated Managers Group, benefited our results.

In the months ahead, any tapering of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve will be closely watched by the marketplace for its impact on economic growth. However, corporate performance remains solid, and U.S. stocks have been a relatively safe haven in comparison with more interest-rate-sensitive asset classes, commodities, and global stocks. Broadly speaking, the improving U.S. housing market should continue to boost employment and growth.

In the end, while we factor various economic scenarios into our stock-picking, we place our focus on constructing the portfolio from a bottom-up perspective, and we continue to find good ideas across sectors.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Growth Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio 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.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio 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 portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the portfolio under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements. 5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

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. 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. Delaware Investments Fund Advisers; Wellington Management Company, llp; and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fee of William Blair & Company is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding five years relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The basic fee of Delaware Investments Fund Advisers and Wellington Management Company, llp, are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance since December 31, 2010, relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

The Vanguard Group manages the cash reserves of the portfolio on an at-cost basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.14% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before a decrease of $20,000 (0.01%) based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $42,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. The portfolio has asked its investment advisor to direct certain security trades, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to brokers who have agreed to rebate to the portfolio part of the commissions generated. Such rebates are used solely to reduce the portfolio’s management and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, these arrangements reduced the portfolio’s expenses by $4,000 (an annual rate of 0.00% of average net assets).

E. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 329,067
Temporary Cash Investments 11,032 1,400
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (36)
Total 340,063 1,400
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

F. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

S&P 500 Index September 2013 17 6,797 (93)
E-mini S&P MidCap Index September 2013 16 1,853 (25)

 

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

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

G. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2012, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $34,785,000 to offset future net capital gains of $20,863,000 through December 31, 2016, and $13,922,000 through December 31, 2017. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2013; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $274,057,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $67,442,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $72,679,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,237,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

H. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $75,387,000 of investment securities and sold $78,091,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

I. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 626 3,555
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 106 86
Redeemed (1,544) (2,675)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding (812) 966

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 81% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

J. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.41%. 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.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Growth Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory agreements with Delaware Management Company, which was subsequently assumed by Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (Delaware Investments), Wellington Management Company, llp (Wellington Management), and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. (William Blair). The board determined that the retention of the advisors was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following: Delaware Investments. An indirect subsidiary of Australia-based Macquarie Group, Delaware Investments is a Philadelphia-based investment management firm. The firm invests primarily in common stocks of large-capitalization, growth-oriented companies that it believes have long-term capital appreciation potential and expects to grow faster than the U.S. economy. Delaware Investments uses a bottom-up approach, seeking companies that have large-end market potential, dominant business models, and strong free cash flow generation that is attractively priced compared to the intrinsic value of securities. Delaware Investments has managed a portion of the portfolio since 2010.

Wellington Management. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional managers. The firm employs a traditional bottom-up fundamental research approach to identify securities that possess sustainable growth at reasonable valuations. Wellington Management identifies companies that have demonstrated above-average growth in the past, then thoroughly reviews each company’s business model and assesses its valuation. Wellington Management has managed a portion of the portfolio since 2010.

William Blair. Founded in 1935, William Blair is an independently owned, full-service investment firm. The firm uses an investment process that relies on thorough, in-depth fundamental analysis. Based on this process, the advisor invests in companies that it believes are of high quality and have sustainable, above-average growth. In selecting stocks, William Blair considers each company’s leadership position within the market it serves, the quality of products or services provided, return on equity, accounting policies, and the quality of the management team. William Blair has advised a portion of the portfolio since 2004.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory agreements should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of the advisors in determining whether to approve the advisory fees, because the firms are independent of Vanguard, and the advisory fees are the result of arm’slength negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the advisory fee rate negotiated with each advisor without any need for asset-level breakpoints. The advisory fee rates are very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group.

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

Vanguard® High Yield Bond Portfolio

Bonds slid into negative territory and stocks surged during the half year ended June 30, 2013, amid positive domestic economic data and rising interest rates. While high-yield bonds gained some ground early in the period, their performance turned negative in May and retreated further in June after comments from Federal Reserve officials that further improvements in the economy might warrant an easing of the Fed’s bond-buying program before the end of the year.

Because interest rates rose rapidly, the income generated by the portfolio during the period wasn’t enough to offset price declines in its holdings. The High Yield Bond Portfolio returned –0.59% for the six months. The higher-credit-quality bias of the portfolio hurt its performance relative to both its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, which returned 1.42%, and its peer group, whose average return was 1.34%.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

With bond prices falling on weaker demand, the yield of the portfolio rose. (Bond prices move inversely to yields.) The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield stood at 4.84% on June 30, up from 4.21% six months earlier.

Bond market reacts to the prospect of less support from the Fed
The Federal Reserve continued to provide unprecedented stimulus to the economy during the six-month period. It kept the federal funds target rate near zero to keep a lid on short-term interest rates while buying $85 billion per month of bonds to hold down borrowing costs. Bond yields moved significantly higher toward the end of the period, however, on indications from the Fed that further improvements in the labor and housing markets could lead to a scaling back of its support before the end of the year.

Yields of Treasuries were up across most of the maturity spectrum at the end of the period. The 10-year Treasury yield, for example, rose 72 basis points (a basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point) to end the period at 2.47%. Below-investment-grade bonds held up better. The average yield spread between high-yield bonds and Treasuries narrowed by 19 basis points to 492.

Among high-yield bonds, the strongest returns came from lower-rated issues—bonds rated Caa by Moody’s Investors Service returned 5.29%. In this environment, the portfolio’s strategic allocation to higher-credit-quality bonds proved a disadvantage in terms of relative performance.

And while the portfolio’s holdings in some sectors added to relative performance, security selection in financials and technology in particular detracted.

In pursuing investment goals, your long-term asset mix is key
Volatility and increased uncertainty can tempt investors to deviate from their investment plan. In the mutual fund industry, for example, the recent rise in bond yields has led to net redemptions from bond funds as investors try to sidestep losses that might arise from a sustained climb in interest rates.

Keep in mind, however, that although interest rates remain low, nobody is certain what their next move will be—much less how financial markets will react to the change. In fact, it’s precisely because short-term market movements are unpredictable that trying to time the markets often fails, as Vanguard and other researchers have found.

We continue to believe that sticking to a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments over the long haul—rather than making impulsive changes to try to avoid potential losses or capitalize on perceived opportunities—gives you the best chance of meeting your investment goals.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The investment environment
For the first six months of 2013, the High Yield Bond Portfolio returned –0.59%, compared with the benchmark return of 1.42%. The primary driver of performance for the period was the dramatic rise in U.S. Treasury rates and resulting decline in bond prices. Through May 9, high-yield bonds generated a return of nearly 5.77% and their average price rose $2. However, these gains were erased as the market reacted to Federal Reserve comments about the tapering of asset purchases and potential future rate hikes.

From a year-to-date low of 1.63% on May 2, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 84 basis points to end June at 2.47%. As bond yields and prices are inversely correlated, bond prices fell precipitously. Longer-duration and interest-rate-sensitive fixed income assets declined along with underlying Treasuries. In the case of the high-yield market, the average bond price fell nearly $6 from its peak in early May.

For the six months ended June 30, lower-quality bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds handily. Caa-rated bonds returned 5.29%, compared with 0.06% for Ba-rated and 1.20% for B-rated bonds. Higher-quality bonds underperformed because of their greater sensitivity to underlying Treasury rates. Conversely, lower-quality bonds, which typically carry larger coupons than higher-quality bonds, earned more income during the period to offset the drag from rates. The spread of the high-yield market narrowed from 511 basis points over Treasuries at the beginning of the year to 492 basis points as of June 30. The average price of high-yield bonds fell $3, to $102 at the end of the period.

The recent sell-off in the high-yield market has been driven by interest rates rather than by credit concerns. Indeed, ratings actions and default forecasts remain benign and balance sheets are in good shape. The ratio of credit agency downgrades to upgrades has been steady for two years at around 1.0x, while the portion of bonds rated Caa and below in the market has remained stable at around 17%. These two measures confirm that the underlying credit quality of the market is unchanged. Likewise, Moody’s Investors Service is forecasting a forward 12-month default rate of 2.7%, only a small change from the realized trailing 12-month default rate of 2.8%. These figures are still well below the long-term average of 3.9%.

By and large, high-yield issuers enjoy healthy credit profiles, having maintained solid gross margins and interest coverage ratios year-to-date. With our expectation of continued U.S. GDP expansion in 2013 and 2014, we believe most high-yield issuers will be able to sustain these profiles.

The new-issue calendar has been robust, with $205 billion raised in the global high-yield markets in the first six months of the year, ahead of the same period in 2011 and 2012. Issuance remains high-quality, with more than 80% of new-issue proceeds rated B or better. Issuers continue to exercise restraint in borrowing, emphasizing balance sheet repair over more aggressive activity such as repurchasing shares, paying special dividends, and engaging in leveraged acquisitions or buyouts.

In 2013, more than 60% of the gross proceeds have been for refinancing purposes, a creditor-friendly trend that has been solidly in place since 2009. In contrast, proceeds being used for shareholder-friendly activity totaled just 23%. In the past, elevated default cycles have typically occurred only after several years in which aggressive borrowing has exceeded 40% of the total. In this context, the high-yield market remains balanced and shows no signs of an imminent fundamental credit deterioration.

The portfolio’s successes
The portfolio benefited from its relative weightings in energy, homebuilding, and metals, and from positive credit selection in the utilities sector.

The portfolio’s shortfalls
The portfolio’s holdings in cash and in higher-quality, rate-sensitive bonds hurt relative performance for the six months. The portfolio was also hurt by its longer duration positioning. Relative weightings to the cable, supermarket, and retail sectors and credit selection in financials and technology hurt performance.

The portfolio’s positioning
The portfolio remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a meaningful exposure to relatively higher-quality names within the high-yield market. We believe these issuers have more consistent businesses and greater predictability of cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum. We favor higher-quality credits in an effort to minimize defaults and to provide stable income. We continue to diversify the portfolio’s holdings by issuer and industry while deemphasizing non-cash-paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity-linked securities such as convertibles owing to their potential for volatility.

Investment Focus


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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. Certain of the portfolio’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. mutual funds. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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. 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. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the portfolio’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. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the portfolio under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. Wellington Management Company, llp, provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.06% of the portfolio’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $68,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 1,389
Corporate Bonds 463,072
Preferred Stocks 10,542
Other 4
Temporary Cash Investments 22,900
Total 10,542 487,361 4

 

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, 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 portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2012, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $15,537,000 to offset future net capital gains of $4,991,000 through December 31, 2016, and $10,546,000 through December 31, 2017. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2013; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $486,198,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,709,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $17,409,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,700,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $106,125,000 of investment securities and sold $108,422,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 8,605 20,277
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 3,679 3,269
Redeemed (13,251) (9,426)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding (967) 14,120

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 66% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’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.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund High Yield Bond Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory agreement with Wellington Management Company, llp (Wellington Management). The board determined that the retention of Wellington Management was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Wellington Management, founded in 1928, is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The portfolio manager is backed by a well-tenured team of fixed income research analysts who conduct detailed fundamental analysis. The firm has provided high-quality advisory services for the portfolio and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term. Wellington Management has advised the portfolio since its inception in 1996.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of Wellington Management in determining whether to approve the advisory fee, because Wellington Management is independent of Vanguard and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the negotiated advisory fee rate without any need for asset-level breakpoints. The advisory fee rate is very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group.

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

Vanguard® International Portfolio

Stocks outside the United States achieved promising gains early in 2013 only to give back most of them in the second quarter. Investors became wary about economic growth prospects and when the U.S. Federal Reserve might begin to cut back its stimulative bond-buying. Vanguard International Portfolio returned 0.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, ahead of its benchmark index but behind the average return of peer funds.

Please note that the returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

Emerging markets lost steam while developed markets gained
Emerging market stocks, which have been some of the best performers since the global market recovery began in 2009, began to lose some of their allure. The tide turned, in part, because of concerns about slower growth in the world’s second-largest economy, China, which still has a growth rate that would be the envy of many developed economies. The slide in emerging market stocks was significant as they represented almost one-quarter of the portfolio’s assets, on average.

Stocks in developed European markets, the largest share of the portfolio’s assets, fared better—perhaps a surprising outcome given the financial woes in tiny Cyprus that dominated headlines and led to another Eurozone bailout agreement. But the developed Pacific region was the half year’s best performer. Encouraged by the “Abenomics” stimulative policies of Japan’s new prime minister, investors powered the Japanese market to a solid double-digit gain.

The advisors’ underweighting of Japan held back the portfolio’s results. However, this was more than offset by rewarding stock selection in China and other emerging markets as well as in Europe, especially France.

From an industry perspective, most sectors in the developed markets had positive returns; the reverse was true in emerging markets. In financials, the largest sector in the portfolio and the index, some of the advisors’ selections were disappointing; however, consumer discretionary holdings outperformed those in the benchmark.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows.

International stocks can offer the benefit of diversification
Stocks outside the United States have always performed differently than U.S. stocks. Even though this difference has lessened in recent years, holding both still can offer a diversification benefit—the potential to help lower overall volatility.

That’s why Vanguard continues to suggest that investors consider allocating a portion of their equity assets to international markets. Our research indicates that a 20% allocation to non-U.S. stocks may be a reasonable starting point to consider. (For more insight, see Considerations for Investing in Non-U.S. Equities on vanguard.com/research.)

Vanguard International Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the International Portfolio returned 0.68%, outpacing the –0.04% return of its benchmark index but lagging the 2.76% average return of peer funds. The portfolio is managed by three independent advisors, a strategy that enhances diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the amount and percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the first half of 2013 and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on July 16, 2013.

Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd.

Portfolio Managers:

James K. Anderson, Head of Global Equities Kave Sigaroudinia, Head of EAFE Alpha Research We have been resolutely upbeat recently, in contrast to a financial world that seems excessively pessimistic. Improvement is apparent to those who look for it, as the financial experiments of the past five years begin to bear results. The examples of reform in Europe and China, as well as signs of recovery in the United States, bode well for longer-term investors. Increasing globalization, rapid changes in technology, faster adoption rates for new technologies, and a concentration of profitability in a relatively small number of companies persist in shaping our portion of the portfolio.

Our focus in managing these assets has not changed: We aim to identify and invest in companies with strong, durable competitive advantages that provide a substantial growth opportunity. Our firms are exposed to attractive trends such as the rapid expansion of Chinese consumption, the disruptive influence of the internet on many traditional business models, and accelerating technological change.

The Chinese social network Tencent was our standout. This company’s established operations have become more profitable, and it is expanding its newer mobile platform domestically and overseas. Rakuten, the Japanese online mall operator, has also performed strongly as retailing shifts online and consumption improves under “Abenomics.” Our holdings in two iron ore mining companies, Fortescue Metals Group and Vale, were weak as the market became increasingly jittery over China’s future commodity consumption and the outlook for the price of ferrous ore.

During the half year, we acted on our relative optimism about Spain by taking a new position in Banco Popular, which stands out as a likely winner in the capital-constrained and consolidating Spanish banking sector. We also established holdings in Kinnevik, a Swedish family holding company that has stakes in a

number of e-commerce businesses globally, and Magnit, a leading Russian food retailer. We funded these positions, as well as additions to others, through sales of shares in Axel Springer, OGX, Oriflame, Petrobras, BHP Billiton and adidas Group.

We remain optimistic about the outlook for equity markets and committed to our approach of investing in growth companies for the long run. Please note that portfolio manager James K. Anderson is taking a six-month sabbatical during the second half of 2013. During this time, Kave Sigaroudinia, who serves as co-manager with Mr. Anderson, will serve as the sole portfolio manager. Mr. Anderson is expected to resume his role as co-manager early in 2014.

Markets enjoyed a strong start to the year, helped by the U.S. “fiscal cliff” compromise and growing optimism about the global economy. In mid-February, unsettled by Eurozone concerns including the inconclusive Italian election and the bailout of Cyprus, markets rotated into defensive and high-income stocks. This trend reversed in May, when cyclical and growth-focused stocks outperformed for a time. But markets fell again after comments from the U.S. Federal Reserve suggested that it might taper off its quantitative easing (QE) program.

With the U.S. economy showing greater resilience, the question of which companies, sectors, and regions can cope best with a normalization in U.S. interest rates has become a major theme for investors. During the half year, Japan was the strongest market on the back of “Abenomics.” Emerging markets were the weakest, suffering the most from concerns about a QE withdrawal, compounded by worry over the health of the Chinese economy.

Turning to performance: Our holdings in financials were the top contributors, with strength across Pacific developed markets ex Japan, continental Europe, and emerging markets. Japanese bank Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group added most to relative performance for our portion of the portfolio. The company is not only benefiting from the improved domestic environment but also being more proactive regarding shareholder returns, and it has raised its profit forecast. Health care stocks also stood out. The sector as a whole did well as investors looked for stable growth and dividend returns. All our health care holdings outperformed. Roche led the pack with a very strong development pipeline of innovative drugs.

Among sectors, consumer discretionary was our primary detractor versus the index. India-based Tata Motors hurt us most in this group, as Indian currency weakness and cyclically weak domestic sales offset strong growth in its Jaguar Land Rover international business. We expect domestic car sales to pick up soon as middle class incomes in India steadily rise.

We performed best against the benchmark in emerging markets, where we avoided lagging sectors such as materials and energy and made good selections in telecommunication services. In particular, the Indian mobile company Idea Cellular achieved excellent growth. Stocks in continental Europe and the United Kingdom also boosted results. Although a number of our Japanese holdings stood out, our below-benchmark exposure there detracted.

We remain reasonably positive about global stocks for the next 12 to 18 months: Equities are cheap versus bonds, and the global economy is gradually healing from the financial crisis. Short-term challenges include currency volatility and the consequences of the likely tapering of the QE program in the United States. We are especially cognizant of the potential impact of higher interest rates in some emerging markets that have been key beneficiaries of loose monetary policy and are now witnessing pressure on their currencies, equities, and debt markets.

We also remain wary of the low-growth, high-yield stocks that have recently been in favor for their somewhat bond-like characteristics. As yield curves steepen, companies with good reinvestment opportunities and potential to grow organically should outperform.

Our long-term themes remain intact—favorable demographic trends, climate change, and a supercycle of trillions of dollars of infrastructure-based demand from emerging economies. We continue to pursue companies that are profiting from these global changes, irrespective of short-term market uncertainties.

As we maintain a balance between defensive growth sectors and more cyclical industries, our trading activity will, as ever, focus on individual firms that we feel are undervalued, strongly managed, and experiencing sustainable growth.

International equities finished generally flat in the first half of 2013. This followed a period of extreme risk aversion near the end of May on news that the U.S. Federal Reserve might begin tapering its quantitative easing program.

As the year began, a last-minute solution to the U.S. “fiscal cliff” problem helped prompt a wave of renewed investor confidence. This culminated in multiyear highs for many stock markets around the world in January. After a subsequent period of volatility, markets again rose to new highs in May. However, a downward trend set in later that month and accelerated in June, as fear and uncertainty over the Fed’s intentions became all-encompassing, leading to broad sell-offs. Encouraging U.S. economic data did not help, as it supported the case for tapering.

In the benchmark, the materials and energy sectors suffered, largely because of the uncertainty over China’s growth prospects, while health care, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples

were the top performers. Concerns over China also had a knock-on effect in many emerging markets, especially Brazil, which saw its stocks plummet as the country experienced widespread public unrest. Near the end of the half year, worries about China eased, central bankers in the United States and Europe sought to reassure investors about interest rates, and equities reversed some of their earlier losses.

In our part of the portfolio, European aerospace giant EADS was the biggest contributor, thanks to its excellent industry positioning, robust order book, and operational successes. The company has also benefited from a buyback of outstanding shares and a reorganization of its shareholder structure, with reduced governmental ownership cheering investors.

Meanwhile, in Japan, the government’s willingness to increase inflation has aided exporters, as the resultant weakening of the yen enhances their potential future profitability. Shares of carmaker Toyota, as well as Sysmex, a specialist in clinical diagnostic devices, performed very strongly.

Conversely, some holdings in the out-of-favor materials and energy sectors dragged on our returns. In Brazil in particular, shares of iron ore miner Vale were hurt by concerns over diminishing demand in China, while those of oil company Petrobras suffered amid the general malaise, both at the sector and country level. Germany-based Software AG’s stock declined after the company published mixed financial results.

The global security firm G4S further dragged on returns; it reported disappointing margin performance and then announced that its chief executive would step down.

As active stockpickers, we continue to selectively purchase attractively valued companies with compelling scarce assets, structural growth drivers, and the potential for sustainably high returns. These have recently included Fresenius Medical Care, a Germany-based international dialysis group, and the South Korean firm Samsung Electronics.

We sold out of other holdings—including Taiwanese contract PC-maker Compal Electronics and Australian-listed global recycler Sims Metal Management—when we felt there were more attractively valued companies with better growth prospects available.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard International Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard International Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. The portfolio invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of United States corporations.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio 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.

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 portfolio’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 and Forward Currency Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio 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 portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

The portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts or to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in foreign exchange rates. The primary risk associated with the portfolio’s use of these contracts is that a counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation to pay gains due to the portfolio under the contracts. The portfolio 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 counter-parties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio 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 portfolio under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the portfolio’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the portfolio if the portfolio is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the portfolio 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.

124


 

Vanguard International Portfolio

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 aggregate 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 gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values. The portfolio’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 3% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

6. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

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. 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. Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd., Schroder Investment Management North America Inc., and M&G Investment Management Limited each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fees of Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the MSCI Europe, Australasia, Far East Index for periods prior to April 1, 2011, and the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA thereafter. The benchmark will be fully phased in by March 2014. The basic fee of M&G Investment Management Limited is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA.

The Vanguard Group manages the cash reserves of the portfolio on an at-cost basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.15% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before an increase of $333,000 (0.04%) based on performance.

Vanguard International Portfolio

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $239,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.10% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Index and FTSE 100 Index futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had open forward currency contracts to receive and deliver currencies as follows. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open forward currency contracts is treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

F. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency gains of $4,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the portfolio’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. Passive foreign investment companies held at June 30, 2013, had unrealized appreciation of $98,000, as of December 31, 2012, the most recent mark-to-market date for tax purposes. This amount has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.

The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2012, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $134,132,000 to offset future net capital gains. Of this amount, $113,586,000 is subject to expiration on December 31, 2017. Capital losses of $20,546,000 realized beginning in fiscal 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, but must be used before any expiring loss carryforwards. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2013; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

127


 

Vanguard International Portfolio

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,662,719,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $210,295,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $359,614,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $149,319,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $316,282,000 of investment securities and sold $204,525,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended

  Shares Shares

Redeemed (6,379) (13,383)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 6,543 (1,170)

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 38% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

I. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard International Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
International Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,022.41 2.41

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.48%. 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.

Vanguard International Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund International Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory agreements with Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. (Baillie Gifford), M&G Investment Management Limited (M&G), and Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (Schroders Inc.), as well as the sub-advisory agreement with Schroder Investment North America Ltd. (Schroder Ltd.). The board determined that the retention of the portfolio’s advisors was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following:

Baillie Gifford. Baillie Gifford, a unit of Baillie Gifford & Co., founded in 1908, is among the largest independently owned investment management firms in the United Kingdom. Baillie Gifford employs a sound process to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality, non-U.S. growth stocks from developed and emerging markets. Stocks are selected using fundamental research conducted by Baillie Gifford’s analysts. Baillie Gifford has advised a portion of the portfolio since 2003.

M&G. M&G, founded in 1931, specializes in managing equity and fixed income portfolios for both institutional and retail clients worldwide. M&G employs a sound process to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality, non-U.S. growth stocks from developed and emerging markets. The advisor’s global equity team conducts intensive fundamental analysis on companies, including regular company visits. M&G has advised a portion of the portfolio since 2008.

Schroder. Schroder plc, the parent company of Schroders Inc. and Schroder Ltd., has existed for more than 200 years and has investment management experience dating back to 1926. Schroder employs a sound process, selecting attractive growth stocks from developed and emerging markets outside the United States. Stocks are selected using a bottom-up approach, supported by Schroder’s worldwide network of analysts, economists, and strategists. Schroder has advised the portfolio since its inception in 1994.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of the advisors in determining whether to approve the advisory fees, because the firms are independent of Vanguard, and the advisory fees are the result of arm’slength negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the advisory fee rates negotiated with each advisor without any need for asset-level breakpoints. The advisory fee rates are very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group.

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

Vanguard® Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

Mid-capitalization stocks rallied in the six months ended June 30, 2013, propelled by gains for banks and retailers. Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio returned 15.44%, closely tracking the performance of its benchmark index (15.56%) while outdistancing the average return of peer funds (14.95%). The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards for the period.

As we previously announced, the portfolio transitioned to a new benchmark index supplied by the University of Chicago’s Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP). This transition was completed by January 30.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

All sectors recorded gains, with retailers leading the way
For most of the half year, U.S. stocks were on the ascent amid signs that the housing recovery was progressing and the job market was perking up. But markets turned rocky after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said June 19 that the central bank might decide to begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying later this year. Still, U.S. stocks remained a safe haven for many investors anxious about unrest in Brazil and the Middle East, the recession in Europe, and signs of trouble in China’s economy.

Mid-cap stocks outperformed larger-company stocks, and value-style investments generally had the best results compared with growth stocks. All ten industry sectors posted positive returns in Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio, with nine recording double-digit returns. Consumer discretionary, financial, and health care stocks contributed the most to the portfolio’s advance.

Retailers’ stock returns were robust (19%) as U.S. consumers, who seemed more confident about the economy and employment than they have been in several years, spent more on entertainment, shopping, and eating out. Media companies, including cable and satellite operators, notched gains. Specialty retailers, including electronics and auto-related stores, also did well.

Financial and health care stocks turned in solid performances
Financials, the second-largest sector in the portfolio and traditionally viewed as value-oriented, returned 18% in a broad-based advance. Diversified financial services companies and commercial banks profited from better lending conditions.

Health care stocks posted among the highest returns (21%) as pharmaceutical and biotech companies continued to benefit from favorable rulings by the Food and Drug Administration and improved pipelines of new medicines.

The lone sluggish performer was materials. Mining stocks were a particular weak spot. These shares came under pressure as commodity prices dropped amid slowing demand from China.

Look past the inevitable bumps, and stay focused on the long term
The recent optimism in the U.S. stock market faded quickly in the last month of the fiscal half year. The swing in sentiment is a good reminder of how quickly market conditions can change and how futile it is to try to predict short-term trends.

At Vanguard, we encourage our clients to stay focused on their long-term plans rather than on the market’s unpredictable ups and downs. Maintaining a portfolio that includes a broadly diversified and steady combination of stocks, bonds, and cash investments consistent with your long-term goals and risk tolerance can help you stay the course amid the kind of sporadic short-term turbulence we’ve seen in recent years. The Mid-Cap Index Portfolio can play a crucial role in such a portfolio by providing broad and low-cost exposure to the mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity market.

Investment Focus


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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

On October 2, 2012, Vanguard announced a change in the portfolio’s benchmark index from the MSCI US Mid Cap 450 Index to the CRSP US Mid Cap Index. The benchmark change was effective on January 31, 2013. The portfolio’s investment objective has not changed.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 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.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The portfolio may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The portfolio

138


 

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

6. 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. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $120,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

139

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 973,555
Temporary Cash Investments 5,790 300
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (8)
Total 979,337 300
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P MidCap 400 Index September 2013 21 2,431 (22)
S&P 500 Index September 2013 1 400 (11)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $816,281,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $163,364,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $204,116,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $40,752,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $279,996,000 of investment securities and sold $250,503,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 5,882 7,519

Redeemed (4,340) (10,465)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,042 (872)

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 54% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Mid-Cap Index Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.55 1.25

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.25%. 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.

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Mid-Cap Index Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Moderate Allocation Portfolio

For the half year ended June 30, 2013, the Moderate Allocation Portfolio returned 4.69%. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark (4.88%) and slightly ahead of the average return of peer funds (4.47%).

As planned, we’ve transitioned 22 of our index funds to new benchmark indexes, including Vanguard Total International Stock Market Index Fund, one of the underlying funds of your portfolio. The new international benchmark is the FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index. We also increased diversification within the portfolio by adding an 8% allocation to Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund. The portfolio’s overall fixed income allocation and strategic asset allocation have not changed. These changes were completed by June 30, 2013.

As a “fund of funds,” the Moderate Allocation Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of its benchmark by investing in a combination of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund (VVIF) portfolios and Vanguard index funds. While the exact percentages may vary, the portfolio targets an asset allocation of approximately 60% stocks and 40% bonds through the following holdings: VVIF Total Bond Market Index Portfolio (32%), VVIF Equity Index Portfolio (34%), Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (18%), Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund (8%), and Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund (8%).

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

U.S. stocks far outpaced international stocks and U.S. bonds
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks were on the ascent amid signs that the housing recovery was progressing and the job market was perking up.

Nearly all industry sectors in all corners of the U.S. market posted positive returns, with most posting double-digit returns. Financial, health care, and consumer discretionary stocks were among the strongest contributors in the VVIF Equity Index Portfolio, which covers larger U.S. companies and returned 13.72%.

The Extended Market Index Fund, which encompasses U.S. mid- and small-capitalization stocks, gained 15.58%.

With slowing growth in China and fresh worries about the European debt crisis, international stocks lagged their U.S. counterparts by a wide margin. The Total International Stock Index Fund returned –0.49%, with Japan doing well among developed nations while European stocks barely rose. Emerging markets took a significant step back as investors, worried about disappointing data, shifted their investments to the United States and Japan.

U.S. bond prices fell as interest rates bounced up
Six-month returns from U.S. investment-grade bonds slid into negative territory for the first time in five years as interest rates rose, causing bond prices to fall. The VVIF Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned –2.54%.

Yields of U.S. Treasuries across most of the maturity spectrum ended the period higher, in part because of the signaling by Federal Reserve officials that further improvements in the economy might warrant an easing of their bond-buying program before the end of the year.

The divergent performance of stocks and bonds in the first half of 2013 highlights the virtues of a simple and disciplined investment strategy such as that followed by Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio: Invest in multiple asset classes, diversify within them, and regularly rebalance to stay close to the target asset allocation.

Portfolio Asset Allocation


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

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Portfolios that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another fund.

1 30-day SEC yield.

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio follows a balanced investment strategy by investing in selected Vanguard funds and portfolios to achieve its targeted allocation of assets to U.S. stocks, international stocks, U.S. bonds, and international bonds. Financial statements and other information about each underlying fund and portfolio are available on vanguard.com. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

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

1. Security Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2011–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the portfolio. The service agreement provides that the portfolio’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the portfolio. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the period ended June 30, 2013, were borne by the funds in which the portfolio invests. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard and the funds in which the portfolio invests.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At June 30, 2013, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. Short-term capital gain distributions received are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, and cannot be offset by capital losses.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $94,722,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,364,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $3,338,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,974,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $47,765,000 of investment securities and sold $15,224,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Redeemed (301) (247)

G. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A typical portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. The Moderate Allocation Portfolio has no direct expenses, but bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the acquired fund fees and expenses, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio 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 costs were calculated using the acquired fund fees and expenses for the Moderate Allocation Portfolio.

The accompanying table illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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. The portfolio’s expense figure does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Moderate Allocation Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.85 0.95

 

1 The calculations are based on the Moderate Allocation Portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses for the most recent six-month period. The Moderate Allocation Portfolio’s annualized expense figure for that period is 0.19%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted expense ratio for the underlying funds, 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.

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Moderate Allocation Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services since the portfolio’s inception, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the performance of the portfolio since its inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary page of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses were well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. The portfolio does not incur advisory expenses directly. However, the board noted that each of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests has advisory expenses well below the underlying fund’s peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that Vanguard’s at-cost arrangement with the portfolio and its underlying funds ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Money Market Portfolio

Money market yields remained at all-time lows for the half year ended June 30, 2013, because of Federal Reserve policies to stimulate the economy. The Fed has kept short-term interest rates pegged between 0% and 0.25% since 2008.

As a result, the Money Market Portfolio returned 0.06%—a tiny return, but still a bit better than the benchmark index result of 0.04% and the peer-group average of –0.01%.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

The portfolio maintained a net asset value of $1 per share during the period, as is expected but not guaranteed. On June 30, the portfolio’s 7-day SEC yield was 0.10%, down from 0.14% six months earlier.

In a challenging environment, an experienced team guided the way
As the economy has slowly recovered since the depths of the financial crisis more than four years ago, the Federal Reserve has kept borrowing costs low in its efforts to fuel expansion. Along with maintaining these rock-bottom short-term rates, the Fed has continued its massive bond-buying program to try to contain longer-term interest rates.

While the Fed stated in June that it expected to begin to reduce its bond-buying later this year if the economy continued its recovery, the clamp on short-term interest rates is likely to remain in place until 2015. Fed policymakers have said that they don’t anticipate increases in short-term interest rates until after the unemployment rate falls to 6.5% or lower.

Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group—the Money Market Portfolio’s experienced management team—and low costs offer benefits in today’s environment, where yields are still minuscule. While recording a return slightly better than that of its benchmark index and its peer-group average, the portfolio invested in diversified, high-quality, and highly liquid instruments. As of June 30, about 43% of the portfolio consisted of Treasury bills and other short-term U.S. obligations. Other high-quality securities, such as U.S. commercial paper and certificates of deposit, offered some diversification as well as an opportunity for slightly better returns.

Some geographical diversification is also part of the Fixed Income Group’s strategy. The portfolio, while sidestepping European financial institutions, invested in securities issued by Canadian and Australian banks.

Money market portfolios still play an important role
Since the financial crisis, investors haven’t been able to count on money market portfolios for return or income. While the results have been disappointing, money market portfolios can still play a significant role in a well-diversified portfolio. The Money Market Portfolio, with its low costs, high-quality securities, and liquidity, can be valuable as a source of safety and liquidity.

Credit Quality. For Vanguard money market portfolios, the Distribution by Credit Quality table includes tier ratings for consistency with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market portfolios. A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market portfolios and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations by the requisite nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. A Second Tier security is one that is eligible for money market portfolios and is not a First Tier security.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions. An investment in a money market portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio. The portfolio’s SEC 7-day annualized yield as of June 30, 2013, was 0.10%. This yield reflects the current earnings of the portfolio more closely than do the average annual returns. Note that the returns do not reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. The portfolio invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries.

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the portfolio under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Municipal Cash Management 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $126,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the portfolio’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the portfolio. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time. For the period ended June 30, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $527,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.10% of the portfolio’s average net assets).

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The portfolio’s investment in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund is valued based on Level 1 inputs. All of the portfolio’s other investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 66% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

E. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Money Market Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.50 0.30

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.06%. 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. If certain fees were not voluntarily waived by Vanguard during the period, the annualized expense ratio would have been 0.16%, and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $0.79 and $0.80, respectively.

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Money Market Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® REIT Index Portfolio

A sudden upswing in interest rates in the spring helped to halt the recent rally in real estate investment trusts, causing REITs to underperform U.S. stocks. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the REIT Index Portfolio returned 6.30%, in line with its benchmark (6.36%) and ahead of the average return of peer funds (4.64%), but a bit less than half the return of the overall U.S. stock market.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

REITs were slowed by a change in the interest rate picture
After outperforming the overall U.S. stock market from 2009 through 2012, REITs lagged the market for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Although it returned about 8% in the first quarter of the year, the REIT Index Portfolio lost ground in the second and finished the period with a modest-but-still-respectable return of 6.30%. Meanwhile, the broad U.S. stock market returned about 14% for the half year.

The negative reaction of REIT investors in the second quarter, when the Federal Reserve indicated it was thinking about winding down its bond-buying program, echoed the bond market’s reaction. Bond investors have enjoyed a run of healthy returns in the current low-interest rate environment, which helped to boost bond prices. REITs have also risen during this period, because their dividend stream—generally more generous than that provided by other stocks—was highly valued in a time of investment income drought.

And both bonds and REITs took a tumble after the Fed’s mid-June statement: Bond prices fell as interest rates rose, and REITs declined on fears that higher rates might slow down real estate activity, which is highly reliant on loan markets.

Some corners of the real estate market did better than others. Storage facilities helped the largest segment of the REIT market, specialized REITs, return 10%. (Because of their short-term leases, storage facilities can raise rental income more easily.)

Diversified REITs, a much smaller segment of the REIT market that includes different real estate businesses, also outperformed, returning nearly 10%.

Residential REITs (4%) represented a mixed bag. Manufactured housing rode increased demand, and, like storage facilities, apartment REITs were seen as better able to raise income from their shorter-term leases. However, student housing detracted from the sector’s results.

Retail REITs, which accounted for more than one-quarter of the index, also posted a return of 4% for the six months, while office REITs returned 5% and industrial REITs 6%.

In pursuing investment goals, your long-term asset mix is key
Sudden turns in the markets, such as the recent fall in bond prices, can tempt investors to deviate from their long-term plan. Although interest rates remain low, no one can know what their next move will be or how financial markets will react.

While the REIT market stepped a bit backward in the second quarter when rates jumped, it remains to be seen where the sector will go from here. Rising rates are often a reaction to a strengthening economy, and REITs could benefit if that’s the case here.

It’s precisely because short-term market movements are unpredictable that trying to time the markets often fails, as Vanguard and other researchers have found. We remain convinced that sticking with a stable, well-diversified asset allocation that goes well beyond REITs and includes other stocks, bonds, and money market instruments is a sounder approach than making impulsive changes to try to avoid potential losses or capitalize on perceived opportunities.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a portfolio). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a portfolio, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

4. Other: Distributions received from REITs are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Each REIT reports annually the tax character of its distributions. Dividend income, capital gain distributions received, and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflect the amounts of taxable income, capital gain, and return of capital reported by the REITs, and management’s estimates of such amounts for REIT distributions for

which actual information has not been reported. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $89,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At June 30, 2013, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $698,101,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,099,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $90,517,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $80,418,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $90,196,000 of investment securities and sold $54,469,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 6,615 9,277
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 2,467 2,719
Redeemed (4,805) (6,179)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,277 5,817

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 63% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

G. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

  Account Value Account Value Paid During
REIT Index Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.46 1.35

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.27%. 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.

Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund REIT Index Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

The performance of bonds over the six months ended June 30, 2013, is best assessed by dividing the period in two. For the first four months, interest rates at various points on the yield curve remained at historically low levels. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note’s yield, a benchmark for other interest rates, rarely rose above 2.0%, and then by just a few basis points. The 2-year and 5-year notes, whose maturities match many of the holdings of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio, also hovered near all-time lows.

In May, the Federal Reserve signaled it might reduce its bond-buying program, with the economy’s cooperation, and in June the Fed mapped out a bit more clearly what its timetable could be. In both cases, investors reacted by selling bonds of different types and maturities, driving down prices and pushing up yields. Short-term bonds aren’t as vulnerable to interest rate changes as longer-maturity bonds, but even they suffered during June’s rout.

The Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio returned –0.53% for the six months ended June 30, trailing its benchmark index’s return of –0.45% but surpassing the –0.66% average return of its peers.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.30% on June 30, up from 1.14% six months ago.

Higher-quality assets helped the portfolio
The Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio finished near its comparative standards over the period as its advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, managed its investments with a conservative eye and didn’t pursue overly aggressive strategies.

Higher-credit-quality issues outperformed lower-quality issues during the period, a trend that boosted the portfolio’s performance. At the same time, the portfolio was hurt a bit by its liquidity buffer; it devotes a portion of its assets to short-term Treasury securities, but for this period, these holdings didn’t keep up with the portfolio’s investment-grade bonds of comparable maturities.

Bond fund investors can benefit from a long view
The significant rise in yields, which economists and financial analysts had been forecasting for a few years, arrived in May and June. While the accompanying price drops can be discouraging, especially for short-term-bond investors who aren’t accustomed to such volatility, the news isn’t all bad. In the long run, there’s a benefit to rising yields.

Over time, interest payments contribute more to a bond fund’s return than price changes. So, when the share price of a bond fund drops––as is the case in the current environment—the reinvested interest payments will purchase more shares at a higher yield.

Of course, it’s wise for investors not to let their emotions rule any decision and to recognize why bonds are a constructive part of a long-term plan––they can provide income as well as diversification that helps to cushion stock market volatility.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. Certain of the portfolio’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. mutual funds. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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. 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The portfolio uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the portfolio loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the portfolio loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio trades futures and options 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average value of options written and options purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values. The portfolio had no open options on futures contracts at June 30, 2013.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

3. Swap Contracts: The portfolio may invest in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the portfolio or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The portfolio 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 portfolio 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 portfolio may enter into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the portfolio’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 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 portfolio 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 portfolio (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the portfolio) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the portfolio and, in a physically settled swap, the portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio 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 portfolio under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the portfolio’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the portfolio if the portfolio is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the portfolio 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 portfolio may also enter into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps, when regulations require the swaps to be centrally cleared or when centrally cleared swaps are attractively priced, to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps. The same primary market risks associated with equivalent over-the-counter swaps apply with respect to centrally cleared swaps, but counterparty risk is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio trades with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the portfolio’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts. The average total amount of interest rate swaps represented 5% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

6. Other: Dividend income is recorded in 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $132,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

At June 30, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $1,641,000 in connection with open swap contracts.

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the portfolio’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the portfolio’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $65,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,048,879,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $776,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $10,553,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $11,329,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $245,934,000 of investment securities and sold $228,770,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $349,061,000 and $340,609,000, respectively.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.80 1.00

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.20%. 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.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Small Company Growth Portfolio

In the first half of 2013, value stocks generally outperformed their growth-oriented counterparts across the broad U.S. stock market. But there were exceptions to the trend. For example, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, which includes small- and mid-capitalization stocks, bested its value counterpart by almost 1 percentage point. In this favorable climate, the 17.24% return of Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio outpaced its comparative standards.

Please note that the returns for Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those of Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

A stock-by-stock approach led to a focus on three sectors
The portfolio’s advisors scour the smaller corners of the U.S. stock market to identify companies with superior earnings growth potential. They have found many opportunities in the information technology and health care sectors, often the laboratories for innovation. The consumer discretionary arena—including specialty retailers, restaurants, and leisure-time activity companies—has also been fertile.

Together, these three sectors averaged about 70% of the portfolio’s assets during the half year and contributed an even greater share of its return. Indeed, all sectors but one posted double-digit gains; energy holdings slipped.

In a portfolio built from relatively small stakes in nearly 400 companies, it’s not often that one firm can make an outsized contribution. That said, a dozen exceptional stocks—including some in health care and IT—notched six-month returns of nearly 100% or more, collectively adding more than 3 percentage points to the portfolio’s return.

The advisors’ overweighting of health care and technology holdings was rewarded with sector returns higher than those in the index. The relatively small materials sector also provided a boost, far exceeding its 2% return in the benchmark.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows.

Remember to rebalance even as stock markets climb
With the U.S. stock market reaching new highs (by some measures) this year, it’s understandable that many investors have been reluctant to rebalance—to bring their asset allocation back to its target. But discipline is just as important in good times as it is in bad.

Vanguard has long counseled investors to “stay the course.” That doesn’t mean taking no action. Instead, you should periodically consider selling assets that have grown to represent an outsize share of your personal portfolio and investing the proceeds in those whose performance has lagged. For example, you should consider rebalancing if you established a 60%/40% stock/bond portfolio and you find that your target allocation is now off by 5 percentage points or more. (For more on this topic, see Best Practices for Portfolio Rebalancing, available at vanguard.com/research.)

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

The Small Company Growth Portfolio returned 17.24% for the six months through June 2013, outpacing both the 15.82% return of its benchmark index and the 16.59% average return of peers. The portfolio is managed by two independent advisors, a strategy that enhances diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the amount and percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the first half of 2013 and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. (Please note that the Granahan discussion refers to industry sectors as defined by Russell classifications, rather than by the Global Industry Classification Standard used elsewhere in this report.) These comments were prepared on July 10, 2013.

The first half of 2013 has been a very good time for stocks, particularly small-capitalization stocks. Since the lows of October 2012, the market has shrugged off the fiscal cliff, sequestration, the Cyprus collapse, dispiriting GDP growth, and the Federal Reserve’s talk about tapering quantitative easing.

It is curious that we are reaching new highs in the market when earnings growth has slowed, although stabilized, and second-quarter reports are projected to show a slight drop. Small-cap median earnings growth has not been this low since the fourth quarter of 2009. Also not seen since 2009 is the recent slip of the ISM Manufacturing Index below 50, indicating contraction. Another potential concern is the expectation that the Fed will begin to retreat from its accommodative policy; this has already led to a rise in interest rates and put recent pressure on stocks.

In our part of the portfolio, valuations remain reasonable for holdings we consider to be “core growth” (which we define as stocks of established companies with a record of earnings) or “special situation” (companies with growth potential overlooked by the market). Many of these stocks, valued on earnings, are perhaps reflecting the stresses in the economy. Valuations of our stocks in the “pioneer” category (companies with unique technology or innovations) are more stretched, which is indicative of the open-ended potential of such early-stage businesses.

Strong stock selection in health care and information technology drove our success. We are overweighted in both sectors relative to the index. Our three best performers were health care companies that reported successes with new drugs: Santarus, Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, and Alkermes. In the technology sector, iRobot (domestic robots), SPS Commerce (supply chain software), and Infoblox (IP address management automation) were among

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

our top ten for the half year. These stocks are all being rewarded for strong top-line growth in a low-growth world.

We are significantly underweighted in materials, which helped relative performance as falling commodity prices proved to be a drag for the index sector. Two of our materials stocks provided a further boost through strong returns: OM Group (where new management is refocusing the company) and Schweitzer-Mauduit International (where sales of low-ignition cigarette paper are growing well and margins are improving).

In the consumer discretionary sector, especially in special-situation names, stock selections Vera Bradley (handbags and accessories), Crocs (footwear), and TiVo (set-top boxes) detracted. Vera Bradley’s poor inventory management has hurt the stock price over the last six months, most notably after the company’s fourth-quarter earnings release. We have reduced our position; although the business’s fundamentals offer significant upside potential, our confidence in management’s ability to execute is being tested.

Crocs’ estimates have been affected by near-term weather and macroeconomic trends in Japan. We remain confident in the company’s longer-term growth initiatives, which include global expansion and product diversification. TiVo’s stock suffered on news of a settlement with Motorola and Cisco that was below what many had forecast. Although we have reduced our position, we continue to own the stock as TiVo’s organic growth remains strong and the company is expected to begin generating positive cash flow.

Finally, although our underweighting in energy helped relative results, several specific holdings hurt us, including three cyclical stocks that we bought too early: Key Energy (oil services), Walter Energy (coal production), and James River Coal.

In the first six months of 2013, U.S. equities experienced two very different quarters. The broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, was up 11.07% in the first quarter. During this period, corporate earnings surpassed their October 2007 peak, marking an 8% increase over that time and a 125% increase since the market bottom in March 2009. (Earnings here are measured by the trailing 12-month earnings per share of the S&P 500 Index.)

The strong equity performance began to cool off in mid-May, ending with a gain of just 2.69% for the second quarter. This reversal came on the heels of the Federal Reserve’s signal that it might start to wind down its quantitative easing policy if improvement continued in some economic indicators, such as employment and housing. Adding to concerns were disappointing data from China and Japan and continued woes in most European economies.

Within the small company growth universe, all ten sector groups provided gains for the half year, with consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and health care stocks in the lead. Telecommunications and materials offered the smallest returns.

The six-month results for our stock selection models, which we use to rank companies against their industry peers, were mixed. Our growth and valuation models were very successful in identifying the leaders and raised overall performance, but our earnings quality, sentiment, and management decisions indicators detracted.

Our individual company selection boosted performance in seven sectors and disappointed in three. Information technology, consumer staples, and materials stocks added the most to our relative returns. In IT, overweight positions in SunEdison and SunPower were the top performers. In consumer staples, Pilgrim’s Pride and Rite Aid led; Westlake Chemical and Axiall did the same in materials. Also contributing in materials was our lack of exposure to various mining companies that declined steeply, such as Royal Gold and Allied Nevada Gold.

On the other hand, stock selection in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from our relative performance. Disappointing results came from Vaalco Energy, Energy XXI, and Rentech, as well as from the consumer stocks American Eagle Outfitters and Chico’s FAS. In addition, we were underweighted in some top-performing companies, including Netflix, and had no holdings in another, Tesla Motors.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

1 The portfolio total returns reported in the Fiscal-Year Total Returns table for 2013 and in the Average Annual Total Returns table for the periods shown are based on the ending share price as of June 28, 2013—the month’s last business day—rather than as of June 30, 2013—the financial statement date. The total returns as of June 30, 2013, were adjusted because of a significant change in the value of one of the portfolio’s securities (see the Financial Highlights table and Note D in the Notes to Financial Statements). In the Fiscal-Year Total Returns table, 2013 reflects six-month performance data.

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 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.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio 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 portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

6. 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. 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. Granahan Investment Management, Inc., provides investment advisory services to a portion of the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fee of Granahan Investment Management, Inc., is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

The Vanguard Group provides investment advisory services to a portion of the portfolio on an at-cost basis; the portfolio paid Vanguard advisory fees of $128,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.13% of the portfolio’s average net assets, with no adjustment required based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $132,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,007,639 10,313
Temporary Cash Investments 78,608 2,898
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (73)
Total 1,086,174 13,211
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

$10,313,000 of a security that is valued in this report based on Level 2 inputs is normally valued based on Level 1 inputs. This security experienced a significant change in value between the close of business on June 28, 2013, and the close of the reporting period on June 30, 2013, because of an acquisition proposal from another company.

E. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

F. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $938,809,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $160,649,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $216,621,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $55,972,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $339,539,000 of investment securities and sold $353,028,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 51% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

I. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

The board of trustees has adopted a new advisory fee schedule for one of the portfolio’s advisors, Granahan Investment Management, Inc., effective August 1, 2013. The new advisory fee schedule is expected to increase the portfolio’s expense ratio by approximately 0.04% annually (0.02% for fiscal 2013).

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

1 The return used in this table is based on the ending share price as of June 28, 2013—the month’s last business day—rather than as of June 30, 2013—the financial statement date. The total return as of June 30, 2013, was adjusted because of a significant change in the value of one of the portfolio’s securities (see the Financial Highlights table and Note D in the Notes to Financial Statements).
2 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.36%. 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.

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Small Company Growth Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangements with Granahan Investment Management, Inc. (Granahan), and The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Equity Investment Group. The board determined that the retention of the advisors was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders. In addition, the board recently approved an amended investment advisory agreement with Granahan, effective August 1, 2013. Please see the Notice to Shareholders for information about the board’s approval of Granahan’s amended agreement.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the portfolio’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following: Granahan. Founded in 1985, Granahan uses fundamental research to select a portfolio of stocks with sustainable growth characteristics. The advisor achieves portfolio diversification through dedicated allocations to three life cycle-based categories of growth companies: core growth, companies with strong market position, based on proprietary products or services; pioneers, companies with unique technology or innovations; and special situations, companies with growth potential overlooked by the market. Granahan has advised the portfolio since its inception in 1996.

Vanguard. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth. Vanguard has managed a portion of the portfolio since 2008.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangements should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below the peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

The board did not consider profitability of Granahan in determining whether to approve the advisory fee, because Granahan is independent of Vanguard, and the advisory fee is the result of arm’s-length negotiations. The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard, because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for shareholders.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio realizes economies of scale that are built into the negotiated advisory fee rate with Granahan without any need for asset-level breakpoints. Granahan’s advisory fee rate is very low relative to the average rate paid by funds in the portfolio’s peer group. The board also concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as the portfolio’s assets managed by Vanguard increase.

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

Vanguard® Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

Investment-grade bonds slid into negative territory and stocks surged during the half year ended June 30, 2013, amid positive domestic economic data and rising interest rates. While bond returns initially sputtered along, they turned negative in May and retreated further in June after comments from Federal Reserve officials that further improvements in the economy might warrant an easing of the Fed’s bond-buying program before the end of the year.

Because of the rapid rise in interest rates, the income generated by investment-grade bonds during the period couldn’t offset price declines. The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned –2.54%. That performance was in line with the return of the portfolio’s benchmark, which incurs no expenses, and the average return of its peer group.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

With bond prices falling on weak demand, the yield of the portfolio rose. (Bond prices move inversely to yields.) The portfolio’s

30-day SEC yield stood at 1.75% on June 30, up from 1.50% six months earlier.

Bond market reacts to the prospect of less support from the Fed
The Federal Reserve continued to provide unprecedented stimulus to the economy during the six-month period. The federal funds target rate—the rate banks charge one another for overnight loans—remained anchored at 0.00% to 0.25% to keep short-term interest rates low. And the Fed’s bond-buying programs soaked up mortgage bonds and longer-dated Treasuries at a rate of $85 billion per month to support the housing market and hold down borrowing costs.

Early in the period, bonds held up relatively well as investors sought perceived safety amid concerns about the impact of the federal government’s automatic spending cuts, the pace of growth in China, and flare-ups in the European debt crisis. Yields did rise sharply toward the end of the six months, however, as Fed officials said further improvements in the labor and housing markets could lead to a reduction in the pace of its bond-buying before the end of 2013.

Yields of Treasuries across most of the maturity spectrum ended the period higher. The 10-year Treasury yield, for example, rose 72 basis points to 2.47%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) While still low by historical standards, that yield was the highest for the 10-year note since 2011. Corporate bonds saw their yields rise as well, with the average spread (or difference in yield) between corporates and Treasuries widening by 11 basis points to 152.

With rising yields pushing bond prices down, Treasuries returned –2.11% for the period while mortgage-backed securities fared a little better, returning –1.77%. Corporate bonds returned –3.41% overall, although bonds of financial companies held up better than industrials or utilities.

In pursuing investment goals, your long-term asset mix is key
Volatility and increased uncertainty can tempt investors to deviate from their investment plan. In the mutual fund industry, for example, the recent rise in bond yields has led to net redemptions from bond funds as investors try to sidestep losses that might arise from a sustained climb in interest rates.

Keep in mind, however, that although interest rates remain low, nobody is certain what their next move will be—much less how financial markets will react to the change. In fact, it’s precisely because short-term market movements are unpredictable that trying to time the markets often fails, as Vanguard and other researchers have found.

We continue to believe that sticking to a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments over the long haul—rather than making impulsive changes to try to avoid potential losses or capitalize on perceived opportunities—gives you the best chance of meeting your investment goals.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays Capital using ratings generally derived from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating is shown.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. Certain of the portfolio’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. mutual funds. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the portfolio’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.

Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

2. 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 portfolio may enter into TBA sells to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to dispose of mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. For TBA purchases, the portfolio maintains cash or short-term investments until settlement date in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.

3. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The portfolio enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the portfolio 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 portfolio 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 portfolio has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the portfolio 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 portfolio 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 portfolio accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the portfolio’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. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $305,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.12% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 1,618,133
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 68,135
Corporate Bonds 558,617
Sovereign Bonds 124,599
Taxable Municipal Bonds 24,322
Temporary Cash Investments 106,113
Total 106,113 2,393,806

 

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,438,930,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $60,989,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $89,567,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $28,578,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $89,783,000 of investment securities and sold $88,573,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $1,474,624,000 and $1,633,603,000, respectively.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2013 December 31, 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 13,848 31,466

Redeemed (29,060) (25,211)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding (7,418) 13,865

 

At June 30, 2013, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 54% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

G. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 table below illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.19%. 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.

Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Total Bond Market Index Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio returned 14.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as the U.S. stock market rose sharply for the first five months before stepping backward slightly in June. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (14.14%) and well ahead of the average return of peer funds (10.93%).

As a “fund of funds,” the Total Stock Market Index Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of its target benchmark by investing about 80% of its assets in the Equity Index Portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund and about 20% in Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund. Because of the Equity Index Portfolio’s heavy weighting, you may wish to review that portfolio’s financial statements, which are included in this report.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

All sectors recorded gains, with financials leading the way
For most of the half year, U.S. stocks were on the ascent amid signs that the housing recovery was progressing and the job market was perking up. The broad U.S. market achieved a succession of new highs in March, April, and May.

But markets turned rocky after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said June 19 that the central bank might decide to begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying later this year. Still, U.S. stocks remained a safe haven for many investors anxious about unrest in Brazil and the Middle East, the recession in Europe, and signs of trouble in China’s economy.

All industry sectors posted positive returns in Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio, with most recording double-digit returns. Financial, health care, and consumer discretionary stocks were among the strongest contributors.

The Equity Index Portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, which covers larger U.S. companies, returned 13.72%.

Financials provided more than a fifth of the overall gain. Diversified financial services companies and commercial banks profited from better lending conditions and the recovering housing market. Asset managers also thrived.

Results were solid for health care and consumer discretionary stocks
Health care was the next-largest contributor to return in the Equity Index Portfolio. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies were among the best performers as the industry continued to benefit from favorable rulings by the Food and Drug Administration and improved pipelines of new medicines. Health care providers and services also did well.

The consumer discretionary sector also performed strongly. U.S. consumers were more confident about the economy and employment than they have been in several years. They spent more on entertainment, shopping, and eating out. Media companies notched gains. Specialty retailers, hotels, and restaurants also did well.

The Equity Index Portfolio did not benefit as much from its large weighting (about 18% of assets, on average) in information technology. The sector was hurt most by its holdings in the tablet and smartphone business; competition is fierce, and key players have fallen short of earnings expectations and failed to deliver new products as expected.

Tech stocks did a bit better in the Extended Market Index Fund, which encompasses U.S. mid- and small-capitalization stocks. The Extended Market Index Fund gained 15.58% as consumer discretionary, health care, and consumer staples stocks returned 20% or higher. IT stocks rose a more modest 11%.

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

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Portfolios that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another fund.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

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

Performance Summary (unaudited)

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio seeks to match the return of its target index by investing in selected Vanguard funds and portfolios. Financial statements and other information about each underlying fund and portfolio are available on vanguard.com. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

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

1. Security Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the portfolio. The service agreement provides that the portfolio’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the portfolio. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the period ended June 30, 2013, were borne by the funds in which the portfolio invests. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard and the funds in which the portfolio invests.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At June 30, 2013, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $975,293,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $67,124,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $98,395,000 of investment securities and sold $50,119,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A typical portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. The Total Stock Market Index Portfolio has no direct expenses, but bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the acquired fund fees and expenses, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio 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 costs were calculated using the acquired fund fees and expenses for the Total Stock Market Index Portfolio.

The accompanying table illustrates your portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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. The portfolio’s expense figure does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

1 The calculations are based on the Total Stock Market Index Portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses for the most recent six-month period. The Total Stock Market Index Portfolio’s annualized expense figure for that period is 0.18%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted expense ratio for the underlying funds, 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.

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Total Stock Market Index Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses were well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. The portfolio does not incur advisory expenses directly. However, the board noted that each of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests has advisory expenses well below the underlying fund’s peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that Vanguard’s at-cost arrangement with the portfolio and its underlying funds ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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

Vanguard® Equity Index Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio returned 13.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as the U.S. stock market rose sharply for the first five months before stepping backward slightly in June. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (13.82%) and about even with the average return of peer funds (13.70%).

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards for the half year.

Please note that the portfolio returns in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund are different from those in the Vanguard Variable Annuity (and other plans that invest in the fund), which take into account insurance-related expenses.

All ten sectors recorded gains, with financials leading the way
For most of the period, U.S. stocks were on the ascent amid signs that the housing recovery was progressing and the job market was perking up. The S&P 500 Index, whose performance Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio seeks to track, achieved a succession of new highs in March, April, and May amid solid corporate earnings and encouraging U.S. economic data.

But markets turned rocky after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said June 19 that the central bank might decide to begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying later this year. Still, U.S. stocks remained a safe haven for many investors anxious about unrest in Brazil and the Middle East, the recession in Europe, and signs of trouble in China’s economy.

All ten industry sectors posted positive returns in the Equity Index Portfolio, with six of them recording double-digit returns. Financial, health care, and consumer discretionary stocks contributed the most.

Financials, the second-largest sector, contributed more than a fifth of the portfolio’s overall return. Diversified financial services companies and commercial banks profited from better lending conditions and the recovering housing market. Asset managers also thrived.

Results were solid for health care and consumer discretionary stocks
Health care was the next-largest contributor to return. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies were among the best performers as the industry continued to benefit from favorable rulings by the Food and Drug Administration and improved pipelines of new medicines.

The consumer discretionary sector also performed strongly. U.S. consumers were more confident about the economy and employment than they have been in several years. They spent more on entertainment, shopping, and eating out. Media companies notched gains, as did specialty retailers, hotels, and restaurants.

The portfolio did not benefit as much from its large weighting (about 18% of assets, on average) in information technology. Some personal computer makers did better by cutting costs. But the sector was hurt most by its holdings in the tablet and smartphone business; competition in it is fierce, and several key players fell short of earnings expectations as new products failed to deliver.

Look past the inevitable bumps, and stay focused on the long term
The recent optimism in the U.S. stock market faded quickly in the last month of the fiscal half year. The swing in sentiment is a good reminder of how quickly market conditions can change and how futile it is to try to predict short-term trends.

At Vanguard, we encourage our clients to stay focused on their long-term plans rather than on the market’s unpredictable ups and downs. Maintaining a portfolio that includes a broadly diversified and steady combination of stocks, bonds, and cash investments consistent with your long-term goals and risk tolerance can help you stay the course amid sporadic short-term turbulence. The Equity Index Portfolio can play a crucial role in such a portfolio by providing broad and low-cost exposure to the large-capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

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

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the portfolio and the index.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a portfolio’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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

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 portfolio. (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 portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The portfolio 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 portfolio’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 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.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The portfolio may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The portfolio may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks

278


 

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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). Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio 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 portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2009–2012), and for the period ended June 30, 2013, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans 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 on the next business day. The portfolio further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 portfolio 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 portfolio. The portfolio invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability 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.

6. 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. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio under methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $342,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

279


 

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 2,766,766
Temporary Cash Investments 12,474 400
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (37)
Total 2,779,203 400
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
S&P 500 Index September 2013 11 4,398 (41)
E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2013 45 3,598 (73)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,392,356,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $387,284,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $664,652,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $277,368,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the portfolio purchased $121,509,000 of investment securities and sold $72,984,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 5,318 3,695

 

At June 30, 2013, two shareholders (an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, and Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio), were each the record or beneficial owner of 30% or more of the portfolio’s net assets, with a combined ownership of 64%. If one of these shareholders were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, 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 portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’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 portfolio 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 portfolio’s costs in two ways:

Based on actual portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio. 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 portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio 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 portfolio’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 portfolio’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 portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

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 portfolio’s expenses in the Financial Statements section. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the prospectus.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Equity Index Portfolio 12/31/2012 6/30/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.00 0.80

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.16%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Equity Index Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the portfolio. The board determined that continuing the portfolio’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

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

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the portfolio, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the portfolio’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary page for this portfolio.

Cost
The board concluded that the portfolio’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the portfolio’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the portfolio’s expenses appears on the About Your Portfolio’s Expenses page as well as in the Financial Statements pages.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the portfolio’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the portfolio will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as portfolio assets increase.

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