Market Perspective

Dear Planholder,

Stock and bond markets moved in opposite directions in 2013. For the first time in 15 years, returns were positive for stocks and negative for bonds, as the U.S. stock market advanced for the fifth straight calendar year. International stocks and bonds fell short of their U.S. counterparts, although stocks abroad still managed double-digit results. The disparate performance of the two asset classes underscores the importance of balance and diversification.

This report starts with a brief overview of the financial markets during the past year. In the pages that follow, you’ll find

a review of the performance of your portfolio. Each portfolio in Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund can play a role in an investment program that includes a combination of stock, bond, and money market funds suitable for your own long-term goals and risk tolerance.

In case you missed our November announcement, Robert F. Auwaerter, principal and head of Vanguard Fixed Income Group, intends to retire in March 2014. Bob, who joined Vanguard in 1981, was one of the three original members of the Fixed Income Group. Over the years, he earned a reputation at Vanguard and within the industry as an extremely dedicated, honest, and insightful decision-maker and leader. We’re fortunate that Gregory Davis will become the head of the Fixed Income Group, and I couldn’t be more confident in his ability to lead its deep and talented team.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.


F. William McNabb III

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Earnings, optimism, and stimulus all helped boost U.S. stocks

For the 12 months ended December 31, U.S. stocks surged about 34% (as measured by the Russell 3000 Index), their best calendar-year finish since 1995. Corporations posted solid earnings and investors placed a higher premium on those earnings. The Federal Reserve’s stimulative bond-buying program supported stock markets, which slumped a bit in the summer when questions arose about the timing of the program’s unwinding. In December, the Fed ended the uncertainty by announcing that it would begin paring its purchases in January 2014. International stocks, in aggregate, returned about 15%.

For 2014, Vanguard Chief Economist Joe Davis and his team are guarded in their outlook for global stock returns, and their forecast for the bond market remains muted. While Joe readily acknowledges that such forecasts are accompanied by uncertainty, he wrote, “We believe a balanced and diversified, low-cost portfolio can remain a high-value proposition in the decade ahead.” (You can read more about our expectations for bond and stock returns in Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook, available at vanguard.com/research.)

Bond returns faltered in 2013 as the Fed’s phaseout loomed

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –2.02%—its first negative calendar-year result since 1999 and its worst calendar-year performance since 1994—as the Fed’s plans for phasing out its bond-buying rattled investors.

Municipal bonds returned –2.55%. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note closed at 2.97%, up from 1.76% at the close of December 2012. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.)

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned –3.08%. Money market fund and savings account returns remained tiny as the Federal Reserve held short-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%.

Vanguard® Balanced Portfolio

As stock prices surged and bond prices slipped, Vanguard Balanced Portfolio returned 19.88% in 2013, ahead of the 19.33% return of its benchmark index and the 19.19% average return of its peers. At year-end, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield stood at 2.18%, a bit below its level of a year 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.

Diverging stock and bond results highlight the wisdom of balance

Stocks, constituting about two-thirds of the portfolio’s assets, powered its returns as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index notched multiple record closing highs into late December. The portfolio’s stocks edged past the 32.39% return of its S&P 500 Index equity benchmark, boosted by the advisor’s choices among two of its largest sectors—financials and industrials.

In contrast, the year was challenging for bonds; the seesawing broad U.S. bond market finished in negative territory for the first time since 1999. The portfolio’s fixed income holdings modestly outperformed the –1.99% return of its bond benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index, thanks in part to favorable corporate bond selections.

Overall, the Balanced Portfolio’s results highlight the benefits of balance and diversification, as stocks and bonds often—but not always—move in opposite directions.

Over a volatile decade, results for the portfolio were superior

For the decade, the Balanced Portfolio posted an average annual return of 8.15%, higher than that of its benchmark index (6.73%) and its peer-group average (5.87%). Both the equity and fixed income components outpaced their benchmarks, which is especially impressive given the extreme market volatility of the past ten years—a period that included the worst global recession since the Great Depression. This admirable track record is a credit to the experience and talent of the portfolio’s advisor, Wellington Management Company.

The power of compounding can put time on your side

You can’t control many aspects of investing success, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you keep your investments, which allows you to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Money makes money.”

Suppose you put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year (this is hypothetical; actual returns would most likely be different and a lot less predictable). If you keep reinvesting the earnings, in ten years your investment will grow to about $18,000. But if you can invest that $10,000 for 30 years, your investment will grow to more than $57,000.

Compounding can make a real difference in your account balance over time, particularly when combined with Vanguard’s low expense ratios—which allow you to keep more of the return on your investment.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The Balanced Portfolio returned 19.88% for the year ended December 31, 2013, ahead of the 19.33% return of its blended benchmark (a mix of 65% large-capitalization stocks and 35% high-quality corporate bonds) and the average return of peer funds. Both the stock and bond portions of the portfolio surpassed their respective benchmarks—the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index.

The investment environment

Stocks rose sharply during the year: The S&P 500 Index returned 32.39%. Favorable global liquidity dynamics and accommodative monetary policy from central banks boosted shares in the United States and many other developed markets.

The bond market retreated, as low yields did not generate enough income to offset the declines in most fixed income security prices. The portfolio’s bond benchmark returned –1.99%, a result of rising interest rates.

Our successes

The equity portion of the portfolio slightly outpaced the S&P 500 Index. Stock selection was strongest within financials and also positive in consumer staples and industrials. The portfolio benefited from greater-than-market exposure to health care, one of the best-performing sectors. An underweight allocation to information technology, which lagged during the period, also boosted relative returns.

Positions in shares of Prudential Financial, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo were among the best individual performers.

A less-than-market-weight allocation to Apple was the top relative contributor. Other standouts included Cardinal Health, AT&T, and FedEx.

Wells Fargo shares rose on better-than-expected earnings and the market’s positive outlook for bank results at a time of rising interest rates. In our view, the shares trade at an attractive normalized earnings multiple and should benefit from an improving economy, market share gains, and cost savings. Wells Fargo was the largest absolute contributor and the portfolio’s largest equity position at the close of the period.

We believe that Prudential Financial has an attractive business mix in both its individual life-insurance segment and its asset management business, which benefited from strong inflows. The stock rallied on strong and improved quality of earnings, driven by rising stock markets and higher long-term interest rates. We continue to like Prudential; increasing the dividend appears to be a management priority, one that we expect to be underpinned by growing earnings and an increasing payout ratio.

The stock of global pharmaceutical distributor Cardinal Health rebounded after it lost its Walgreens business to AmerisourceBergen in mid-March. Investors bid up shares after the firm posted a 25% year-over-year quarterly profit jump and raised its earnings forecast for 2014. Renewal of its CVS Caremark distribution contract reduced investors’ concerns that increasing industry competition would lead to pricing pressure. We expect Cardinal to gain longer-term from pharmaceutical demand growth driven by expanded insurance coverage stemming from the Affordable Care Act. Late in the year, Cardinal and CVS announced a joint venture that will become the largest buyer of generic drugs. We expect the deal to benefit shareholders of both firms.

The portfolio’s fixed income portion also outperformed its benchmark. Its shorter duration bias helped relative returns as interest rates rose. Security selection was particularly strong in technology and in telecommunications, where we participated in the $49 billion record bond issuance by Verizon, which performed very well. We remain underweighted in AT&T bonds. Security selection in certain noncorporate credit sectors—including supranational, local agency, and local authority bonds—also aided relative performance.

Our shortfalls

In the equity portfolio, stock selection in the health care and energy sectors hurt relative performance. Individual detractors included Goldcorp, IBM, and universal bank Standard Chartered.

Goldcorp, a senior gold producer with assets in North, Central, and South America, saw its shares plummet along with the sudden and steep drop in gold commodity prices. Fundamentals surprised us on the downside.

Shares of IBM declined modestly. Slowing global growth and sluggish hardware sales led to a disappointing performance. Although we still view IBM as an attractive long-term investment and maintain a position, we have reduced our holdings.

The portfolio’s positioning

We continue to anticipate a moderately growing global economy. We are encouraged by recent data from Europe suggesting that perhaps the continent’s economy has stabilized. The U.S. economy is further improving, albeit at moderate growth rates, and should benefit from momentum in housing and auto sales and sustained growth in the oil shale industry.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

It is worth noting that we do not see as much upside in the equity market today as we did a couple of years ago.

We remain overweighted in the financial sector, particularly in large-cap U.S. banks. The strengthening housing market should support this group, and rising interest rates should aid longer-term profitability. We have also increased our exposure to insurance companies, many of which should also benefit from rising rates.

We are focusing on high-quality financial institutions with solid balance sheets, strong management teams, and attractive valuations.

We also are significantly overweighted in health care, where we are targeting stocks that offer stable cash flows and high yields and trade at attractive valuations. We favor large-cap biopharmaceutical stocks. We believe many of these companies have solid pipelines that are underappreciated by investors.

The portfolio remains underweighted in information technology, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples. Many consumer staples stocks are at historically high valuations, and we are having a difficult time finding value. Apple accounts for a portion of our technology underweight, though we bought more shares during the year after initiating a small position.

We continue to search diligently for attractively valued companies with strong operating characteristics. We are particularly interested in those whose

business fundamentals are poised to improve. As always, an above-average dividend is central to our stock selection process.

We focus on identifying industries with favorable supply-and-demand dynamics and, ultimately, the best stocks in those industries. We are positioned in companies that should benefit from global growth over time, though we remain cautious about the near term.

Bond prices may decline further depending on the pace and progression of the Fed’s tapering of its bond purchases. We closed the period with a shorter-than-benchmark duration posture to mitigate bond principal losses that are likely to result as rates rise.

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.

U.S. Treasury, as needed to maintain a positive net worth, in exchange for senior preferred stock.
2 The average or expected maturity is shorter than the final maturity shown because of the possibility of interim principal payments and prepayments or the possibility of the issue being called.
3 Includes securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for which the portfolio has not taken delivery as of December 31, 2013.
4 Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
At December 31, 2013, the aggregate value of these securities was $70,965,000, representing 3.4% of net assets.
5 Adjustable-rate security.

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, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and

16

 

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

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 may use 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearing-house 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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 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

17

 

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

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 year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counter-party’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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

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, 2010–2013), 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.

18

 

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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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 year ended December 31, 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 $47,000 (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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $231,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if the reference entity was subject to a credit event.

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 year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency losses of $28,000, 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 $8,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $61,291,000 of ordinary income and $101,464,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,623,119,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $465,366,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $478,354,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $12,988,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $457,896,000 of investment securities and sold $418,963,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $202,896,000 and $159,188,000, respectively.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

   
  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 11,289 11,794
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 4,051 2,153
Redeemed (8,769) (7,905)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 6,571 6,042

 

At December 31, 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 80% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Balanced Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Balanced Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 1,023.84 1.38

 

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® Capital Growth Portfolio

Buoyed by soaring stock markets and the skill of its advisor, Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio returned 38.48% in 2013, well ahead of 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.

A commitment to health care and technology stocks paid off

The significant and long-standing commitment of PRIMECAP Management Company, the portfolio’s advisor, to health care and information technology stocks rewarded investors handsomely. Each of these sectors accounted for more than 30% of the portfolio’s market value on average during the year and earned benchmark-beating returns. Biotechnology and medical device companies powered health care results; semiconductor firms drove tech stocks.

Strength was deep and wide, also encompassing industrials, the portfolio’s third-largest sector. Only the relatively small consumer staples and materials sectors—which both had double-digit gains—held back results slightly compared with the benchmark. Keep in mind, however, that the portfolio typically looks quite different from the benchmark, reflecting the advisor’s strategy and focus on underappreciated stocks.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisor’s Report that follows. Also, Vanguard expresses its appreciation to Mitch Milias, PRIMECAP’s co-founder, chairman, and one of the managers of the Capital Growth Portfolio. As part of a natural progression, Mitch relinquished his portfolio management duties in December but remains with the firm in a management and client relationship role. Mitch’s portion of the portfolio was absorbed by the existing advisors, each of whom is responsible for his own portion.

The portfolio’s long-term track record has been outstanding, despite some bumps. Its 10.30% average annual return for the past ten years is about 3 percentage points higher than both the return of its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and the average return of its peers.

Over time, even a small degree of outperformance can meaningfully affect a portfolio’s value. That’s why many investors remain drawn to active management’s opportunity for market-beating returns—despite considerable research showing that only a minority of active managers outperform their benchmarks.

Because past performance is no guarantee of future results, trying to identify potential winning managers using the common gauge of historical returns often leads to disappointment.

Long-term active outperformance is uncommon in large part because of active management’s typically higher expenses. Impatience can also lead investors to end up with less than they’d hoped for over the long run. Even the best market-beating managers can’t avoid short-term periods of underperformance. An investor who is unwilling to endure some lean years could unwisely abandon a talented manager and miss out on long-term rewards.

(You can read more in The Bumpy Road to Outperformance, available at vanguard.com/research.)

That’s why we recommend paying attention to costs and taking a patient, long-term view, as PRIMECAP does. Vanguard offers access to world-class active managers at costs well below industry averages, to try to give investors the best chance for success.

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio returned 38.48%, exceeding both the 32.39% return of its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and the 34.10% average return of its peers. Favorable stock selection and an overweight position in the health care sector, as well as positive stock picks in information technology, accounted for most of the outperformance.

Investment environment

The investment environment was heavily influenced by accommodative central bank policies in the United States, Japan, and Europe. Equity markets in Japan, the United States, and Western Europe performed strongly, but those in developing countries in Asia and Latin America generally declined as China’s economic growth decelerated, the dollar strengthened, and commodity prices fell.

In the United States, risk premiums decreased as investors sought higher returns. This was evident in the stock market, where cyclical sectors outperformed defensive sectors, small-capitalization stocks surpassed large-caps, and companies with weak balance sheets beat those with strong ones. In a reversal of a multiyear trend, equity funds experienced inflows while bond funds saw outflows.

The U.S. and European economies recovered further. Real U.S. GDP growth accelerated to 4.1% in the third quarter as inventory investment picked up, and conditions in Europe improved from depressed levels as the Eurozone emerged in the second quarter from its double-dip recession. The United States also is in an energy boom driven by the adoption of hydraulic fracturing technology. Lower energy imports and prices led to a smaller current account deficit and lower consumer prices.

The housing market remained strong as home sales and housing starts increased year over year, though higher prices and mortgage rates could slow the pace of improvement. Demand for capital goods such as automobiles, aircraft, and consumer durables was robust, aided by low interest rates. Consumer price inflation decelerated, driven in part by a stronger dollar and lower food and energy prices. The labor market further improved but remained relatively weak; although the official unemployment rate dipped to 6.7%, underemployment was high and the workforce participation rate declined.

The S&P 500 Index, after posting its largest annual increase since 1997, ended the year at a record high. The forward price/earnings multiple of approximately 16 times at the end of 2013 appears reasonable by historical standards, but we are skeptical that recent earnings-per-share growth—largely generated through profit-margin expansion and financial engineering—can be sustained unless revenue growth accelerates. Although we still believe that stocks are more attractive than bonds at current prices, the spread between the earnings yield on the S&P 500 Index and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond narrowed as stock prices rose and bond prices fell. The 10-year Treasury bond yielded almost 3% at year-end, up about 1.25 percentage points from December 2012.

Management of the portfolio

Favorable stock selection in information technology, health care, industrials, and financials, plus an overweight position in health care, drove the portfolio’s relative outperformance. In technology, it’s worth noting that the portfolio significantly outperformed despite being overweighted in a sector whose index return lagged that of the index overall. Underweight positions in utilities, telecommunication services, consumer staples, and energy also benefited relative returns. The top contributors included Biogen Idec (91%), FedEx (58%), Micron (243%), Adobe (59%), and Charles Schwab (83%).

These positives were partly offset by unfavorable selection in materials, notably Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (–16%). Average cash reserves of 4.8% during the year detracted from relative returns by almost 2 percentage points.

Market and economic cycles vary in duration and are difficult to predict; however, new technologies that improve upon existing methods tend to be adopted irrespective of such cycles. Our overweight positions in information technology and health care are largely based on our assessment of how technologies are likely to evolve and which companies are best positioned to benefit from adopting them. Investments in those two sectors together constituted more than 60% of average holdings during the year, nearly double their combined weighting of 31% in the index.

In information technology, the internet is burgeoning as new platforms such as smartphones are adopted worldwide and new concepts such as utility computing services, or cloud computing, are developed. We believe we have positioned the portfolio to benefit from internet growth by investing in companies that provide enabling technologies as well as those that offer internet-based services directly to end users.

Our substantial investments in health care reflect our beliefs that innovation will continue and consumption of health care products will grow faster than the overall economy for the foreseeable future. Global demand growth is supported by the aging of populations in most developed countries as well as in China (largely because of its one-child policy); health care spending rises as populations age. On the supply side, the industry’s considerable

investments in research and development over the years are resulting in new and more effective therapies for many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.

We are particularly enthusiastic about investments in health care and information technology, but we continue to seek investment opportunities in all sectors, focusing on companies with better growth prospects over three to five years than their current valuations would suggest.

Although we focus on long-term results, we are encouraged by the significant improvement in 2013 in the portfolio’s return, which generally lagged that of the S&P 500 Index in the three previous calendar years. We remain committed to our investment philosophy based on individual stock selection. This “bottom-up” approach can lead to periods of underperformance when the stocks in the portfolio fall out of favor, but we believe it can generate superior results for investors long term.

Outlook for U.S. equities

Looking ahead to 2014, we are less optimistic about U.S. equities than we have been in recent years. The S&P 500 Index has rebounded by more than 170% since its March 2009 low, and valuations appear stretched in some market segments. Revenue growth remains tepid, profit margins are near record highs, and borrowing costs are approaching record lows. We believe that the scope for further profit margin expansion is limited and that interest rates are likely to return to more normal levels. Unless revenue growth accelerates, we would expect slower earnings growth over the next few years.

We are concerned that the lack of significant consumer inflation in the United States since the Great Recession has led many to assume that these conditions will persist indefinitely. Higher inflation would necessitate higher interest rates, resulting in losses for bondholders and higher debt service costs for borrowers over time. Overall U.S. debt levels remain high relative to GDP, and large, unfunded entitlement program obligations cloud the federal fiscal outlook. High inflation typically leads to lower price/ earnings multiples and stock prices.

Although inflation has yet to show up in consumer prices, asset prices have increased substantially, contributing to record U.S. household net worth of $77 trillion at the end of the third quarter. Despite this, the Federal Reserve has committed to maintaining its ultralow short-term interest-rate policy for the foreseeable future and continues to expand its balance sheet through its monthly bond purchases. Much of this newly created money remains in the banking system as excess reserves, but some of it is probably being used to purchase financial assets, leading to higher financial asset prices. Net interest margins earned by financial institutions are also depressed as a result of low interest rates, and lenders are beginning to ease credit standards in some areas. Corporations issued more debt than ever in 2013. The Federal Reserve’s loose monetary policies appear to be encouraging increased risk-taking and speculation.

Many of the portfolio’s largest holdings, notably in information technology, have very well-capitalized balance sheets, in many cases with large net cash balances. We believe such stocks would benefit relative to companies with more leveraged balance sheets in a rising-interest-rate environment or in a market downturn.

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 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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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 year ended December 31, 2013, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the portfolio’s average net assets.

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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $71,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 569,717 31,822
Temporary Cash Investments 30,450
Total 600,167 31,822

 

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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $5,860,000 of ordinary income and $13,266,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $428,695,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $203,294,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $211,365,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $8,071,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $93,859,000 of investment securities and sold $35,818,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

   
  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 8,131 3,496
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 871 579
Redeemed (4,610) (5,305)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,392 (1,230)

 

At December 31, 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 65% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Capital Growth Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Growth Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Vanguard Capital 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.

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.14 2.09

 

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® Conservative Allocation Portfolio

While it was a banner year for U.S. stocks and a strong year for their international counterparts, bonds had a tough year. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Conservative Allocation Portfolio returned 9.06%, a result that was in line with the return of its composite benchmark index and more than a percentage point ahead of the average return of peer funds.

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards over the past year. For additional perspective, we also present their annualized returns since inception.

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.

Stocks posted strong gains for 2013, while bond returns were negative

The Conservative Allocation Portfolio, as a “fund of funds,” seeks to capture the returns of its benchmark by investing in a combination of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund (VVIF) portfolios and Vanguard index funds. Although 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 Bond Index Fund (12%), Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (12%), and Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund (6%).

The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio, which has significant holdings in U.S. government bonds and in corporate bonds, returned –2.29% as the broad U.S. taxable bond market posted its first calendar-year loss in more than a decade. Concerns about the Federal Reserve’s plans to reduce its massive stimulative

bond-buying program contributed to a sharp rise in bond yields along with price declines over the year.

As we noted in our report six months ago, we increased diversification within the Conservative Allocation Portfolio in midyear by adding a 12% allocation to Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund. The fund’s return was essentially flat during the time it was included in the portfolio.

As U.S. stocks turned in their best calendar year since the mid-1990s, the VVIF Equity Index Portfolio, which holds larger-company stocks, returned about 32%. The Extended Market Index Fund, holding mid- and small-capitalization stocks, returned about 38%.

Financials had a notable impact on the U.S. stock market, with gains coming from diversified financial services giants, insurance firms, commercial banks, asset managers, and consumer finance companies. Consumer-related stocks also performed well as Americans grew willing to spend more on shopping, dining out, and entertainment.

Abroad, stocks rose smartly in aggregate but still trailed the U.S. market considerably, with Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund returning about 15%.

A balanced, diversified approach is wise in up and down markets alike

At Vanguard, we always counsel investors to avoid chasing high returns or overreacting to unusual losses. It’s a point worth keeping in mind in view of the robust returns and negative results turned in by stocks and bonds respectively in 2013.

We encourage our clients instead to maintain a balanced and diversified investment program—an approach exemplified by the Conservative Allocation Portfolio.

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.

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, 2011–2013), 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.

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 year ended December 31, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).

At December 31, 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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $2,661,000 of ordinary income and $2,210,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $98,099,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,657,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $6,192,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,535,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $66,321,000 of investment securities and sold $30,432,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 2,591 2,499
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 57 3
Redeemed (1,139) (271)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 1,509 2,231

 

G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Conservative Allocation Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Conservative Allocation Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 recent 12-month period.

Vanguard® Diversified Value Portfolio

In contrast to 2012, large-company value stocks fell behind their growth counterparts as increasingly confident investors focused less on dividend payouts and more on growth potential. Still, in a year of exceptional equity results, Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio returned a robust 29.40%, about 3 percentage points behind 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.

Significant strength in core sectors tempered by some disappointments

The portfolio’s holdings in three of its largest sectors—financials, industrials, and energy—outpaced those in the benchmark index. Financial stocks, for example, returned about 40% for the

year, an especially welcome outcome not long after the depths of the 2008–2009 financial crisis.

The smaller information technology and consumer-oriented sectors, however, included some disappointments—even though IT holdings returned well above 30%. Keep in mind, too, that in a portfolio that typically holds fewer than 50 companies, the returns of just a few holdings can lead to divergence from the benchmark.

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

When traveling a long, bumpy road, be sure to pack some patience

Over time, even a small degree of outperformance can meaningfully affect a portfolio’s value. That’s why many investors remain drawn to active management’s opportunity for market-beating returns—despite considerable research showing that only a minority of active managers outperform their benchmarks.

Because past performance is no guarantee of future results, trying to identify potential winning managers using the common gauge of historical returns often leads to disappointment.

Long-term active outperformance is uncommon in large part because of active management’s typically higher expenses. Impatience can also lead investors to end up with less than they’d hoped for over the long run. Even the best market-beating managers—such as your portfolio’s advisor—can’t avoid short-term periods of underperformance. An investor who is unwilling to endure some lean years could unwisely abandon a talented manager and miss out on long-term rewards.

(You can read more in The Bumpy Road to Outperformance, available at vanguard.com/research.)

That’s why we recommend paying attention to costs and taking a patient, long-term view. Vanguard offers access to world-class active managers at costs well below industry averages, to try to give investors the best chance for success.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The Diversified Value Portfolio returned 29.40% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, versus 32.53% for the benchmark Russell 1000 Value Index.

The investment environment

U.S. stocks are in their sixth year of advance and recovery. European markets have also rallied, but they lagged during the past year. Emerging markets under-performed, and Japan outperformed. Investment-grade bonds posted a negative return, but low-quality debt instruments did well, reflecting an economy that continues to improve despite a tendency in the news media to overanalyze every hiccup. The Federal Reserve, with its purchases of all sorts of debt, is providing the fuel for the economy’s expansion. Monetary policy promises to be accommodative for another year or more. Any reduction in stimulus

should not significantly affect confidence, but unemployment will remain somewhat elevated.

Our successes and shortfalls

We are a rather concentrated large-capitalization value manager, with only about 40 holdings on average. Our median market-cap requirement eliminates from our universe the 50% of lower-cap companies whose equity value is below $6 billion. Although most stocks did well over the 12 months, returns were inversely rank-ordered: Smaller-caps did better than large-caps, and stocks paying low or no dividends outperformed those offering the highest dividends. This should correct in the future.

Energy stock selection benefited the portfolio’s performance, led by Phillips 66 and Marathon Petroleum, as refiners did much better than integrated oil companies. In the financial sector, many holdings posted market-beating returns, most notably consumer credit companies American Express and SLM, as well as PNC Financial, Wells Fargo, and JPMorgan Chase. In fact, financials contributed significantly more than any other sector to total returns. A lack of materials stocks also helped relative performance, as commodities declined in price.

Our consumer staples stocks under-performed the benchmark’s, primarily because of disappointing returns for Diageo, Imperial Tobacco, and Philip Morris, none of which are in the benchmark. Utility picks also detracted.

Significant Portfolio Changes  
Period Ended December 31, 2013  
 
New Positions Comments
Sanofi ADR Sanofi has one of the most attractive businesses after its patent
  cliff; 85% of its sales are from products with no patent issues,
  and its earnings growth profile is appealing. The company has
  a diversity of strong offerings in diabetes care, animal health,
  vaccines, over-the-counter consumer products, and drugs for
  rare diseases. Despite these attributes, the stock was trading
  at a below-average valuation of 13 times forward earnings with
a 3.8% dividend yield. 

Walmart Although huge, Walmart is still expected to increase its earnings
  per share by 9% to 10% next year and has an above-average
  dividend. The recent disappointing Christmas depressed most
  retailers to the point where they sell at relatively low P/Es, and
  we took advantage of that to initiate a modest position.
 
Closed Positions Comments
Baxter A longtime portfolio holding, Baxter outperformed in previous
  years. We sold the stock as its price reached the high end in
  its peer group, with a yield lower than the portfolio’s. Earnings
  progress has slowed to about the market rate.
Exelis A spin-off from ITT, the company is exposed to defense spending,
  and earnings are declining to flat at best. The yield is below average,
  and the P/E is only slightly below the portfolio’s. The stock
  recovered well and we sold it.
General Electric We eliminated our holdings expecting growth to be slow, in
  part because the company is remaking itself with expensive
  acquisitions and cheap divestitures—sort of like “buy high and
  sell low!”
Service Corp. International We sold our stock in this major funeral and cemetery business
  based on price. The stock had a below-average yield, an
  above-average P/E, and moderate growth expectations.
Spectra Energy We sold Spectra Energy because it was more than 21 times
  earnings, and its visibility is limited because it depends on
  natural-gas prices, which are quite volatile.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

In the consumer discretionary sector, Carnival was an unfortunate selection; its costs rose and demand fell because of perceived problems with its cruise ships’ reliability and safety after the Costa Concordia wreck and other incidents.

Our portfolio positioning

Many so-called market experts now worry about the overall level of stocks—perhaps some measure of sour grapes from those who didn’t participate fully in the recovery. The very significant “hedge” fund community spent the past five years in investments with low returns and little correlation to equities. They were protecting customers from a bull market, and now they’re offering equity-only products. We think our weighted average price/earnings ratio of 13.2 times expected 2014 results is reasonable given historically low interest rates, low inflation, and an expanding economy.

Some warning signs persist, though, such as the fascination with internet companies with no earnings and, in some cases, no revenue. And strong flows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have elevated beyond reason the smallest stocks, as they are purchased according to a formula. We also wonder about their liquidity in a decline. The sponsors are pleased to create units for a buyer, but a seller—particularly in a smaller ETF—might have to settle for a significant discount to net asset value, as is the case in a closed-end mutual fund. Should performance pressures force hedge funds out of other investments and into stocks, we could see an explosive advance in equities.

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, 2010–2013), 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. 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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.

5. 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 year ended December 31, 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 $57,000 (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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $125,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).

At December 31, 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.

The portfolio used capital loss carryforwards of $11,223,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended December 31, 2013, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $25,225,000 of ordinary income and $44,993,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $891,914,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $227,249,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $306,730,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $79,481,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $209,073,000 of investment securities and sold $195,501,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 8,511 9,788
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 1,407 1,348
Redeemed (8,930) (8,717)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 988 2,419

 

At December 31, 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.

H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Diversified Value Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diversified Value Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Vanguard Diversified Value 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 December 31, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Diversified Value Portfolio 6/30/2013 12/31/2013 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,129.13 $1.88
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.44 1.79

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® Equity Income Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio returned 30.04% in 2013, in line with its dividend-oriented benchmark index and almost 2 percentage points ahead of the average return of peer funds. As stock markets kept climbing, increasingly confident investors focused less on dividend payouts and more on growth potential. Not surprisingly, the portfolio’s slower-growing, higher-yielding companies lagged the 33.55% return of the broad U.S. market.

At year-end, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield stood at 2.59%, down from 2.92% at the end of December 2012, as dividends constituted a smaller share of considerably higher stock prices. Still, the portfolio’s yield was more than 1 percentage point higher than that of the broad market 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.

The portfolio’s largest sectors earned some of its highest returns

Long-established blue-chip industrial and financial companies delivered some of the portfolio’s best results and accounted for nearly 40% of its total return. Performance was strong across industry groups, with double-digit gains in all ten sectors.

Compared with the benchmark index, the advisors’ selections among consumer discretionary and utilities stocks were notable successes, but industrials and financials held back results.

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

When traveling a long, bumpy road, be sure to pack some patience

For the decade, the Equity Income Portfolio produced an 8.40% average annual return, in line with that of its benchmark index (which, like all indexes, incurs no expenses). The advisors’ dividend-focused active strategy helped the portfolio outpace two important standards—the broad U.S. market and the average return of peer funds.

The figures shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. (Current performance

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.

Over time, even a small degree of outperformance can meaningfully affect a portfolio’s value. That’s why many investors remain drawn to active management’s opportunity for market-beating returns—despite considerable research showing that only a minority of active managers outperform their benchmarks.

Because past performance is no guarantee of future results, trying to identify potential winning managers using the common gauge of historical returns often leads to disappointment.

Long-term active outperformance is uncommon largely because of active management’s typically higher expenses. Impatience can also lead investors to end up with less than they’d hoped for over the long run. Even the best market-beating managers can’t avoid short-term periods of underperformance. An investor who is unwilling to endure some lean years could unwisely abandon a talented manager and miss out on long-term rewards.

(You can read more in The Bumpy Road to Outperformance, available at vanguard.com/research.)

That’s why we recommend paying attention to costs and taking a patient, long-term view. Vanguard offers access to world-class active managers at costs well below industry averages, to try to give investors the best chance for success.

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio returned 30.04% in 2013, in line with the 30.34% return of the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index and almost 2 percentage points ahead of the average return of peer funds. 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 2013 and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on January 13, 2014.

Wellington Management Company, LLP

Portfolio Manager:

W. Michael Reckmeyer, III, CFA,

Senior Vice President T

he 2013 performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was its strongest in 15 years. Results were driven by increasing investor confidence that the economy would keep expanding and by the favorable monetary environment created by quantitative easing.

Corporate profits have grown nicely, but the biggest factor behind the markets’ surge was expanding valuation multiples as investors anticipated profits rising further. We share this optimism but are cognizant that risks remain.

The prospect of quantitative easing’s unwinding has resulted in higher interest rates. This could have unintended consequences, particularly for U.S. housing sectors but also for emerging economies, whose currencies came under pressure from fears of tighter U.S. monetary policy. U.S. deficits have diminished but longer-term challenges remain, and the recent problems with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act add more uncertainty.

The U.S. economy appears to be strengthening as we enter 2014, as evidenced by improving employment trends, plans for higher capital spending, and stronger consumer confidence. In addition, many of last year’s concerns, such as higher taxation and the budget sequester, have now annualized, providing a stronger base for growth.

Europe also continues to improve, and we expect growth in 2014, albeit at moderate rates. Germany and the United Kingdom have the most robust activity, but some of the Southern European countries that experienced the worst economic stress appear to be stabilizing as well.

China’s economy is still growing, albeit at a slowing rate. An effort to rebalance its economy to be more consumer-oriented faces challenges such as rapid credit growth, speculative real estate markets, and environmental problems. We believe the country will manage these issues, but disruption to the process remains a risk.

Significant portfolio purchases during the past 12 months included new positions in Verizon, Home Depot, energy company Suncor, and Wal-Mart. We sold our holdings in General Mills and animal-health firm Zoetis as they achieved our target prices. We swapped Lowe’s for Home Depot, which we believe offers better upside potential and a more attractive dividend yield, and we sold our stock in insurer Swiss Re because of its eroding fundamentals.

Higher-dividend-yielding equities lagged the overall U.S. equity market by about 3 percentage points, and the Russell 3000 Index was up more than 33%. Overall, U.S. equities delivered their largest calendar-year return since 1995, when the market gained more than 36%.

The past year was one of investor and economic optimism. GDP growth exceeded expectations, the housing market recovered strongly, unemployment fell further, and consumer confidence improved. However, such rapid, strong gains raise questions about whether the equity market has gotten a little ahead of itself.

The worldwide picture remains mixed. The United States continues to lead the recovery from the recession, but improvement is still slow, uneven, and well below post-World War II averages. With manufacturing, consumer confidence, and the housing market improved, the Federal Reserve announced it would start tapering its extraordinary quantitative easing program—even though the unemployment rate stayed north of 7% until late in the year—and interest rates rose.

Elsewhere, Europe is holding steady, and recent weakness in China appears to be turning around. Within the High Dividend Yield equity universe, all ten sectors advanced. Industrial, financial, and information technology companies led, and telecommunications and utility stocks brought up the rear.

For the year, results of the stock selection models we use to rank companies against their industry peers were mixed. Our sentiment, quality, and growth models succeeded in identifying the top performers and helped results, but our management decisions and valuation models were ineffective and detracted.

Our stock selection was positive in six sectors and negative in four relative to the benchmark index. Choices in consumer discretionary, materials, and industrials contributed the most to relative returns. In consumer discretionary,

overweight positions in H&R Block, Gannett, and Las Vegas Sands were the top performers. LyondellBasell Industries and PPG Industries led in materials, as did Boeing, Northrup Grumman, and Raytheon in industrials.

Company picks in consumer staples and financials were the largest relative detractor, primarily because of underweight allocations to good performers: Walgreens, Coca-Cola, and Procter & Gamble in the consumer sector and Prudential Financial, PNC Financial Services, and Marsh & McLennan in financials.

We cannot predict how broad economic or political events will affect the markets. However, we are confident that the stock market will have worthwhile returns for long-term investors, and we believe that equity exposure will remain an important part of a diversified investment plan. We thank you for your investment and look forward to the new fiscal year.

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.

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

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.

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 may use 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. 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements

66

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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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.

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. 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 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 $233,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 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 $3,000 (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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $102,000 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).

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

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

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 857,128 42,124
Temporary Cash Investments 5,746 5,901
Futures Contracts—Assets1 25
Total 862,899 48,025

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
S&P 500 Index March 2014 10 4,603 170
E-mini S&P 500 Index March 2014 27 2,485 6
        176

 

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.

The portfolio used a capital loss carryforward of $20,776,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended December 31, 2013, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $21,890,000 of ordinary income and $46,112,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $713,039,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $197,860,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $201,946,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,086,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $352,696,000 of investment securities and sold $266,770,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 6,743 6,168
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 990 901
Redeemed (5,118) (4,298)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 2,615 2,771

 

At December 31, 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Equity Income Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Income Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 December 31, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Equity Income Portfolio 6/30/2013 12/31/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.59 1.63

 

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 0.32%. 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

U.S. stocks led global markets in 2013 as investor confidence trumped political wrangling in Washington, a mixed economic picture, and fiscal policy uncertainty. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio returned 32.18%. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index and the average return of peer funds (both at 32.39%).

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards for the year. For additional perspective, we also present their annualized returns for the past ten years.

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.

A broad spectrum of sectors produced an impressive result

In 2013, the stock market overcame many challenges to investors’ confidence. High on the list was uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve would curtail its stimulative bond-buying program.

In addition, investors confronted the U.S. government shutdown, the failure of Cyprus’s banking system, and a sluggish global economy. Nonetheless, corporate profits impressed, and investors displayed growing confidence in the market.

Stocks of every size, style, and sector participated in the rally, which sent the return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index above 30%. This index, which the Equity Index Portfolio seeks to track, consists of 500 of the largest U.S. companies and accounts for more than three-quarters of the U.S. stock market’s value.

Each of the portfolio’s ten industry sectors recorded double-digit returns, but just five accounted for three-quarters of its gain: financials, health care, information technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials.

The financial sector, the portfolio’s second largest, returned nearly 36%. Notable gains came from diversified financial services giants, insurance firms, commercial banks, asset managers, and consumer finance companies.

The figures shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. (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 health care, consumer discretionary, and industrial sectors each returned more than 40%. Major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies shined as pipelines for new medicines expanded. Within the consumer discretionary sector, media corporations and internet and specialty retailers reaped rewards from favorable trends among customers and in the broad economy.

Setting the pace in industrials were the aerospace and defense industries, where technological improvements and cost management have helped some companies offset cuts in government spending. Information technology, the portfolio’s largest sector, returned about 28% overall as software, internet, data processing services, and semiconductor stocks flourished. The consumer staples, energy, and materials sectors had returns of about 25%.

The portfolio sustained its lead over large-cap core peers

For the decade through December 2013, the Equity Index Portfolio recorded an average annual return of 7.31%. This result was in line with that of the portfolio’s target, the S&P 500 Index, which has no transaction costs or operating expenses.

The close index tracking is all the more impressive when you remember that those ten years included the financial crisis and global recession of 2008–2009, which sent markets reeling. Vanguard Equity Investment Group, the portfolio’s advisor, deserves credit for its success in tracking the benchmark.

The advisor was helped by the portfolio’s low expenses, which are far below the average for its peer group. Over the decade, the portfolio topped the 6.40% average annual return of its peers.

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 may use 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 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

79

 

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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. 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $353,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 3,188,722
Temporary Cash Investments 11,430 1,849
Futures Contracts—Assets1 39
Total 3,200,191 1,849
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)

S&P 500 Index March 2014 11 5,063 195
        354

 

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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $57,620,000 of ordinary income and $58,488,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,427,934,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $774,067,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $962,102,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $188,035,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $268,085,000 of investment securities and sold $214,827,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  (000) (000)
Issued 14,533 11,356

Redeemed (14,485) (13,459)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,572 3,695

 

At December 31, 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Equity Index Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Index Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and broker and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

Vanguard® Growth Portfolio

After trailing their value-oriented counterparts in the first half of 2013, large-company growth stocks surged ahead in the second half. For the year, the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 33.48%, almost 1 percentage point ahead of the Russell 1000 Value Index. Building on this strength, Vanguard Growth Portfolio’s 35.28% return placed it ahead of its benchmark—by almost 2 percentage points—and its peer-group average.

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 returns in some expected and unexpected industry groups

The portfolio notched some of its highest returns in two relatively small sectors not often associated with growth-stock investing. Consumer staples returned about 50% and financial holdings about 47%, far surpassing these sectors’ returns in the benchmark index. Information technology holdings, which are more

typical growth stocks and the largest slice of the portfolio, returned about 31% and also helped boost relative returns.

There were some disappointments, however. Industrials, for example, returned nearly 40%, but the portfolio’s comparatively light stake limited their contribution. Of course, “disappointment” is a relative term in the context of such robust gains.

When traveling a long, bumpy road, be sure to pack some patience

After some subpar years, we are encouraged by the Growth Portfolio’s performance since Vanguard restructured its advisory arrangement in late 2010. Two years of better-than-benchmark returns have narrowed the performance gap with its comparative standards. The portfolio’s 7.22% average annual return over the past decade trailed the Russell 1000 Growth

Index by roughly half a percentage point, but it pulled ahead of the average return of its peers.

As we’ve seen, even a small degree of outperformance can meaningfully affect a portfolio’s value over time. That’s why many investors remain drawn to active management’s opportunity for market-beating returns—despite considerable research showing that only a minority of active managers outperform their benchmarks.

Because past performance is no guarantee of future results, trying to identify potential winning managers using the common gauge of historical returns often leads to disappointment.

Long-term active outperformance is uncommon in large part because of active management’s typically higher expenses. Impatience can also lead investors to end up with less than they’d hoped for over the long run. Even the best market-beating managers can’t avoid short-term periods of underperformance. An investor who is unwilling to endure some lean years could unwisely abandon a talented manager and miss out on long-term rewards.

(You can read more in The Bumpy Road to Outperformance, available at vanguard.com/research.)

That’s why we recommend paying attention to costs and taking a patient, long-term view. Vanguard offers access to world-class active managers at costs well below industry averages, to try to give investors the best chance for success.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Growth Portfolio returned 35.28% in 2013, compared with a 33.48% return for the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index and the 34.56% 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 2013 and of the effect this environment had on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on January 13, 2014.

Top contributors to our portion of the portfolio included Celgene and priceline.com. Celgene, a leading player in the treatment of blood cancers, has a growing pipeline of drugs for breast, lung, and pancreatic cancer. During the year, the Food and Drug Administration approved Celgene’s pancreatic cancer drug. Celgene is also benefiting from strong growth prospects driven by higher usage of and additional indications for its drugs and by its international expansion.

Priceline.com continues to post attractive results based on strong growth domestically and in its European hotel bookings. We believe that it can still gain market share in Europe and that the company’s expansion into other regions, such as Asia, provides favorable growth prospects.

Teradata and Crown Castle International detracted from performance. Teradata declined as it warned of, and ultimately reported, third-quarter results below initial consensus estimates; the computer company also cut its full-year outlook based on weaker-than-expected sales outside the United States and Europe. And despite investor concern about pressure from potential competitors in Teradata’s core markets, we believe the database warehousing market is large and growing and can accommodate the competition. We believe these concerns are relatively transitory as Teradata keeps signing up new clients and increasing its existing business.

Crown Castle International, a key provider of wireless services infrastructure, was relatively flat during a strong upmarket period as investors remained concerned about whether its strong growth is likely to persist. The rise in interest rates (and potentially higher future rates) has created challenges for the stock because of its strong cash flow and yield metrics. Despite market concerns, we continue to own the stock.

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

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

Wellington Management Company, LLP

Portfolio Manager:
Andrew J. Shilling, CFA,
Senior Vice President

Our portion of the portfolio seeks to outperform growth indexes and, longer term, the broader market. We employ proprietary fundamental research and a rigorous valuation discipline to invest in large-capitalization companies with attractive growth characteristics. Our investment approach is based on identifying companies with a clear competitive advantage that will enable them to sustain above-average growth.

Stocks rose sharply over the portfolio’s fiscal year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index returned 32.39%. Favorable global liquidity dynamics and accommodative monetary policy from central banks boosted shares in the United States and many other developed markets.

Our stock selection in information technology and consumer staples was strong. This was partly offset by unfavorable selection in the consumer discretionary sector.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, the leading provider of single-cup brewers and K-Cups, was our top relative contributor. The market responded favorably to the company’s better-than-expected earnings and management’s improved full-year earnings guidance. Profit margins exceeded investors’ expectations, particularly in K-Cups. We retain our holdings, believing that Green Mountain’s diversified line of K-Cups will enable it to significantly expand its household penetration over the next several years.

One of the portfolio’s major detractors was Edwards Lifesciences, which specializes in heart valve technology and treatments for cardiovascular disease. The company initially gained market share with its Sapien XT technology, which enables heart valves to be replaced using a catheter instead of open heart surgery. Because this

procedure is significantly less invasive, we expected Edwards to keep gaining market share. However, Sapien XT did not prove popular despite solid performance data, and shares fell as investors grew concerned about the product’s ultimate market size. Our expectations changed, and, acknowledging that the company would have competition in this area, we sold our holdings.

At the end of 2013, we were underweighted in the traditionally defensive consumer staples sector, where we believe valuations remain fairly high. Our largest overweighting was in consumer discretionary, where we still find compelling long-term growth opportunities.

We continue to anticipate moderate growth globally. We are encouraged by recent data suggesting that Europe’s economy has stabilized. Emerging markets have shown pockets of recent weakness, but we do not expect a significant global downturn given the strength of the U.S. economy and the improved balance sheets of many emerging-market countries. In the United States, continued momentum in housing and automobile sales and sustained growth in the oil shale industry should benefit the economy. Overall, the United States should continue expanding, with stronger growth, a smaller deficit, and limited inflationary pressures.

William Blair & Company, L.L.C.

Portfolio Managers:
James Golan, CFA, Principal

David Ricci, CFA, Principal

Despite significant fiscal drag and the prospect of reduced monetary stimulus, stocks advanced steadily during the year, thanks in part to solid economic and corporate performance. In the United States, an improving housing market and better employment data, as well as strong corporate profits, supported equity performance, as did economic stabilization in Europe and recovery in Japan. Equities also benefited from an expanded market valuation multiple. This was driven by investors’ perception of lower global systematic risk compared with the elevated risk that equity prices discounted in the years following the 2008–2009 financial crisis.

Our success was driven by a combination of strong stock selection and favorable style trends. Our typical bias to stocks with higher growth and lower dividend yields was beneficial as those segments outperformed. Gilead Sciences (health care), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (consumer staples), and MasterCard (information technology) were the largest contributors to relative return. Positioning in financials added value, boosted by an investment in Affiliated Managers Group as well as our typical underweight allocation to real estate investment trusts (REITs). On the downside, two of the largest detractors, Citrix Systems and Apple, came from IT. Positions in Home Depot (consumer discretionary) and Monsanto (materials) also weighed on relative results.

The market is likely to remain very data-dependent, looking for signs that the recovery remains on track. The pace of the Federal Reserve’s tapering and management of expectations will be critical to limiting volatility. As corporate profit margins remain high, further earnings growth will largely be a function of revenue growth. Although a boost from accelerating GDP growth would help, we continue to look for businesses with company-specific revenue and margin drivers. Our bottom-up perspective allows us to focus on identifying and constructing portfolios of high-quality businesses that we believe can sustain outsized earnings growth over the long run.

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.

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 may use 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. 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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. 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counter-party’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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

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, 2010–2013), 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 on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. Wellington Management Company, LLP, Delaware Investments Fund Advisers, and William Blair and 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 fees of Wellington Management Company, llp, and Delaware Investments Fund Advisers are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The basic fee of William Blair and Company, L.L.C., is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding five years relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

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

For the year ended December 31, 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 $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

93

assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $44,000 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 advisors 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 year ended December 31, 2013, these arrangements reduced the portfolio’s expenses by $8,000 (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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 396,107
Temporary Cash Investments 13,191 1,899
Futures Contracts—Assets1 38
Total 409,336 1,899
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P 500 Index March 2014 67 6,168 15
S&P 500 Index March 2014 9 4,142 162
E-mini S&P MidCap Index March 2014 6 804 19
        196

 

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

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 used capital loss carryforwards of $34,785,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended December 31, 2013, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $1,675,000 of ordinary income and $2,111,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $291,029,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $120,168,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $122,865,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,697,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

H. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $131,478,000 of investment securities and sold $139,304,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

I. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

   
  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 1,510 3,555
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 106 86
Redeemed (2,666) (2,675)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding (1,050) 966

 

 

 

At December 31, 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require 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 0.41%. 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® High Yield Bond Portfolio

The year ended December 31, 2013, was a stellar period for stocks but a disappointing time for investment-grade bonds, which suffered their first calendar-year loss in more than a decade (with a return of –2.02%, according to the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index). High-yield corporate bonds, which are rated by independent credit-rating agencies as below investment grade, took more of a middle road: The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, the portfolio’s benchmark index, returned 7.44%.

In this environment, Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio returned 4.35%, trailing its benchmark index because of the portfolio’s focus on the higher-credit-quality segment of its market. Bonds rated B (which returned about 7%) and Ba (5%) trailed lower-rated Caa bonds (14%). The portfolio’s small holdings of cash reserves also whittled away at returns because of their lower yields. The portfolio’s peer group, whose members generally allocate a larger portion of their portfolios to lower-credit-quality bonds, had an average return of 6.55%.

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.

A year of credit stability amid rising interest rates

As you know, high-yield bonds offer potentially higher returns than investment-grade bonds because of their greater credit risk. From this point of view, the market has been relatively stable. According to Moody’s Investors Service, the default rate of high-yield bonds was about 2% in 2013, well below the long-term average.

The year was also characterized by rising interest rates, which have an impact on bonds of all stripes because interest rates and bond prices move in opposite directions. The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield climbed as high as 4.84% during the summer, as many investors sold bonds, driving prices lower, in reaction to suggestions by the Federal Reserve that it might scale back its massive bond-buying

The figures shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. (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.

program. Nevertheless, the portfolio’s SEC yield ended the year near where it began, at 4.19% as of December 31, 2013.

For the portfolio, the income from bond interest payments more than offset any declines in bond prices. (By contrast, price declines overwhelmed interest income for investment-grade bonds.) Moreover, the higher coupon payments of high-yield bonds tend to make their prices less sensitive to changes in interest rates than is the case for investment-grade bonds. There are, of course, varying degrees of credit quality even among high-yield bonds. Because of their greater relative risk, Caa bonds offer higher coupon payments than the higher-quality bonds that the portfolio emphasizes, and Caa prices are less sensitive to the impact of rising interest rates.

A conservative approach affected long-term results

For the ten years ended December 31, 2013, the High Yield Bond Portfolio posted an average annual return of 6.67%, marginally ahead of its peers (6.47%) but behind its benchmark index (8.62%). The difference in results reflects the higher-credit-quality orientation of the portfolio during a decade that included a number of years when demand was high for the riskiest high-yield bonds.

Diversification is critical for changing times

The uncertainties that confronted investors in 2013 underscore the wisdom of one of the fundamentals of prudent investing: the need to develop an investment plan that is diversified among, and within, asset classes. Moreover, your plan should be focused on the long term precisely because short-term events can be so difficult to predict. Coupled with low investment costs, which can allow you to garner more of the portfolio’s returns, these principles may help to increase your chance of long-term investment success.

In 2013, the portfolio returned 4.35%, compared with the benchmark return of 7.44%. The performance of the high-yield market was driven by two contrasting factors. The Federal Reserve first hinted at a reduction in the pace of its asset purchases in May, and then in December announced that it would actually start the “tapering” process in January. This caused the 10-year Treasury yield to rise to 2.97% (it started the year at 1.76%), and this weighed on bond prices (which move inversely to interest rates). At the same time, the steadily (if slowly) improving economy helped high-yield bond issuers, tightening credit spreads over the year and offsetting the effects of rising interest rates.

Lower-quality bonds significantly outperformed higher-quality bonds. Lower-quality bonds, which typically carry greater coupons than higher-quality bonds, earned more income during the period, and this offset the downward price pressure created by rising rates. The spread of the high-yield market (a comparison of the yields of high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds) narrowed from 511 basis points at the beginning of the year to 382 basis points as of December 31, 2013.

Credit fundamentals across the high-yield market remain generally positive. 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, and the portion of the high-yield market comprising bonds rated Caa and below remains below 20%. These two measures confirm that the underlying credit quality of the market is still strong. Likewise, the 12-month default rate was 2.2% as of December, according to Moody’s Investors Service, which forecasts

a similar default rate for 2014. This remains well below the long-term average. By and large, high-yield issuers enjoy healthy credit profiles, having maintained solid gross margins and interest coverage ratios in 2013. We believe most high-yield companies will be able to sustain these profiles in 2014 amid continued growth in the nation’s gross domestic product.

The new-issue calendar has continued to be robust, with $325.4 billion raised in the U.S. high-yield markets in 2013, similar to the record level reached in 2012. Issuance remains generally high quality, with more than 80% of new issue proceeds rated B or better, and the majority of gross proceeds earmarked for refinancing purposes, a creditor-friendly trend that has been solidly in place since 2009. Issuers generally continue to exercise restraint in their borrowing behavior. However, at the margin, we have begun to see an increase in somewhat more aggressive shareholder-friendly activity. This trend is still in the early stages, and we do not expect it to meaningfully affect markets for some time.

The portfolio’s successes

The portfolio benefited from its relative weightings in the technology sector compared with the benchmark, as well as credit selection in the wireless and utilities sectors.

The portfolio’s shortfalls

The portfolio’s holdings in cash and in higher-quality, more rate-sensitive bonds hurt relative performance, as did its longer duration positioning. Performance also suffered because of relative weightings in the cable and metals/mining sectors and credit selection in the financial and media sectors.

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 prefer 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, and continue to deemphasize non-cash-paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity-linked securities, such as convertibles, because of 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. 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. Forward Currency Contracts: The portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The portfolio’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The 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 counterparties 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.

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 forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

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, 2010–2013), 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. 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 year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $57,000 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. 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 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 1,388
Corporate Bonds 468,658
Preferred Stocks 10,455
Other 4
Temporary Cash Investments 27,700
Forward Currency Contract—Liabilities (8)
Total 508,193 4

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

At December 31, 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.

          Unrealized  
        Appreciation  
        Contract Amount (000) (Depreciation)
Counterparty Contract Settlement Date   Receive   Deliver ($000)
CSAG 1/22/14 USD 4,525 EUR 3,295 (8)
CSAG—Credit Suisse Securities.          
EUR—Euro.            

 

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.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency gains of $1,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $28,655,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The portfolio used capital loss carryforwards of $6,969,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $8,770,000 to offset future net capital gains. Of this amount, $8,568,000 is subject to expiration on December 31, 2017. Capital losses of $202,000 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.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $487,057,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $21,148,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $24,591,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,443,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $179,761,000 of investment securities and sold $190,784,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:    
  Year Ended December 31
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 12,529 20,277
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 3,679 3,269
Redeemed (20,020) (9,426)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding (3,812) 14,120

 

At December 31, 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 64% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

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 1,023.74 1.48

 

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® International Portfolio

International stocks in 2013 produced less than half the return of the broad U.S. market, whose commanding lead in the first six months extended through year-end. Vanguard International Portfolio, however, distinguished itself with a return of 23.26%—well ahead of its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, and outpacing the average return of its peers.

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 returns far and wide, even in emerging markets

The portfolio’s gains reached far and wide, helping it outperform its benchmark index in the developed regions. In Europe, which constituted more than one-half of the portfolio’s assets, some larger-market returns approached 30%; Italy, despite its troubled economy, gained almost 60%. The euro’s modest strengthening versus the U.S. dollar enhanced returns for dollar-based investors.

In the developed Pacific Rim, Japan’s pro-growth, weaker-yen policies sparked an economic revival that helped its stock market return more than 27% for dollar-based investors (about twice that level when valued in yen). The portfolio’s Japan holdings had an exceptional return approaching 50%.

In emerging markets—major beneficiaries of the Federal Reserve’s easy money policies—the prospect of the Fed’s tapering its bond purchases (as it ultimately announced in December) had a chilling effect, leading to broad declines. Nonetheless, the portfolio’s emerging-market holdings notched a double-digit gain.

Among industry sectors, all but one advanced; only health care holdings lagged those in the benchmark.

When traveling a long, bumpy road, be sure to pack some patience

The portfolio’s ten-year average annual return was 9.19%, surpassing the results of its comparative standards over a challenging decade marked by the global Great Recession.

Over time, even a small degree of outperformance can meaningfully affect a portfolio’s value. That’s why many investors remain drawn to active management’s opportunity for market-beating returns—despite considerable research showing that only a minority of active managers outperform their benchmarks.

Because past performance is no guarantee of future results, trying to identify potential winning managers using the common gauge of historical returns often leads to disappointment.

Long-term active outperformance is uncommon in large part because of active management’s typically higher expenses. Impatience can also lead investors to end up with less than they’d hoped for over the long run. Even the best market-beating managers can’t avoid short-term periods of underperformance. An investor who is unwilling to endure some lean years could unwisely abandon a talented manager and miss out on long-term rewards.

(You can read more in The Bumpy Road to Outperformance, available at vanguard.com/research.)

That’s why we recommend paying attention to costs and taking a patient, long-term view. Vanguard offers access to world-class active managers at costs well below industry averages, to try to give investors the best chance for success.

Advisors’ Report

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, the International Portfolio returned 23.26%, surpassing the 15.29% return of its benchmark index and the 20.42% 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 2013 and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on January 16, 2014.

Nearly five years into a recovery from the
lows of early 2009, international equity
markets have finally rediscovered some

genuine optimism, undergoing a notable shift in preference in the second half of 2013 from defensive stocks toward those with more substantial but less predictable growth prospects. We view this sea change in sentiment as a delayed response to the considerable progress made since the global financial crisis at both the macroeconomic and corporate levels.

The broadening of the U.S. recovery, resumption of growth in Southern Europe, and ambitious reform proposals from China’s Third Plenum and Japan’s “Abenomics” are all encouraging signs for sustainable global growth.

Some of our technology holdings rose notably in 2013. Internet companies such as Baidu, Tencent, and NAVER performed well, reflecting their considerable progress in monetizing mobile users. The internet’s expanding worldwide reach through smartphones and tablets is also driving growth in e-commerce. This benefits our holdings in Amazon, Japanese e-mall operator Rakuten, and Japanese telecom company SoftBank, which has a significant stake in Alibaba, the dominant Chinese e-commerce platform. These gains more than offset weakness in emerging-market holdings exposed to possible effects of the Federal Reserve’s tapering of bond purchases, such as Turkish bank Garanti Bankasi and Brazilian stock exchange BM&FBovespa.

It was a very strong year for equity returns, and our portion of the portfolio was well-positioned for success. Most sectors and regions added to results, particularly some of our largest core holdings. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group performed very well as Japan’s new economic policies supported better loan growth and the firm’s Asian corporate lending business added market share. Automaker Daimler also gained, as new initiatives in its Mercedes-Benz division improved pricing power and profit margins.

Our performance in the Pacific region was weak, driven by holdings in Newcrest Mining and Atlas Iron. The strong Australian dollar has undermined the cost profile for these mining businesses, forcing us to review our investment case; we sold both in favor of stocks we feel have better potential.

In general, emerging markets underperformed for the year, with the weakness concentrated in countries needing external financing (such as Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, and India). We retained

our holdings with exposure to Indonesia (Jardine Matheson, Bank Mandiri) and Thailand (Kasikornbank), as we believe these are strong businesses that will create shareholder value. We view their recent slump as an opportunity to build exposure to good companies in this part of the world.

Our holdings in India generally performed well despite a slowing economic cycle. The country’s mobile phone business still has room to expand its market penetration (a rarity these days), and a more stable regulatory environment has reduced competition. Idea Cellular has consistently invested in its business, and we expect its annual growth to top 20% for several years to come.

As we head into 2014, one of our strongest convictions is that capital investment in the developed world will rise. Steady improvement in confidence should encourage firms to deploy their balance sheets in search of organic growth, supporting a range of capital goods and industrial companies. With global expansion likely to increase in 2014, normalizing interest rates in some regions should also support a market preference for growth over income stocks, and we are positioned accordingly.

International equities performed well in 2013. The year began amid renewed investor confidence and culminated in multiyear highs for many markets as the United States averted its “fiscal cliff.” Markets grew volatile in May and June, when the prospective tapering of the Federal Reserve’s asset purchases led to widespread sell-offs.

The increasingly resilient markets shook off misgivings, though, and again rose strongly as investors became more willing to take on risk. Autumn brought new challenges, including tensions in Syria,

uncertainty in some emerging-market economies, and renewed political skirmishing in the United States amid concerns that the budget crisis might not be resolved before the debt ceiling was reached.

The Fed finally ended the speculation about its intentions in December, announcing that it would reduce its asset purchases by $10 billion per month starting in January 2014. This led to general equity market rallies, suggesting that investors perceived the taper as more benign than expected. As a result, international markets finished 2013 on a high.

For the year, the consumer discretionary, health care, and telecommunications sectors did best, and materials, energy, and utilities lagged. Overweight allocations to consumer discretionary and health care, as well as stock selection in those sectors, boosted relative performance.

Industrial stock picks were also beneficial, and European aerospace giant Airbus (formerly EADS) was the top performer. The company has continued to reap rewards and a bolstered share price from its excellent industry positioning, robust order book, and operational successes. It has also profited from a buyback of outstanding shares and a reorganization of its shareholder structure to reduce government ownership. At the end of 2013, confirmation of its 2014 targets further buoyed the stock. Other strong performers included two French companies, advertising agency Publicis and banking group Société Générale, and British automobile distributor Inchcape.

Conversely, an underweight to telecom companies and stock selection in information technology both dragged on returns. We sold our holdings in Germany’s Software AG as its legacy mainframe business declined more than anticipated and we grew concerned about the sustainability of growth in other parts of the business. Meanwhile, sustained negative sentiment in Brazil hurt the share prices of iron ore miner Vale—our portfolio’s most notable laggard for the

year—and oil company Petrobras. China’s Hang Lung Properties and Japanese camera and printer maker Canon were also weak.

As active stock-pickers, we continued to seek opportunities to selectively purchase companies with compelling scarce assets, structural growth drivers, and the potential for sustainably high returns as they became available at attractive valuations. These included Bank of Nova Scotia, international dialysis group Fresenius Medical Care, Korean firm Samsung Electronics, and precision instrument and control supplier Spectris. We also bought shares in Standard Chartered, a British bank that generates the majority of its revenues in Asia and Africa, and Samsonite, the Hong Kong-listed luggage specialist.

We sold other holdings when we felt that more attractively valued companies with better growth prospects were available. These included Software AG, Taiwanese PC manufacturer Compal Electronics, pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, and Australian global recycling group Sims Metal Management. We also sold our stock in Symrise, a German fragrance and flavor manufacturer. We still believe in the strength of the company, a longstanding holding that has performed well, but we felt we could find more attractively valued businesses.

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 may use 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. 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.

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 portfolio’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The 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 counterparties 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

123

 

Vanguard International Portfolio

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.

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.

During the year ended December 31, 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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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. 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. 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 year ended December 31, 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 $627,000 (0.03%) based on performance.

124

 

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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $250,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks—North and South America 153,517 31,119
Common Stocks—Other 102,523 1,875,849
Temporary Cash Investments 138,264 4,698
Futures Contracts—Assets1 812
Forward Currency Contracts—Assets 458
Forward Currency Contracts—Liabilities (430)
Total 395,116 1,911,694
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

Securities in certain countries may transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 due to differences in stock market closure times that may result from transitions between standard and daylight saving time in those countries and the U.S. Securities valued at $31,119,000 on December 31, 2013, based on Level 2 inputs were transferred from Level 1 during the fiscal year.

E. At December 31, 2013, the fair values of derivatives were reflected in the Statement of Net Assets as follows:

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

At December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio realized net foreign currency losses of $114,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses 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. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $117,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $31,804,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The portfolio used capital loss carryforwards of $62,906,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $71,226,000 to offset future net capital gains through December 31, 2017.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,730,615,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $575,355,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $645,942,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $70,587,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $500,662,000 of investment securities and sold $417,575,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

At December 31, 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 39% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of International Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and broker and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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® Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

U.S. stock markets enjoyed a mostly unbridled rise in 2013, and small- and mid-capitalization equities were the leaders of this procession. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio returned 34.93%, a result in line with the return of its target index and slightly ahead of the average return of peer funds.

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.

In 2013, smaller stocks did best as all sectors performed impressively

Mid- and small-cap stocks were among the top performers as the broad U.S. market staged its best showing in 18 years. Smaller companies generate more of their revenues and profits within the United States than larger, multinational firms do. That means small- and mid-caps are at an advantage when U.S. stocks trump their international counterparts and the U.S. economy is generally growing faster than those in other parts of the world.

While nearly every mid-cap sector returned 20% or more, the consumer services sector supplied especially robust returns, rising more than 50%. An assortment of retailers and travel and leisure companies benefited as consumers gained the confidence to spend more freely and media companies profited from an increase in advertising revenue.

Industrial stocks delivered the next-largest boost to returns. Various types of business-support companies, machinery and construction firms, and airlines thrived as corporate budgets grew and business expansion accelerated. Aerospace and defense companies also did well, despite the government’s temporary shutdown and the U.S. military’s ongoing withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Financial stocks also produced strong results. Banks trimmed expenses and added capital, financial services firms received a lift from the improved investing climate, and insurance companies were helped by their rising investment portfolios and a drop in claims.

The portfolio sustained its lead over mid-cap core peers

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio generated an average annual return of 10.01% over the past decade. The portfolio met its objective of closely tracking its benchmark index and exceeded the average returns of its peers by nearly a full percentage point.

The close index tracking is all the more impressive when you remember that those ten years included the financial crisis and global recession of 2008–2009, which sent markets reeling. Vanguard Equity Investment Group, the portfolio’s advisor, deserves credit for its success in tracking the benchmark. The advisor was helped by the portfolio’s low expenses, which are far below the average for its peer group.

Rebalancing your investments keeps your target in focus

No matter what the current market conditions, we encourage you to maintain a diversified investment portfolio with a mix of stock, bond, and money market funds consistent with your long-term goals and risk tolerance. Following such a robust year for stocks and weak results for bonds, you may find that your asset mix has drifted from your original target. If your allocation is off-target by about 5 percentage points or more, it may be time to rebalance by directing assets from equities to fixed income.

Ultimately, rebalancing is about controlling risk by keeping your investments in line with your target asset allocation. The alternative is to allow market fluctuations to set your asset mix, potentially leaving you with an overall portfolio that’s more risky than you intended. As Vanguard has long counseled clients, focusing on what you can control is one of the most prudent steps you can take as an investor.

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.

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 may use 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 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

137

 

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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. 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $128,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,169,400
Temporary Cash Investments 9,040 600
Futures Contracts—Assets1 33
Total 1,178,473 600
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P MidCap 400 Index March 2014 17 2,277 52

 

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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $28,321,000 of ordinary income and $28,746,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $888,789,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $290,251,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $317,083,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $26,832,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $412,502,000 of investment securities and sold $346,441,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

At December 31, 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Mid-Cap Index Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mid-Cap Index Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and broker and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Vanguard Mid-Cap 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.

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® Moderate Allocation Portfolio

While it was a banner year for U.S. stocks and a strong year for their international counterparts, bonds had a tough year. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Moderate Allocation Portfolio returned 15.02%, a result that was in line with the return of its composite benchmark index and nearly a percentage point ahead of the average return of peer funds.

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards over the past year. For additional perspective, we also present their annualized returns since inception. 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.

Stocks posted strong gains for 2013, while bond returns were negative

The Moderate Allocation Portfolio, as a “fund of funds,” seeks to capture the returns of its benchmark by investing in

a combination of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund (VVIF) portfolios and Vanguard index funds. Although the exact percentages may vary, the portfolio targets an asset allocation of approximately 60% stocks and 40% bonds through the following holdings: VVIF Equity Index Portfolio (34%), VVIF Total Bond Market Index Portfolio (32%), Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (18%), Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund (8%), and Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund (8%).

As U.S. stocks turned in their best calendar year since the mid-1990s, the Equity Index Portfolio, which holds larger-company stocks, returned about 32%. The Extended Market Index Fund, holding mid- and small-capitalization stocks, returned about 38%. Abroad, stock markets rose smartly in aggregate but still trailed U.S. stocks considerably, with Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund returning about 15%.

The figures shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. (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.

In the U.S. market, financials had a notable impact, with gains coming from diversified financial services giants, insurance firms, commercial banks, asset managers, and consumer finance companies. Consumer-related stocks were also strong performers.

The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio, which has significant holdings in U.S. government bonds and in corporate bonds, returned –2.29% as the broad U.S. taxable bond market posted its first calendar-year loss in more than a decade. Concerns about the Federal Reserve’s plans to reduce its massive stimulative bond-buying program contributed to a sharp rise in bond yields along with price declines.

As we noted in our report six months ago, we increased diversification within the Moderate Allocation Portfolio in midyear by adding an 8% allocation to Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund. The fund’s return was essentially flat during the time it was included in the portfolio.

A balanced, diversified approach is wise in up and down markets alike

At Vanguard, we always counsel investors to avoid chasing high returns or overreacting to unusual losses. It’s a point worth keeping in mind in view of the robust returns and negative results turned in by stocks and bonds respectively in 2013.

We encourage our clients instead to maintain a balanced and diversified investment program—an approach exemplified by the Moderate Allocation Portfolio.

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.

(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, 2011–2013), 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.

147

 

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 year ended December 31, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).

At December 31, 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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $2,377,000 of ordinary income and $2,292,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $122,492,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,885,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $12,802,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,917,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $80,605,000 of investment securities and sold $20,938,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:    
  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 2,965 2,383
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 69 4
Redeemed (623) (247)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 2,411 2,140

 

G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Moderate Allocation Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Moderate Allocation Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

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 recent 12-month period.

Vanguard® Money Market Portfolio

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio had a return of 0.11% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, compared with the benchmark index return of 0.05% and the peer-group average return of –0.02%. On December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s 7-day SEC yield was 0.10%, compared with 0.14% a year earlier. The portfolio maintained a net asset value of $1 per share during the period, as is expected but not guaranteed.

The portfolio’s return and yield have been constrained by the Federal Reserve’s policy of seeking to stimulate the economy by keeping short-term interest rates historically low. The Fed’s target interest rate has been set between 0% and 0.25% for five years. At its December monetary policy meeting, the Fed stated that it would not raise short-term interest rates until the unemployment rate declines “well past” 6.5%. (The jobless rate stood at 6.7% in December.)

Please note that the portfolio returns and yield of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund—Money Market Portfolio are different from those in Vanguard Variable

Annuity (and other plans that invest in the portfolio), which take into account insurance-related expenses. Accordingly, given the low rate environment, it is possible that while the portfolio maintains a $1 net asset value, the value of that dollar could decrease if you hold shares of the portfolio indirectly through either Vanguard Variable Annuity or one of the other plans that invest in the portfolio.

The advisor has made selective investments in Europe

The Money Market Portfolio seeks to deliver safety, liquidity, and yield, in that order. To do so, the portfolio takes a conservative stance—investing only in money market securities that are rated in one of the two highest credit-quality categories (as determined by nationally recognized credit-rating services). Ultimately, the decision of which government, corporate, or bank securities to purchase is based on the portfolio advisor’s independent analysis of the financial strength of issuers.

Because financial strength knows no boundaries, the portfolio’s investments extend beyond the United States and

include securities issued by banks in Canada and Australia. The advisor had previously eliminated direct exposure to European banks and governments. Although the region continues to face economic challenges, some improvements are occurring, aided by the expansionary policies of the European Central Bank. Because of this, in the fall, the advisor began highly selective purchases of U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit issued by European banks. These investments are predominantly CDs issued by banking institutions in the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

A ten-year review of results shows the portfolio performing well

Over the decade ended December 31, 2013, the 1.86% average annual return of the Money Market Portfolio exceeded that of its benchmark index (1.58%) and peer group (1.50%). The portfolio’s results reflect the skill of the advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, over periods of both economic growth and turbulence, especially the financial crisis. The ten-year results also reflect the higher interest rates in effect before the Federal Reserve tacked down short-term interest rates.

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 December 31, 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral. The portfolio had no open repurchase agreements at December 31, 2013.

Vanguard Money Market 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, 2010–2013), 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $147,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.06% 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 portfiolio’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 year ended December 31, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $1,166,000 (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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 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 62% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Money Market Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Money Market Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2013      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Money Market Portfolio 6/30/2013 12/31/2013 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,000.48 $0.30
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.90 0.31

 

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 $0.81 and $0.82, respectively.

Vanguard® REIT Index Portfolio

Compared with the booming U.S. stock market, real estate investment trusts significantly underperformed as investors worried about the impact of rising interest rates on REITs. Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio returned 2.33% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The portfolio’s return was in line with that of its target index and ahead of the average return of competing real estate funds. The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards for 2013 and their annualized returns for the past ten years.

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 stumbled as interest rates rose smartly during the year

After falling for several years, bond yields rose noticeably in 2013. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note ended 2013 at 2.97%, up from 1.76% 12 months

earlier. The rise in interest rates caused REITs to reverse course in the spring and slowly sink during the last three quarters of the year.

Rising rates can hurt REITs in several ways. These companies are required to pay out at least 90% of their income as dividends to their investors. Consequently, REITs rely heavily on the markets to raise cash to finance growth. But rising rates make capital more expensive, cutting into REITs’ profit margins. REITs’ dividends also face more competition from other income-generating investments, including bonds—which typically carry less risk than REITs do—when those assets are offering higher yields.

Still, some areas of the real estate market did better than others. The relatively small category of diversified REITs, which include those that manage a variety of properties, returned 10%. The second-best performing group was industrial REITs, which returned about 7% as industrial companies benefited from the ramp-up in consumer and business spending.

The figures shown represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. (Current performance

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.

Hotels and storage facilities helped the largest segment of the REIT market, specialized REITs, to return 5%.

The one REIT sector that lost ground was residential, which returned –6%. Apartment REITs, particularly student housing, were squeezed by their longer-term leases, which keep their yields from rising as fast as those of other REITs.

Despite their tepid 2013, REITs have performed well over a decade

The REIT Index Portfolio has recorded an average annual return of 8.33% over the past decade, keeping pace with its benchmark and outperforming its peer-group average. Although REITs were hit hard during the subprime mortgage crisis and suffered significant declines in 2007 and 2008, they have outperformed the broad U.S. stock market in seven of the past ten years.

The portfolio’s close index tracking is impressive in light of the periodic volatility that hit stock markets during the financial crisis and its aftermath. Vanguard Equity Investment Group, the portfolio’s advisor, deserves credit for its success in tracking the benchmark. The advisor was helped by the portfolio’s low expenses, which are far below the average for its peer group.

Sector-specific investments often perform differently than the market

The past year again showed us that sector-specific funds such as Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio can be more sensitive to economic trends than funds with greater diversification tend to be.

In fact, REITs’ underperformance compared with the broad U.S. stock market in 2013 was the widest since the 1990s. The result was a fresh reminder that REITs may serve best as supplemental holdings in an otherwise balanced and diversified investment program.

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.

2 Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Float Adjusted 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 REIT Index Portfolio

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 income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2010–2013), 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. 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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.

5. 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $73,000 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.

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

At December 31, 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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $18,227,000 of ordinary income and $39,539,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $702,462,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $45,922,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $49,485,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $95,407,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $149,793,000 of investment securities and sold $127,727,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Redeemed (12,147) (6,179)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 2,018 5,817

 

At December 31, 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 59% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require 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.

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

While domestic stocks enjoyed a banner year in 2013 as investors became more confident about the health of the economy, the broad U.S. taxable bond market posted its first calendar-year loss in more than a decade. Concern about when and how sharply the Federal Reserve might begin to reduce its massive bond-buying program contributed to a steep rise in yields, especially for higher-rated and longer-dated securities.

The Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio consequently fared better than the overall bond market, with a return of 1.08% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013. The portfolio came close to matching its expense-free benchmark’s return of 1.24% and was well ahead of the average return for its peer group of 0.03%.

Because bond yields rise as prices fall, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield climbed to 1.54% on December 31, up from 1.14% a year earlier.

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 eyes on the Federal Reserve

Throughout 2013, the Federal Reserve bought about $40 billion per month of mortgage bonds to support the housing market and about $45 billion per month of U.S. Treasuries to hold borrowing costs down for households and businesses. Given the magnitude of this support, it was not surprising that the bond market swooned in the spring when Fed officials signaled that further improvements in the housing and labor markets might warrant a “tapering” of its purchases. The suspense over when the Fed might act ended in December, when it announced that it would gradually cut back its purchases beginning in January 2014.

Even in this environment of rising yields, the portfolio was able to produce its positive return for the period, as bonds at the shorter end of the maturity spectrum were affected less than the overall bond market. The portfolio’s shorter duration helped its performance compared with that of its benchmark (duration is a

measure of a portfolio’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates). So, too, did its holdings in bonds issued by financial institutions. As they did in 2012, these bonds outperformed their industrial and utility counterparts as investor sentiment regarding the financial sector continued to rebound.

Some of the portfolio’s allocation to bonds not included in the benchmark index detracted from relative performance. Among them were Treasuries that were present for liquidity purposes and asset-backed securities that were there to provide broader diversification.

A better perspective on performance through a longer-term lens

Thankfully for bond investors, returns have not always been so low. Even including this year’s poor result, the portfolio had an average annual return of 3.75% for the ten years ended December 31, 2013. While the portfolio lagged its benchmark (4.15%) over that period, it handily outpaced its peers (2.67%).

Rebalancing is key in good markets and in bad

The muted outlook for bonds admittedly makes it hard to contemplate selling stocks, which performed so well in 2013, to add more fixed income exposure to your investment portfolio. However, we believe that bonds can continue to play a valuable role in helping to smooth out stocks’ volatility. And keep in mind that without rebalancing, you could end up with a portfolio that’s very different—and potentially more risky—than you had intended.

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.

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.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

2. Futures and Options: The portfolio may use 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 6% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at 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 year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

3. Swaptions: The portfolio may enter into swaptions to adjust the portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rates. The portfolio may purchase a swaption from a counterparty whereby the portfolio has the right to enter into an interest rate swap in which the portfolio will pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, each applied to a notional amount. The portfolio may also sell a swaption to a counterparty whereby the portfolio grants the counterparty the right to enter into an interest rate swap in which the portfolio will pay a floating rate and receive a fixed rate, each applied to a notional amount.

Swaptions are valued based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. The premium paid for a purchased swaption is recorded as an asset in the Statement of Net Assets and is subsequently adjusted daily based on the current market value of the swaption. The premium received for a written swaption is recorded as an asset with an equal liability in the Statement of Net Assets and is subsequently adjusted daily based on the current market value of the swaption. Fluctuations in the value of swaptions are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

The primary risk associated with purchasing swaptions is that interest rates move in such a way that the swaption is out-of-the money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the portfolio loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling swaptions is that interest rates move in such a way that the swaption is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the swaption and the resulting interest rate swap results in a negative cash-flow to the portfolio in an amount greater than the premium received. A risk associated with all types of swaptions is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligations under the swaption contract. The portfolio’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swaption contract. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by only entering into swaptions 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

198

 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio may terminate any swaption 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 swaption 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 swaption 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 year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s average value of swaptions purchased and swaptions written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market 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 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

199

 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

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 to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the portfolio’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. 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.

During the year ended December 31, 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.

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, 2010–2013), 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. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $127,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to
determine the fair value of investments).

At December 31, 2013, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $200,000 in connection with open swap contracts. In the event of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, the portfolio may sell or retain the securities, however such action may be subject to legal proceedings.

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.

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 $62,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $19,939,000 of ordinary income and $4,857,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,112,465,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,509,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $11,198,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $7,689,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $533,875,000 of investment securities and sold $483,141,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $658,135,000 and $655,154,000, respectively.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 1,024.20 1.02

 

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® Small Company Growth Portfolio

Small-company growth stocks were one of the market’s sweet spots in 2013. Building on this favorable trend, Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio returned an exceptional 46.54%. This placed it several steps ahead of its comparative standards and ranked as its second-highest annual return since inception.

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.

Some expected, and unexpected, industry groups performed well

The information technology and health care sectors, traditionally fertile hunting ground for growth stocks, helped propel results. Together, these industry groups accounted for about half the market value of the portfolio’s assets and contributed even more of its return. Consumer staples companies, a relatively small stake not often associated with growth-stock investing, notched the second-highest sector return, behind health care—both exceeded 65%.

The advisors’ overweighting of health care and technology holdings was rewarded with returns that were significantly higher than those of their benchmark counterparts. The relatively small materials sector also provided a helpful boost, but consumer discretionary holdings lagged a bit.

For more on the portfolio’s strategy and positioning, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows. Also, Vanguard expresses its appreciation to John Granahan, co-founder and chairman of Granahan Investment Management and a manager of the Small Company Growth Portfolio since its inception. Jack remains chairman of the firm, but at year-end he handed off portfolio management responsibilities to his longtime co-managers.

Through a challenging decade, the portfolio proved competitive

Over a decade punctuated by periods of major volatility, including the trauma of the 2008–2009 financial crisis, Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio outperformed its comparative standards with an average annual return of 10.25%. Small-company growth stocks rotated in and out of favor

during the last ten years, but the portfolio has been skillfully guided by its experienced advisors.

Combining diversity of thought with low costs brings benefits

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 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 our offerings. And Vanguard research indicates that low costs contribute greatly to investing success, helping investors keep more of a portfolio’s return.

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

The Small Company Growth Portfolio returned 46.54% in 2013, outpacing both the 40.65% return of its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, and the 41.94% 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 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 January 13, 2014.

special situation (companies with growth potential overlooked by the market), and pioneer (companies with unique technology or innovations).

Stock selection in technology, health care, materials & processing, and financial services boosted relative results and offset weaker choices in the consumer, energy, and producer durables sectors. Performance was strong for all three life-cycle categories, but pioneer holdings in biotech and technology software did particularly well. The portfolio had five buyouts in the most recent quarter—four in health care and one in technology—and four of those were pioneers.

For the year, consumer stocks lagged the overall index. RealD suffered as 3D viewership dropped significantly in the second quarter. The business has since stabilized, but we sold some shares and will determine whether the poor results were merely short-term or mark a longer-term change in consumer behavior. Same-store sales slowed significantly for Francesca’s and Chico’s, sellers of women’s apparel—a particularly weak segment in 2013. We retain our investment in Francesca’s because its issues are easily fixable and its long-term

It was a great year for U.S. equity markets, and our portfolio was well-positioned to take advantage of this strength. The stock market climbed a wall of worries throughout 2013: slow economic growth, Washington gridlock, political unrest overseas, and questions surrounding the tapering of the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program. Driving stocks forward were the tremendous liquidity created by the Fed and the prospects for faster growth.

We continued our disciplined investment approach, including bottom-up fundamental research along with diversification by industry sector and company life cycle to mitigate risk. Our life-cycle categories are core growth (stocks of established companies with a record of earnings),

growth potential is greater, but we sold our stock in Chico’s. An underweight allocation to energy benefited the portfolio, but poor stock selection in the sector hurt.

We have increased the weighting of special situation companies, rebalancing from the strong pioneer category. We have reduced some technology allocations, but successful selection increased this sector’s weighting relative to the benchmark (whose technology stocks underperformed the overall index in the fourth quarter). Based on bottom-up research, our portfolio will continue to overweight technology as well as consumer discretionary, resulting in underweights to the remaining sectors.

Our portfolio’s earnings growth is improving and its valuations are up as well, largely because of pioneers’ strong performance. We now see opportunities in the core growth and special situation categories; as we become more invested in those, our portfolio valuation is likely to come down.

The macroeconomic environment improved over the year. Unemployment declined from 7.8% to under 7%, annual GDP growth rose steadily to more than 3% in the third quarter, and inflation remains nascent. The Federal Reserve slowly began in January 2014 to taper its securities purchases because of the stronger economy. All this is good news for equities and should continue as long as the geopolitical backdrop remains stable, worldwide economic improvement persists, and inflation doesn’t ignite and force the Fed to raise interest rates sooner than expected.

Smaller-capitalization companies outperformed larger-caps by more than 5 percentage points in 2013. Growth-oriented small-caps, the focus of your investment, outgained value-oriented small firms by about 7 percentage points. Overall, U.S. equities delivered their largest calendar-year return since 1995, when the market was up more than 36%.

The past year was one of investor and economic optimism. GDP growth exceeded expectations, the housing market recovered strongly, unemployment fell further, and consumer confidence rose. However, such rapid, strong gains raise questions about whether the equity market has gotten a little ahead of itself.

The worldwide economic picture remains mixed. The United States continues to lead the recovery from the recession, but improvement is still slow, uneven, and well below post-World War II averages. With manufacturing, consumer confidence, and the housing market improved, the Federal Reserve announced it would start tapering its extraordinary quantitative easing program—even though the unemployment rate stayed north of 7% until late in the year—and interest rates rose. Elsewhere, Europe is holding steady, and recent weakness in China appears to be turning around.

Within the Small Company Growth universe, all ten sectors advanced. Consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and health care stocks led, and utilities and materials brought up the rear.

The results of the stock selection models we use to rank companies against their industry peers were mixed. Our growth, valuation, and sentiment models succeeded in identifying the top performers and helped results, but our quality model and, to a lesser extent, our management decisions model were ineffective and detracted.

Our stock selections were positive in seven sectors and negative in three. Choices in information technology, industrials, and consumer staples contributed the most to relative returns. In technology, overweight positions in SunPower, SunEdison, and Manhattan Associates did best. In industrials, Swift Transportation, EnerSys, and US Airways Group led, as did Rite Aid, Nu Skin Enterprises, and Pilgrim’s Pride in consumer staples. Stock selection in energy was a top detractor from relative performance. Results suffered most from an underweight position in Cheniere Energy, which gained more than 125%, and holdings of Alon USA Energy and VAALCO Energy, which disappointed.

We cannot predict how broad economic or political events will affect the markets. However, we are confident that the stock market will have worthwhile returns for long-term investors, and we believe that equity exposure will remain an important part of a diversified investment plan. We thank you for your investment and look forward to the new fiscal year.

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 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 may use 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. 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The portfolio invests cash collateral received

218

 

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

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. 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. 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 for periods prior to October 1, 2013, and to the new benchmark, Russell 2000 Growth Index, beginning October 1, 2013. The benchmark change will be fully phased in by September 2016.

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 $275,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.14% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before an increase of $65,000 (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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $154,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.06% 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities,
interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,326,845
Temporary Cash Investments 90,865 2,399
Futures Contracts—Assets1 162
Total 1,417,872 2,399
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index March 2014 355 41,230 1,528

 

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

219

 

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $63,487,000 of ordinary income and $116,203,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,087,687,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $332,422,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $380,288,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $47,866,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $717,024,000 of investment securities and sold $686,437,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:    
  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 9,456 5,446
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 4,283 1,006
Redeemed (6,782) (7,770)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 6,957 (1,318)

 

At December 31, 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 50% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require 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® Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

While domestic stocks enjoyed a banner year in 2013 as investors became more confident about the health of the economy, the broad U.S. taxable bond market posted its first calendar-year loss in more than a decade. Concern about when and how sharply the Federal Reserve might begin to reduce its massive bond-buying program contributed to a steep rise in bond yields, especially for higher-rated and longer-dated securities.

The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned –2.29% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013. That performance came close to matching its expense-free benchmark’s return of –1.97%, but lagged the average return of –1.77% for its peer group, which includes actively managed funds.

Because bond yields rise as prices fall, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield climbed to 2.07% on December 31, up from 1.50% a year earlier.

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 eyes on the Federal Reserve

Throughout 2013, the Federal Reserve bought about $40 billion per month of mortgage bonds to support the housing market and about $45 billion per month of U.S. Treasuries to hold borrowing costs down for households and businesses. Given the magnitude of this support, it was not surprising that the bond market swooned in the spring when Fed officials signaled that further improvements in the housing and labor markets might warrant a “tapering” of its purchases. The suspense over when the Fed might act ended in December, when it announced that it would gradually cut back its purchases starting in January 2014.

The prospect of a more solid footing for the economy and less accommodation from the Fed affected Treasuries the most. The yield of the 3-year Treasury note climbed 40 basis points over the year to 0.76%, while the 10-year yield jumped 121 basis points to 2.97%. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) The resulting decline in prices put

the return for these securities, which made up more than one-third of the portfolio’s assets, at –2.75% for the 12-month period.

The higher yields generally available from bonds outside of Treasuries meant those securities produced more income to help counter price declines. Government mortgage-backed securities, another heavyweight sector in the portfolio, had yields higher than comparable Treasuries primarily because they carry the additional risk of prepayment. They returned –1.41% for the year.

Corporate bonds as a whole also outpaced Treasuries with a return of –1.53%, but performance varied significantly by issuer. Bonds of financial institutions produced a return of 0.93% as investor sentiment toward this sector continued to improve, while industrials (–2.62%) and utilities (–3.19%) turned in weaker results.

A better perspective on performance through a longer-term lens

Thankfully for bond investors, returns have not always been so low. Even including this year’s poor result, the portfolio had an annual average return of 4.46% for the ten years ended December 31, 2013. A low expense ratio helped the portfolio fulfill its mission of closely tracking its benchmark (4.57%); the portfolio also outpaced its peers (3.98%).

Rebalancing is key in good markets and in bad

The muted outlook for bonds admittedly makes it hard to contemplate selling stocks, which performed so well in 2013, to add more fixed income exposure to your investment portfolio. However, we believe that bonds can continue to play a valuable role in helping to smooth out stocks’ volatility. And keep in mind that without rebalancing, you could end up with a portfolio that’s very different—and potentially more risky—than you had intended.

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 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.

262

 

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, 2010–2013), 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $260,000 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.

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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

263

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of December 31, 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 1,526,103
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 61,734
Corporate Bonds 557,194
Sovereign Bonds 126,570
Taxable Municipal Bonds 22,307
Temporary Cash Investments 125,262
Total 125,262 2,293,908

 

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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $56,775,000 of ordinary income and $8,445,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,383,449,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $35,721,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $71,214,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $35,493,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $153,224,000 of investment securities and sold $154,686,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $2,430,918,000 and $2,658,512,000, respectively.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Year Ended December 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 24,044 31,466

Redeemed (49,447) (25,211)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding (17,609) 13,865

 

At December 31, 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 53% 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Total Bond Market Index Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets, the statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Total Bond Market Index Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Total Bond Market Index Portfolio 6/30/2013 12/31/2013 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.25 0.97

 

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 Stock Market Index Portfolio

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio returned 33.28%, a result that was in line with the return of its target index and several percentage points ahead of the average return of peer funds.

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards over the past year. For additional perspective, we also present their annualized returns for the past ten years.

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 with 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 industry sectors participated in a year-long, powerful rally

The broad U.S. stock market surged more than 33%—its best calendar-year result since 1995. The Equity Index Portfolio, which concentrates on large-cap stocks, returned about 32%, while the Extended Market Index Fund, which focuses on small- and mid-cap stocks, posted a higher result of about 38%.

Financial stocks had the greatest impact in the Total Stock Market Index Portfolio. Notable gains came from diversified financial services giants, insurance firms, commercial banks, asset managers, and consumer finance companies.

Consumer-related stocks were also among the strongest performers. With the labor market improving, inflation low, and home values rising, consumers were willing to spend more money on shopping, dining out, and entertainment. Media companies profited from an increase in advertising revenue.

Industrial stocks stood out largely because of the strength of major conglomerates, including some in the aerospace and defense industry, where technological improvements and cost management have helped counteract cuts in government spending.

The portfolio’s long-term record reflects expertise and low costs

Vanguard Total Stock Market Portfolio has generated an average annual return of 7.89% since its inception in January 2003. The portfolio met its objective of closely tracking its benchmark index, and it also exceeded the average annual returns of its peers by nearly a full percentage point.

The close index tracking is all the more impressive when you remember that those ten years included the financial crisis and global recession of 2008–2009, which sent markets reeling. Vanguard Equity Investment Group, the portfolio’s advisor, deserves credit for its success in tracking the benchmark. The advisor was helped by the portfolio’s low expenses, which are far below the average for its peer group.

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

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, 2010–2013), 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.

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

272

 

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the year ended December 31, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the portfolio’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At December 31, 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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $17,546,000 of ordinary income and $68,338,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,004,205,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $204,214,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $224,157,000 of investment securities and sold $185,061,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 4,963 3,394

Redeemed (4,807) (3,847)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 2,108 2,395

 

G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Total Stock Market Index Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Total Stock Market Index Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

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® Equity Index Portfolio

U.S. stocks led global markets in 2013 as investor confidence trumped political wrangling in Washington, a mixed economic picture, and fiscal policy uncertainty. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio returned 32.18%. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index and the average return of peer funds (both at 32.39%).

The table below shows the returns of your portfolio and its comparative standards for the year. For additional perspective, we also present their annualized returns for the past ten years.

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.

A broad spectrum of sectors produced an impressive result

In 2013, the stock market overcame many challenges to investors’ confidence. High on the list was uncertainty about

when the Federal Reserve would curtail its stimulative bond-buying program.

In addition, investors confronted the U.S. government shutdown, the failure of Cyprus’s banking system, and a sluggish global economy. Nonetheless, corporate profits impressed, and investors displayed growing confidence in the market.

Stocks of every size, style, and sector participated in the rally, which sent the return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index above 30%. This index, which the Equity Index Portfolio seeks to track, consists of 500 of the largest U.S. companies and accounts for more than three-quarters of the U.S. stock market’s value.

Each of the portfolio’s ten industry sectors recorded double-digit returns, but just five accounted for three-quarters of its gain: financials, health care, information technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials.

The financial sector, the portfolio’s second largest, returned nearly 36%. Notable gains came from diversified financial services giants, insurance firms, commercial banks, asset managers, and consumer finance companies.

can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost.

The health care, consumer discretionary, and industrial sectors each returned more than 40%. Major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies shined as pipelines for new medicines expanded. Within the consumer discretionary sector, media corporations and internet and specialty retailers reaped rewards from favorable trends among customers and in the broad economy.

Setting the pace in industrials were the aerospace and defense industries, where technological improvements and cost management have helped some companies offset cuts in government spending. Information technology, the portfolio’s largest sector, returned about 28% overall as software, internet, data processing services, and semiconductor stocks flourished. The consumer staples, energy, and materials sectors had returns of about 25%.

The portfolio sustained its lead over large-cap core peers

For the decade through December 2013, the Equity Index Portfolio recorded an average annual return of 7.31%. This result was in line with that of the portfolio’s target, the S&P 500 Index, which has no transaction costs or operating expenses.

The close index tracking is all the more impressive when you remember that those ten years included the financial crisis and global recession of 2008–2009, which sent markets reeling. Vanguard Equity Investment Group, the portfolio’s advisor, deserves credit for its success in tracking the benchmark.

The advisor was helped by the portfolio’s low expenses, which are far below the average for its peer group. Over the decade, the portfolio topped the 6.40% average annual return of its peers.

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 may use 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 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

284

illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the 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.

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).

During the year ended December 31, 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, 2010–2013), 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 prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the 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; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. 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. 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 December 31, 2013, the portfolio had contributed capital of $353,000 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 3,188,722

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

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

S&P 500 Index March 2014 11 5,063 195
        354

 

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.

For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had $57,620,000 of ordinary income and $58,488,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At December 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,427,934,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $774,067,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $962,102,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $188,035,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the portfolio purchased $268,085,000 of investment securities and sold $214,827,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Redeemed (14,485) (13,459)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,572 3,695

 

At December 31, 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to December 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds and the Shareholders of Equity Index Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Index Portfolio (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Portfolio”) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and broker and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 December 31, 2013

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

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.40 0.82

 

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.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.

The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 182 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
