Market Perspective

Dear Planholder,

Over the past six months, stock and bond returns were both productive. Stocks registered returns above their long-term averages, and bonds unexpectedly surged as yields dropped.

This report starts with a brief overview of the financial markets during the period, followed by performance reviews of the Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund portfolios. Each can be used as a

component in an investment program that includes a combination of stock, bond, and money market funds appropriate for your time horizon, risk tolerance, and long-term investment goals.

We believe that diversification, balance, and a long-term perspective are critical to successful investing, especially in periods of heightened economic uncertainty, when the impulse to overreact to headlines can be strong.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
July 15, 2014

After a slow start to the year, stocks began an upward climb

Although it began the period with a January decline, the broad U.S. stock market returned about 7% for the half year. The global economy continued to recover, and corporate earnings remained solid. Stocks were resilient, surging ahead after turmoil in Iraq and Ukraine.

Citing the U.S. economy’s progress, the Federal Reserve has trimmed its bond-buying program. But investors have been reassured by its decision to keep interest rates low for an extended period.

International stocks returned nearly 6%. Emerging markets were the top performers, followed by developed markets in Europe and then those in the Pacific region.

The period was strong for bonds as yields dropped and prices rose
Bond prices spent most of the six months regaining the ground they lost in 2013, and the broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 3.93%. The yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note ended June at 2.54%, down from almost 3% on December 31. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned 5.59%. In June, the European Central Bank lowered a key interest rate to –0.10% in an effort to avert deflation, induce banks to lend, and fuel economic growth.

Although the period was strong for bonds, the current low yields imply lower future returns. As yields drop, the scope for further declines—and increases in prices—diminishes.

Returns remained tiny for money market funds and savings accounts because of the Fed’s target of 0%–0.25% for short-term interest rates.

Vanguard® Balanced Portfolio

As stock prices climbed and bond returns were not far behind, Vanguard Balanced Portfolio returned 6.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This result was a bit better than the 6.33% return of the composite benchmark index and more than a percentage point ahead of the average return of peers. On June 30, the portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield stood at 2.04%, slightly below its starting level.

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.

Stocks led portfolio results with some help from bonds
The Balanced Portfolio’s stocks, about two-thirds of total assets, again drove its results. Investors looked beyond challenges such as the contraction of the U.S. economy in first-quarter 2014 to focus on positives. These included a lower unemployment rate, strong corporate earnings, and continued low borrowing costs. The advisor’s choices in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors helped the portfolio’s stocks outpace the 7.14% return of their S&P 500 Index equity benchmark.

Confounding expectations, bond prices also rose, even as the Federal Reserve scaled back its purchases. Heightened conflict in Ukraine and Iraq helped boost demand for “safe havens.” The portfolio’s fixed income holdings performed in line with its bond benchmark. The 4.71% return of the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index was its best June six-month return since 2010.

But investors shouldn’t expect the strong performance of bonds to continue, especially when current yields are so low.

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

Predicting the future is tricky, but preparing for it is prudent
Predictions are often made but rarely come true. In an interview with our newsletter In The Vanguard, University of Pennsylvania professor Philip Tetlock noted, “As a whole, experts [are] slightly more accurate than the proverbial dart-throwing chimpanzee.”

Dr. Tetlock’s extensive research found that it’s best to think in terms of probabilities and to avoid bold, specific declarations about the future. At Vanguard, we agree that forecasting the economy and capital markets should be leavened with modesty. Joe Davis, our chief economist, is fond of saying that we “treat the future with the humility it deserves.”

That’s why our economists don’t make the pinpoint projections that you’ll see elsewhere. Instead, using sophisticated statistical models, we provide a range and probability of potential outcomes—for example, the return of U.S. stocks. And we explain our rationale for such outcomes, allowing you to make better-informed decisions about risk and return.

Each January, our economists issue Vanguard’s Economic and Investment Outlook. They also update their perspectives periodically and address significant developments, such as changes in Federal Reserve policy. (You can read our most recent outlook at vanguard.com/research.)

Our forecasts acknowledge that no one can envision every scenario. And that underlines one of Vanguard’s core investment principles: Develop a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds. Having a balanced portfolio can help you get through unforeseen events and achieve your goals—even without a crystal ball.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The Balanced Portfolio returned 6.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This result was ahead of the 6.33% return of its blended benchmark (a mix of 65% large-capitalization stocks and 35% high-quality corporate bonds) and the 5.24% 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
Our view of the U.S. economy is more cautious than it was last year. For some time, we have been below consensus in our outlook for U.S. growth, and this appears to have been borne out. Interestingly, the stock market appears to like the slow-growth environment because it means the Federal Reserve’s accommodative monetary policy will persist and interest rates will remain low. After the weak –2.9% first-quarter GDP revision, which had a number of weather- and health care-related distortions, we believe the U.S. economy is poised for a stronger second half. Overall GDP growth for 2014 should be close to 2%, with 2.5% possible in 2015.

Even though the market is up, we have seen a bit of a rotation as some more defensive stocks have done better during weaker periods. This is perhaps not surprising, in light of the slow recovery. One relatively bright spot is the housing market, which is undergoing a gradual unwinding of past excesses. However, as we continue to experience a fairly dysfunctional political backdrop that is less constructive for the long-term economy, we still see risks on the horizon.

The high-quality corporate bond market also performed well, returning almost 5% as measured by the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index. Volatility was elevated during the first part of the period as the Fed’s discussion of tapering its asset purchases affected investor sentiment. The rise in interest rates over

the past year dampened residential real estate activity, reminding us of the fragility of this important sector of the U.S. economy. And severe weather in many parts of the country slowed economic activity and led to questions about growth. This led to a tempering of higher rate expectations and an ensuing decline in U.S. rates. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell, ending the period at 2.54%, compared with almost 3% at the beginning of 2014.

Our successes
During a strong period for stocks and given our relatively defensive orientation, we are pleased that the equity portion of the portfolio outperformed its benchmark through a favorable combination of security selection and sector allocation. (Stock selection is a more deliberate and explicit part of our process; equity sector allocation is a fallout of those company-specific decisions.)

Stock selection was particularly helpful in the consumer discretionary, health care, and materials sectors. An underweight to consumer discretionary and an overweight to health care were also positive.

Strong absolute contributors included Wells Fargo, Merck, Anadarko Petroleum, AstraZeneca, and Eli Lilly. Relative to the S&P 500, we benefited by not owning Amazon.com, which fell more than 18%.

Shares of Merck, a global pharmaceutical company, rose substantially as investor sentiment improved. The firm’s immuno-oncology program offers a potential multibillion-dollar market that could completely change the way cancer is treated. However, we believe the market still underestimates the growth potential of the current drug lineup and does not give enough credit for the sales that will be generated from the pipeline. We believe Merck is one of the most attractive large-cap pharmaceutical stocks, and it was our second-largest position as of June 30.

Shares of Anadarko Petroleum, an independent exploration and production company, surged after the firm settled its Tronox litigation for $5.15 billion, a much lower figure than many investors had feared. The quality of its underlying asset base and management’s execution capabilities stand out. In addition, Anadarko’s oil production is growing, its free cash flow is solid, and its shares are attractively priced.

AstraZeneca’s stock jumped after Pfizer confirmed it had attempted to renew merger negotiations and management’s 2017 revenue guidance was ahead of consensus estimates. We continue to hold shares.

The fixed income portion of the portfolio also outpaced its benchmark, driven by strong issuer selection across sectors. Choices among industrials helped most, particularly in the consumer noncyclical and communications industries.

Our shortfalls
In fixed income, our short-duration positioning hurt relative returns as yields fell. An underweight to credit spread detracted modestly when credit posted positive excess returns. An out-of-benchmark allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) pass-throughs also detracted from relative performance. Nonetheless, we expect to maintain a substantial out-of-benchmark allocation to MBS, which offer attractive risk-adjusted yields and better liquidity than corporate bonds.

Disappointments in the equity portfolio included weak stock selection in financials, industrials, and telecommunication services. An underweight to information technology also detracted.

Citigroup, General Electric, Bristol-Myers Squibb, eBay, and Prudential Financial hurt our absolute results, and an underweight position in Apple, a large component of the S&P 500 Index, held back relative returns.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

Although Citigroup passed the quantitative stress test in March, the Fed objected to its plan on a qualitative basis, sending the stock price lower. This was a disappointment; however, we do not believe the decision changes the value of the company materially, other than potentially increasing regulatory compliance expenses. We continue to own the stock.

Shares of Bristol-Myers Squibb fell after a study of one of its lung cancer combination treatments showed high toxicity rates. We feel the market overreacted to the news. We believe the company’s strong, diversified immuno-oncology pipeline could become a multibillion-dollar franchise. The company has an extensive patent estate.

Portfolio positioning
The equity portfolio remains overweighted in financials, particularly large-cap U.S. banks (including Wells Fargo and PNC Financial). The strengthening U.S. housing market should boost this group, and a rising interest rate environment should prove beneficial in the long term. We have also increased our exposure to insurance firms; many of these should also profit from rising rates. At the end of June, we maintained overweight positions in ACE and Prudential Financial.

We also have an overweight position in health care. We favor large-cap pharmaceuticals including Merck, Roche, and AstraZeneca. We believe their solid pipelines, underappreciated by investors, should be sufficient for a return to modest growth.

The portfolio remains underweighted in information technology and consumer staples stocks. Many consumer staples shares are at historically high valuations, and we are having a difficult time finding value. In IT, Apple and Google account for a significant portion of our underweight.

We continue to search diligently for attractively valued companies with strong operating characteristics and business fundamentals that 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, on the best stocks within those industries. We are positioned in companies that should benefit from global growth over time.

In the bond portion of the portfolio, we view interest rate risk as a greater threat than credit risk as the questions about the Fed’s tapering focus on its timing. Persistent government involvement makes outcomes difficult to predict; however, we are inclined to keep duration shorter relative to the benchmark. Over time, we expect interest rates to rise as the U.S. recovery strengthens and the prospects for reduced government involvement increase. Poor liquidity in the corporate bond market is another concern. We continue to maintain a buffer through exposure to Treasuries and to agency MBS, which we view as more liquid than corporate bonds.

Equity Investment Focus


Fixed Income Investment Focus


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

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

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

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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

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

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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 evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-

17


 

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

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

3. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 3% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Swap Contracts: The portfolio invests 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

18


 

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the portfolio. The portfolio’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the portfolio under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the portfolio’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the portfolio if the portfolio is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the portfolio has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average amounts of credit protection sold represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The portfolio had no open swap contracts at June 30, 2014.

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the portfolio is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The portfolio may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the portfolio under the master netting arrangements.

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.

7. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio enters 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.

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

8. Federal Income Taxes: The portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (December 31, 2010–2013), and for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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.

10. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the portfolio lends 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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

11. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

12. 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 Capital U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.06% of the portfolio’s average net assets before a decrease of $20,000 (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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $227,000 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,373,872 101,594
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 190,769

Vanguard Balanced 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. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio realized net foreign currency losses of $15,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,741,468,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $524,462,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $530,171,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,709,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $227,639,000 of investment securities and sold $206,722,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $221,434,000 and $186,594,000, respectively.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

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

Vanguard Balanced Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Capital Growth Portfolio

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio returned 9.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Bolstered by a still-rising stock market tide and a successful, long-standing commitment to technology and health care stocks, it remained comfortably 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.

Technology and health care stocks led strong results in most sectors
In a half year marked by double-digit gains in four of the portfolio’s eight industry groups, technology and health care stood out once again. Over the years, PRIMECAP Management Company, the portfolio’s advisor, has built outsized stakes in both sectors. They have provided fertile ground for the advisor’s patient, contrarian strategy of identifying growth stocks that appear underappreciated by the market.

Returns of about 12% in both sectors’ holdings, together representing more than 60% of assets on average, gave the portfolio much of its lead over its benchmark. Keep in mind that PRIMECAP’s investment strategy creates a portfolio that typically looks very different from its market benchmark. This can magnify both over- and underperformance—producing a notably favorable comparison in the current period.

The energy and industrial sectors also posted double-digit gains. In industrials, the portfolio outpaced the benchmark, whereas relatively light exposure to energy was a slight detractor.

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

The power of compounding can put time on your side
Although it’s important to know how your investments are doing, short-term performance isn’t what matters most. Don’t let a focus on recent results—whether rewarding or not—distract you from the long-term commitment you need to help achieve your goals.

To be sure, there are many aspects of investing success that you can’t control, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you invest, and that allows you to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings.

A simple example illustrates the benefits of the compounding that can potentially result from investing and then reinvesting your money over the long haul, putting time on your side. Suppose that you were able to put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year. (This is hypothetical; actual returns would likely be different and much less predictable.)

If you keep reinvesting the earnings (again, assuming a hypothetical return of 6% each year), after ten years your investment will have grown to almost $18,000. But if you are able to 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 Capital Growth Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio returned 9.88%. This result exceeded both the 7.14% return of the benchmark, the unmanaged S&P 500 Index, and the 5.44% average return of variable insurance multi-capitalization growth fund competitors. Favorable stock selection in the portfolio’s three largest sectors accounted for most of its outperformance.

Investment environment
After a rocky start to the year, U.S. stock prices resumed their climb in the latter part of the period. Real GDP contracted by 2.9% during the first quarter, though an unusually cold winter likely caused much of the weakness. The labor market strengthened and the unemployment rate declined to 6.1% at the end of June, the lowest since September 2008. The housing market improved, although activity remained well below historical levels. Household net worth increased to a record at the end of the first quarter, driven by higher housing and stock prices. Consumer price inflation also picked up toward the close of the period.

The Federal Reserve continued to reduce its monthly asset purchases. However, it reiterated in June that it would likely maintain the federal funds rate of 0% to 0.25% for a considerable time after the purchase program ends. Also in June, the European Central Bank introduced measures designed to loosen monetary policy in the Eurozone. These included cutting interest rates and imposing a negative interest rate on deposits held at the bank.

Mergers and acquisitions picked up in the first half, with global volume up 75% year-over-year to $1.75 trillion, according to Reuters. In the United States, corporate balance sheets have been flush with cash, low-cost debt financing widely available, and stock deals more attractive as stock prices have risen. Moreover, a globally uncompetitive corporate tax policy has encouraged U.S.-domiciled multinationals to acquire foreign companies and relocate abroad in “inversion” transactions.

On the geopolitical front, the situation in Ukraine remained tenuous as fighting continued. Crises also roiled the Middle East as militants seized territory in Northern Iraq and Syria, and Israeli-Palestinian talks broke down and led to violence. These conflicts threatened to destabilize the region, an important supplier to global energy markets.

Management of the portfolio
Favorable stock selection in the information technology, industrial, and health care sectors, as well as an overweight position in health care, benefited relative returns. The biggest contributors included Micron (+51.5%), Southwest Airlines (+43.1%), Alaska Air Group (+30.3%), Eli Lilly (+24.0%), and Hewlett-Packard (+21.5%). Underweight positions in utilities and energy, the two best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index, detracted.

Investments in health care and information technology composed about 60% of holdings on average during the period, nearly double the index’s weighting of 32%. About 25% of the portfolio’s average holdings were invested in pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks. We believe that our selections in this area offer attractive growth prospects at reasonable valuations. Although we are particularly enthusiastic about the portfolio’s health care and information technology investments, we seek opportunities in all sectors. We remain focused on companies that have better growth prospects over a three- to five-year horizon than their current market valuations would suggest.

Outlook for U.S. equities
We are less optimistic about the outlook for U.S. equities than we have been in recent years. However, we continue to believe that many individual stocks are attractively valued and that stocks are a more attractive investment than bonds at current prices.

As of June 30, the S&P 500 was trading at about 16.5 times the 2014 consensus estimated earnings per share of $119. That is a reasonable valuation by historical standards, but the index appears expensive on a price-to-sales-multiple basis because profit margins are near all-time highs. We are also concerned that the consensus earnings-per-share estimates, which call for 8.7% growth in 2014 and 11.5% growth in 2015 after 5.7% growth in 2013, will be difficult to achieve. Similarly, consensus sales-per-share growth estimates call for an acceleration from 2.4% in 2013 to 3.2% in 2014 and 4.2% in 2015.

We remain committed to our investment philosophy, which is to invest in attractively priced individual stocks for the long term. Because this “bottom-up” approach often results in portfolios that bear little resemblance to market indexes, our results often deviate substantially from these indexes as well. Furthermore, our long-term investment horizon results in low portfolio turnover, which can mean extended periods of underperformance when our holdings fall out of favor. We nonetheless believe that this approach can generate superior results for investors over the long term.

Investment Focus


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

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

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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard 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. investment companies. 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

31


 

Vanguard Capital Growth Portfolio

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. PRIMECAP Management Company provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.15% 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $72,000 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 636,103 33,501
Temporary Cash Investments 44,148
Total 680,251 33,501

 

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio realized net foreign currency gains of $12,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $472,466,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $241,286,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $248,053,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $6,767,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $57,321,000 of investment securities and sold $47,285,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 2,885 8,131

Redeemed (1,998) (4,610)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 1,698 4,392

 

At June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,022.81 2.01

 

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 0.40%. 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

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Conservative Allocation Portfolio

U.S. stocks overcame a rough start to finish the six months ended June 30, 2014, near record highs. The U.S. bond market and international stocks logged respectable gains.

For the half year, Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio returned 5.08%, in line with its benchmark (5.14%) and ahead of the average return of peer funds (4.14%).

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.

Bonds staged a surprise rally, for a multitude of reasons
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. It targets an asset allocation of approximately 60% bonds and 40% stocks through these 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 Conservative Allocation Portfolio saw balanced strength over the six months.

The investment environment for bonds was far different from the one in 2013, when yields rose and prices declined. Investors who exited the U.S. bond market in the second half of 2013 or sought safety in short-term maturities expecting the Federal Reserve to keep tapering its bond purchases missed out on the strong recovery early this year among bonds, especially longer-dated and lower-rated ones. Various developments were behind the reversal in demand, including winter-related weakness in the U.S. economy and slowing growth in China.

The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned nearly 4%. U.S. government bonds returned 2.7%, with Treasuries slightly outpacing agency bonds. Investment-grade corporate bonds returned 5.7% as investors embraced more risk in their search for income.

Meanwhile, Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund returned more than 4% as prices rose and yields fell for most bonds across the globe.

Stock markets performed solidly both in the U.S. and overseas
In the United States, mid-capitalization stocks surpassed large- and small-caps, and value stocks trumped growth. But all joined in the stock market’s solid showing.

The technology sector was a top contributor as some of the nation’s largest hardware, software, semiconductor, and internet companies thrived. Health care stocks excelled as well. Having productive drug pipelines and few projected patent expirations helped biotechnology and pharmaceutical giants.

International stock markets performed almost as well. European stocks returned 6%. Developed markets in the Pacific region rose less, in part because the U.S. dollar fell in value against the Japanese yen and Australian dollar. Emerging-market stocks returned about 7%.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, seems to have vanished recently, and returns have been robust. In such a relatively calm, favorable climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing.

Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with an asset mix that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, your intended one. Fortunately, the Conservative Allocation Portfolio is regularly rebalanced to stay close to its target allocation—a beneficial feature for investors who want to stay on course.

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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio

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. and international stocks, and U.S. 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. investment companies. 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and borne by the funds in which the portfolio invests (See Note B). Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

5. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the portfolio. The service agreement provides that the portfolio’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the portfolio. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $124,359,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,043,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $7,778,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,735,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A typical portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. The Conservative Allocation Portfolio has no direct expenses, but bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the acquired fund fees and expenses, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period. The costs were calculated using the acquired fund fees and expenses for the Conservative Allocation Portfolio.

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

• Based on actual portfolio return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the portfolio’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The portfolio’s expense figure does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

1 The calculations are based on the Conservative Allocation Portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses for the most recent six-month period. The Conservative Allocation Portfolio’s annualized expense figure for
that period is 0.19%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted expense ratio for the underlying funds, multiplied by the average account value over the period,
multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Conservative Allocation Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services since the portfolio’s inception in 2011, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Index Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Diversified Value Portfolio

Growth and value stocks typically take turns outperforming each other, as happened in the first half of the year when large-company value stocks reclaimed the lead from their growth counterparts. The Russell 1000 Value Index returned 8.28%—about 2 percentage points more than the Russell 1000 Growth Index. This environment helped Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio return 7.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, slightly behind its benchmark but ahead of the average return of 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.

Overall performance was solid with some relative weak spots
As all ten Russell 1000 Value Index sectors gained ground, the stage was set for the portfolio to produce solid returns—and it did. But as we’ve noted in past reports, the results of a handful of stocks in a portfolio that typically holds fewer than 50 companies can lead the portfolio’s return to diverge from the benchmark’sand it did.

Two of the portfolio’s larger sectors, financials and industrials, were notable sources of strength. Their mid-single-digit returns were able to lift performance above the benchmark. And the small utilities sector returned more than 20%, also providing a boost. However, the benefits of good stock selection in these three sectors were more than offset by some disappointments in the remaining seven sectors, especially in consumer staples and energy.

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

The power of compounding can put time on your side
Although it’s important to know how your investments are doing, short-term performance isn’t what matters most. Don’t let a focus on recent results distract you from the long-term commitment you need to help achieve your goals.

To be sure, there are many aspects of investing success that you can’t control, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you invest, and that allows you

to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings.

A simple example illustrates the benefits of the compounding that can potentially result from investing and then reinvesting your money over the long haul, putting time on your side. Suppose that you were able to put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year. (This is hypothetical; actual returns would likely be different and much less predictable.)

If you keep reinvesting the earnings (again, assuming a hypothetical return of 6% each year), after ten years your investment will have grown to almost $18,000. But if you are able to 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 Diversified Value Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The Diversified Value Portfolio returned 7.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Russell 1000 Value Index returned 8.28% and the MSCI US Prime Market 750 Index 7.25%.

The investment environment
Economic growth disappointed in the first half of the year. U.S. gross domestic product shrank 2.9% in the first quarter. But severe weather seems to have had a larger impact than any disruption in the underlying recovery, and trends improved in the second quarter. Chinese growth slowed as the government attempted to engineer a transition from an investment-to a consumer-driven economy.

The conventional wisdom at the beginning of the year was that interest rates would rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve tapered its quantitative easing. Instead, they remained low: The 10-year Treasury note yield fell from 3.0% to 2.5%. European interest rates dropped more dramatically as the European Central Bank embarked on additional monetary easing measures. German 10-year government bond yields fell from 1.9% to 1.2%, Italian yields from 4.1% to 2.8%, and Spanish yields from 4.2% to 2.7%. These low rates continued to push investors further out on the risk spectrum in search of returns.

Our successes and shortfalls
Equities’ strong performance continued in the first half of 2014, led once again by the smaller names in the benchmark index. The smaller half of the stocks in the index by market capitalization returned 11.6%, versus 8.3% for the entire index, and now carries a 20% premium price/earnings ratio to the overall index. As a result, the vast majority of stocks that fit our value criteria fell within the larger half of the index, which trailed the overall market. The portfolio should benefit in the future as market capitalization performance differentials such as this tend to correct over time.

Stock selection in industrials lifted performance. General Dynamics led; its defense business outlook improved with several large orders and its Gulfstream business jet operation grew more than expected. Strength in the utilities sector also helped, notably Public Services Enterprise Group and Entergy, when electricity prices increased during an unusually cold winter. Our stock selection and underweighting in financials were positives as well. That sector lagged as interest rates fell, economic growth slowed, and low volatility hurt the profitability of fixed income trading operations.

In consumer staples, both Philip Morris International and Diageo underperformed. Energy stock selection detracted as well: Marathon Petroleum suffered from concerns that contracting spreads between U.S. and international oil prices would reduce refining profit margins. However, we believe that this issue is reflected in the shares at the current valuation of just eight times forward earnings and that management’s actions to improve the business are underappreciated.

Consumer discretionary stocks also held back results. Target underperformed because of troubles with its expansion into Canada and a credit card data breach in the United States. Its Canadian operations are a large drag on earnings. But Target now trades at just 11 times its domestic earnings, and we believe the Canadian business will either be fixed or abandoned.

Our portfolio positioning
Entering the second half of the year, markets continued to move higher, climbing a wall of growing concerns to achieve new highs with little volatility. Amid this quiet calm, the S&P 500 Index completed its longest stretch of trading days without a daily move greater than 1% in either direction since 1995. Whether this advance reflects a stable outlook or investor complacency before a storm remains to be seen. As the bull market stretches on, it appears that the outlook increasingly depends on either a continuation of low interest rates and inflation or an acceleration of revenue and earnings growth.

We remain focused on buying a concentrated portfolio of good companies trading at valuations below the broad market for reasons that we believe to be temporary or overblown. This bottom-up approach has led us to a portfolio that today is more defensively positioned than the broad market. It is overweighted in the consumer staples and health care sectors and underweighted in financials and basic materials. However, its fundamentals such as dividend yield and return on equity are currently more attractive than those of the benchmark. We remain optimistic that the combination of a fundamental premium and a valuation advantage positions the portfolio well for the future.

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 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. investment companies. 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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

52


 

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

5. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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. Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC, provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the portfolio’s performance for the preceding three years relative to the MSCI Prime Market 750 Index. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.13% of the portfolio’s average net assets before a decrease of $5,000 (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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $124,000 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 June 30, 2014, 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

53


 

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $940,938,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $250,688,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $328,894,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $78,206,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $138,741,000 of investment securities and sold $126,239,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 5,384 8,511
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 4,059 1,407
Redeemed (6,199) (8,930)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 3,244 988

 

At June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Diversified Value Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1

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

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.35%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are
equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most
recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Diversified Value Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Equity Income Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio returned 7.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, slightly behind the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index but ahead of the average return of peers. The portfolio invests primarily in large-capitalization stocks, which generally outperformed those of smaller companies, giving it an edge over the approximately 7% return of the broad U.S. market.

The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield, 2.58% as of June 30, was essentially unchanged from the December-end yield and about 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.

Results were solid overall despite weakness in some areas
The portfolio’s advisors seek to generate superior returns by investing in high-quality, well-established companies with above-average dividend yields, often in out-of-favor industries. This strategy produced gains in nine of the ten industry sectors. (Consumer discretionary holdings slipped modestly.) Utilities and health care stocks, long-time stalwarts of dividend-focused strategies, delivered double-digit returns and were joined by information technology stocks—relative newcomers.

Compared with the benchmark index, results were mixed. The advisors’ selections in health care, especially major pharmaceutical firms, were notable bright spots, but relatively light exposure to some strong IT performers restrained performance.

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

The power of compounding can put time on your side
Although it’s important to know how your investments are doing, short-term performance isn’t what matters most. Don’t let a focus on recent results distract you from the long-term commitment you need to help achieve your goals.

To be sure, there are many aspects of investing success that you can’t control, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you invest, and that allows you to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings.

A simple example illustrates the benefits of the compounding that can potentially result from investing and then reinvesting your money over the long haul, putting time on your side. Suppose that you were able to put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year. (This is hypothetical; actual returns would likely be different and much less predictable.)

If you keep reinvesting the earnings (again, assuming a hypothetical return of 6% each year), after ten years your investment will have grown to almost $18,000. But if you are able to 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 Equity Income Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio returned 7.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The FTSE High Dividend Yield Index returned 7.89%, and peer funds returned an average of 6.83%. The portfolio is managed by two independent advisors, a strategy that enhances diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also provided a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the six months and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on July 9, 2014.

In the first half of 2014, robust merger and acquisition activity and accommodative monetary policy from central banks including the European Central Bank and the People’s Bank of China aided bullish sentiment. Despite geopolitical risks stemming from Ukraine and Iraq, tepid economic data from Europe, and a negative GDP report in the United States, global equities rallied for the eighth consecutive quarter.

After the weak first-quarter GDP revision, with its weather- and health care-related distortions, we believe the U.S. economy is poised for stronger activity in the second half. GDP growth could accelerate to a 2.5% to 3% range over the next 12 to 18 months. Easing fiscal drag, an end to inventory adjustments, and the fading impact of higher interest rates should all help.

Housing has been weaker than we expected, but recent data have shown signs of reacceleration. Prices are still up by double digits year-over-year, so remodeling activity should continue to be healthy, which benefits our holdings in Home Depot. We believe the Federal Reserve remains on track to end quantitative easing in the fourth quarter and is likely to start raising policy rates by next spring. As the labor market tightens, we are watching the direction and course of wage gains, which could cause the Fed to act sooner than expected.

Globally, the risks are higher than at the beginning of the year, but we believe the environment still supports growth. The European economy looks to be stable and slowly improving. The ECB has signaled that it will hold rates low and do what it takes to keep the recovery on track. However, the Bank of England seems poised to be the first major central bank to hike rates to fight inflation.

Japan appears to be rebounding from April’s value-added tax (VAT) rate increase. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe recently unveiled reform measures to boost long-term economic growth, including lowering the corporate tax rate. China remains one of the largest risks in the global economy. We see signs of stress in its banking system, and growth has slowed. So far, the slowdown has been moderate and manageable, but we will be watching closely.

We are also keeping an eye on oil prices and energy markets. Global tensions have put upward pressure on oil prices, which are higher than we expected a few months ago and could dampen economic growth. After the Ukraine-Russia crisis came the flare-up of violence in Iraq, which is still a tenuous situation and the primary geopolitical risk heading into the third quarter.

Significant purchases during the period included new positions in AkzoNobel, a Netherlands-based paint and coating producer; pharmaceutical firm Eli Lilly; Enbridge, a Canadian energy pipeline company; Caterpillar, a construction and mining equipment manufacturer; and MetLife, a life insurance and financial services company.

We eliminated positions in Stanley Black & Decker (because of eroding fundamentals), BP, a U.K.-based oil and gas company (earnings estimates were under pressure), and Time Warner Cable (insufficient yield as it approached our price target). We sold our small position in International Paper as we had concerns about new supply disrupting supply/demand dynamics.

We also eliminated positions in AT&T and Vodafone and used the proceeds to add to our Verizon holdings. Verizon’s acquisition of Vodafone’s stake in Verizon Wireless should boost earnings, resulting in an attractive valuation opportunity. We sold Imperial Tobacco Group, which we felt would not successfully rebrand its product portfolio. And we purchased additional shares of British American Tobacco—which we regard as more global, with better long-term growth prospects.

Overall, the portfolio is positioned to benefit from economic improvements throughout 2014. We remain focused on finding investment opportunities in quality dividend-paying companies with superior total return potential at discounted valuations.

After falling more than 3% in January, U.S. equities resumed their march upward from very strong 2013 results and rose for five straight months. The broad U.S. market returned almost 7% as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, with large-cap stocks ahead of smaller-caps. U.S. markets generally outpaced international, and emerging-market returns beat those of developed markets.

Central banks continued their accommodative policies, and volatility across financial markets decreased. In the middle of June, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) registered its lowest level, 10.6, of the last five years. Real estate and labor markets exhibited a slow but consistent recovery. Although first-quarter GDP results were hampered by a difficult winter, growth expectations for the remainder of the year and beyond were in the 2–3% range. Finally, bond credit spreads have decreased to a level not seen since 2006, an indicator of risk-taking and optimism that can drive equity markets higher.

Performance within the FTSE High Dividend Yield benchmark was broad-based, as all ten sector groups generated positive returns. Results were best in utility and technology companies. Although they were positive, consumer discretionary and industrial companies were the laggards for the period within the benchmark.

Although it’s important to understand how the overall performance of our portion of the portfolio is affected by the macro factors described above, our approach to investing focuses on specific stock fundamentals. We seek to compare all stocks in our investment universe within the same industry groups in order to identify those that have characteristics that we believe will outperform over the long run.

To do this, we use a strict quantitative process that evaluates a combination of valuation and other factors that are focused on fundamental growth. Using the results of our model, we then construct our portfolio, with the goal of maximizing expected return and minimizing exposure to risks that our research indicates do not improve returns, such as market capitalization and other risks relative to our benchmark.

Our model’s six-month results across sectors were effective, producing positive stock selection in seven of the ten sectors in the benchmark, with the strongest results in utilities and financials.

In utilities, Public Service Enterprise Group, Entergy, and Edison International were the largest contributors to relative performance. In financials, Wells Fargo and Travelers Companies drove our results. Unfortunately, we were not able to avoid all poor performers. Our selections in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors were disappointing as Wynn Resorts, GameStop, and Las Vegas Sands in the consumer group and Ensco plc in energy did not perform as expected.

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

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

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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

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

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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 uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio enters 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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 in the Statement of Net Assets for

66


 

Vanguard Equity Income Portfolio

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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. Wellington Management Company, llp, provides investment advisory services to 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 $227,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.11% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before a decrease of $8,000 (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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $98,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 892,355 48,952
Temporary Cash Investments 20,159 2,900

E. At June 30, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2014 6 586 1
        212

 

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’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $748,199,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $216,167,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $223,094,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $6,927,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $164,343,000 of investment securities and sold $176,494,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Equity Income Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,075.87 $1.65
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.21 1.61

 

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 Income Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Equity Index Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio returned 7.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as U.S. stocks overcame a rough start to finish the half year near record highs. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (7.14%) and better than the average return of peer funds (6.31%).

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

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

Technology and health care stocks did best as all sectors advanced
Investors looked beyond obvious challenges during the six months—such as the U.S. economy’s contraction in the first quarter, rising oil prices, and the World Bank’s reduced estimate for 2014 global growth. Instead, they focused on positives that included lower U.S. unemployment and strong corporate earnings.

All ten industry sectors in Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio advanced, with information technology, health care, and energy stocks contributing the most.

Information technology, the portfolio’s largest sector, benefited from strong results posted by hardware, software, and internet companies. Global demand for smart-phones and internet-related products and services, along with continued growth of cloud-based computing, helped the sector return about 9%.

Health care stocks returned nearly 11% as investor concerns about the Affordable Care Act began to ease. Pharmaceutical firms did well amid enthusiasm over promising drug pipelines.

Energy was also a strong contributor, gaining 13%. Oil and gas producers were boosted by demand for natural gas arising from the severe U.S. winter, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and growing reliance on oil in the developing world. Rising natural gas prices also boosted utilities, the second-smallest sector but the one with the portfolio’s highest return (19%).

The consumer discretionary sector was the weakest performer, returning less than 1%. Media companies, hotels, and restaurants did fairly well, but retailers struggled as consumers kept a tight grip on their wallets.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, seems to have vanished for the moment, and returns have been robust. In the more than five years since its March 2009 bottom, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, has produced average annual returns of about 26%. That’s more than double the market’s historical average annual return.

The investment winds don’t always blow so favorably, of course. While the smooth sailing lasts, however, it creates risks of its own: In such a calm climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing. Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so that it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with a mix of assets that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, the one you intended to have.

Whether the market’s moving up, down, or sideways, we always encourage our clients to stay focused on four keys to Vanguard’s timeless principles for investment success: goals, balance, cost, and discipline.

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

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

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

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

1 S&P 500 Index.
2 Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Float Adjusted Index.
3 30-day SEC yield for the portfolio; annualized dividend yield for the indexes.
4 Annualized.
5 The expense ratio shown is from the prospectus dated April 30, 2014, and represents estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the annualized expense ratio was 0.16%.
6 The holdings listed exclude any temporary cash investments and equity index products.

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 Index Portfolio

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. investment companies. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The portfolio may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The portfolio may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $342,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 3,362,939
Temporary Cash Investments 24,810 1,600

D. At June 30, 2014, 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

E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2014 6 586
        270

 

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

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,495,330,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $894,019,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,068,049,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $174,030,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $135,859,000 of investment securities and sold $150,873,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2014, 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 31% or more of the portfolio’s net assets, with a combined ownership of 65%. 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 June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Equity 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.

Equity Index Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1

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

 

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

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Growth Portfolio

After leading in 2013, large-company growth stocks took a back seat to their value counterparts for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 6.31%, about 2 percentage points behind the Russell 1000 Value Index. Still, Vanguard Growth Portfolio returned 5.95%, shy of its benchmark (which of course incurs no expenses) but ahead of 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.

Weakness in technology stocks was offset by other sector gains
Last year, the portfolio’s consumer staples and financial holdings, two sectors not commonly associated with growth stocks, performed exceptionally well. Financials reversed course in the first half of 2014, however, lagging the benchmark and becoming the portfolio’s only sector to lose ground. But consumer staples continued to shine, producing a result more than three times the sector’s return in the benchmark. The advisors’ energy selections powered to a gain of more than 25%, edging ahead of those in the benchmark, and their health care picks also outperformed. Together, consumer staples, energy, and health care were responsible for most of the portfolio’s return.

Information technology, making up about one-third of average portfolio assets, lost some of its luster. The advisors missed out on a few strong performers and overweighted some disappointments.

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

The power of compounding can put time on your side
Although it’s important to know how your investments are doing, short-term performance isn’t what matters most. Don’t let a focus on recent results distract you from the long-term commitment you need to help achieve your goals.

To be sure, there are many aspects of investing success that you can’t control, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you invest, and that allows you to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings.

A simple example illustrates the benefits of the compounding that can potentially result from investing and then reinvesting your money over the long haul, putting time on your side. Suppose that you were able to put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year. (This is hypothetical; actual returns would likely be different and much less predictable.)

If you keep reinvesting the earnings (again, assuming a hypothetical return of 6% each year), after ten years your investment will have grown to almost $18,000. But if you are able to 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 Growth Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Growth Portfolio returned 5.95% for the first six months of 2014, a bit behind the 6.31% return of the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index but ahead of the 4.31% average return of peer funds.

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

The advisors, the percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the six months and of the effect this environment had on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on July 14, 2014.

Our best relative contributor to performance was Allergan, which appreciated sharply when it rejected an acquisition offer by Valeant, a Canadian pharmaceutical company. Valeant has increased its bid, and it remains to be seen how aggressively it will pursue the acquisition. We are currently assessing Allergan’s fair value as a stand-alone business as well as the potential value of a combined Valeant-Allergan entity.

MasterCard was our largest detractor. The company’s stock experienced some weakness over concerns about whether consumer spending habits will be affected by several high-profile credit card “hacking” incidents. Although we feel these concerns are not likely to subside anytime soon, we don’t believe they will materially affect the company. MasterCard has shown in recent years that its flexible business

model provides a buffer against swings in economic cycles and allows it to grow even in difficult periods. Overall, we continue to believe the company is well-positioned to benefit as global payment transactions continue to move from paper-based to electronic.

Despite positive absolute equity returns during the past few years, we believe the relatively tepid market sentiment demonstrates that more than just fundamental factors are affecting stock prices. A lack of significant bull market sentiment suggests to us that many investors appear to be struggling to predict the pace of global economic recovery and are assessing threats such as central bank actions and fiscal policy debates.

Although some fundamentals may be headed upward (from a very low base during the 2008–2009 financial crisis), we don’t believe we are entering a typical postrecessionary global boom cycle. Rather, we think the lingering effects of the credit crisis could lead to moderate growth at best for the intermediate term.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

Based on our conversations with senior management of our portfolio companies, conditions appear to be improving slightly, but not enough yet to change capital and investment spending plans. An increasing number of companies in our portfolio are considering merger and acquisition or tax inversion strategies (or have had these ideas forced upon them in response to merger overtures by others). Many companies—often influenced by large and/or aggressive shareholders—are currently seeking new value-creating or growth opportunities, and the type of businesses we hold can be the targets. In such an uncertain environment, we believe the quality of a firm’s business model, competitive position, and management may prove to be of utmost importance.

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

Our portion of the portfolio seeks to outpace growth indexes and, in the 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 approach is based on identifying companies with a clear competitive advantage that will enable them to sustain above-average growth.

Our strong stock selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors was offset by unfavorable choices in information technology and industrials. An overweight allocation to the consumer discretionary sector, an indirect result of our stock-specific decisions, also detracted from relative results.

Our position in Lululemon, a manufacturer and retailer of premium athletic apparel, hurt results. Shares fell after the company issued disappointing guidance in January after an in-line holiday selling season and a slow start to 2014. We sold the shares after concluding that the new management team faced a number of operational and competitive challenges.

Keurig Green Mountain, the leading provider of single-cup brewers and portion packs for coffee and other hot beverages, was our top contributor. In February, Coca-Cola announced it would take a 10% ownership interest in and collaborate on future products with the company, sending shares higher. Keurig also plans to launch a new cold beverage platform in 2015. We believe the company will continue to expand its household penetration rate over the next several years. Accordingly, we have trimmed our holdings but continue to maintain our position.

At the period’s close, our largest overweight was to the consumer discretionary sector, where we continue to find attractive long-term growth opportunities in industries including home building, apparel, media, resorts, and travel. Our most significant underweight allocations were to energy and consumer staples.

U.S. equity markets forged higher, supported by a number of factors. These included positive U.S. and European economic data, stabilization in China’s economic growth, continued corporate earnings growth, accommodative policy from global central banks, and increased mergers and acquisitions activity. Domestically, most economic data have been solid, consistent, and enough to nudge corporate profits higher. Investors were initially worried about the revised first-quarter GDP decline (–2.9%). But in the end they shrugged it off, believing it to be heavily influenced by the harsh winter weather, as preliminary second-quarter data showed substantial improvement. The Federal Reserve moved ahead with its plans to taper asset purchases, suggesting policy continuity under Janet Yellen’s leadership.

Our performance was driven by mostly successful stock selection even though lower-valuation stocks were in favor from March to May. The top performer year-to-date was Keurig Green Mountain, in the consumer staples sector. Health care picks were also quite strong, particularly Allergan, IDEXX Laboratories, and Covidien.

On the downside, the market bias toward lower-valuation stocks appeared most significantly in the information technology sector. Citrix Systems, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and MasterCard all detracted from relative performance.

The economic contraction reported in the first quarter appears to be a transitory issue. Early indications are that spending and production rebounded swiftly in the second quarter, providing support for continued economic expansion in the business cycle. The U.S. economic recovery has been slow and steady. This lack of runaway growth and inflation points toward a reduced risk of monetary policy tightening on the horizon.

Our focus remains on identifying high-quality companies whose stocks trade at attractive valuations relative to the expected growth and consistency of the businesses. We believe our portion of the portfolio is well-suited to withstand a variety of market scenarios and add value over the long-term.

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

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

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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

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

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio enters 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.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. Wellington Management Company, llp, Jackson Square Partners, LLC, 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 fee of Wellington Management Company, llp, and Jackson Square Partners, LLC, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.14% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before a decrease of $20,000 (0.01%) based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the portfolio based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $43,000 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, these arrangements reduced the portfolio’s expenses by $3,000 (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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 409,670 1,628
Preferred Stocks 320
Temporary Cash Investments 10,288 3,000
Futures Contracts—Assets1 2
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (1)
Total 419,959 3,000 1,948
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

F. At June 30, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
S&P 500 Index September 2014 13 6,345 86

 

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

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $301,619,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $123,287,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $126,724,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,437,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

H. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $ 82,873,000 of investment securities and sold $88,792,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

I. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2014, 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.

J. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

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

• Based on actual portfolio return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the portfolio’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

Vanguard Growth Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Growth Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangements with Wellington Management Company, llp (Wellington Management), and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. (William Blair). The board determined that renewing the portfolio’s advisory arrangements was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders. In addition, the board approved a new advisory agreement with Jackson Square Partners, LLC (Jackson Square), for the reasons described below.

In April 2014, the Focus Growth team of Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (Delaware Investments) completed its spinoff to create a new advisor, Jackson Square, which is jointly owned by the Focus Growth team and an affiliate of Delaware Investments. This new corporate structure triggered the automatic termination of the former advisory agreement with Delaware Investments, as required by law. The new agreement is identical in all material respects to the former agreement with Delaware Investments (which was previously renewed by the board), except for the date of the agreement.

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

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

Jackson Square. Jackson Square invests primarily in common stocks of large-capitalization, growth-oriented companies that it believes have long-term capital appreciation potential and expects to grow faster than the U.S. economy. Jackson Square uses a bottom-up approach, seeking companies that have large-end market potential, dominant business models, and strong free cash flow generation that is attractively priced compared to the intrinsic value of securities. Members of Jackson Square’s management team have managed a portion of the portfolio since 2010.

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

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

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

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

98


 

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® High Yield Bond Portfolio

Bond yields unexpectedly reversed course in 2014. They began heading higher in May 2013 at the prospect of the Federal Reserve scaling back its bond purchases. But the tide turned at the beginning of this year for all but the shortest-dated maturities. An array of factors contributed to the yields drifting lower, including sputtering economic expansion, a continuation of loose monetary policy at home and abroad, and instability in some emerging markets that rekindled investors’ appetite for bonds in general, especially those offering more yield.

The environment of falling bond yields and solid corporate fundamentals helped the High Yield Bond Portfolio return 4.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. That performance fell a little short of the 5.46% return for its benchmark, but was a step ahead of the average return of 4.69% for its peer group.

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

The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield fell to 3.74% on June 30, 2014, down from 4.19% six months earlier.

High-yield bonds did well across the credit spectrum
Returns by credit quality among high- yield bonds fell within a fairly narrow range for the six-month period—between 5% and 6%. Bonds rated Ba by Moody’s Investors Service, the highest rating for “junk” bonds, led the way, providing a relative advantage to the portfolio when compared with its benchmark because of its outsized holdings in this segment. Lower-rated bonds weren’t far behind, though, with default rates remaining low and investors hungry for income.

Amid that demand from investors, the average spread in yields between high-yield bonds and U.S. Treasuries tightened over the period. (The smaller the spread, the less high-yield investors are being compensated for the additional risk being taken.) Supply also remained plentiful as issuers continued to lock in borrowing costs at low interest rates.

Another positive for the portfolio was the advisor’s success in finding pockets of relative value in the market. At the same time, the portfolio’s cash position—which it maintains as a liquidity buffer to meet redemptions and take advantage of price dislocations when they arise—detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.

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

For better results later, pull the savings lever now
We can’t control how the financial markets perform, of course, but we can control how much we save. And it’s those savings that can most affect how much wealth we build. A Vanguard research paper found that “increasing the savings rate can have a substantially more positive impact on wealth accumulation than shifting to a more aggressive portfolio.” (You can read the full paper, Penny Saved, Penny Earned, at vanguard.com/research.)

There are a variety of ways to save effectively, and small shifts from spending to saving can make a meaningful difference. Perhaps the most important thing is to develop a savings mindset. As Warren Buffett said, “Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.”

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

Advisor’s Report

The investment environment
For the first six months of 2014, the portfolio returned 4.79%, compared with the benchmark return of 5.46%. A combination of lower U.S. Treasury yields and tighter high-yield bond spreads contributed to the performance during the period. U.S. economic data improved during the second quarter following weather-induced weakness in the first quarter, and the Federal Reserve continued to provide monetary stimulus, even as it wound down its asset purchases.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield ended 2013 at 2.97%, but had declined to 2.54% by the end of June 2014. As bond yields and prices are inversely correlated, bond prices rose sharply. Longer-duration and interest rate-sensitive fixed income assets benefited along with underlying Treasuries. Credit-sensitive sectors, including the high-yield market, rallied along with equities, as continued improvements in employment, housing, and manufacturing data offset geopolitical concerns in Ukraine and the Middle East.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, there was little dispersion in performance by credit quality. Ba-rated bonds performed best, owing to their greater sensitivity to interest rates, and returned 5.85%, according to Barclays High Yield Index data. Meanwhile, Caa-rated bonds benefited from tightening spreads and greater coupon income, and returned 5.80%; B-rated bonds returned 5.00%. The spread of the high-yield market narrowed to 337 basis points over Treasuries as of June 30, 2014, from 382 basis points at the end of 2013. (One basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point.) The average price of high-yield bonds increased $2 to $106 during the period.

Lower-rated bonds have performed very well year-to-date as risk assets have rallied and the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, advanced to record high levels. Corporate fundamentals remain healthy, and debt levels at most companies are stable. With our expectation of continued U.S. GDP growth in 2014 and 2015, we believe most high-yield companies will be able to sustain solid credit profiles. However, we have seen a pickup in shareholder-friendly activity, including mergers and acquisitions, and a weakening of bondholder covenants, which may put pressure on balance sheets going forward. But at this point, the default experience remains benign, with Moody’s Investors Service’s trailing 12-month speculative-grade default rate at 2.3% as of the end of May, still well below the long-term average of 3.9%.

The new-issue calendar continues to be robust, with $173 billion raised in the U.S. high-yield market in the first six months of the year, on pace to eclipse the record from 2013. Companies have benefited from strong investor demand for high-yield securities by refinancing their debt at lower interest costs and pushing out maturities into the future. However, after the risk rally of the last few years, the difference in spreads between low-quality and high-quality bonds has shrunk to near-record lows, meaning there is minimal spread pickup to be gained for taking on greater default risk. We believe that a high-quality bias in high-yield securities is therefore prudent at this point in the credit cycle.

The portfolio’s successes
The portfolio benefited from its relative weightings in the gaming, media-cable, and financial services sectors and from positive credit selection in the financial services sector.

The portfolio’s shortfalls
The portfolio’s holdings in cash represented a drag on relative performance for the six months. Relative weightings in the wireline and utilities sectors and credit selection in the technology and wireless sectors also detracted from performance.

The portfolio’s positioning
The portfolio remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a meaningful exposure to relatively higher-quality names within the high-yield market. We believe these credits have more consistent businesses and more predictable 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.

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 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. investment companies. 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. 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.

110


 

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

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

3. Forward Currency Contracts: The portfolio enters 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Repurchase Agreements: The portfolio enters 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. Wellington Management Company, llp, provides investment advisory services to the portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $58,000 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 2,424
Corporate Bonds 528,217
Preferred Stocks 10,742
Other 38
Temporary Cash Investments 23,699
Forward Currency Contract—Liabilities (53)
Total 565,029 38

 

At June 30, 2014, 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
  Contract         Appreciation

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

The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, 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. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2014; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $536,383,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $28,737,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $29,806,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,069,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $92,289,000 of investment securities and sold $62,666,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 7,617 12,529
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 3,659 3,679
Redeemed (4,008) (20,020)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 7,268 (3,812)

 

At June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

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

• Based on actual portfolio return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the portfolio’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
High Yield Bond Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,047.90 $1.47
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.36 1.45

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.29%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid”
are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the
most recent 12-month period.

Vanguard High Yield Bond Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® International Portfolio

International stocks again lagged the broad U.S. market, amid heightened conflict in Ukraine and Iraq. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA returned 5.56% and the Russell 3000 Index returned almost 7%. Vanguard International Portfolio returned 2.23%, trailing 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.

Weakness in developed markets tempered emerging markets’ strength
After a nearly flat first quarter, emerging- market stocks were resurgent in the second. A “soft landing” for China’s economy seemed more likely, and a pro-business prime minister was elected in India. The advisors’ holdings returned about 2 percentage points more than the emerging markets component of the benchmark index. But success in this relatively small slice of the portfolio could not make up for disappointments in developed markets.

The portfolio’s European stocks did advance modestly, but less than those in the benchmark—especially in some of the largest markets such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. And although Japan’s market eked out a slight gain, the advisors’ picks lost ground.

All ten industry sectors in the index advanced, but some in the portfolio declined. The financial sector, by far the largest, was a notable bright spot.

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

The power of compounding can put time on your side
Although it’s important to know how your investments are doing, short-term performance isn’t what matters most. This is especially true of this portfolio, which marked its twentieth anniversary in June and has a strong long-term record. Don’t let a focus on recent results distract you from the long-term commitment you need to help achieve your goals.

To be sure, there are many aspects of investing success that you can’t control, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you invest, and that allows you to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings.

A simple example illustrates the benefits of the compounding that can potentially result from investing and then reinvesting your money over the long haul, putting time on your side. Suppose that you were able to put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year. (This is hypothetical; actual returns would likely be different and much less predictable.)

If you keep reinvesting the earnings (again, assuming a hypothetical return of 6% each year), after ten years your investment will have grown to almost $18,000. But if you are able to 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 International Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the International Portfolio returned 2.23%, behind the 5.56% return of its benchmark index and the 4.07% average return of peer funds. The portfolio is managed by three independent advisors, a strategy that enhances diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the amount and percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the six months and the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. These reports were prepared on July 11, 2014.

We remain as enthusiastic as ever about our holdings and the strategic positioning of our portion of the portfolio, which is driven by some enduring and powerful global trends. We believe we are in an unusual period in which many large sectors are changing rapidly and some special businesses are being created.

Although market sentiment continues to swing around markedly, we disagree with those who are predicting dramatic economic developments. The tapering of the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program is a signal that the U.S. economy is broadening. Europe is demonstrating continuing signs of recovery, and we are increasingly enthusiastic about China’s leadership, which is pursuing a more balanced, sustainable growth path driven by home-grown innovation.

We try to ignore short-term headlines; the long-term opportunities for our companies are more important. This was epitomized by events surrounding Fiat, one of our strongest performers over the past six months. The completion of its Chrysler purchase and the beginnings of Maserati’s renaissance were well-received, but CEO Marchionne’s subsequent long-term growth plan was met with skepticism by the market. However, we think management deserves huge credit for its achievements. The company can accomplish much more through a revival of Alfa Romeo, a radical removal of unprofitable capacity, and further steps forward in America. If it does, the share price upside is potentially very substantial.

We do not often talk about things we don’t own. However, in the most recent period, several areas to which we had little or no exposure performed well, notably the energy and utilities sectors. Quite simply, our lack of holdings reflects a dearth of enthusiasm for the long-term growth prospects of individual companies in these industries.

Over the last six months, we have continued to invest in companies in which change is driving growth and whose potential returns we believe can make a significant difference to the portfolio. We have invested in diverse businesses that have benefited from the increasing reach of the internet, such as Ocado, a pure online food retailer in the United Kingdom, and M3, a Japanese provider of online marketing support for pharmaceutical companies.

We have also purchased new holdings in Volvo and in Yaskawa Electric, which makes equipment for factory automation. These positions were funded by the sale of two long-term technology holdings, Samsung Electronics and Kyocera, which we consider to be mature.

International equity markets rose fairly steadily in the first half of 2014. An unusual sector combination of energy, health care, and utilities led the way, and Japan was the only major country to experience weakness.

Some of our poorest performers were in Europe, mainly in the consumer and financial sectors. In financials, as market volatility fell to historically low levels, BNP Paribas and Credit Suisse suffered from slow fixed income and currency trading businesses and rising litigation costs. With these issues now behind them and a likely increase in volatility, we are confident an operational recovery will drive the shares, and we have been adding to our positions. In the consumer discretionary sector, adidas shares fell as weak emerging-market currencies led to near-term earnings downgrades.

On the positive side, Shire plc, with its strong franchise in attention deficit disorder drugs, delivered excellent returns. Operationally, it is performing well, with successful new drug launches and tight control of costs. The shares also benefited from a takeover approach from U.S. pharma company AbbVie.

Our industrial holdings gained as well. Singapore-based conglomerate Jardine Matheson rebounded after a weak 2013. The market reassessed the value of its strong Indonesia franchise, which includes auto dealerships and construction equipment.

Shares in Schneider Electric, a provider of electrical system equipment, reacted favorably to a management focus on organic growth. This followed the acquisition of Invensys to strengthen the firm’s automation offering. Structural growth in the corporate sector’s energy efficiency investments and a cyclical upturn in developed-world construction helped, too.

Our view is that global growth is steadily improving, led by the U.S. economy but encompassing Europe and some emerging economies such as India. Japan has fallen out of favor with investors, but as the Abe government continues its structural reforms we have added to our holdings with stocks including Bridgestone and Hitachi.

Although we are cautious on emerging markets overall, we have been building positions in India, where the economy and governance are strengthening under the newly elected Modi administration. We have added to mobile telecom operator Idea Cellular and media company Zee Entertainment, making India our largest emerging-country exposure.

International equities finished the first half of 2014 in positive territory, but the picture was far from rosy. In January, emerging-market currency turmoil and renewed concerns about the Chinese economy drove a mood of risk aversion that led to sell-offs.

Investors then managed to shrug off their concerns, only to encounter escalated tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which drove stock markets lower. A level of calm finally returned, but political uncertainties in the region continued to affect sentiment, as did a focus on growth prospects in China and U.S. economic policy.

Markets then gradually rose, buoyed by accommodative major central bank policy and improving sentiment in emerging markets. India in particular gained strongly after well-received national election results. Near the end of the half year, however, a wave of violence in Iraq made investors cautious amid heightened concerns about potential oil output disruption. Similar fears of European energy disruption arose as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.

Not surprisingly, the energy sector stood out, and our selections boosted our returns. Norway’s Statoil and French company Total, both oil and gas producers, enjoyed solid performance, as did South Africa’s Sasol, the world leader in producing liquid fuels from coal and gas.

Other contributors included Sysmex, a Japanese clinical diagnostic devices producer, and Swiss cement producer Holcim. Sysmex’s sales and profits continued to grow along with the globalization of its business. Holcim’s share price benefited from a merger with French rival Lafarge.

The best-performing sector was utilities. Our lack of exposure weighed on returns, as did stock selection, particularly in information technology and industrials. A notable laggard was French firm Vallourec, which makes high-quality steel pipes and connectors for oil wells. One of its largest customers, Brazilian oil company Petrobras, reduced its demand under political and financial pressure to cut costs and shrink inventory. Vallourec reported a drop in anticipated profits as a result, and investors reacted badly.

Wincor Nixdorf, a German banking and retail IT provider, and European aerospace giant Airbus also detracted. The greatest drag on returns came from adidas, a German-listed sportswear manufacturer, in part because of investor anxiety over its Russian exposure in light of the tensions with Ukraine.

As active stockpickers, we continue to search for companies with compelling scarce assets, structural growth drivers, and the potential for sustainably high returns as they become available at attractive valuations.

We purchased shares in MediaTek, an asset-light Taiwanese computer chip design company with a focus on products for mobile phone handsets. We think it is well-positioned for growth in the near term as smartphone penetration grows in China and emerging markets, and in the longer term as it becomes a more potent challenger to global leaders. We also opened a position in Kasikornbank, one of Thailand’s two higher-quality banks, which is customer-focused and has a conservative culture that we like.

We sold other holdings when we felt that more attractively valued companies with better growth prospects were available. These included Esprit, a Hong Kong-based clothing retailer, and Maersk, a Danish diversified shipping company. AZ Electronic Materials, a maker of chemicals used to produce semiconductors, also left the portfolio when Merck KGaA purchased it at a significant premium.

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. investment companies. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the portfolio’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a portfolio to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

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

3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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 enters 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 portfolio if the portfolio

127


 

Vanguard International 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period. The portfolio’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 4% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

7. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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. 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., Schroder Investment Management North America Inc., and M&G Investment Management Limited are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA. The Vanguard Group manages the cash reserves of the portfolio on an at-cost basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.15% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before an increase of $333,000 (0.03%) 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $237,000 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks—North and South America 181,211
Common Stocks—Other 117,188 1,905,992
Preferred Stocks 229
Temporary Cash Investments 165,835 4,799
Futures Contracts—Assets1 47
Forward Currency Contracts—Assets 700
Total 464,281 1,911,720
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

Securities in certain countries may transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 because of differences in stock market closure times that may result from transitions between standard and daylight saving time in those countries and the United States. Based on values on the date of transfer, securities valued at $27,353,000 based on Level 1 inputs were transferred from Level 2 during the fiscal period.

E. At June 30, 2014, the fair values of derivatives were reflected in the Statement of Net Assets as follows:

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

At June 30, 2014, 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.

Vanguard International Portfolio

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio realized net foreign currency gains of $134,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

The portfolio’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2013, the portfolio had available capital losses totaling $71,226,000 to offset future net capital gains through December 31, 2017. The portfolio will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending December 31, 2014; should the portfolio realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,852,249,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $523,005,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $601,731,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $78,726,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $217,821,000 of investment securities and sold $192,994,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

  Account Value Account Value Paid During
International Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,022.51 2.31

 

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 0.46%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are
equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most
recent 12-month period.

Vanguard International Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The board did not consider profitability of Baillie Gifford, M&G, or Schroder in determining whether to approve the advisory fees, because the firms are independent of Vanguard, and the advisory fees are the result of arm’s-length negotiations.

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

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

Vanguard® Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio returned 7.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as U.S. stocks overcame a rough start to finish the half year near record highs. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (7.97%) and slightly ahead of the average return of peer funds (7.35%).

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 mid-cap market segments added to the portfolio’s return
Market optimism carried into 2014 as investors anticipated that the U.S. economy’s slow growth would still support a rise in corporate profits. Mid-capitalization stocks surpassed their large- and small-cap counterparts, and value stocks trumped growth, but all joined in the market’s solid showing. And while some industry sectors performed better than others, they all posted positive results.

The technology sector was a leading contributor to returns. Hardware and semiconductor companies benefited from the growth of cloud-based computing and an expected increase in the electronic content of cars and industrial products.

Health care stocks also excelled, particularly among pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. And health care providers did well, despite unease about the effects of regulation on the managed care industry.

In the energy arena, oil and gas producers were boosted by strong demand for natural gas during the severe U.S. winter, geopolitical tensions that triggered higher prices, and growing reliance on oil in the developing world. Rising natural gas prices also bolstered utilities.

Results for the portfolio’s consumer-related sectors were tempered by worries about weaker consumer spending. Financials, one of the largest sectors, saw strong gains by real estate investment trusts (REITs), offset by weakness among consumer finance firms and lackluster results for some banks.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, seems to have vanished for the moment, and returns have been robust. In the more than five years since its March 2009 bottom, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, has produced average annual returns of about 26%. That’s more than double the market’s historical average annual return.

The investment winds don’t always blow so favorably, of course. While the smooth sailing lasts, however, it creates risks of its own: In such a calm climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing. Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so that it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with a mix of assets that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, the one you intended to have.

Whether the market’s moving up, down, or sideways, we always encourage our clients to stay focused on four keys to Vanguard’s timeless principles for investment success: goals, balance, cost, and discipline.

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.

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

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 Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

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. investment companies. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The portfolio may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The portfolio may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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

142


 

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $130,000 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stock 1,303,538
Temporary Cash Investments 12,385 500
Futures Contracts—Assets1 11
Total 1,315,934 500
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At June 30, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

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

S&P 500 Index September 2014 1 488 6
        41

 

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

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $979,551,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $336,872,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $364,068,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $27,196,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $156,594,000 of investment securities and sold $107,855,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Redeemed (4,105) (7,957)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 4,875 5,572

 

At June 30, 2014, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 51% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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.

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 0.24%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are
equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most
recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


 

Vanguard® Moderate Allocation Portfolio

U.S. stocks overcame a rough start to finish the six months ended June 30, 2014, near record highs. The U.S. bond market and international stocks logged respectable gains.

For the half year, Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio returned 5.62%, in line with its benchmark (5.70%) and slightly ahead of the average return of peer funds (4.91%).

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.

Stock markets performed solidly both in the U.S. and overseas
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. It targets an asset allocation of approximately 60% stocks and 40% bonds through these 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%).

The Moderate Allocation Portfolio saw balanced strength over the six months.

In the United States, mid-capitalization stocks surpassed large- and small-caps, and value stocks trumped growth. But all joined in the stock market’s solid showing.

The technology sector was a top contributor as some of the nation’s largest hardware, software, semiconductor, and internet companies thrived. Health care stocks excelled as well. Having productive drug pipelines and few projected patent expirations helped biotechnology and pharmaceutical giants.

International stock markets performed almost as strongly. European stocks returned 6%. Developed markets in the Pacific region rose less (3%), in part because the U.S. dollar fell in value against the Japanese yen and Australian dollar. Emerging-market stocks returned about 7%.

Bonds staged a surprise rally, for a multitude of reasons
The investment environment for bonds over the six months was far different from the one in 2013, when yields rose and prices declined. Investors who exited the U.S. bond market in the second half of 2013 or sought safety in short-term maturities expecting the Federal Reserve to keep tapering its bond purchases missed out on the strong recovery early this year among bonds, especially longer-dated and lower-rated ones. Various developments were behind the reversal in demand, including winter-related weakness in the U.S. economy and slowing growth in China.

The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned nearly 4%. U.S. government bonds returned 2.7%, with Treasuries slightly outpacing agency bonds. Investment-grade corporate bonds returned 5.7% as investors embraced more risk in their search for income.

Meanwhile, Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund returned more than 4% as prices rose and yields fell for most bonds across the globe.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, seems to have vanished recently, and returns have been robust. In such a relatively calm, favorable climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing.

Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with an asset mix that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, your intended one. Fortunately, the Moderate Allocation Portfolio is regularly rebalanced to stay close to its target allocation—a beneficial feature for investors who want to stay on course.

Portfolio Asset Allocation


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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio

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. and international stocks, and U.S. 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. investment companies. 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and borne by the funds in which the portfolio invests (See Note B). Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

5. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the portfolio. The service agreement provides that the portfolio’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the portfolio. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $152,365,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $14,845,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $16,066,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,221,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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.

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

 

1 The calculations are based on the Moderate Allocation Portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses for the most recent six-month period. The Moderate Allocation Portfolio’s annualized expense figure for that period
is 0.19%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted expense ratio for the underlying funds, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by
the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Moderate Allocation Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services since the portfolio’s inception in 2011, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Index Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Money Market Portfolio

For the half year ended June 30, 2014, the Money Market Portfolio returned a minuscule 0.05%, a result characteristic of a period in which the target for the federal funds rate has been between 0% and 0.25%.

While the portfolio’s return was small, it was a hair better than the 0.00% result of both the benchmark index and the peer group. The portfolio maintained a net asset value of $1 per share during the period, as is expected but not guaranteed. On June 30, the portfolio’s 7-day SEC yield was 0.10%, unchanged from six months earlier.

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 shares of the portfolio held indirectly through either Vanguard Variable Annuity or one of the other plans that invest in the portfolio could fall below $1.

Low costs and high quality are the portfolio’s foundation
The Federal Reserve has focused on stimulating the economy and stabilizing financial markets as the nation’s recovery from the recession and financial crisis has progressed. In addition to anchoring short-term interest rates near zero since December 2008, the Fed had embarked on an unprecedented bond-buying program, which it began gradually phasing out in January.

After the period’s close, minutes from the Fed’s June policy meeting indicated that the bond-buying program would end in October. The minutes also revealed much discussion but little certainty about the future of short-term interest rates. In March, Fed officials said it was “outdated” to tie interest rates to a 6.5% unemployment rate target. Instead, the Fed is now taking a more qualitative, comprehensive approach in evaluating various economic data, and several Fed officials indicated that they expected to start raising interest rates in 2015.

While low returns are undoubtedly frustrating for investors, the Money Market Portfolio’s advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, is committed to providing liquidity and safety by investing in the highest-quality instruments. Only holdings from top-tier issuers are considered, and our team of experienced credit analysts thoroughly examines every potential investment.

At period’s end, the Money Market Portfolio’s largest exposure was to Yankee/foreign issues (which constituted about 42% of assets). These securities are from highly rated foreign issuers, including governments and banks, and are denominated in U.S. dollars, eliminating currency risk. The portfolio continues to avoid financial paper from economically struggling southern Europe. Other significant categories of holdings included U.S. Treasury bills and notes (about 20%), U.S. government obligations (about 15%), U.S. commercial paper (about 10%), and U.S. certificates of deposit (about 9%).

For better results later, pull the savings lever now
We can’t control how the financial markets perform, but we can control how much we save. And it’s those savings that can most affect how much wealth we build. A Vanguard research paper found that “increasing the savings rate can have a substantially more positive impact on wealth accumulation than shifting to a more aggressive portfolio.” (You can read the full paper, Penny Saved, Penny Earned, at vanguard.com/research.)

There are a variety of ways to save effectively, and small shifts from spending to saving can make a meaningful difference. Perhaps the most important thing is to develop a savings mindset. As Warren Buffett said, “Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.”

7-Day SEC Yield. A money market portfolio’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions. An investment in a money market portfolio is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the portfolio. The portfolio’s SEC 7-day annualized yield as of June 30, 2014, 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. investment companies. 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. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

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

166


 

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio

4. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $130,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the portfolio’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the portfolio. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time. For the period ended June 30, 2014, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $637,000 (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 June 30, 2014, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 61% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

E. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

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

• Based on actual portfolio return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the portfolio’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Money Market Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,000.49 $0.30
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,024.50 0.30

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.06%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid”
are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the
most recent 12-month period. If certain fees were not voluntarily waived by Vanguard during the period, the annualized expense ratio would have been 0.16% and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical
examples above would have been $0.79 and $0.80, respectively.

Vanguard Money Market Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


 

Vanguard® REIT Index Portfolio

Real estate investment trusts bounced back strongly from a sluggish 2013, easily outperforming the broad U.S. market as lower interest rates boosted prospects for REITs. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio returned 17.53%, in line with its target index (17.68%) and slightly ahead of the average return of competing real estate funds (16.82%).

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

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.

As interest rates reversed course and declined, REITs rebounded
After rising in 2013, bond yields switched course in the first half of 2014. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note ended the period at 2.54%, down from 2.97% six months earlier. The drop in interest rates helped REITs rebound from their decline through the last three quarters of 2013.

Falling rates often help REITs. Because REITs are required to pay out at least 90% of their income as dividends to their investors, they rely heavily on the markets to raise cash to finance growth. That can help their profit margins when capital becomes less expensive. REITs’ dividends also compete for market attention with other income-generating investments, including bonds. When those other assets offer lower yields, the income generated by REITs can look more attractive, even though REITs, as equity investments, carry higher risks.

While all subsets of the REIT market rose by double digits, residential REITs led the way with a return of 23%. The improving job market, along with relatively tight credit conditions for home buyers, proved favorable for apartment building owners.

Office REITs also did particularly well, returning 19% as the commercial real estate market showed strength across many regions of the country. Retail REITs (17%) benefited from falling vacancy rates that allowed landlords to raise rents on choice properties.

Specialized REITs, the largest subset of the REIT market, also returned 17% as hotels, storage facilities, and health care properties continued to enjoy growing demand.

Industrial and diversified REITs, two of the smaller subsectors, recorded more modest returns.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, diminished across most of the U.S. stock market recently, and returns have been robust. In the more than five years since its March 2009 bottom, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, has produced average annual returns of about 26%. That’s more than double the market’s historical average annual return. Results for REITs have been comparable.

The investment winds don’t always blow so favorably, of course. While the smooth sailing lasts, however, it creates risks of its own: In such a calm climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing. Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so that it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with an asset mix that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, the one you intended to have.

Whether the market’s moving up, down, or sideways, we always encourage our clients to stay focused on four keys to Vanguard’s timeless principles for investment success: goals, balance, cost, and discipline. (You can read more about our principles in Vanguard’s Principles for Investment Success, available at vanguard.com/research.)

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

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

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

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

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. investment companies. 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

5. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

6. 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.

Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio

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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $85,000 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 June 30, 2014, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $800,134,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $49,865,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $105,898,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $56,033,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $126,734,000 of investment securities and sold $40,334,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 9,550 11,698
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 5,186 2,467
Redeemed (3,699) (12,147)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 11,037 2,018

 

At June 30, 2014, 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 56% 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 June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

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

• Based on actual portfolio return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the portfolio’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
REIT Index Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1

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

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.27%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are
equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most
recent 12-month period.

Vanguard REIT Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

Bonds with short-term maturities weren’t the favorites in the fixed income universe over the six months ended June 30, 2014. However, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio turned in a solid performance. The portfolio returned 1.66% for the period, in line with its benchmark index, the Barclays U.S. 1–5 Year Credit Bond Index, and ahead of the 0.97% average return of peer-group funds.

The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.44% on June 30, down from 1.54% six months ago, but up from 1.30% a year ago.

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

The advisor found opportunities among shorter-term issues
The investment environment for bonds over the six months ended June 30 was far different from the one that existed in calendar-year 2013, when yields rose and prices declined after the Federal Reserve announced that reductions were likely for its stimulative bond-buying program.

Bonds experienced several months of volatility and overall negative returns last year, and the Fed followed through on its plan and began winding down its purchases in January. (After the period’s close, the Fed revealed that the bond-buying program was likely to end in October.) Despite regular withdrawals of stimulus over the recent half year, in general, bond prices unexpectedly rose and yields drifted lower.

This trend, however, wasn’t as evident at the shorter end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, which flattened as yields of longer-dated bonds declined. The Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio holds many 2-year and 5-year notes; the yield of the 2-year note rose a bit, while the 5-year yield declined slightly. Against this backdrop, short-term bonds trailed their intermediate- and long-term counterparts as well as the overall bond market.

Still, the portfolio benefited from the decision of its advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, to emphasize mortgage-backed securities and issues from foreign agencies and supranationals, which are multinational organizations that provide financing and other services around the world. Favorable security selection among foreign agencies helped performance.

At the same time, the advisor’s conservative strategy restrained results. The Fixed Income Group historically maintains an allocation to short-term Treasury securities for liquidity purposes, and these holdings trailed the portfolio’s investment-grade bonds of comparable maturities.

For better results later, pull the savings lever now
Whether yields are going up or down, we can’t control how the financial markets perform, of course, but we can control how much we save. And it’s those savings that can most affect how much wealth we build. A Vanguard research paper found that “increasing the savings rate can have a substantially more positive impact on wealth accumulation than shifting to a more aggressive portfolio.” (You can read the full paper, Penny Saved, Penny Earned, at vanguard.com/research.)

There are a variety of ways to save effectively, and small shifts from spending to saving can make a meaningful difference. Perhaps the most important thing is to develop a savings mindset. As Warren Buffett said, “Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.”

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.

1 Barclays U.S. 1–5 Year Credit Bond Index.

3 30-day SEC yield for the portfolio; index yield assumes that all bonds are called or prepaid at the earlirst possible dates.

Performance Summary

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the portfolio. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or on the sale of portfolio shares. Nor do the returns reflect fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which a shareholder invests. If these fees and expenses were included, the portfolio’s returns would be lower.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio, a portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The portfolio’s shares are only available for purchase by separate accounts of insurance companies as investments for variable annuity plans, variable life insurance contracts, or other variable benefit insurance contracts. Certain of the portfolio’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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 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 and Options: The portfolio uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the portfolio loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the portfolio loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the portfolio trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the portfolio’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

204


 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 6% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Options on futures contracts are also valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of market values at each quarter-end during the period. The portfolio had no open options on futures contracts at June 30, 2014.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The portfolio enters 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swaptions: The portfolio enters 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.

205


 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

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 in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average value of swaptions purchased and swaptions written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of market values at each quarter-end during the period. The portfolio had no open swaptions contracts at June 30, 2014.

6. Swap Contracts: The portfolio invests 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 enters 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.

206


 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

The portfolio invests in cross-currency swaps to hedge the currency risk associated with investing in foreign securities. Under the terms of the swaps, the parties exchange a series of payments calculated on the basis of a fixed rate applied to a notional amount, on specified dates and in a specified currency. Additionally, currency amounts are exchanged by the counterparties at the initiation of the contract, with an agreement to reverse the exchange of the currency amounts upon termination of the contract.

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

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the portfolio (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the portfolio) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the portfolio and, in a physically settled swap, the portfolio may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the portfolio. The portfolio’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the portfolio under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the portfolio’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the portfolio if the portfolio is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the portfolio has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

The portfolio enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average total amount of interest rate swaps represented 4% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

7. 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the portfolio’s financial statements.

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

207


 

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

9. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

10. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $123,000 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

At June 30, 2014, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $179,000 in connection with open swap contracts and forward currency contracts.

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,191,089,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,655,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $14,525,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,870,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $313,635,000 of investment securities and sold $269,518,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $223,558,000 and $199,469,000, respectively.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

About Your Portfolio’s Expenses

As a shareholder of the portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a portfolio’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the portfolio.

A portfolio’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your portfolio and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

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

• Based on actual portfolio return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the portfolio’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the portfolio. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your portfolio under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your portfolio’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the portfolio had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the portfolio’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your portfolio’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the portfolio for buying and selling securities. The portfolio’s expense ratio does not reflect additional fees and expenses associated with the annuity or life insurance program through which you invest.

The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,016.62 $1.00
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.80 1.00

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.20%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid”
are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the
most recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


 

Vanguard® Small Company Growth Portfolio

Small-company growth stocks, one of the market’s sweet spots in 2013, lost some of their luster in the first half of 2014. The Russell 2500 Growth Index returned 3.97%, compared with more than 7% for the Russell 1000 Index of larger companies. Held back by some underperforming selections, especially in information technology, Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio returned –1.07%, trailing 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.

Some larger sector holdings weighed on portfolio results
The contrast between the portfolio’s exceptionally strong results in 2013 and its weak start in 2014 highlights the markets’ all-too-common rotations in style and sector leadership. These cycles can make for a bumpy road for active managers seeking to outperform their benchmarks.

The advisors’ outsized commitment to information technology stocks, which are often considered “classic” growth stocks and made up about one-third of the portfolio’s average assets, paid off handsomely in 2013. This year, however, some communications equipment as well as internet software and services companies weighed on results. So, too, did some choices within the large health care and industrial sectors. In financials, however, the advisors steered clear of several stocks that declined.

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

The power of compounding can put time on your side
Although it’s important to know how your investments are doing, short-term performance isn’t what matters most. Don’t let a focus on recent results distract you from the long-term commitment you need to help achieve your goals.

To be sure, there are many aspects of investing success that you can’t control, overall market performance being the obvious example. But you can control how long you invest, and that allows you to harness the power of compounding—the snowball effect that occurs when your earnings generate even more earnings.

A simple example illustrates the benefits of the compounding that can potentially result from investing and then reinvesting your money over the long haul, putting time on your side. Suppose that you were able to put away $10,000 and earn 6% a year. (This is hypothetical; actual returns would likely be different and much less predictable.)

If you keep reinvesting the earnings (again, assuming a hypothetical return of 6% each year), after ten years your investment will have grown to almost $18,000. But if you are able to 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 Small Company Growth Portfolio

Advisors’ Report

The Small Company Growth Portfolio returned –1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, behind its comparative standards. The portfolio is managed by two independent advisors, a strategy that enhances diversification by providing exposure to distinct yet complementary investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.

The advisors, the amount and percentage of the portfolio’s assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. Each advisor has also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the six months and of the effect of this environment on the portfolio’s positioning. (Please note that the Granahan discussion refers to industry sectors as defined by Russell classifications, rather than by the Global Industry Classification Standard used elsewhere in this report.) These comments were prepared on July 10, 2014.

After a dip in January, the stock market continued the strong run of 2013 into March. Then, after reaching new highs, it gave back some of the gains as investors became nervous about geopolitical unrest. By June, the slide that had begun late in the first quarter reversed. U.S. employment rose robustly, and Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen stated that interest rates wouldn’t be raised any time soon. The market climbed higher and ended with a six-month gain. Energy stocks led the charge, as strength in the global economy and continued turmoil in the Mideast and Ukraine drove prices higher.

Overall, economic news remained better than expected. Positive indicators included growth in bank lending, an increase in hotel revenues, and a rise in manufacturing activity. That said, concerns remained regarding consumer confidence and spending.

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

Stock selection was weak across all sectors except consumer discretionary and financial services. Our pioneer and special situation holdings, particularly technology pioneers and health care special situations, hurt relative performance. We have been allocating funds from the pioneer category to special situations, and such rebalancing can be disruptive in the short term.

Technology and health care were some of the standouts last year, and they were vulnerable when the market began to discount high-multiple, typically pioneer, companies. We cut back in the pioneer category in the first months of the year, but not enough to help performance.

IP address automation provider Infoblox lowered estimates. In addition to a transition in the sales force, the CEO announced his resignation. However, we are holding our position, because we believe the company’s valuation reflects the worst case. It has little competition, and its product handles the increased complexity of IP addressing for employees bringing their own devices to work, as well as the IPV6 transition.

In health care, aesthetic treatment companies Zeltiq and Cynosure and special situation pharma firms Auxilium and West Pharmaceutical Services were all under pressure. The portfolio’s underweighting in the strongly performing energy sector also detracted.

Gentherm (consumer discretionary, special situation) was a strong contributor and the top absolute performer for the period. The provider of thermal control products for autos gained deeper market penetration and its margins increased because of operating leverage.

Despite the overall poor showing of the portfolio’s technology and health care sectors, Super Micro Computer and ATMI (the focus of a buyout) in technology, and Alkermes in health care, were among our best performers. Super Micro gained market share with its low-cost application-optimized servers used by Web 2.0 customers such as Facebook and Google. Alkermes’ strength resulted from successful Phase 3 trial results for its schizophrenia drug. The company intends to file a New Drug Application in the third quarter. We are holding our position as Alkermes continues to build its pipeline of drugs for related central nervous system disorders.

Earnings growth in the portfolio is improving and is significantly higher than that of the average Russell Index holding. Market valuations have come down; more specifically, they have come down in our portfolio. Our research analysts are examining and monitoring companies in their areas of expertise to ensure a selection of strong, innovative, growing firms across the three life cycles. The in-depth research and diversification by life cycle are significant parts of an investment process that has proven its merits over the long term.

U.S. equities continued their rise from very strong 2013 results as the broad U.S. stock market returned almost 7%. Large-capitalization stocks did better than smaller-caps, and value-oriented companies generally outperformed their growth counterparts. The U.S. equity market for the most part outpaced international markets, and emerging markets were ahead of developed markets.

Central banks continued their accommodative policies, and volatility in financial markets decreased. In the middle of June, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) registered 10.6, its lowest level in the last five years. Real estate and labor markets kept up their slow but consistent recovery. Although first-quarter GDP results were hampered by a difficult winter, growth expectations for the remainder of the year and beyond were in the 2%–3% range. And bond credit spreads decreased to a level not seen since 2006, an indicator of risk-taking and optimism that can drive equity markets higher.

Performance in the Russell 2500 Growth Index was broad-based; nine out of ten sector groups generated positive returns. Results were best among energy and telecommunications companies; consumer discretionary was the only sector to deliver a negative result.

It’s important to understand how overall portfolio performance is affected by the macro factors described above; however, our approach to investing focuses on specific stock fundamentals. We seek to compare all stocks in our investment universe in the same industry groups in order to identify those with characteristics that we believe will allow them to outperform over the long run. To do this, we use a strict quantitative process that evaluates a combination of valuation and other factors focused on fundamental growth.

Using the results of our model, we then construct our portfolio with the goal of maximizing expected return and minimizing exposure to risks that our research indicates do not improve returns, such as market-capitalization and other risks relative to our benchmark.

Our model’s results over the six months were mixed. Stock selection was positive in five of the ten sectors, with the strongest results in information technology and consumer staples.

In information technology, Freescale Semiconductor, Zebra Technologies, and SunPower were the largest contributors to relative performance. In consumer staples, Pilgrim’s Pride, Keurig Green Mountain, and Rite-Aid drove our results. Unfortunately, we were not able to avoid all poor performers. Our selections in energy disappointed as Western Refining did not perform as expected. Seacor Holdings and nTelos in the telecommunication services sector lagged as well.

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. investment companies. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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 in the Statement of Net Assets for

227


 

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. 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 current 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 $286,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.18% of the portfolio’s average net assets, before an increase of $69,000 (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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $134,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.54% 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,299,351 208
Temporary Cash Investments 84,821 1,800
Futures Contracts—Assets1 246
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (5)
Total 1,384,413 1,800 208
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

E. At June 30, 2014, 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 September 2014 286 34,043 593

 

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’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,152,137,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $234,043,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $302,896,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $68,853,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $298,069,000 of investment securities and sold $306,230,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 3,958 9,456

Redeemed (5,266) (6,782)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 6,617 6,957

 

At June 30, 2014, 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 49% 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Small Company Growth Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $989.27 $1.97
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,022.81 2.01

 

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 0.40%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are
equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most
recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Small Company Growth Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Small Company Growth Portfolio has renewed the portfolio’s investment advisory arrangements with Granahan Investment Management, Inc. (Granahan), and The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Quantitative Equity Group. The board determined that renewing the portfolio’s advisory arrangements was in the best interests of the portfolio and its shareholders.

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

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

Granahan. Founded in 1985, Granahan uses fundamental research to select a portfolio of stocks with sustainable growth characteristics. The advisor achieves portfolio diversification through dedicated allocations to three life cycle-based categories of growth companies: core growth, companies with strong market position, based on proprietary products or services; pioneers, companies with unique technology or innovations; and special situations, companies with growth potential overlooked by the market. Granahan has advised the portfolio since its inception in 1996.

Vanguard. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Quantitative Equity Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth. Vanguard has managed a portion of the portfolio since 2008.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

Bond yields unexpectedly reversed course in 2014. They began heading higher in May 2013 at the prospect of the Federal Reserve scaling back its bond purchases. But the tide turned at the beginning of this year for all but the shortest-dated maturities. An array of factors contributed to yields drifting lower, including sputtering economic expansion, a continuation of loose monetary policy at home and abroad, and instability in some emerging markets that rekindled investors’ appetite for bonds in general, especially those offering more yield.

The Total Bond Market Index Portfolio returned 3.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. That performance was roughly in line with the 3.86% return of its benchmark index and the 3.89% average return for its peer group, which includes actively managed 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.

The portfolio’s 30-day SEC yield fell to 1.98% on June 30, 2014, compared with 2.07% six months earlier.

Bonds yields moved lower, defying market expectations
The past half year serves as an example of how holding steady with your investments can work out better than trying to time the markets. Investors who exited the bond market in the second half of 2013 or sought safety in short-term maturities in anticipation of the Fed’s tapering of its purchases missed out on the strong recovery that began early this year, among longer-dated bonds in particular.

In this environment, corporate bonds returned well over 5% for the half year. The bonds of financial institutions, which have had a strong run of late, underperformed those issued by utilities and industrial companies this time around. And investors proved willing to take on the higher risk associated with lower-rated bonds because of their accompanying higher coupons.

U.S. Treasuries, which accounted for more than one-third of the index, posted a more modest return of close to 3% for the half year. Government mortgage-backed securities, another heavyweight sector in the portfolio, did better, returning about 4%.

For better results later, pull the savings lever now
We can’t control how the financial markets perform, of course, but we can control how much we save. And it’s those savings that can most affect how much wealth we build. A Vanguard research paper found that “increasing the savings rate can have a substantially more positive impact on wealth accumulation than shifting to a more aggressive portfolio.” (You can read the full paper, Penny Saved, Penny Earned, at vanguard.com/research.)

There are a variety of ways to save effectively, and small shifts from spending to saving can make a meaningful difference. Perhaps the most important thing is to develop a savings mindset. As Warren Buffett said, “Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.”

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.” 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. investment companies. 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. 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.

274


 

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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the portfolio is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The portfolio mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The portfolio may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the portfolio may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the portfolio under the master netting arrangements.

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 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 Assets and Liabilities.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $247,000 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).

The following table summarizes the market value of the portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 1,571,500
Asset-Backed/Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities 72,937 363
Corporate Bonds 629,110
Sovereign Bonds 142,947
Taxable Municipal Bonds 25,196
Temporary Cash Investments 157,210
Total 157,210 2,441,690 363

 

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,507,158,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $92,105,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $101,899,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $9,794,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $121,771,000 of investment securities and sold $52,637,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $1,083,304,000 and $1,067,069,000, respectively.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 21,854 24,044

Redeemed (16,888) (49,447)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 10,667 (17,609)

 

At June 30, 2014, one shareholder, an insurance company separate account whose holdings in the portfolio represent the indirect investment of Vanguard Variable Annuity contract holders, was the record or beneficial owner of 51% of the portfolio’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the portfolio, the redemption might result in an increase in the portfolio’s expense ratio or cause the portfolio to incur higher transaction costs.

G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to June 30, 2014, 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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Total Bond Market Index Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1

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

 

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The portfolio’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.19%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid”
are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the
most recent 12-month period.

Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio returned 6.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as U.S. stocks overcame a rough start to finish the half year near record highs. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (6.96%) and ahead of the average return of peer funds (5.70%).

As a “fund of funds,” the Total Stock Market Index Portfolio seeks to capture the returns of its target benchmark by investing about 80% of its assets in the Equity Index Portfolio of Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund and about 20% in Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund. Because of the Equity Index Portfolio’s heavy weighting, you may wish to review that portfolio’s financial statements, which are included in this report.

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

All market segments contributed to the portfolio’s advance
Market optimism carried into 2014 as investors anticipated that the U.S. economy’s slow growth would still support a rise in corporate profits. Mid-capitalization stocks surpassed their large- and small-cap counterparts, and value stocks trumped growth, but all joined in the market’s solid showing. And while some industry sectors performed better than others, they all posted positive results.

The technology sector was a leading contributor to returns, as some of the nation’s largest hardware, software, semiconductor, and internet companies thrived. Global demand for the internet and smartphones has translated into revenues and profits for companies with the resources and business plans to execute both at home and abroad. The growth of cloud-based computing has also boosted the sector, and an expected increase in the electronic content of cars and industrial products has benefited the volatile semiconductor group.

Health care stocks also excelled. The biotechnology subsector held up despite concerns earlier in the period that certain firms were overvalued. Having productive drug pipelines and few projected patent expirations helped biotech and pharmaceutical giants. And health care providers did well, despite unease about the effects of regulation on the managed care industry.

Energy was another strong performer. Oil and gas producers were boosted by strong demand for natural gas during the severe U.S. winter, geopolitical tensions that triggered higher prices, and growing reliance on oil in the developing world. Rising natural gas prices also bolstered the small utilities sector.

Financials, the portfolio’s largest sector, returned about 5%. Strong gains by real estate investment trusts (REITs) and a few banks offset some weakness in consumer finance and investment services.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, seems to have vanished for the moment, and returns have been robust. In the more than five years since its March 2009 bottom, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, has produced average annual returns of about 26%. That’s more than double the market’s historical average annual return.

The investment winds don’t always blow so favorably, of course. While the smooth sailing lasts, however, it creates risks of its own: In such a calm climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing. Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so that it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with a mix of assets that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, the one you intended to have.

Whether the market’s moving up, down, or sideways, we always encourage our clients to stay focused on four keys to Vanguard’s timeless principles for investment success: goals, balance, cost, and discipline. (You can read more about our principles in Vanguard’s Principles for Investment Success, available at vanguard.com/research.)

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.

annualized acquired fund fees and expenses were 0.17%.

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 Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

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. investment companies. 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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and borne by the funds in which the portfolio invests (See Note B). Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

5. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the portfolio. The service agreement provides that the portfolio’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the portfolio. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the portfolio during the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, 100% of the market value of the portfolio’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,079,863,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $232,117,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Total Stock Market Index Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1
Based on Actual Portfolio Return $1,000.00 $1,068.57 $0.87
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,023.95 0.85

 

1 The calculations are based on the Total Stock Market Index Portfolio’s acquired fund fees and expenses for the most recent six-month period. The Total Stock Market Index Portfolio’s annualized expense figure for
that period is 0.17%. 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 Total Stock Market Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vanguard® Equity Index Portfolio

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio returned 7.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as U.S. stocks overcame a rough start to finish the half year near record highs. The portfolio’s performance was in line with that of its benchmark index (7.14%) and better than the average return of peer funds (6.31%).

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

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

Technology and health care stocks did best as all sectors advanced
Investors looked beyond obvious challenges during the six months—such as the U.S. economy’s contraction in the first quarter, rising oil prices, and the World Bank’s reduced estimate for 2014 global growth. Instead, they focused on positives that included lower U.S. unemployment and strong corporate earnings.

All ten industry sectors in Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio advanced, with information technology, health care, and energy stocks contributing the most.

Information technology, the portfolio’s largest sector, benefited from strong results posted by hardware, software, and internet companies. Global demand for smart-phones and internet-related products and services, along with continued growth of cloud-based computing, helped the sector return about 9%.

Health care stocks returned nearly 11% as investor concerns about the Affordable Care Act began to ease. Pharmaceutical firms did well amid enthusiasm over promising drug pipelines.

Energy was also a strong contributor, gaining 13%. Oil and gas producers were boosted by demand for natural gas arising from the severe U.S. winter, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and growing reliance on oil in the developing world. Rising natural gas prices also boosted utilities, the second-smallest sector but the one with the portfolio’s highest return (19%).

The consumer discretionary sector was the weakest performer, returning less than 1%. Media companies, hotels, and restaurants did fairly well, but retailers struggled as consumers kept a tight grip on their wallets.

Don’t let complacency set your course adrift
Volatility, a hallmark of stock investing, seems to have vanished for the moment, and returns have been robust. In the more than five years since its March 2009 bottom, the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, has produced average annual returns of about 26%. That’s more than double the market’s historical average annual return.

The investment winds don’t always blow so favorably, of course. While the smooth sailing lasts, however, it creates risks of its own: In such a calm climate, it can be easy to lose sight of fundamentals, especially the importance of rebalancing. Without rebalancing—periodically adjusting your asset allocation so that it stays in line with your goals and risk tolerance—you can end up with a mix of assets that’s very different from, and potentially riskier than, the one you intended to have.

Whether the market’s moving up, down, or sideways, we always encourage our clients to stay focused on four keys to Vanguard’s timeless principles for investment success: goals, balance, cost, and discipline. (You can read more about our principles in Vanguard’s Principles for Investment Success, available at vanguard.com/research.)

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

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

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

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

1 S&P 500 Index.
2 Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Float Adjusted Index.
3 30-day SEC yield for the portfolio; annualized dividend yield for the indexes.
4 Annualized.
5 The expense ratio shown is from the prospectus dated April 30, 2014, and represents estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the annualized expense ratio was 0.16%.
6 The holdings listed exclude any temporary cash investments and equity index products.

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 Index Portfolio

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. investment companies. The portfolio consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the portfolio’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The portfolio uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The portfolio may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The portfolio may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks 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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 for the period ended June 30, 2014, 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 lends 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

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

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 in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Credit Facility: The portfolio and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the portfolio’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the portfolio’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the portfolio’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The portfolio had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The portfolio has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2014, the portfolio had contributed capital of $342,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the portfolio’s net assets and 0.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The portfolio’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 June 30, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 3,362,939
Temporary Cash Investments 24,810 1,600

D. At June 30, 2014, 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

E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2014 6 586
        270

 

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

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

At June 30, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,495,330,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $894,019,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,068,049,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $174,030,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the portfolio purchased $135,859,000 of investment securities and sold $150,873,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

At June 30, 2014, 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 31% or more of the portfolio’s net assets, with a combined ownership of 65%. 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 June 30, 2014, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Vanguard Equity 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.

Equity Index Portfolio 12/31/2013 6/30/2014 Period1

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

 

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

Vanguard Equity Index Portfolio

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 177 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.
