The Portfolio invests primarily in high-quality, short-term money market instruments, including certificates of deposit, banker’s acceptances, commercial paper, Eurodollar and Yankee obligations, and other money market securities, including securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The Portfolio invests more than 25% of its assets in the financial services industry (i.e., issuers principally engaged in providing financial services to consumers and industry), which includes securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), and the Federal Home Loan Banks.

Prospectus Text Changes
The following replaces the “Principal Investment Strategies” section:
The Portfolio invests primarily in high-quality, short-term money market instruments, including certificates of deposit, banker’s acceptances, commercial paper, Eurodollar and Yankee obligations, and other money market securities, such as securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. To be considered high quality, a security must be determined by Vanguard to present minimal credit risk based in part on a consideration of maturity, portfolio diversification, portfolio liquidity, and credit quality. The Portfolio invests more than 25% of its assets in securities issued by companies in the financial services industry. The Portfolio maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less.
