Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Despite persistent volatility in the global financial markets, U.S. stocks posted strong results for the six months ended February 29, 2012. Vanguard Explorer Value Fund returned 12.52% for the period, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, by about half a percentage point, but lagging the average return of its peers.

The fund’s holdings in financials, industrials, and information technology were the largest contributors to overall returns. The advisors’ strong stock selection within industrials and technology also boosted the fund’s performance relative to the index. Holdings in telecommunication services and energy weighed on the fund’s performance, both on an absolute basis and in comparison to its benchmark.

Notes of optimism propelled stock prices higher
U.S. stocks produced a strong return of 13.18% over the period. That statement is true enough, but the headline figure obscures the volatility that has been perhaps the most prominent feature of the financial markets over the past six months and indeed the past few years.

If the six-month period had started a month earlier, for example, the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index would have returned just 1.97%. A start date two months earlier would have put the six-month return at –5.18%.

In the six months through February, however, stock prices benefited from signs of acceleration in the U.S. economic expansion and hope that the European Union’s latest agreement on Greek debt would help to contain a threat that has menaced global markets for much of the past two years. European stocks rallied on the news about Greece, but international stocks still trailed their U.S. counterparts for the full six months.

Bonds’ strength confounded expectations
Bonds produced solid returns, to the surprise of many long-time observers of the fixed income markets. At the start of the period, the yield of the 10-year U.S.

Treasury note stood at 2.22%, suggesting that returns would be very modest by historical standards. Over the next six months, however, yields moved lower still, boosting bond prices, which move in the opposite direction. At the end of February, the yield of the 10-year Treasury note stood at 1.98%. As yields decline, obviously, the scope for continued declines—and price increases—diminishes. Municipal bonds performed even more strongly than the broad taxable market.

The returns for 3-month Treasury bills and other money market instruments remained near 0%, consistent with the Federal Reserve’s policy on interest rates.

Strong returns in several sectors drove returns
Vanguard Explorer Value Fund invests in small- and midsized companies that, in the opinion of the fund’s advisors, are undervalued by the market. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks faced some weakness early in the reporting period, but later rallied to end the six months with double-digit returns. In this environment, the fund produced a return of almost 13%.

The fund’s holdings in the financial sector added the most to its overall performance for the half-year. After being battered by the European debt crisis and regulatory concerns during much of last year, financial stocks rebounded strongly during the period. Banks and insurance companies drove returns, but strength was evident in many areas of the sector amid signs of improving investor sentiment.

Industrial and information technology stocks also added significantly to the fund’s overall returns. In the industrial sector, professional services and rail and road companies led the way, while electronic equipment and software companies were the top performers within technology. The fund also benefited from notable returns in the consumer discretionary, materials, and health care sectors.

On a relative basis, the fund’s industrial and technology holdings added most to performance for the half-year. The advisors’ strong stock selection in these two sectors provided the fund with a significant boost over its benchmark.

Telecommunication services and energy were the only areas of the market in which the fund posted negative results for the period. Poor stock selection within telecom—which accounted for less than 2% of the fund’s holdings, on average, during the period—weighed most heavily on the fund’s performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to the benchmark.

In good times and bad times a balanced portfolio is key
As the volatility in the financial markets persists, we continue to believe investors are best served by maintaining a diversified, balanced investment plan. In strong markets, the equity portion of a balanced portfolio can offer investors the opportunity for long-term growth. In more volatile times, bonds and short-term investments can help provide a cushion from dramatic swings in the stock market.

For these reasons, Vanguard encourages you to create a long-term investment plan that includes a mix of large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks, bonds, and short-term investments appropriate for your time horizon and risk tolerance.

By providing broad exposure to small-and mid-cap value stocks, Explorer Value Fund can play an important role in a well-balanced portfolio. And the fund’s low costs can help you keep more of the returns produced by the fund’s advisors.

As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisors’ Report

For the half-year ended February 29, 2012, Vanguard Explorer Value Fund returned 12.52%. Your fund is managed by three independent advisors, a strategy that enhances the fund’s 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 fund assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. The advisors have also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the half-year and of how their portfolio positioning reflects this assessment. These comments were prepared on March 16, 2012.

Through the summer and fall of 2011, the stock market remained volatile as investors worried about the European sovereign debt crisis. However, early in 2012 the market strengthened as concerns about Europe subsided to some degree, while investors gained confidence about the prospects for the U.S. economy.

Our portion of the fund benefited from stock selection, while sector allocation had an approximately neutral effect. Stock selection was particularly strong within the producer durables, materials and processing, and health care sectors.

During the period, the portfolio’s ten best-contributing stocks were spread over four sectors and included seven producer durables companies and one stock each in technology, health care, and materials and processing.

The portfolio’s best-contributing stock was On Assignment, a diversified professional staffing firm focused on highly skilled labor, such as engineers, nurses, and physicians. The stock added approximately 140 basis points to performance. (One basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point.) During the period, the company reported results that exceeded consensus revenue and earnings expectations. Demand was particularly strong for the company’s information technology and engineering professionals.

The portfolio’s ten largest detractors were also spread over four sectors and included three holdings each in producer durables and materials and processing, and two stocks each in energy and consumer discretionary. The largest single detractor during the period was Comstock Resources, a producer of natural gas and, to a much lesser extent, crude oil. During the period, natural gas prices weakened significantly, which caused downward revisions to the company’s earnings prospects. We continue to maintain a position in the stock, since part of the decline in natural gas prices was related to temporary weather conditions. Furthermore, the stock is inexpensive and management has been increasing the company’s exposure to crude oil, which has maintained steadier prices and offers more attractive economics.

During the period, we bought 12 new stocks and sold 11 holdings. The purchases and sales were each spread over six sectors. The net effect was a small increase in the number of financial and energy stocks and a slight reduction in health care and consumer discretionary companies. As is typical for Frontier, the changes were made because of company-specific reasons rather than top-down positioning.

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, domestic equities posted strong returns. Prospects for 2012 brightened amid signs of strengthening domestic economic growth and a strong rebound in consumer confidence. However, economic challenges persisted overseas with an imminent recession in Europe and domestically as a result of the dysfunctional U.S. political situation and the drag created by a slowdown in government spending at all levels.

Relative performance was hurt by stock selection in the industrial and information technology sectors and the drag from holding residual cash in a strong market. Specifically, shares of InterDigital, an intellectual property-based business model, fell after the strategic process it entered into during the summer did not result in a sale of the company and its valuable patent portfolio.

Contributors to relative performance included stock selection in the energy sector and an absence of the poorly performing utilities sector. Also, shares of Nelnet, a student loan servicer and legacy student loan portfolio, performed strongly because of low interest rates and opportunistic redeployment of the company’s strong free cash flow.

Our investment outlook remains cautiously optimistic—cautious because of an imminent recession in Europe, political headwinds in the United States, and a continued drag in government spending at all levels. We’re optimistic because U.S. economic growth is strengthening and strong demand from emerging markets, record corporate cash, and a rebound in mergers and acquisitions activity should support corporate earnings growth.

Meanwhile, inflation is tame and interest rates are likely to remain very low for the foreseeable future. As business confidence and credit markets have continued to improve, our corporate managements have been active in utilizing their free cash flow and debt capacity to make accretive acquisitions and share repurchases. These actions will benefit 2012 results and also bode well for the future.

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, U.S. domestic small- and mid-cap securities posted strong gains and recovered nicely from the 2011 summer sell-off. During the period, our technology

8


 

and consumer discretionary holdings produced gains that outpaced the index, while our portfolio’s energy exposure detracted from performance. Negative stock selection within the utility sector proved to be the biggest drag on portfolio performance.

Technology companies broadly benefited from a rebound in IT spending following a Europe-induced slowdown in mid-2011. Axcelis Technologies experienced improved booking activity as semiconductor demand recovered. NetScout Systems recovered from past earnings disappointments and reported strong earnings that benefited from heightened wireless network demand. Although not experiencing real accelerating revenue growth, CA Technologies’ shares were boosted by its board’s decision to return significant cash to shareholders by increasing both share repurchases and dividend payments.

Improving capital allocation strategies also benefited consumer discretionary holding Meredith Corporation, which increased its dividend 50% (to yield 5%), supported by the company’s strong free cash flow. Elsewhere in the consumer discretionary sector, improving consumer spending supported gains by retailers HHGregg and Kirkland’s.

The energy sector detracted from performance largely because of the weak performance of EXCO Resources. Natural gas prices have fallen significantly over the past few months, which pressured the values of all producers of this commodity. Within the utility sector, the portfolio’s largest position remains NII Holdings, a wireless telecommunications provider in both Mexico and Brazil. Currency fluctuations and increased competition have challenged this company but valuation remains very compelling and supports continued portfolio ownership.

Free cash flow yields remain broadly attractive within the small- and mid-cap domestic universe. Financial flexibility exists for many firms to initiate capital allocation strategies structured to enhance shareholder returns via share repurchase, dividend increases, or mergers and acquisitions. We are optimistic that the portfolio will benefit from this scenario, as our holdings generally have strong balance sheets, which can help provide support for such initiatives.

Explorer Value Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Explorer Value Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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 fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

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

Explorer Value Fund

B. Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC, Cardinal Capital Management L.L.C., and Sterling Capital Management LLC each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fees for Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC, Cardinal Capital Management L.L.C., and Sterling Capital Management LLC are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance since May 31, 2010, relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index, Russell Mid-Cap Value Custom Cap-Range Index, and Russell 2500 Value Index, respectively.

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

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.35% of the fund’s average net assets, before an increase of $15,000 (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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $19,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 114,778
Temporary Cash Investments 8,476 500
Futures Contracts—Assets1 12
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (92)
Total 123,174 500
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

E. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-Mini Russell 2000 Index March 2012 57 4,617 458

 

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

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $112,863,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,891,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $16,728,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,837,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $20,974,000 of investment securities and sold $27,502,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

H. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:    
  Six Months Ended Year Ended
  February 29, 2012 August 31, 2011
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 586 2,748
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 275 57
Redeemed (823) (1,693)

I. In preparing the financial statements as of February 29, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

Based on actual fund 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 fund‘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 fund. 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 fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund 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 fund’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 fund’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 fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

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 fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

Six Months Ended February 29, 2012      
  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Explorer Value Fund 8/31/2011 2/29/2012 Period
Based on Actual Fund Return $1,000.00 $1,125.23 $3.12
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return 1,000.00 1,021.93 2.97

 

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.59%. 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Agreements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Explorer Value Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory agreements with Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C., Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC, and Sterling Capital Management LLC. The board determined that the retention of the advisors was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the fund’s investment management services since its inception in 2010, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of each advisor. The board noted the following:

Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C. Founded in 1995, Cardinal is an investment advisor that manages small- and mid-cap value portfolios. Cardinal employs a cash-flow-oriented investment process. Cardinal believes that a company’s stock price is ultimately determined by its ability to generate excess cash flow and redeploy that cash to enhance shareholder value. Cardinal has advised a portion of the fund since the fund’s inception.

Frontier Capital Management Co. LLC. Founded in 1980, Frontier is an investment advisor with a long history of investing in small- and mid-cap stocks. Frontier selects stocks by identifying companies that the advisor believes are underpriced relative to their long-term value. These companies generally are inexpensive in many ways, including price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. Frontier has advised a portion of the fund since the fund’s inception.

Sterling Capital Management LLC. Founded in 1970, Sterling uses a value-oriented strategy that seeks to identify stocks of quality companies selling at large discounts compared with the underlying value of the business. Sterling defines quality companies as those that generate considerable cash flow, offer reinvestment opportunities with attractive returns, and enjoy competitive advantages in their business sector. Sterling has advised a portion of the fund since the fund’s inception.

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

Investment performance
The board considered the fund’s performance since its inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of a relevant benchmark and peer group. The board concluded that each advisor has carried out the fund’s investment strategy in a disciplined fashion, and the performance results have allowed the fund to remain competitive versus its benchmark and peer group. Information about the fund’s performance since inception can be found in the Performance Summary section of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that the fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the fund’s advisory fee rate was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the fund’s expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements section, which also includes information about the fund’s advisory fee rate.

24


 

The board did not consider profitability of the fund’s 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’s-length negotiations.

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the fund’s shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fees as the fund’s assets managed by each advisor increase.

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

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’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 fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’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 fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). 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 fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

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

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

26


 

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 179 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Vanguard Russell 1000 Index Funds produced strong returns as a late rally more than made up for losses early in the period.

All three funds closely tracked their benchmark indexes. The Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund delivered the highest return, 13.70% for its Institutional Shares, as growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts by a modest margin. The Russell 1000 Value Index Fund returned 12.81% for the same share class, and the Russell 1000 Index Fund, which encompasses the growth and value market segments, fell between with a return of 13.26% for its Institutional Shares.

Notes of economic optimism propelled stock prices higher
U.S. stocks produced a strong return of 13.18% over the period. That statement is true enough, but the headline figure obscures the volatility that has been perhaps the most prominent feature of the financial markets over the past six months, and indeed the past few years. If our semiannual reporting period had started a month earlier, for example, the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index would have returned just 1.97%. A start date two months earlier would have produced a return of –5.18%.

In the six months through February, however, stock prices benefited from signs of acceleration in the U.S. economic expansion and from hope that the European Union’s latest agreement on Greek debt would help contain a threat that has menaced global markets for much of the past two years. European stocks rallied on the news about Greece, but international stocks still trailed their U.S. counterparts for the full six months.

The bond market’s strength confounded expectations
Bonds produced solid returns, to the surprise of many long­time observers of the fixed income market. At the start of the period, the yield of the 10­ year U.S. Treasury note stood at just 2.22%, suggesting that returns would be very modest by historical standards. Over the next six months, however, yields moved lower still, boosting bond prices, which move in the opposite direction. At the end of February, the yield of the 10­year T­note stood at 1.98%. As yields drop, obviously, the scope for continued declines—and price increases—diminishes. Municipal bonds performed even more strongly than the broad taxable market.

The returns for 3­month Treasury bills and other money market instruments remained near 0%, consistent with the Federal Reserve’s policy on interest rates.

Technology stocks led the parade as every sector posted gains
Representing nearly 1,000 of the nation’s largest publicly traded companies, the Russell 1000 Index encompasses the bulk of U.S. stock market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Growth and Value Indexes divide those stocks into traditional growth and value segments (with some overlap in their holdings). Each of our Russell 1000 funds seeks to track the performance of its respective benchmark, an objective met during the past six months by the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Equity Investment Group.

As I mentioned earlier, the Russell 1000 Growth Index had the best results among the three, as growth stocks did a bit better than value stocks. The rising tide of the recent market rally lifted all industries, and every sector notched a gain in all three funds. Information technology, the largest sector within the Russell 1000 Index Fund, was also the largest contributor to that fund’s performance. Tech stocks climbed during the half­year as hardware makers racked up strong sales of tablet computers and smartphones. Companies providing tech consulting, data processing, and outsourcing services also did well.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund benefited even more from the tech surge because IT, long a growth­stock stalwart, represented more than a quarter of the fund’s assets during the period. Tech stocks also performed well in the Russell

1000 Value Index Fund, but their contribution was less significant there because of the sector’s smaller presence among value stocks.

Consumer discretionary stocks and industrials also outperformed
The consumer discretionary sector was another strong contributor for all three funds, as cable and satellite giants, specialty retailers, and fast­food chains delivered double­digit returns. And, as the U.S. economic recovery seemed to regain traction, industrial stocks also powered forward. Companies within that sector, including manufacturers of heavy farm and construction machinery, industrial conglomerates, and aerospace and defense firms, posted impressive returns amid increased demand for heavy machinery and equipment.

For the Russell 1000 Value Index Fund, financial stocks—the fund’s largest sector, at about a quarter of assets during the period—were the biggest contributors. Commercial banks that weathered the 2007–2008 financial crisis and subsequent regulatory challenges were standouts. Insurance companies and asset managers also performed well.

To withstand short-term volatility, stay focused on your long-term goals
The tone of the stock market shifted dramatically during the fiscal half­year.

The swing in sentiment is perhaps a good

A note on expense ratios
The Expense Ratios table in the Chairman’s Letter displays fund expense ratios
from the most recent prospectus. These figures include the funds’ actual operating
expenses. The figures may also include “acquired fund fees and expenses,” which
result from the funds’ holdings in business development companies (BDCs).
 
Although the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that BDC costs be
included in a fund’s expense ratio, these fees are not incurred by the fund. They
have no impact on a fund’s total return or on its tracking error relative to an index.
A footnote to the Expense Ratios table reports an annualized calculation of the fund’s
actual expenses for the period, a more relevant tally of the operating costs incurred
by shareholders.

reminder of how quickly market conditions can change and how futile it is to try to predict short­term trends.

At Vanguard, we encourage you to stay focused on your long­term plan rather than on the market’s recent ups and downs. Maintaining a portfolio that includes a broadly diversified and steady combination of stocks, bonds, and cash investments consistent with your long­term goals and risk tolerance can help you to “stay the course” amid the kind of short­term turbulence we’ve seen in recent months.

It’s also important to stay diversified within an asset class, so that you maintain exposure to whichever investing styles are doing well at the moment. Any of Vanguard’s Russell 1000 Index Funds, with their low­cost, tax­efficient exposure to the large­ and mid­cap segments of the stock market, can be a useful component of a balanced investment portfolio.

Thank you for your confidence in Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Russell 1000 Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 1000 Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were first issued on October 15, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on September 20, 2010, and first offered to the public on September 22, 2010. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market

17


 

Russell 1000 Index Fund

Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

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

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $41,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 284,497
Temporary Cash Investments 982 100
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (7)
Total 285,472 100
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P 500 Index March 2012 11 751 47
S&P 500 Index March 2012 2 682 69

 

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

The fund realized losses of $2,104,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $264,635,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $20,944,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $27,184,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $6,240,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $121,312,000 of investment securities and sold $56,420,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Russell 1000 Value Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 1000 Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were first issued on December 10, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on September 20, 2010, and first offered to the public on September 22, 2010. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Russell 1000 Value Index Fund

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

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

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

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $49,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

Russell 1000 Value Index Fund

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 333,765
Temporary Cash Investments 186 200
Futures Contracts—Assets1 2
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (9)
Total 333,944 200
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
S&P 500 Index March 2012 1 341 36
E-mini S&P 500 Index March 2012 3 205 14

 

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 fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The fund realized losses of $1,286,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $309,613,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $24,538,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $30,443,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,905,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $124,907,000 of investment securities and sold $15,763,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were first issued on December 6, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on September 20, 2010, and first offered to the public on September 22, 2010. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

43


 

Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

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

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $70,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 488,511
Temporary Cash Investments 851 200
Futures Contracts—Assets1 5
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (16)
Total 489,351 200
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
S&P 500 Index March 2012 1 341 36
E-mini S&P 500 Index March 2012 2 136 (1)

 

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.

During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund realized $412,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

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

The fund realized losses of $3,108,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $447,489,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $42,073,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $49,253,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $7,180,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $241,024,000 of investment securities and sold $12,924,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

Based on actual fund 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 fund‘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 fund. 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 fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund 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 fund’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 fund’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 fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

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 fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Russell 1000 Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.12% for ETF Shares; for the Russell 1000 Value Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.15% for ETF Shares; and for the Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.15% for ETF Shares. 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.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’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 fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’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 fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). 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 fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

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

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

49


 

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 179 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Funds produced strong returns as a rally late in the period more than made up for losses in the early part of the fiscal half-year.

The Institutional Shares of Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund delivered the highest return of close to 13%, as growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts by a modest margin. Returns for the three funds’ ETF Shares (based on net asset values) ranged from 11.68% for the Russell 2000 Value ETF to 12.87% for the Russell 2000 Growth ETF. The Russell 2000 Index Fund, which combines the growth and value market segments, fell in between, returning 12.30% for the ETF Shares and 12.34% for the Institutional Shares. All three funds closely tracked their benchmark indexes.

Notes of economic optimism propelled stock prices higher
U.S. stocks produced a strong return of 13.18% over the period. That statement is true enough, but the headline figure obscures the volatility that has been perhaps the most prominent feature of the financial markets over the past six months and indeed the past few years. If the six-month period had started a month

earlier, for example, the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index would have returned just 1.97%. A start date two months earlier would have put the six-month return at –5.18%.

In the six months through February, however, stock prices benefited from signs of acceleration in the U.S. economic expansion and hope that the European Union’s latest agreement on Greek debt would help to contain a threat that has menaced global markets for much of the past two years. European stocks rallied on the news about Greece, but international stocks still trailed their U.S. counterparts for the full six months.

The bond market’s strength confounded expectations
Bonds produced solid returns, to the surprise of many long-time observers of the fixed income markets. At the start of the period, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note stood at just 2.22%, suggesting that returns would be very modest by historical standards. Over the next six months, however, yields moved lower still, boosting bond prices, which move in the opposite direction. At the end of February, the yield of the 10-year T-note stood at 1.98%. As yields drop, obviously, the scope for continued declines—and price increases—diminishes. Municipal bonds performed even more strongly than the broad taxable market.

The returns for 3-month Treasury bills and other money market instruments remained near 0%, consistent with the Federal Reserve’s policy on interest rates.

Tech stocks among the leaders as the markets rallied
The Russell 2000 Index, which includes nearly 2,000 of the nation’s smaller companies, encompasses the lion’s share of that market segment. The Russell 2000 Growth and Value Indexes divide those stocks into traditional growth and value segments. (There is significant overlap of holdings between the two.) Our three funds seek to track the performance of these respective benchmarks, an objective that the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Equity Investment Group, met over the past six months.

As I mentioned, the Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund notched the best results of the three as growth stocks did a bit better than value stocks. The rising tide of the recent market rally lifted all industries, as nearly every sector notched gains in all three funds. The only exception was the energy sector in the Russell 2000 Value Index Fund, which retreated minimally.

Information technology, the second-largest sector of the Russell 2000 Index Fund, was among the largest contributors to the fund’s performance. The tech sector outperformed the broader market as software makers racked up strong sales. Companies that provide tech consulting, data processing, and outsourced services also did well.

The fund expense ratios shown are from the prospectus dated December 29, 2011, and represent estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the funds’ annualized expense ratios were: for the Russell 2000 Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.15% for ETF Shares; for the Russell 2000 Value Index Fund, 0.20% for ETF Shares; and for the Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.20% for ETF Shares. The peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2011.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund benefited most from the tech surge because IT, long a growth stock stalwart, represented nearly a quarter of the fund’s assets, on average during the period. The tech industry performed similarly well in the Russell 2000 Value Index Fund, but the sector’s performance was not quite as significant because of its smaller presence among value stocks.

Consumer discretionary and industrials also outperformed
The consumer discretionary sector was also a strong contributor for all three funds, as specialty retailers, hotels, and restaurants delivered double-digit returns. As the U.S. economic recovery seemed to regain traction, industrial stocks also powered forward. Companies within the sector, including manufacturers of industrial, farm, and construction machinery, posted impressive returns amid increased demand.

The health care sector also produced outsized gains. In the Russell 2000 and Russell 2000 Growth Index Funds, smaller pharmaceutical companies and managed health care providers generated a strong boost to performance.

The Russell 2000 Value Index Fund posted slightly lower returns than its two counterparts. Financials, the fund’s largest sector weighting, which represented more than a third of the fund’s assets, on average, during the period, was by far the

A note on expense ratios
The Expense Ratios table in each report’s Chairman’s Letter displays fund expense
ratios from the most recent prospectus. These figures include the funds’ actual
operating expenses. For some funds, the figures also include “acquired fund fees
and expenses,” which result from the funds’ holdings in business development
companies (BDCs).
 
Although the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that BDC costs be
included in a fund’s expense ratio, these fees are not incurred by the fund. They
have no impact on a fund’s total return or on its tracking error relative to an index.
A footnote to the Expense Ratios table reports an annualized calculation of the fund’s
actual expenses for the period, a more relevant tally of the operating costs incurred
by shareholders.

biggest factor in the fund’s showing. Commercial banks and real estate investment trusts were the standouts.

Amid short-term volatility, focus on your long-term goals
The tone of the stock market shifted dramatically during the fiscal half-year. The swing in sentiment is perhaps a good reminder of how quickly market conditions can change and the futility of trying to predict short-term trends.

At Vanguard, we encourage you to stay focused on your long-term plan rather than on the market’s latest ups and downs. Maintaining a portfolio that includes a broadly diversified combination of stocks, bonds, and cash investments consistent with your long-term goals and risk tolerance is a proven way to “stay the course” amid the kind of short-term turbulence we’ve seen in recent months.

It’s also important to stay diversified within asset classes, so that you maintain exposure to whichever investing styles are in favor. Vanguard’s Russell 2000 Index Funds, with their low-cost exposure to the small-capitalization segment of the stock market, can be a valuable component of a balanced investment portfolio.

Thank you for your confidence in Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
March 20, 2012

Russell 2000 Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were first issued on December 22, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on September 20, 2010, and first offered to the public on September 22, 2010. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

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

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $24,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 233,610 1
Temporary Cash Investments 27,736 301
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (2)
Total 261,344 301 1
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

There were no changes in investments valued based on Level 3 inputs during the six months ended February 29, 2012.

D. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index March 2012 1 81 (2)

 

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 fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The fund realized losses of $974,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $255,060,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,588,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $16,563,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $9,975,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $119,828,000 of investment securities and sold $8,944,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

At February 29, 2012, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 26% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of February 29, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Russell 2000 Value Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. The fund has not issued any Institutional Shares as of February 29, 2012. ETF Shares were first issued on September 20, 2010, and first offered to the public on September 22, 2010. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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. 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

Russell 2000 Value Index Fund

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $2,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 12,003
Temporary Cash Investments 200
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (3)
Total 12,000 200
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index March 2012 2 162 16

 

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

31


 

Russell 2000 Value Index Fund

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

During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund realized $132,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The fund realized losses of $325,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,024,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,179,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,565,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $386,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $567,000 of investment securities and sold $6,019,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were first issued on May 25, 2011. ETF Shares were first issued on September 20, 2010, and first offered to the public on September 22, 2010. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $9,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

42


 

Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund

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

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

At February 29, 2012, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was 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 fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The fund realized losses of $1,318,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $46,678,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,922,200, consisting of unrealized gains of $6,634,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,712,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $24,028,000 of investment securities and sold $13,377,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

At February 29, 2012, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 48% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.

G. In preparing the financial statements as of February 29, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

Based on actual fund 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 fund‘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 fund. 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 fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund 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 fund’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 fund’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 fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

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 fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Russell 2000 Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.15% for ETF Shares; for the Russell 2000 Value Index Fund, 0.20% for ETF Shares; and for the Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.20% for ETF Shares. 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.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’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 fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’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 fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). 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 fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

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

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

47


 

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 179 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Buoyed by signs of a strengthening economy, U.S. stocks enjoyed robust gains for the six months ended February 29, 2012. Technology stocks were especially strong performers in what was a broad-based advance for domestic equities.

The Russell 3000 Index Fund, which provides exposure to the entire U.S. stock market, returned 13.10% for ETF Shares and 13.14% for Institutional Shares, closely tracking its benchmark index. (The ETF return cited is based on net asset value.)

Notes of economic optimism propelled stock prices higher
U.S. stocks produced a strong return of 13.18% over the period. That statement is true enough, but the headline figure obscures the volatility that has been perhaps the most prominent feature of the financial markets over the past six months and indeed the past few years. If our semiannual reporting period had started a month earlier, for example, the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index would have returned just 1.97%. A start date two months earlier would have produced a return of –5.18%.

In the six months through February, however, stock prices benefited from signs of acceleration in the U.S. economic expansion and from hope that the European Union’s latest agreement on Greek debt would help to contain a threat that has menaced global markets for much of

the past two years. European stocks rallied on the news about Greece, but international stocks still trailed their U.S. counterparts for the full six months.

The bond markets’ strength confounded expectations
Bonds produced solid returns, to the surprise of many long-time observers of the fixed income markets. At the start of the period, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note stood at just 2.22%, suggesting that returns would be very modest by historical standards. Over the next six months, however, yields moved lower still, boosting bond prices, which move in the opposite direction. At the end of February, the yield of the 10-year T-note stood at 1.98%. As yields drop, obviously, the scope for continued declines—and price increases—diminishes. Municipal bonds performed even more strongly than the broad taxable market.

The returns for 3-month Treasury bills and other money market instruments remained near 0%, consistent with the Federal Reserve’s policy on interest rates.

A broad-based rally notable for surging tech stocks
As I mentioned earlier, the fiscal half-year was an exceptionally strong period for stocks. All ten of the sectors that make up the Russell 3000 Index had positive returns, with technology stocks leading the way.

The technology sector benefited amid signs of strong spending by both consumers and businesses. Communication equipment manufacturers were among the sector’s stars. Internet, software, and computer companies also recorded double-digit returns, helped by the popularity of smart-phones and tablet computers and their peripheral products and services.

Consumer discretionary stocks, which like their technology counterparts are particularly sensitive to the rhythms of the business cycle, were also a standout. Signs that consumers were opening their wallets boosted the shares of everything from cable television companies to clothing retailers. The financial sector, which has been beset by a host of problems, rebounded. Bank stocks were especially strong, with investors apparently optimistic that lenders were getting past the lingering effects of mortgage defaults associated with the U.S. housing downturn.

Weak spots were conspicuous by their absence. Utilities and telecommunication services stocks produced the lowest returns, but their absolute gains were strong.

Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund succeeded in capturing nearly all of the returns of its target index. The fund’s performance is a reflection of the deep experience of Vanguard’s Equity Investment Group, the fund’s advisor,

which has spent more than 35 years developing and refining index-fund management strategies.

Stay focused on what you can control
In my letter to you in last year’s semi-annual report, I cautioned that strong results can’t be expected in every period. We’ve had another period of impressive returns, but the caution still very much applies. Indeed, as I discussed earlier, the double-digit gains recorded by U.S. stocks mask significant volatility.

You will perhaps recall that markets were roiled in the early fall by concerns over the European debt crisis as well as renewed worries about the U.S. economy. I note these challenges not to discourage you but as a way of helping set realistic expectations. We’re sure to experience stock downturns in the future, and when they occur, maintaining a long-term perspective is essential.

In addition to keeping a long-term view, it’s constructive to focus on two key elements of an investment plan: how much you’re investing and how long you’re investing for. This point was underscored by a recent Vanguard research paper (Penny Saved, Penny Earned, available at vanguard.com/ research.) The study found that retirement investors have a greater likelihood of reaching their goals if they increase their savings rate and savings time horizon. Those two factors, independently or together, can generally provide a higher

A note on expense ratios
The Expense Ratios table in each report’s Chairman’s Letter displays fund expense
ratios from the most recent prospectus. These figures include the funds’ actual
operating expenses. For some funds, the figures also include “acquired fund fees
and expenses,” which result from the funds’ holdings in business development
companies (BDCs).
 
Although the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that BDC costs be
included in a fund’s expense ratio, these fees are not incurred by the fund. They
have no impact on a fund’s total return or on its tracking error relative to an index.
A footnote to the Expense Ratios table reports an annualized calculation of the fund’s
actual expenses for the period, a more relevant tally of the operating costs incurred
by shareholders.

chance of success than simply counting on the possibility of higher portfolio returns, the study’s authors concluded.

As always, Vanguard encourages you to create a long-term investment plan that includes a mix of stocks, bonds, and short-term investments that are appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. A well-balanced portfolio can help cushion some of the market’s volatility while allowing you to participate in its long-term potential for growth. The Russell 3000 Index Fund, which provides broadly diversified, low-cost exposure to the entire U.S. stock market, can be a building block in such a portfolio.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
March 20, 2012

Russell 3000 Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund 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 fund’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. 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year ended August 31, 2011, and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $13,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 87,174
Temporary Cash Investments 200
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (2)
Total 87,172 200
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At February 29, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized

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 fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The fund realized losses of $1,436,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable gains, if any, realized during the year ending August, 31, 2012; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $80,355,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,019,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $8,628,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,609,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $31,026,000 of investment securities and sold $8,825,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

Based on actual fund 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 fund‘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 fund. 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 fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund 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 fund’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 fund’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 fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

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 fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

  Beginning Ending Expenses
  Account Value Account Value Paid During
Russell 3000 Index Fund 8/31/2011 2/29/2012 Period
Based on Actual Fund Return      
Institutional Shares $1,000.00 $1,131.42 $0.42
ETF Shares 1,000.00 1,131.03 0.79

Institutional Shares $1,000.00 $1,024.47 $0.40
ETF Shares 1,000.00 1,024.12 0.75

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.15% for ETF Shares. 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.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’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 fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’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 fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). 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 fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

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

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

21


 

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 179 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.

> For the six months ended February 29, 2012, Vanguard’s seven Sector Bond Index Funds posted returns ranging from just above zero for the Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund to more than 10% for the Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund.

> The three government funds, the Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund, and the Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund closely tracked their target indexes. The intermediate- and long-term corporate funds’ returns were less aligned with their indexes because of their sampling strategy and timing differences in end-of-day pricing.

> Corporate bonds significantly outperformed government bonds of comparable maturities, an indication that investors were willing to accept more risk.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Long-term bonds rallied in the six-month period ended February 29, 2012, eclipsing the results of their intermediate- and short-term counterparts. Corporate bonds outperformed government bonds of comparable maturities.

In this environment, Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund performed best, returning 10.74%. (All returns cited in this letter are for ETF Shares, based on net asset value.) At the other end of the spectrum was the Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund, which returned just 0.05%.

The three government bond funds, the Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund, and the Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund met their objective of closely tracking their target indexes. The intermediate- and long-term corporate bond funds didn’t track as closely; their returns exceeded those of their benchmarks by more than one-quarter of a percentage point.

This divergence, or tracking error, is typically caused by a fund’s sampling strategy and by timing differences in end-of-day pricing. For more information on this, please see the Investment insight box on page 8.

The 30-day SEC yields for all seven of the Sector Bond Index funds declined over the period.

Bonds’ strength confounded expectations
Bonds produced solid returns, to the surprise of many long-time observers of the fixed income markets. At the start of the period, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note stood at 2.22%, suggesting that returns would be very modest by historical standards. Over the next six months, however, yields moved lower still, boosting bond prices, which move in the opposite direction. At the end of February, the yield of the 10-year T-note stood at 1.98%. As yields decline, obviously, the scope for continued declines—and price increases—diminishes. Municipal bonds performed even more strongly than the broad taxable market.

The returns for 3-month Treasury bills and other money market instruments remained near 0%, consistent with the Federal Reserve’s policy on interest rates.

Notes of optimism propelled stock prices higher
U.S. stocks produced a strong double-digit return of 13.18% over the period. That statement is true enough, but the headline figure obscures the volatility that has been perhaps the most prominent feature of the financial markets over the past six months and indeed the past few years. If the six-month period had started a month earlier, for example, the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index would have returned just 1.97%. A start date two months earlier would have put the six-month return at –5.18%.

In the six months through February, however, stock prices benefited from signs of acceleration in the U.S. economic expansion and hope that the European Union’s latest agreement on Greek debt would help contain a threat that has menaced global markets for much of the past two years. European stocks rallied on the news about Greece, but international stocks still trailed their U.S. counterparts for the full six months.

Long-term bonds were the standouts
As I mentioned, investors favored bonds with longer-term maturities during the fiscal half-year, as reflected in the double-digit return of the Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund. The Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund also had an impressive result, returning 9.20%. For both funds, a rise in bond prices—reflected in their capital return—was the primary driver of total return. Of course, as bond prices rise, yields move in the opposite direction.

Long-term bonds have been the beneficiary of the Fed’s “Operation Twist” program of buying long-term Treasury bonds, boosting prices and driving down yields. The policy is expected to stimulate economic growth because long-term bond yields influence borrowing costs for both consumers and corporations.

Investors in search of yield probably contributed to the rally. Although long-term bond yields have fallen, they remain significantly above those of short- and intermediate-term bonds. The higher yields, however, also come with higher risk. Long-term bonds are especially sensitive to changes in interest rates; a jump in rates could lead to a sharp drop in bond prices.

Among short- and intermediate-term bonds, corporate issues produced strong returns while results for government bonds were more modest. Government bonds, which include Treasuries and agency debt, had been a popular safe haven for investors during the summer and early fall. At that time, the headlines were dominated by Europe’s debt crisis and the controversy over whether to raise the U.S. government’s debt limit. In late 2011 and early 2012, however, investor optimism displaced anxiety amid signs of a strengthening U.S. economy.

Improving sentiment worked to the benefit of corporate bonds. Their prices rose, and by the end of the period, the difference between their yields and those of comparable Treasuries had narrowed.

Short-term government bonds, in contrast, were stuck in neutral, producing negligible returns. The Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund’s meager income return was almost completely offset by a slight decline in prices. The Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund, meanwhile, returned 1.78%.

Staying diversified remains the sound choice
The performance of longer-term bonds over the past six months was impressive. A note of caution may be in order, however. With apparently little room for interest rates to move lower, there is less opportunity for the kinds of gains we’ve seen in recent years.

We do believe bonds will continue to play an important role in a balanced plan by dampening the volatility of more risky assets such as stocks. Individually or in combination, the Vanguard Sector Bond Index Funds can help you to maintain a diversified portfolio that is consistent with your investment goals, and to do so at a low cost.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
March 15, 2012

Investment insight
Why a bond index fund may stray from its benchmark
Most bond index funds use a sampling strategy designed to match the key risk
characteristics of their target indexes, because it would be very costly and impractical
to own all of the index’s bonds. As a consequence of this strategy, there can
occasionally be a notable difference between the index fund’s return and that of its
target benchmark, a divergence known as “tracking error.”
 
With Vanguard Fixed Income Group’s sophisticated sampling techniques and
robust risk controls, we expect Vanguard funds to have relatively low tracking
error over time.
 
Another source of tracking error can be timing differences in end-of-day pricing.
Vanguard prices its bond holdings daily at 4 p.m., while the Barclays Capital indexes
are priced at 3 p.m. If the bond market is volatile after 3 p.m., or the prices of even a
few bonds change significantly, our fund may appear to underperform or outperform
its target index. However, because bond prices tend to converge the next trading
day, this divergence is usually temporary.

Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. 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. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $34,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 223,594
Temporary Cash Investments 5,738
Total 5,738 223,594

 

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

During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund realized $29,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $228,517,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $815,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $872,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $57,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $116,394,000 of investment securities and sold $82,549,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. 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. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $33,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 243,538
Temporary Cash Investments 3,553
Total 3,553 243,538

 

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

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $237,157,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,934,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $10,006,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $72,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $108,548,000 of investment securities and sold $43,291,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. 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. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $22,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 153,351
Temporary Cash Investments 2,289
Total 2,289 153,351

 

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 fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at August 31, 2011, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $3,000 to offset future net capital gains through August 31, 2019. In addition, the fund realized losses of $2,065,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $141,854,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,786,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $13,920,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $134,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $76,192,000 of investment securities and sold $24,208,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

At February 29, 2012, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 36% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.

G. In preparing the financial statements as of February 29, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’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 offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses). There were no open futures contracts at February 29, 2012.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. 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. Fees assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

80


 

Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $394,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.16% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 14,782
Corporate Bonds 2,810,434
Temporary Cash Investments 13,286
Total 13,286 2,825,216

 

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

81


 

Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,787,262,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $51,240,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $53,096,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,856,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $1,195,235,000 of investment securities and sold $391,390,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $417,710,000 and $431,983,000, respectively.

F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’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 offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. 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. Fees assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

112


 

Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $212,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.08% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 8,399
Corporate Bonds 1,893,993
Taxable Municipal Bonds 755
Temporary Cash Investments 43,777
Futures Contracts—Assets1 139
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (97)    
Total 43,819 1,903,147

D. At February 29, 2012, 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)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note June 2012 113 13,919 (18)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note June 2012 (72) (9,429) 29

 

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

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,885,211,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $61,713,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $63,021,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,308,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $1,229,293,000 of investment securities and sold $169,806,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $366,310,000 and $363,578,000, respectively.

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 fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’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 offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. 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. Fees assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $78,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 12,344
Corporate Bonds 767,274
Taxable Municipal Bonds 611
Temporary Cash Investments 7,896
Futures Contracts—Assets1 129
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (151)    
Total 7,874 780,229
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At February 29, 2012, 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)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond June 2012 195 27,623 74
Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond June 2012 (159) (25,003) 74

 

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 fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at August 31, 2011, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $7,000 to offset future net capital gains through August 31, 2019. In addition, the fund realized losses of $546,000 during the period from November 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2012. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending August 31, 2012; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $751,197,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $36,928,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $37,600,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $672,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $510,807,000 of investment securities and sold $76,741,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $125,150,000 and $118,197,000, respectively.

At February 29, 2012, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 28% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.

H. In preparing the financial statements as of February 29, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

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

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

3. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund 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 fund 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 fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund 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 fund 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 fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations. This risk is mitigated by entering into mortgage dollar rolls only with highly rated counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring exposure to each counterparty.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)—Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The ASU takes effect for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Under the ASU, certain mortgage-dollar-roll transactions that previously would have been accounted for as purchases and sales may be accounted for as financing transactions. Treating these transactions as financing would have no impact on total return, but certain transactions that previously resulted in realized gains and losses would instead be reflected in net income and unrealized gains and losses. Management has concluded that treating the mortgage-dollar-roll arrangements entered into by the fund as purchases and sales continues to be appropriate.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2011), and for the period ended February 29, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

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 fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 29, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $24,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

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

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of February 29, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 163,874
Temporary Cash Investments 38,701
Total 38,701 163,874

 

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

At February 29, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $200,951,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,624,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,743,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $119,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, the fund purchased $336,034,000 of investment securities and sold $258,709,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

Based on actual fund 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 fund‘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 fund. 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 fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“

Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund 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 fund’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 fund’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 fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

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 fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’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 fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’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 fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.

Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.

Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays Capital using ratings generally derived from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating is shown.

Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.

Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.

Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.

Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 179 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.
