Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• Vanguard Explorer Value Fund returned more than 11% for the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, trailing the nearly 13% result for the benchmark Russell 2500 Value Index but exceeding the nearly 10% average return of its peer small-capitalization value funds.

• Value stocks outperformed their growth brethren for the period, and large-cap stocks topped mid- and small-caps. Seven of Explorer Value’s industry sectors recorded gains, six of them in double digits. Health care and consumer discretionary were the only sectors to decline.

• The fund advisors’ information technology and energy stocks performed especially well versus their benchmark counterparts. Although financial stocks added the most to Explorer Value’s absolute return, they lagged those in the benchmark. The fund’s consumer staples stocks returned more than 40%, but its light exposure to the sector limited the positive effect.

Chairman’s Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

Even as the global economy continued to expand at a slow but sustained pace over the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, a series of disquieting developments highlighted the importance for investors of remaining disciplined.

Chief among them was “Brexit”—the British public’s vote to exit the European Union—but plenty of others moved the markets as well. We saw sharp ups and downs in the prices of oil and other commodities, choppy U.S. job numbers, shifting expectations about when the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates again, and decreases in already negative yields for European and Japanese government bonds.

Beyond being the end of the fiscal period, August marked a milestone: 40 years since Vanguard introduced the first index mutual fund. In ways that are perhaps still not fully appreciated, indexing has vastly improved investing for individuals, advisors, and institutions all over the world. Later in this letter, I’ll discuss the revolution wrought by what was initially a little-heralded new fund from a fledgling outfit in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Brexit added another layer of uncertainty for investors

I think it’s fair to say that the momentous June 23 Brexit vote caught even the British off guard. Although we saw some market jitters in the run-up to the referendum, the unexpected outcome triggered a spike in

volatility worldwide. Stocks around the world lost 5%–10% in U.S. dollar terms in the first two trading sessions following the vote, with U.K. and European markets among the hardest hit; global bonds, though, headed in the other direction. It was a textbook illustration of the value of having a diversified portfolio.

That kind of volatility can push investors to “do something.” But some of the worst days in the stock markets are sometimes followed by some of the best—as happened at the end of June. Investors who scrambled to protect their portfolios by shedding stocks amid headlines warning of a global market meltdown may well have ended up locking in post-Brexit losses, then missing out on the strong rebound that took place just days later. Those headlines were noise that investors would have been better off tuning out. I’m pleased to say that Vanguard investors on the whole did just that—we continued to see cash flows into our funds in the days after the vote.

For the 12 months, stocks generally finished higher, with U.S. stocks up more than 11% and international stocks about 3% for U.S.-based investors.

In a surprise, bonds turned in a solid performance that few would have predicted a year ago. It seemed as if rates had fallen so far that they couldn’t go any lower, but many did. Central banks in a number of European countries and Japan set key monetary policy rates below zero.

These policies held down short-term rates, while more muted expectations for global growth and inflation weighed on longer-term rates.

Yields in the United States weren’t quite as low as in many developed countries. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate only once, in December, to a slim 0.25%–0.5%. Further out on the maturity spectrum, the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped in early July to a record low 1.36%, before moving back up a little to end the period at 1.58%. Over the 12 months, U.S. bonds returned about 6%, and international bonds returned even more—about 11%—for U.S.-based investors, again underscoring the markets’ unpredictability and the merits of diversification.

Over the years, many investors have embraced the pluses of indexing

Market upsets like Brexit aren’t rare occurrences. Fortunately, indexing has proved to be a durable behavioral tool to help keep investors from making bad financial decisions when upsets happen. In fact, this is one of indexing’s less appreciated benefits: Holding index funds as part of a broadly diversified portfolio can counterbalance that tendency to react to news headlines. When times are volatile, you’ll know you might have some exposure to a part of the market that has dropped, but also to other parts that may be holding up better.

Vanguard’s launch of the First Index Investment Trust, now Vanguard 500 Index Fund, initially met with a frosty reception. Its mandate to track the performance of a broadly diversified benchmark at a low cost seemed underwhelming to an investing public accustomed to funds that offered the chance to outperform. Investors have since come around, as experience has demonstrated the benefits of low costs and broad diversification.

Indexing accounted for about 30% of U.S. mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets at the end of 2015, according to the Investment Company Institute. Some now even proclaim the “triumph of indexing,” implying that it’s the only way to invest.

In our view, the rise of indexing has served to underscore an investment principle that long predates 1976: A long-term, low-cost, diversified approach gives investors the best chance for success. That’s true whether the investments you choose are indexed or actively managed—or both.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisors’ Report

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, Vanguard Explorer Value Fund returned 11.41%, behind the return of its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, but ahead of the average return of its small-capitalization value peers. Your fund is managed by two 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.

Please note that as of June, Sterling Capital Management LLC is no longer an advisor to the Explorer Value Fund. The assets formerly managed by Sterling have been allocated between Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC, and Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C.

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 12 months and of how their portfolio positioning reflects this assessment. (Please note that the Frontier discussion refers to industry sectors as defined by Russell classifications, rather than by the Global Industry Classification Standard used elsewhere in this report.) These comments were prepared on September 20, 2016.

Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC

Portfolio Managers: Thomas W. Duncan, Jr., Senior Vice President William A. Teichner, CFA, Senior Vice President

Our performance was primarily helped by strong stock selection and positive sector selection and driven by holdings in financial services, consumer discretionary, and technology.

The portfolio’s ten best contributors added, on average, about 90 basis points each to absolute performance. They comprised four financial stocks, two companies each from consumer discretionary and producer durables, one from materials and processing, and one from technology. The financial stocks consisted of two banks, an insurance firm, and a real estate investment trust.

The top contributor was Central Garden & Pet, a producer and distributor of products to the lawn and garden and pet supplies industries. The stock added about 140 basis points to performance. The company has met or exceeded consensus revenue and earnings estimates in recent quarters and has steadily increased its earnings outlook. It has benefited from organic revenue growth, acquisitions, improved operating profitability, its exit from a money-losing business, and lower interest expense.

Central Garden & Pet has been transformed since 2013, when John Ranelli became CEO and began focusing the company on product innovation, operational efficiency, increased shelf space in stores, and lowered expenses. Board member George Roeth was appointed CEO upon Mr. Ranelli’s retirement in June 2016.

We expect Mr. Roeth, who has many years of experience at consumer-related product companies, to continue on the firm’s path of solid execution.

The portfolio’s ten largest detractors trimmed, on average, about 50 basis points each from performance. They comprised two holdings each from producer durables, consumer discretionary, technology, and energy, along with one from health care and one from materials and processing.

The largest detractor was Celadon Group, a provider of truckload freight transportation, which hindered performance by about 80 basis points. Sluggish industry freight volumes and some pricing pressure have dampened the company’s earnings. Investors have also been concerned about the volatility and distraction of a noncore business that primarily sells used trucks. As a result, Celadon has refocused on improving profitability and transforming its ancillary business into one with a more consistent income stream less reliant on equipment sales.

In addition, new federal regulations that take effect late next year should benefit the company by tightening industry capacity. For safety reasons, these rules require commercial vehicles to install electronic

7


 

logging devices to help make sure that drivers do not exceed allowable hours of service. Less capable drivers and firms that do not comply would be forced to exit the industry.

We believe that Celadon stock, at $8 per share, is attractive. It sells at less than 70% of tangible book value and five times our estimate of potential earnings over the next several years. Historically, Celadon has traded at median multiples of nearly two times tangible book and 15 times earnings.

During the fiscal year, we bought 21 new stocks and sold 20 holdings. Our purchases were spread across six sectors, and our sales were across eight. The net effect was an increase in consumer discretionary, energy, materials and processing, and producer durables, and a reduction in health care, technology, and utilities. As is usual for the portfolio, the changes were for company-specific reasons, rather than sector positioning.

U.S. economic data were mixed during the fiscal year, although better than for most other developed economies.

Returns for small- and mid-capitalization stocks were volatile despite ending with double-digit gains.

In December, the Federal Reserve finally took its first step to normalize interest rates, raising the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage point. Although the move was well-telegraphed, equity markets corrected early in 2016; they then recovered and rose until U.K. voters, in the June “Brexit” referendum, chose to leave the European Union. Although Brexit surprised the markets and increased economic and political uncertainty, U.S. equities quickly recovered and continued to perform well despite concerns that Europe’s economic environment is likely to deteriorate and that growth rates in China are still slowing.

The primary relative detractors were stock selection in financials, information technology, and materials and a lack of holdings in utilities. Shares of Affiliated Managers Group, a global asset management holding company with investments in boutique asset managers, traded down on disappointing fund flows and issues at one of its firms. The stock price of ACI Worldwide, a developer of electronic payments-related software and services for financial institutions and retailers, declined after it missed earnings estimates as it migrates to more subscription sales. The share price of packaging company Silgan Holdings declined after it was outbid for the assets that had to be divested for competitor Ball to finish acquiring Rexam.

We have not found attractive utilities investments for many years because of a disparity between our high return objective and the returns permitted by regulators in a low interest rate world. Although the equity market highly values stable and growing dividends, utility stocks are now very levered to small rate movements with the attendant risks and rewards.

Our stock selection in and an underweighting of energy contributed to relative performance. Specifically, the stock price of fuel logistics provider World Fuel Services rose sharply on continued solid financial performance and its announcement that it was acquiring ExxonMobil’s international airport fuel operations.

For the balance of 2016, we expect U.S. growth to remain modest and inflation benign. Short-term U.S. interest rates are likely to edge up despite the uncertainty created by Brexit, as economic data—particularly U.S. employment figures—have been better than expected. Oil prices are likely to remain range-bound as supply continues to exceed demand despite slipping U.S. production. Although economic uncertainty rose after the Brexit vote, the impact has been less than feared; economic data have been better than expected, and equity markets around the world recovered their short-term losses quickly. Despite low oil prices and weak global economies, U.S. corporate earnings should grow modestly as energy prices and, to a lesser degree, the U.S. dollar shift from headwinds to tailwinds.

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. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The 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, 2013–2016), 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.

19


 

Explorer Value Fund

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

B. The investment advisory firms Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC, and Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C., 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 fee of Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC, is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index for the preceding three years. The basic fee of Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C., is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the Russell Mid-Cap Value Custom Cap-Range Index for periods prior to March 1, 2015, and the new benchmark,

20


 

Explorer Value Fund

Russell 3000 Value Custom Index, beginning March 1, 2015, for the preceding three years. The new benchmark will be fully phased in by February 2018. Until the end of May 2016, a portion of the fund was managed by Sterling Capital Management LLC . The basic fee paid to Sterling Capital Management LLC was subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the Russell 2500 Value Index for the preceding three years.

Vanguard manages the cash reserves of the fund as described below.

For the year ended August 31, 2016, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.35% of the fund’s average net assets, before a decrease of $20,000 (0.01%) based on performance.

C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative, marketing, distribution, and cash management services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $34,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 345,004
Temporary Cash Investments 29,037 3,396
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (89)
Total 373,952 3,396
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

E. At August 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index September 2016 120 14,866 1,054
E-mini S&P 500 Index September 2016 18 1,953 3
        1,057

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $243,000 from undistributed net investment income, and $574,000 from accumulated net realized gains, to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $1,593,000 of ordinary income and $5,690,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $324,444,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $52,993,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $60,996,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $8,003,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $217,107,000 of investment securities and sold $175,041,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Explorer Value Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Explorer Value Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at August 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2016 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard Explorer Value Fund

This information for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

The fund distributed $15,447,000 as capital gain dividends (20% rate gain distributions) to shareholders during the fiscal year.

For nonresident alien shareholders, 100% of short-term capital gain dividends distributed by the fund are qualified short-term capital gains.

The fund distributed $2,550,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.

For corporate shareholders, 98.0% of investment income (dividend income plus short-term gains, if any) qualifies for the dividends-received deduction.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2016. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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 fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.56%. 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 (184/366).

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.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

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.

28


 

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.

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

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.

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 198 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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 Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

Even as the global economy continued to expand at a slow but sustained pace over the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, a series of disquieting developments highlighted the importance for investors of remaining disciplined.

Chief among them was “Brexit”—the British public’s vote to exit the European Union—but plenty of others moved the markets as well. We saw sharp ups and downs in the prices of oil and other commodities, choppy U.S. job numbers, shifting expectations about when the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates again, and decreases in already negative yields for European and Japanese government bonds.

Beyond being the end of the fiscal period, August marked a milestone: 40 years since Vanguard introduced the first index mutual fund. In ways that are perhaps still not fully appreciated, indexing has vastly improved investing for individuals, advisors, and institutions all over the world. Later in this letter, I’ll discuss the revolution wrought by what was initially a little-heralded new fund from a fledgling outfit in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Brexit added another layer of uncertainty for investors
I think it’s fair to say that the momentous June 23 Brexit vote caught even the British off guard. Although we saw some market jitters in the run-up to the referendum, the unexpected outcome triggered a spike in

volatility worldwide. Stocks around the world lost 5%–10% in U.S. dollar terms in the first two trading sessions following the vote, with U.K. and European markets among the hardest hit; global bonds, though, headed in the other direction. It was a textbook illustration of the value of having a diversified portfolio.

That kind of volatility can push investors to “do something.” But some of the worst days in the stock markets are sometimes followed by some of the best—as happened at the end of June. Investors who scrambled to protect their portfolios by shedding stocks amid headlines warning of a global market meltdown may well have ended up locking in post-Brexit losses, then missing out on the strong rebound that took place just days later. Those headlines were noise that investors would have been better off tuning out. I’m pleased to say that Vanguard investors on the whole did just that—we continued to see cash flows into our funds in the days after the vote.

For the 12 months, stocks generally finished higher, with U.S. stocks up more than 11% and international stocks about 3% for U.S.-based investors.

In a surprise, bonds turned in a solid performance that few would have predicted a year ago. It seemed as if rates had fallen so far that they couldn’t go any lower, but many did. Central banks in a number of European countries and Japan set key monetary policy rates below zero.

When being ‘average’ is a lot better than average
 
Not only did Vanguard founder John C. Bogle launch the first index mutual fund in 1976, but
he also was among the first to clearly explain to the investing public the benefits of what was
then a novel, unproven strategy.
 
Back in 1977, in the first annual report for what was later renamed Vanguard 500 Index Fund,
Mr. Bogle wrote that an index fund “represents a tough and demanding ‘par.’. And if there
are some professionals who can ‘beat par’ more often than not—in investing or in golf—they
do not seem to be in the majority.”
 
Mr. Bogle’s analogy has been borne out by historical returns. As you can see in the chart
below, out of 1,238 actively managed large-capitalization funds, a clear majority—65%—
trailed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index in average annual return over the decade ended
December 31, 2015. And 518 funds, or about 42% of the total number, trailed by more than
1 percentage point.
 
The track record looks even more discouraging when you consider that of the 35% of funds
that outperformed the index, only119—or about10%in all—did so by morethan 1 percentage
point. The 315 others also took on risk to try to outperform the index (and likely experienced
greatervolatility)butcameoutaheadbylessthan1percentagepointinaverageannualreturn.

These policies held down short-term rates, while more muted expectations for global growth and inflation weighed on longer-term rates.

Yields in the United States weren’t quite as low as in many developed countries. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate only once, in December, to a slim 0.25%–0.5%. Further out on the maturity spectrum, the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped in early July to a record low 1.36%, before moving back up a little to end the period at 1.58%. Over the 12 months, U.S. bonds returned about 6%, and international bonds returned even more—about 11%—for U.S.-based investors, again underscoring the markets’ unpredictability and the merits of diversification.

Over the years, many investors have embraced the pluses of indexing

Market upsets like Brexit aren’t rare occurrences. Fortunately, indexing has proved to be a durable behavioral tool to help keep investors from making bad financial decisions when upsets happen. In fact, this is one of indexing’s less appreciated benefits: Holding index funds as part of a broadly diversified portfolio can counterbalance that tendency to react to news headlines. When times are volatile, you’ll know you might have some exposure to a part of the market that has dropped, but also to other parts that may be holding up better.

Vanguard’s launch of the First Index Investment Trust, now Vanguard 500 Index Fund, initially met with a frosty reception. Its mandate to track the performance of a broadly diversified benchmark at a low cost seemed underwhelming to an investing public accustomed to funds that offered the chance to outperform. Investors have since come around, as experience has demonstrated the benefits of low costs and broad diversification.

Indexing accounted for about 30% of U.S. mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets at the end of 2015, according to the Investment Company Institute. Some now even proclaim the “triumph of indexing,” implying that it’s the only way to invest.

In our view, the rise of indexing has served to underscore an investment principle that long predates 1976: A long-term, low-cost, diversified approach gives investors the best chance for success. That’s true whether the investments you choose are indexed or actively managed—or both.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The 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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

Russell 1000 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $171,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.07% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 2,220,217
Temporary Cash Investments 6,631 500
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (20)
Total 2,226,828 500
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

D. At August 31, 2016, 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 September 2016 69 7,485 307

 

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $55,674,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $9,440,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $44,523,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,906,582,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $320,766,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $362,279,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $41,513,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $606,394,000 of investment securities and sold $317,406,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $196,509,000 and $149,227,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Russell 1000 Value Index Fund

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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

36


 

Russell 1000 Value Index Fund

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $166,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.07% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 2,145,947
Temporary Cash Investments 1,875 300
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (16)
Total 2,147,806 300
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, 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 September 2016 55 5,966 333

 

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $92,938,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $11,822,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $34,941,000 to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,997,068,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $151,054,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $219,123,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $68,069,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $1,000,616,000 of investment securities and sold $707,706,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $369,337,000 and $374,527,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

  Amount Shares Amount Shares

H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2016, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund

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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

51


 

Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $216,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.09% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 2,719,821
Temporary Cash Investments 9,082 700
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (20)
Total 2,728,883 700
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, 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 September 2016 70 7,593 342

 

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $106,319,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $9,591,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $85,531,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,283,220,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $446,383,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $485,329,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $38,946,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $1,137,908,000 of investment securities and sold $621,917,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $278,376,000 and $275,452,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Russell 1000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 1000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2016. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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, 0.16% for ETF Shares and 0.12% for Institutional Shares; for the Russell 1000 Value Index Fund, 0.15% for ETF Shares and 0.11% for Institutional Shares; and for the Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund, 0.15% for ETF Shares and 0.11% for Institutional 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 (184/366).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Russell 1000 Index Fund, Russell 1000 Value Index Fund, and Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Index Group—serves as investment advisor for each fund. The board determined that continuing each fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year directing the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.

The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year through advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.

In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.

Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they had received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

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

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

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to its target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that each advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

Cost

The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in its respective peer group and that each fund’s advisory expenses were also well below its peer group average. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.

59


 

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

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that each fund’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements 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.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

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.

61


 

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.

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

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.

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 198 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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 Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

Even as the global economy continued to expand at a slow but sustained pace over the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, a series of disquieting developments highlighted the importance for investors of remaining disciplined.

Chief among them was “Brexit”—the British public’s vote to exit the European Union—but plenty of others moved the markets as well. We saw sharp ups and downs in the prices of oil and other commodities, choppy U.S. job numbers, shifting expectations about when the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates again, and decreases in already negative yields for European and Japanese government bonds.

Beyond being the end of the fiscal period, August marked a milestone: 40 years since Vanguard introduced the first index mutual fund. In ways that are perhaps still not fully appreciated, indexing has vastly improved investing for individuals, advisors, and institutions all over the world. Later in this letter, I’ll discuss the revolution wrought by what was initially a little-heralded new fund from a fledgling outfit in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Brexit added another layer of uncertainty for investors
I think it’s fair to say that the momentous June 23 Brexit vote caught even the British off guard. Although we saw some market jitters in the run-up to the referendum, the unexpected outcome triggered a spike in

volatility worldwide. Stocks around the world lost 5%–10% in U.S. dollar terms in the first two trading sessions following the vote, with U.K. and European markets among the hardest hit; global bonds, though, headed in the other direction. It was a textbook illustration of the value of having a diversified portfolio.

That kind of volatility can push investors to “do something.” But some of the worst days in the stock markets are sometimes followed by some of the best—as happened at the end of June. Investors who scrambled to protect their portfolios by shedding stocks amid headlines warning of a global market meltdown may well have ended up locking in post-Brexit losses, then missing out on the strong rebound that took place just days later. Those headlines were noise that investors would have been better off tuning out. I’m pleased to say that Vanguard investors on the whole did just that—we continued to see cash flows into our funds in the days after the vote.

For the 12 months, stocks generally finished higher, with U.S. stocks up more than 11% and international stocks about 3% for U.S.-based investors.

In a surprise, bonds turned in a solid performance that few would have predicted a year ago. It seemed as if rates had fallen so far that they couldn’t go any lower, but many did. Central banks in a number of European countries and Japan set key monetary policy rates below zero.

When being ‘average’ is a lot better than average
 
Not only did Vanguard founder John C. Bogle launch the first index mutual fund in 1976, but
he also was among the first to clearly explain to the investing public the benefits of what was
then a novel, unproven strategy.
 
Back in 1977, in the first annual report for what was later renamed Vanguard 500 Index Fund,
Mr. Bogle wrote that an index fund “represents a tough and demanding ‘par.’. And if there
are some professionals who can ‘beat par’ more often than not—in investing or in golf—they
do not seem to be in the majority.”
 
Mr. Bogle’s analogy has been borne out by historical returns. As you can see in the chart
below, out of 1,238 actively managed large-capitalization funds, a clear majority—65%—
trailed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index in average annual return over the decade ended
December 31, 2015. And 518 funds, or about 42% of the total number, trailed by more than
1 percentage point.
 
The track record looks even more discouraging when you consider that of the 35% of funds
that outperformed the index, only119—or about10%in all—did so by morethan 1 percentage
point. The 315 others also took on risk to try to outperform the index (and likely experienced
greatervolatility)butcameoutaheadbylessthan1percentagepointinaverageannualreturn.
 
Over a decade, a majority of active large-cap funds lagged the S&P 500 Index
Based on average annual returns, 2006–2015

These policies held down short-term rates, while more muted expectations for global growth and inflation weighed on longer-term rates.

Yields in the United States weren’t quite as low as in many developed countries. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate only once, in December, to a slim 0.25%–0.5%. Further out on the maturity spectrum, the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped in early July to a record low 1.36%, before moving back up a little to end the period at 1.58%. Over the 12 months, U.S. bonds returned about 6%, and international bonds returned even more—about 11%—for U.S.-based investors, again underscoring the markets’ unpredictability and the merits of diversification.

Over the years, many investors have embraced the pluses of indexing

Market upsets like Brexit aren’t rare occurrences. Fortunately, indexing has proved to be a durable behavioral tool to help keep investors from making bad financial decisions when upsets happen. In fact, this is one of indexing’s less appreciated benefits: Holding index funds as part of a broadly diversified portfolio can counterbalance that tendency to react to news headlines. When times are volatile, you’ll know you might have some exposure to a part of the market that has dropped, but also to other parts that may be holding up better.

Vanguard’s launch of the First Index Investment Trust, now Vanguard 500 Index Fund, initially met with a frosty reception. Its mandate to track the performance of a broadly diversified benchmark at a low cost seemed underwhelming to an investing public accustomed to funds that offered the chance to outperform. Investors have since come around, as experience has demonstrated the benefits of low costs and broad diversification.

Indexing accounted for about 30% of U.S. mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets at the end of 2015, according to the Investment Company Institute. Some now even proclaim the “triumph of indexing,” implying that it’s the only way to invest.

In our view, the rise of indexing has served to underscore an investment principle that long predates 1976: A long-term, low-cost, diversified approach gives investors the best chance for success. That’s true whether the investments you choose are indexed or actively managed—or both.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Russell 2000 Index Fund

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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

20


 

Russell 2000 Index Fund

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $86,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,173,851 208
Temporary Cash Investments 31,817 799
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (79)
Total 1,205,589 799 208
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index September 2016 33 4,088

 

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

Russell 2000 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.

Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be passive foreign investment companies, for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $64,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $55,710,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $4,106,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $35,330,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,209,619,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,944,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $127,264,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $130,208,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $490,903,000 of investment securities and sold $462,490,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $171,231,000 and $261,265,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Russell 2000 Value Index Fund

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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

Russell 2000 Value Index Fund

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $18,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 248,299 39
Temporary Cash Investments 5,270 399
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (16)
Total 253,553 399 39
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $5,286,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $1,180,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $12,141,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $246,669,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,338,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $24,183,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $16,845,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $167,508,000 of investment securities and sold $86,133,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $49,392,000 and $30,258,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares 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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The 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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $29,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 362,114 95
Temporary Cash Investments 8,567 200
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (4)
Total 370,677 200 95
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index September 2016 7 867 43

 

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $27,477,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $1,291,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $49,347,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $359,251,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,725,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $42,275,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $30,550,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $275,256,000 of investment securities and sold $251,822,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $42,328,000 and $129,952,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2016. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

The table shows returns for ETF Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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.

ETF Shares $1,000.00 $1,024.03 $1.12

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, 0.16% for ETF Shares and 0.10% for Institutional Shares; for the Russell 2000 Value Index Fund, 0.21% for ETF Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; and for the Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund, 0.22% for ETF Shares and 0.09% for Institutional 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 (184/366).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund, Russell 2000 Value Index Fund, and Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Index Group—serves as investment advisor for each fund. The board determined that continuing each fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year directing the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.

The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year through advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.

In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.

Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they had received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

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

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

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to its target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that each advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

Cost

The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in its peer group and that each fund’s advisory expenses were also well below its peer group average. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.

59


 

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

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that each fund’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements 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.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

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.

61


 

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.

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

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.

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 198 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund, which represents the broad U.S. stock market, returned about 11% for the 12 months ended August 31, 2016. The fund’s return was in line with that of its benchmark index and exceeded the average return of its multi-capitalization core peers.

• In general, large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks, and value stocks topped their growth brethren during the period.

• Each of the Russell 3000 Index Fund’s nine industry sectors produced positive results.

Technology stocks, which represented about 17% of the fund, contributed most to the fund’s return. Producer durables and financial services stocks also added significantly to performance.

• Health care and energy stocks posted the weakest results. In health care, biotechnology companies struggled amid regulatory and drug market challenges. In energy, equipment and services providers and alternative energy companies weighed on performance.

Chairman’s Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

Even as the global economy continued to expand at a slow but sustained pace over the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, a series of disquieting developments highlighted the importance for investors of remaining disciplined.

Chief among them was “Brexit”—the British public’s vote to exit the European Union—but plenty of others moved the markets as well. We saw sharp ups and downs in the prices of oil and other commodities, choppy U.S. job numbers, shifting expectations about when the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates again, and decreases in already negative yields for European and Japanese government bonds.

Beyond being the end of the fiscal period, August marked a milestone: 40 years since Vanguard introduced the first index mutual fund. In ways that are perhaps still not fully appreciated, indexing has vastly improved investing for individuals, advisors, and institutions all over the world. Later in this letter, I’ll discuss the revolution wrought by what was initially a little-heralded new fund from a fledgling outfit in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Brexit added another layer of uncertainty for investors
I think it’s fair to say that the momentous June 23 Brexit vote caught even the British off guard. Although we saw some market jitters in the run-up to the referendum, the unexpected outcome triggered a spike in

volatility worldwide. Stocks around the world lost 5%–10% in U.S. dollar terms in the first two trading sessions following the vote, with U.K. and European markets among the hardest hit; global bonds, though, headed in the other direction. It was a textbook illustration of the value of having a diversified portfolio.

That kind of volatility can push investors to “do something.” But some of the worst days in the stock markets are sometimes followed by some of the best—as happened at the end of June. Investors who scrambled to protect their portfolios by shedding stocks amid headlines warning of a global market meltdown may well have ended up locking in post-Brexit losses, then missing out on the strong rebound that took place just days later. Those headlines were noise that investors would have been better off tuning out. I’m pleased to say that Vanguard investors on the whole did just that—we continued to see cash flows into our funds in the days after the vote.

For the 12 months, stocks generally finished higher, with U.S. stocks up more than 11% and international stocks about 3% for U.S.-based investors.

In a surprise, bonds turned in a solid performance that few would have predicted a year ago. It seemed as if rates had fallen so far that they couldn’t go any lower, but many did. Central banks in a number of European countries and Japan set key monetary policy rates below zero.

When being ‘average’ is a lot better than average
 
Not only did Vanguard founder John C. Bogle launch the first index mutual fund in 1976, but
he also was among the first to clearly explain to the investing public the benefits of what was
then a novel, unproven strategy.
 
Back in 1977, in the first annual report for what was later renamed Vanguard 500 Index Fund,
Mr. Bogle wrote that an index fund “represents a tough and demanding ‘par.’. And if there
are some professionals who can ‘beat par’ more often than not—in investing or in golf—they
do not seem to be in the majority.”
 
Mr. Bogle’s analogy has been borne out by historical returns. As you can see in the chart
below, out of 1,238 actively managed large-capitalization funds, a clear majority—65%—
trailed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index in average annual return over the decade ended
December 31, 2015. And 518 funds, or about 42% of the total number, trailed by more than
1 percentage point.
 
The track record looks even more discouraging when you consider that of the 35% of funds
that outperformed the index, only119—or about10%in all—did so by morethan 1 percentage
point. The 315 others also took on risk to try to outperform the index (and likely experienced
greatervolatility)butcameoutaheadbylessthan1percentagepointinaverageannualreturn.

These policies held down short-term rates, while more muted expectations for global growth and inflation weighed on longer-term rates.

Yields in the United States weren’t quite as low as in many developed countries. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate only once, in December, to a slim 0.25%–0.5%. Further out on the maturity spectrum, the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped in early July to a record low 1.36%, before moving back up a little to end the period at 1.58%. Over the 12 months, U.S. bonds returned about 6%, and international bonds returned even more—about 11%—for U.S.-based investors, again underscoring the markets’ unpredictability and the merits of diversification.

Over the years, many investors have embraced the pluses of indexing

Market upsets like Brexit aren’t rare occurrences. Fortunately, indexing has proved to be a durable behavioral tool to help keep investors from making bad financial decisions when upsets happen. In fact, this is one of indexing’s less appreciated benefits: Holding index funds as part of a broadly diversified portfolio can counterbalance that tendency to react to news headlines. When times are volatile, you’ll know you might have some exposure to a part of the market that has dropped, but also to other parts that may be holding up better.

Vanguard’s launch of the First Index Investment Trust, now Vanguard 500 Index Fund, initially met with a frosty reception. Its mandate to track the performance of a broadly diversified benchmark at a low cost seemed underwhelming to an investing public accustomed to funds that offered the chance to outperform. Investors have since come around, as experience has demonstrated the benefits of low costs and broad diversification.

Indexing accounted for about 30% of U.S. mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets at the end of 2015, according to the Investment Company Institute. Some now even proclaim the “triumph of indexing,” implying that it’s the only way to invest.

In our view, the rise of indexing has served to underscore an investment principle that long predates 1976: A long-term, low-cost, diversified approach gives investors the best chance for success. That’s true whether the investments you choose are indexed or actively managed—or both.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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: ETF Shares and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Russell 3000 Index Fund

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, 2013–2016), 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. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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

Russell 3000 Index Fund

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $86,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 1,125,295 16
Temporary Cash Investments 1,822 1,000
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (7)
Total 1,127,110 1,000 16
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, 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)

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $58,209,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $4,753,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $22,673,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,061,789,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $66,344,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $110,677,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $44,333,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $392,394,000 of investment securities and sold $311,444,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $123,777,000 and $235,295,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2016 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund

This information for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

The fund distributed $19,158,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.

For corporate shareholders, 92.0% of investment income (dividend income plus short-term gains, if any) qualifies for the dividends-received deduction.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2016. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

The table shows returns for ETF Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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.

ETF Shares $1,000.00 $1,024.33 $0.81
Institutional Shares 1,000.00 1,024.68 0.46

 

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 0.16% for ETF Shares and 0.09% for Institutional 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 (184/366).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Index Group—serves as investment advisor to the fund. The board determined that continuing the fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year directing the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.

The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year through advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.

In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.

Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they had received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

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

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

Investment performance

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

26


 

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 expenses were also well below its peer-group average. Information about the fund’s expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of the report as well as in the Financial Statements section.

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

The benefit of economies of scale

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

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement 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.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

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.

28


 

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.

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

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.

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 198 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• Bonds provided a safe harbor from stock market volatility during the 12 months ended August 31, 2016. In June, amid uncertainty surrounding the U.K. Brexit vote, the broad U.S. bond market returned almost 2%, its best month of the fiscal year.

• Several of the funds covered in this report met their investment objective of closely tracking their benchmark indexes, after expenses. Divergences can arise because the funds and their indexes value securities at slightly different times toward the end of the day and use different pricing methods.

• Short-term interest rates rose, but longer-term rates declined—boosting long-term bond prices. (Rates and bond prices move in opposite directions.)

• Returns for ETF Shares (based on net asset value) ranged from about 1% for the Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund to more than 18% for the Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund. Both income and capital returns were positive for each fund.

Chairman's Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

Even as the global economy continued to expand at a slow but sustained pace over the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, a series of disquieting developments highlighted the importance for investors of remaining disciplined.

Chief among them was "Brexit "- the British public's vote to exit the European Union- but plenty of others moved the markets as well. We saw sharp ups and downs in the prices of oil and other commodities, choppy U.S. job numbers, shifting expectations about when the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates again, and decreases in already negative yields for European and Japanese government bonds.

Beyond being the end of the fiscal period, August marked a milestone: 40 years since Vanguard introduced the first index mutual fund. In ways that are perhaps still not fully appreciated. indexing has vastly improved investing for individuals, advisors, and institutions all over the world. Later in this letter. I'll discuss the revolution wrought by what was initially a little-heralded new fund from a fledgling outfit in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Brexit added another layer of uncertainty for investors

I think it' s fair to say that the momentous June 23 Brexit vote caught even the British off guard. Although we saw some market jitters in the run-up to the referendum, the unexpected outcome triggered a spike in

volatility worldwide. Stocks around the world lost 5%-10% in U.S. dollar terms in the first two trading sessions following the vote, with U.K. and European markets among the hardest hit; global bonds, though, headed in the other direction. It was a textbook illustration of the value of having a diversified portfolio.

That kind of volatility can push investors to "do something." But some of the worst days in the stock markets are sometimes followed by some of the best-as happened at the end of June. Investors who scrambled to protect their portfolios by shedding stocks amid head lines warning of a global market meltdown may well have ended up locking in post-Brexit losses, then missing out on the strong rebound that took place

just days later. Those headlines were noise that investors would have been better off tuning out. I'm pleased to say that Vanguard investors on the whole did just that- we continued to see cashflows in to our funds in the days after the vote.

For the 12 months, stocks generally finished higher, with U.S. stocks up more than 11 % and international stocks about 3% for U.S.-based investors.

In a surprise, bonds turned in a solid performance that few would have predicted a year ago. It seemed as if rates had fallen so far that they couldn't go any lower, but many did. Central banks in a number of European countries and Japan set key monetary policy rates below zero.

When being 'average' is a lot better than average

Not only did Vanguard founder John C. Bogle launch the first index mutual fund in 1976, but he also was among the first to clearly explain to the investing public the benefits of what was then a novel, unproven strategy.

Back in 1977, in the first annual report for what was later renamed Vanguard 500 Index Fund, Mr. Bogle wrote that an index fund "represents a tough and demanding 'par.'... And if there are some professionals who can 'beat par' more often than not- in investing or in golf- they do not seem to be in the majority."

Mr. Bogle's analogy has been borne out by historical returns. As you can see in the chart below, out of 1,238 actively managed large-capitalization funds, a clear majority-65%-trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index in average annual return over the decade ended December 31, 2015. And 518 funds, or about 42% of the total number, trailed by more than 1 percentage point.

The track record looks even more discouraging when you consider that of the 35% of funds that outperformed the index, only 119- or about 10% in all- did so by more than 1 percentage point. The 315 others also took on risk to try to outperform the index (and likely experienced greater volatility) but came out ahead by less than 1 percentage point in average annual return.


Notes: Databased on average annual returns of all 1,238 existing actively managed large-cap funds over the decade ended December 31, 2015. Note that index funds seek to track the performance of a benchmark index but typically won' t "match" the benchmark's returns because of the costs of passive indexing.

Sources: Vanguard calculations. using data from Standard & Poor·s.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment. as you cannot invest directly in an index.

These policies held down short-term rates, while more muted expectations for global growth and inflation weighed on longer-term rates.

Yields in the United States weren't quite as low as in many developed countries. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate only once, in December, to a slim 0.25%-0.5%. Further out on the maturity spectrum, the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped in early July to a record low 1.36%, before moving back up a little to end the period at 1.58%. Over the 12 months, U.S. bonds returned about 6%, and international bonds returned even more- about 11%-for U.S.-based investors, again underscoring the markets' unpredictability and the merits of diversification.

Over the years, many investors have embraced the pluses of indexing

Market upsets like Brexit aren't rare occurrences. Fortunately, indexing has proved to be a durable behavioral tool to help keep investors from making bad financial decisions when upsets happen. In fact, this is one of indexing's less appreciated benefits: Holding index funds as part of a broadly diversified portfolio can counterbalance that tendency to react to news headlines. When times are volatile, you'll know you might have some exposure to a part of the market that has dropped, but also to other parts that may be holding up better.

Vanguard's launch of the First Index Investment Trust, now Vanguard 500 Index Fund, initially met with a frosty reception. Its mandate to track the performance of a broadly diversified benchmark at a low cost seemed underwhelming to an investing public accustomed to funds that offered the chance to outperform. Investors have since come around, as experience has demonstrated the benefits of low costs and broad diversification.

Indexing accounted for about 30% of U.S. mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets at the end of 2015, according to the Investment Company Institute. Some now even proclaim the "triumph of indexing," implying that it's theonly way to invest.

In our view, the rise of indexing has served to underscore an investment principle that long predates 1976: A long-term, low -cost, diversified approach gives investors thebest chance for success. That's true whether the investments you choose are indexed or actively managed-or both.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. 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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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.

Short-Term Government 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $104,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 1,347,718
Temporary Cash Investments 13,058
Total 13,058 1,347,718

 

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.

Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $625,000 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.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $182,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $994,000 of ordinary income and $140,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,359,057,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,719,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $2,388,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $669,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $1,440,089,000 of investment securities and sold $999,350,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $425,306,000 and $165,640,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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: ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. 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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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.

Intermediate-Term Government 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $142,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.06% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 1,879,659

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.

Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $2,036,000 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.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $374,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $1,967,000 of ordinary income and $1,379,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,861,556,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $31,810,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $32,407,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $597,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $1,506,621,000 of investment securities and sold $569,645,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $602,721,000 and $74,508,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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: ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearing-house, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at August 31, 2016.

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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

56

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

5. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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.

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $92,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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.

57


 

Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 1,083,913
Temporary Cash Investments 12,213
Total 12,213 1,083,913

 

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.

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $25,959,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $1,412,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $10,492,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,012,379,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $83,747,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $796,663,000 of investment securities and sold $345,792,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $458,164,000 and $203,072,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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: ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at August 31, 2016.

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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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.

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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,257,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.50% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 59,135
Corporate Bonds 16,844,838
Taxable Municipal Bonds 12,346
Temporary Cash Investments 56,452
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (49)  
Total 56,403 16,916,319
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period for recently closed futures contracts.  

 

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.

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $259,000 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $28,324,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $22,947,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $16,762,780,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $209,991,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $214,504,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,513,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $8,800,507,000 of investment securities and sold $4,227,279,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $3,963,063,000 and $3,906,680,000, respectively. Total purchases and sales include $3,481,484,000 and $140,693,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended August 31, 2016, such purchases and sales were $2,123,245,000 and $394,338,000, respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

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: ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

91


 

Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

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

5. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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 assessed on capital share transactions 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $837,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.33% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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.

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $11,247,000 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.

Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $28,921,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $28,978,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,635,629,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $442,976,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $446,861,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,885,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $7,597,009,000 of investment securities and sold $3,187,466,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments.

The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended August 31, 2016, such purchases and sales were $976,198,000 and $2,154,789,000 respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

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: ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

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 assessed on capital share transactions 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $150,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.06% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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.

111


 

Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 968
Corporate Bonds 1,935,544 250
Taxable Municipal Bonds 4,166
Temporary Cash Investments 9,174
Futures Contracts—Assets1 39
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (58)
Total 9,155 1,940,678 250
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2016, 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)
Ultra 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note December 2016 40 5,775
Ultra Long U. S. Treasury Bond December 2016 (13) (2,437) 5
        5

 

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 year ended August 31, 2016, the fund realized $5,979,000 of net capital losses resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such losses 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.

112


 

Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $5,536,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $30,958,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,809,490,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $140,612,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $144,452,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,840,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $1,174,348,000 of investment securities and sold $743,882,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $366,068,000 and $367,281,000, respectively. Total purchases and sales include $552,228,000 and $207,834,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended August 31, 2016, such purchases and sales were $206,500,000 and $394,190,000, respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

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: ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. 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. Bonds and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the 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 be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.

At August 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts cash with a value of $235,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

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

128


 

Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund

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 Net Assets.

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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.

7. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees, if any, assessed on capital share transactions 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board

129


 

Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund

of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $255,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.10% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the 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 August 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 3,414,007
Temporary Cash Investments 740,136
Total 740,136 3,414,007

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $773,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2016, the fund had $15,604,000 of ordinary income and $102,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At August 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,125,286,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $28,857,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $31,286,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,429,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2016, the fund purchased $11,361,745,000 of investment securities and sold $9,879,163,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

130


 

Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund

The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended August 31, 2016, such purchases and sales were $493,093,000 and $136,749,000 respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets, the statements of net assets—investments summary, the statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund and Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, and Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for each fund. The board determined that continuing each fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders.

The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. The Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year directing the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.

The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year through advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.

In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.

Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they had received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

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

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

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to its target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that each advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

138


 

Cost

The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its respective peer group and that each fund’s advisory expenses were also well below its peer-group average. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.

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

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that each fund’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangements 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.

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.

Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). 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 and are 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 for each issue is shown. “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available.

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.

140


 

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

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 198 Vanguard funds.

The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Russell 1000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 1000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedules of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Russell 1000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 1000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights and schedules of investments (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedules of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Russell 2000 Index Fund, Vanguard Russell 2000 Value Index Fund and Vanguard Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights and schedules of investments (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedule of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Russell 3000 Index Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at August 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights and schedule of investments (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights (included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR) and the schedules of investments (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Scottsdale Funds, hereafter referred to as the

“Funds”) at August 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements, financial highlights and schedules of investments (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
