Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Bond yields have confounded expectations so far this year. The markets had anticipated that interest rates would continue rising across the board once the Federal Reserve began scaling back its stimulative bond­buying program. Although yields of some shorter­dated bonds did keep drifting higher, yields of their longer­dated counterparts reversed course as demand for those securities revived. Factors underlying that shift included slower economic growth than expected, heightened geopolitical instability, and investors’ ongoing search for yield.

Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund advanced, returning 6.34% for the six months ended July 31, 2014. Returns of funds holding shorter-dated maturities were more modest, ranging from 1.82% for Vanguard GNMA Fund to 0.08% for Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund. (Returns and yields cited in this letter are for Investor Shares.)

Relative to their comparative standards, the funds’ performance varied. Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, the GNMA Fund, and the Short-Term Treasury Fund produced returns in line with or a step ahead of their benchmark results, whereas the returns of the Long-Term Treasury Fund and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund fell a bit short. The GNMA Fund and the Long-Term Treasury Fund outpaced their peer groups’ average return, but the returns of the other funds lagged their peer averages.


 

With the yield curve flattening, the 30-day SEC yield for the Short-Term Treasury Fund climbed to 0.44% on July 31, from 0.34% six months earlier. The Long-Term Treasury Fund’s yield fell from 3.37% to 2.98% over the period. For the three other funds, the 30-day SEC yield held steady or declined.

The pace of bond gains slackened over the latter part of the period
The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 2.16% for the six months. Although bonds have rebounded well after posting negative returns for 2013, their recent rally lost some momentum over June and July.

Municipal bonds returned 4.15%, lifted by the broad bond rally as well as by investor demand for tax-exempt income and a limited supply of new issues.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned 3.35%.

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

Stocks posted strong returns despite finishing with a thud
The broad U.S. stock market returned about 8% for the six months despite ending on a negative note. U.S. stocks, which were

on the cusp of eking out a sixth straight positive monthly return, tumbled on the period’s final day. Still, generally strong corporate earnings, investors’ willingness to embrace risk, and the Fed’s resolve to sustain historically low interest rates for an extended time have supported the market.

International stocks returned almost 10%, notwithstanding geopolitical flare-ups in the Middle East and Ukraine and some uncertainty about economic growth in China and Europe. Emerging markets, which notably slumped in 2013, led the charge. Stocks in the developed markets of the Pacific region also managed double-digit returns. European stocks, despite retreating in July, finished on positive ground.

Longer-­dated bonds have seen a strong rebound so far this year
The past year or so serves as an example of how holding steady with your investments can work out better than trying to time the markets. In May 2013, the Fed began bracing investors for a dialing back of its unprecedented bond purchases designed to speed the economy’s recovery. Many investors reasonably assumed that curtailing those purchases could hurt bond prices, which did decline through the end of 2013.

The markets rarely evolve as expected, however, and investors who exited the bond market in the second half of 2013 or sought safety in short-term maturities in anticipation of the Fed’s tapering missed out on the strong recovery that has played out this year among longer-dated bonds.

The Long-Term Treasury Fund’s 6.34% return for the six months was largely due to price appreciation that resulted from the fall in longer-term yields. The fund’s relative performance, however, was affected by temporary pricing differences between its holdings and those of its benchmark index. All in all, it finished about half a percentage point behind its index, but more than 3 percentage points ahead of the average return of peer funds. (Note that the peer comparison is imperfect, in part because many peers hold Treasuries across the maturity spectrum.)

Returns for the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds and Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund came in well under 1%. Falling bond prices clipped the performances of the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds, given that yields rose at the shorter end of the yield curve. The slim cushion provided from income earned over the six months, however, kept these funds in positive territory. Prices of the bonds in the Short-Term Federal Fund, which invests in the issues of federal agencies including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, held up better, but here too the income earned was modest. The three short- and intermediate-term funds’ allocations to shorter maturities contributed to their lagging their peer groups’ average returns, while the three funds’ performances versus their benchmarks were mixed.

The GNMA Fund outpaced its comparative standards. Although it primarily invests in Government National Mortgage Association

pass-through certificates, some exposure to other government mortgage-backed securities boosted its performance.

Market predictions about yields often miss the mark
 
U.S. bond yields have been below their historical long-term averages for some time now.
But history has shown that just because yields are low doesn’t mean that they have to
move higher.
 
At the end of 2010, the market believed yields were at such low levels that a significant
rise was in the offing. The dotted line in the chart below shows where the market expected
Treasury yields to be three years down the road (as indicated by the so-called forward yield
curve). For some maturities, those expectations implied that yields would more than double.
 
Bond yields rarely move as expected, however. The black line in the chart shows that Treasury
yields at the end of 2013 were well below market expectations, and in fact even lower than
where they had been three years earlier.
 
While the current low level of yields implies slim returns from bonds in the future, investors
should keep in mind that it remains just as hard today as it was in 2010 to say where yields
will head next.

International bonds can help diversify interest rate risk
As the Fed further trims its bond purchases, we’re likely to see more headlines about the prospect of higher interest rates and lower bond prices. But the latest media speculation is never a sound basis for changing your portfolio’s long-term allocation to bonds, which serve to moderate the much higher volatility of stocks.

Investors can nevertheless reduce their exposure to U.S. interest rate risk by shifting some of their portfolio’s bond allocation into international bonds.

Using nearly three decades’ worth of data from periods when interest rates rose, Vanguard has found that adding international bonds (whether hedged for foreign currency risk or issued in U.S. dollars) can effectively diversify an investor’s portfolio of local bonds regardless of the investor’s home country. Much of this benefit arises because the interest rate movements of various markets can cancel one another out to some extent, leading to more stable returns.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that such trends will continue, and diversification doesn’t prevent losses. But it’s unlikely that all interest rates across the globe would increase at the same time or by the same magnitude. (You can read more in Fearful of Rising Interest Rates? Consider a More Global Bond Portfolio, available at vanguard.com/research.)

This strategy of global diversification is simple and straightforward and can make sense in any rate environment. And unlike changes in interest rates, such a strategy is under your control.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisors’ Report

For the Short­-, Intermediate-­, and Long-­Term Treasury Funds and the Short­-Term Federal Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2014, returns for the U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from 0.08% for Investor Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund to 6.40% for Admiral Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund. While the Short-Term Treasury and Short-Term Federal Funds performed roughly in line with or outpaced their benchmark indexes, the other funds lagged theirs. All but the Long-Term Treasury Fund trailed the average returns for their peer groups.

The investment environment
Part of the gains that government bond funds made over the six months can be chalked up to a growing expectation that interest rates will stay low for an extended period.

As part of its third wave of quantitative easing aimed at helping the economy recover from the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve bought about $1 trillion worth of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities over 2013. Given the scale of the program, the Fed’s talk of winding it down initially rattled investors and sent yields higher last year. But forward guidance from the Fed reassured the market that tapering

would be gradual and that interest rates would remain low for a considerable time even after the program ended. That helped yields at the long end of the curve ease back down this year. (The Fed was still purchasing about $35 billion in assets in July; it also continued to reinvest all interest payments and proceeds from maturing securities back into Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.)

The fragility of growth at home and abroad also made any short-term rise in rates seem less likely. The pace of economic growth in many developed markets remained lackluster despite the best efforts of their central banks. And in the United States, severe winter weather contributed to a contraction in GDP at an annual rate of almost 3% in the first quarter, though the situation has since improved.

At the same time, a number of buyers came back to the bond market. Investors such as insurance companies and pension funds began to rebalance their portfolios, moving out of equities and into bonds after the strong run-up in the stock market last year. Demand increased as well from international buyers, who saw relative value in U.S. bonds. Even with yields for these securities at historically low levels, they still looked attractive compared with yields on Japanese and German sovereign debt, for example. And more risk-averse investors turned to government bonds as a safe harbor for their assets amid heightened tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Over the six months, the yield curve flattened. The yield of the 2-year Treasury note rose 21 basis points to 0.56%, and that of the 5-year note was up 26 basis points to 1.77%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) In contrast, the yield of the 10-year Treasury note fell 14 basis points to 2.56% and that of the 30-year bond dropped 33 basis points to 3.31%.

Management of the funds
All four funds had durations shorter than those of their benchmark indexes. That stance, which can act as a buffer against rising interest rates, proved to be a drag on performance this time for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund in particular. Its average duration at the end of the period was 5.1 years, compared with 6.5 years for its benchmark.

Temporary pricing differences also hurt the Long-Term Treasury Fund’s performance versus its benchmark.

On the positive side, some active yield curve management strategies added a little incremental return. And the Short-Term Federal Fund’s focus on mortgage-backed securities added to relative performance as those securities returned more than Treasuries over the six months.

The outlook
With longer-term bonds having had a strong run, returns may be more modest for the remainder of 2014. Income, rather than price appreciation, is likely to be the primary driver of performance. Prices may fall if interest rates rise sharply.

We expect growth in the U.S. economy to pick up, allowing the Fed to stay on schedule, concluding its bond purchases by year-end and slowly starting to tighten the federal funds target rate sometime in 2015. The tightening is likely to end, however, at a level below the historical average. With rising rates in the offing, we are entering the second half of the funds’ fiscal year with durations still shorter than those of their benchmarks.

An eventual tightening of monetary policy is likely to be accompanied by an increase in market volatility. Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers and traders will continue to seek out opportunities to produce competitive returns.

For the GNMA Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2014, Investor Shares of the Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 1.82% and Admiral Shares returned 1.87%. The fund outperformed its benchmark index as well as the average return of peer-group funds.

Investment environment
The Federal Reserve continued to reduce its asset-purchase program during the period. It tapered, as expected, by $10 billion per meeting of its policymaking Federal Open Market Committee and reduced its total monthly asset purchases to $35 billion beginning in July. In June, the committee modestly increased its projections for short-term interest rates in 2015 and 2016, signifying confidence that the U.S. economic recovery was on track. However, central bank officials slightly lowered their long-term outlook for rates because of a decline in longer-term growth projections.

U.S. economic data released during the first quarter was weaker as the harsh winter hurt housing, consumption, and employment. First-quarter GDP contracted at an annual rate of 2.9%—the economy’s worst performance in five years—but subsequent data implied a more encouraging GDP number for the second quarter. Housing started to regain lost ground after a weak start to the year. Home sales and housing starts picked up again while home prices continued to rise, but at a slower pace than in 2013. The labor market improved further, with strong payroll gains and a drop in the unemployment rate. Consumer confidence started to grow firmer as job prospects strengthened and manufacturing and service-sector activity rose. Inflation showed signs of picking up, but not enough to concern the Fed.

As a group, agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) posted total returns of 1.84%, as measured by the Barclays


 

MBS Fixed Rate Index, outperforming Treasuries of equal duration by 0.35 percentage point over the six months.

Agency MBS underperformed Treasuries early in the period amid Fed tapering and indications that the Fed could begin raising rates earlier than initially expected. However, the sector rebounded early in the second quarter, aided by low volatility and range-bound U.S. Treasury yields. Fed officials also clarified that they were likely to delay the end of MBS principal reinvestment beyond the first rate increase; that clarification also supported agency MBS despite continued Fed tapering and geopolitical concerns.

The much-anticipated short-term supply/ demand imbalance began to appear in the MBS market in July, however, as the Fed kept reducing its MBS purchases. As a result, the sector underperformed again toward the end of the period, but it was able to hold onto a large portion of the gains year to date. MBS dollar rolls (a form of short-term financing using MBS as collateral) were weaker and are likely to continue to deteriorate across all coupon rates as the Fed’s taper reduces the excess front-month demand for mortgages. This reduces the carry available in the mortgage market and points toward wider spreads.

GNMA mortgages outperformed conventional MBS in the first quarter because of the renewed interest and collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) demand from banks, since GNMAs received more favorable liquidity treatment in the first quarter under the new Basel III bank-capital rules. However, they underperformed conventional MBS in the second quarter as bank demand for CMOs appeared to have run its course.

Fund successes
The fund outperformed its benchmark for the period. Coupon positioning within 30-year GNMAs, particularly an underweighting of 3.5% coupons, was the primary contributor to relative performance. The fund’s out-of-benchmark allocation to Fannie Mae multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing securities also added to relative returns.

Fund shortfalls
The fund’s duration and yield curve positioning hurt performance.

Fund positioning
We remain tactically cautious about mortgage-backed securities. The increase in market volatility driven by geopolitical risks, along with lower Fed purchases and a weaker roll market, pushed MBS spreads wider in July. Fed purchases have fallen from 70%–80% of gross issuance to below 50%. We might have expected a larger decline based on the typical spring rebound and the drop in rates, but MBS issuance has yet to increase meaningfully. In the interim, the Fed’s tapering of MBS purchases is expected to stay on track as the economy continues recovering. Thus, we expect that MBS spreads could widen further based on short-term technical weakness. Moreover, market participants, driven primarily by economics rather than monetary policy, will need to purchase new MBS, and we believe they will require

13


 

even wider spreads. In the meantime, our portfolio does not suffer from a lack of spread, because our underweights, which are concentrated in tighter, low-coupon MBS, are replaced with Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing bonds. This allows us to be patient and to let the rates, volatility, and MBS markets digest the Fed’s exit over the summer and fall.

As the second half of 2014 continues, returns in the GNMA MBS sector remain a story of income rather than capital appreciation. However, like virtually all bond funds, this fund is exposed to interest rate risk and, because bond yields and prices move inversely, the potential for loss of principal exists if and when rates rise. We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions as well as the Fed’s tapering and exit strategy to manage this risk. Despite our cautious near-term stance, we believe that GNMAs’ yield advantage over Treasuries still offers investors a compelling opportunity over the long term.

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. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

25


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of market values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of

26


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

$663,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.27% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 July 31, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 6,646,105
Temporary Cash Investments 27,048
Futures Contracts—Assets1 41
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (27)
Options on Futures Purchased 12
Liability for Options Written (19)
Total 27,055 6,646,105
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At July 31, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

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

Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond September 2014 (70) (10,559) 19
        131

 

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

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,677,486,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,321,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $9,463,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $13,784,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $2,404,182,000 of investment securities and sold $2,223,113,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2014.

Short-Term Federal Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Federal 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: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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).

39


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

During the period ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 7% and 5% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. 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. 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.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

40


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

6. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

8. 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $520,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.21% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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).

      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond September 2014 (19) (2,611) (40)
        102
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

 

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2014, the fund had available capital losses totaling $9,541,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2015; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

Short-Term Federal Fund

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,643,197,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,040,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $5,572,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $10,612,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $8,208,701,000 of investment securities and sold $7,858,539,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Performance Summary

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

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury 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: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of market values at each quarter-end during the period.

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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

6. Other: Interest income includes 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $520,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.21% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 July 31, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,062,725
Temporary Cash Investments 39,393
Futures Contracts—Assets1 22
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (6)
Options on Futures Purchased 9
Liability for Options Written (14)
Total 39,404 5,062,725
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At July 31, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

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

Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond September 2014 (54) (8,146) 15
        122

 

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

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,093,956,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $8,171,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $56,653,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $48,482,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $1,013,005,000 of investment securities and sold $990,914,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2014.

Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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. 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. 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. 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 July 31, 2014, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $2,127,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

6. 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2014, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $2,660,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.06% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 July 31, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 25,947,519
Temporary Cash Investments 1,938,531
Futures Contracts—Assets1 771
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (499)
Total 272 27,886,050
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

E. At July 31, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond September 2014 4,551 625,336 1,862
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2014 4,299 535,696 56
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2014 (846) (100,535) 655
        2,573

 

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

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2014, the fund had available capital losses totaling $281,908,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2015; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $27,483,514,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $402,536,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $521,000,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $118,464,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $74,905,976,000 of investment securities and sold $75,850,079,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Long-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury 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: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

83


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, 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.

Long-Term Treasury Fund

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $283,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.11% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 July 31, 2014, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 2,804,987
Temporary Cash Investments 32,413
Futures Contracts—Assets1 17
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (4)
Options on Futures Purchased 5
Liability for Options Written (8)
Total 32,423 2,804,987
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At July 31, 2014, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

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

Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond September 2014 (30) (4,525) 8
        (10)

 

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

Long-Term Treasury Fund

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,709,157,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $128,248,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $156,611,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $28,363,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $749,212,000 of investment securities and sold $592,514,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2014.

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 Short-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and Vanguard Short-Term Federal 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 the funds. The board also has renewed the investment advisory agreement between Vanguard GNMA Fund and Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington Management). The board determined that renewing each fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

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

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

Vanguard. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades and has advised the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and Short-Term Federal Fund since their inceptions. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

Wellington Management. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has managed the GNMA Fund since the fund’s inception in 1980. The firm and the fund’s management team have depth and stability. The portfolio manager of the GNMA Fund is backed by a team of well-tenured research analysts who help inform his strategic perspective and conduct statistical and cash-flow analysis. Wellington Management has provided high-quality advisory services for the GNMA Fund and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term.

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

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

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 fee rate was 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, which also contain information about the advisory expenses.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the GNMA Fund shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of breakpoints in the fund’s advisory fee schedule with Wellington Management. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase.

The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund, the funds’ 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). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

Distribution by Coupon. A breakdown of the securities in a fund according to coupon rate—the interest rate that an issuer promises to pay, expressed as an annual percentage of face value. Securities with unusually high coupon rates may be subject to call risk, the possibility that they will be redeemed (or “called”) early by the issuer.

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.

92


 

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.

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 177 Vanguard funds.

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

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Bond yields have confounded expectations so far this year. The markets had anticipated that interest rates would continue rising across the board once the Federal Reserve began scaling back its bond purchases. Yields of some shorter­dated bonds did keep drifting higher; however, a revival in demand reversed the course of their longer­dated counterparts. Factors underlying that shift included an economy growing more slowly than expected, heightened geopolitical instability, and the ongoing search for yield on the part of investors.

Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, the decrease in yields translated into stronger returns for Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, which returned 7.02% for the six months ended July 31, 2014. Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned a more modest 2.60% and Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund 0.99%. Investors were less drawn to junk bonds, and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 3.08%. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for Investor Shares).

In terms of relative performance, all but the Intermediate-Term Fund produced returns roughly in line with their benchmark indexes after taking expenses into account. And we are pleased to say that all four funds outperformed their peer groups.


 

The 30-day SEC yields fell for all of the funds over the period. The decreases ranged from 4 basis points for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, which stood at 4.21% on July 31, 2014, to 43 basis points for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, which finished at 4.08%. (One basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)

The pace of bond gains slackened over the latter part of the period
The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 2.16% for the six months. Although bonds have rebounded after posting negative returns for 2013, they lost some momentum in June and July. The yield of the benchmark 10-year U.S.

Treasury note ended the period at 2.56%, down from 2.70% on January 31 but up from 2.47% at the end of May.

Municipal bonds, lifted by the broad bond market’s rally and less restrained by the later decline in Treasury prices, returned 4.15%. Investor demand for tax-exempt income and a limited supply of new issues also helped.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate ex USD Bond Index) returned 3.35%.

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

Stocks posted strong returns despite finishing with a thud
The broad U.S. stock market returned about 8% for the six months despite ending on a negative note. On the cusp of eking out a sixth straight advance, returns tumbled on the period’s final day. Overall, generally strong corporate earnings, investors’ willingness to embrace risk, and the Fed’s resolve to sustain historically low interest rates for an extended time were supportive.

International stocks returned almost 10%, notwithstanding geopolitical flare-ups in the Middle East and Ukraine and some uncertainty about economic growth in China and Europe. Emerging markets, which slumped notably in 2013, led the charge. The developed markets of the Pacific region managed double-digit returns as well. European stocks, despite retreating in July, also finished on positive ground.

Longer-­dated bonds have seen a strong rebound so far this year
The past year or so serves as an example of how holding steady with your investments can work out better than trying to time the markets. In May of 2013, the Fed began bracing investors for a dial-back of its unprecedented bond-buying program designed to speed the economy’s recovery. Many reasonably assumed that curtailing those purchases could hurt bond prices, which did decline through the end of 2013.

The markets rarely evolve as expected, however. Investors who exited the bond market in the second half of 2013 or sought safety in short-term maturities missed out on this year’s strong recovery among longer-dated bonds.

As I noted earlier, the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned more than 7% for the half year, most of it thanks to price appreciation stemming from the fall in longer-term yields. The advisors’ allocation to lower-rated investment-grade bonds, which performed well in light of investors’ appetite for yield, contributed significantly to relative performance.

The fund’s return was close to that of its benchmark and more than 3 percentage points ahead of the average return of peer funds. The comparison with peers is imperfect, however, in part because many hold more shorter-maturity bonds.

The Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds benefited from holding international sovereign bonds, which posted solid gains. The funds’ shorter-than-benchmark durations, however, only proved a positive for the short-term fund, because of the rise in interest rates at that end of the yield curve. (Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond fund’s portfolio to changes in interest rates.)

Allocations in both funds to U.S. Treasuries, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and high-quality asset-backed securities such as auto loans and credit card receivables detracted from performance. A return of just under 1% put the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund ahead of its benchmark and peer group; the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund’s return of 2.60% put it ahead of its peer group but behind its benchmark.

Market predictions about yields often miss the mark
 
U.S. bond yields have been below their historical long-term averages for some time now.
But history has shown that just because yields are low doesn’t mean that they have to
move higher.
 
At the end of 2010, the market believed yields were at such low levels that a significant
rise was in the offing. The dotted line in the chart below shows where the market expected
Treasury yields to be three years down the road (as indicated by the so-called forward yield
curve). For some maturities, those expectations implied that yields would more than double.
 
Bond yields rarely move as expected, however. The black line in the chart shows that Treasury
yields at the end of 2013 were well below market expectations, and in fact even lower than
where they had been three years earlier.
 
While the current low level of yields implies slim returns from bonds in the future, investors
should keep in mind that it remains just as hard today as it was in 2010 to say where yields
will head next.

Although investors were looking for more yield, they weren’t willing to venture too far into junk bond territory. In contrast to the scenario for investment-grade bonds, returns within this segment of the bond market were best for the highest-rated securities, which tend to be most sensitive to interest rate movements. The High-Yield Corporate Fund’s tilt toward such securities helped its results. Even with some dampening from its cash position, the fund returned just over 3%, more or less in line with its benchmark and a little better than its peer group.

For more information about the advisors’ strategies and the funds’ positioning during the year, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows this letter.

International bonds can help diversify interest rate risk
As the Fed continues to trim its bond purchases, we’re likely to see more headlines about the prospect of higher interest rates and lower bond prices. But the latest media speculation is never a sound basis for changing your portfolio’s long-term allocation to bonds, which serve to moderate the much higher volatility of stocks.

Investors can nevertheless reduce their exposure to U.S. interest rate risk by shifting some of their portfolio’s bond allocation into international bonds.

Using nearly three decades’ worth of data from periods when interest rates rose, Vanguard has found that adding international bonds (whether hedged for foreign currency risk or issued in U.S. dollars) can effectively diversify a portfolio of local bonds regardless of the investor’s home country. Much of this benefit arises because the interest rate movements of various markets can cancel one another out to some extent, leading to more stable returns.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that such trends will continue, and diversification doesn’t prevent losses. But it’s unlikely that all interest rates across the globe would increase at the same time or by the same magnitude. (You can read more in Fearful of Rising Interest Rates? Consider a More Global Bond Portfolio, available at vanguard.com/research.)

This strategy of global diversification is simple and straightforward and can make sense in any rate environment. And unlike changes in interest rates, such a strategy is under your control.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

For the six months ended July 31, 2014, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 0.99% for Investor Shares, 1.04% for Admiral Shares, and 1.05% for Institutional Shares. It outpaced its benchmark by a narrow margin. The Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 2.60% for Investor Shares and 2.65% for Admiral Shares, lagging its benchmark.

The Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund—we manage about 10% of its assets—also underperformed its benchmark, with a return of 7.02% for Investor Shares and 7.07% for Admiral Shares. All three funds exceeded the average returns of their peer groups.

The investment environment
Part of the gains made by bonds over the six months can be chalked up to a growing expectation that interest rates will stay low for an extended period.

As part of its third wave of quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve bought about $1 trillion in Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities over the course of 2013. Talk of winding the huge program down initially rattled investors and sent yields higher last year.

But Fed guidance has reassured the market that the tapering will be gradual and interest rates will remain low for a considerable amount of time even after the program ends. This news helped yields at the long end of the curve ease back down this year. (The Fed was still purchasing about $35 billion in assets in July and continuing to reinvest interest payments and proceeds from maturing securities back into Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.)

The fragility of economic growth both at home and abroad also made any rise in rates in the short term look less likely. The pace of growth in many developed markets remained lackluster despite the best efforts of their central banks. In the United States, severe winter weather contributed to a contraction in economic output of almost 3% in the first quarter, although the situation has since improved.

At the same time, demand broadened beyond investors still looking to corporate bonds for more yield. Some large investors such as insurance companies and pension funds pushed up demand as they rebal-anced their portfolios out of equities and into bonds after last year’s stock run-up. And heightened tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East led more risk-averse investors to turn to bonds as a safe harbor for their assets.

Given the level of investor appetite for corporate bonds in particular, the average spread between their yields and those of Treasuries ground even tighter to near precrisis levels. It stood at 99 basis points at the end of the period, compared with 116 six months earlier. (The narrower the

9


 

spread, the less corporate bond investors are being compensated for the risk they are taking.)

With demand high and interest rates unexpectedly moving lower, companies rushed to lock in cheap financing. Corporate issuance increased even compared with the already high level seen in the previous year.

Management of the funds
Throughout the six months, all three funds had durations shorter than those of their benchmark indexes. That stance, which can act as a buffer against rising interest rates, produced mixed results. The flattening of the yield curve benefited the Short-Term Fund but dragged on the relative performance of the Long-Term Fund.

All three funds had holdings outside of corporate bonds. Their allocations to investment-grade international sovereign bonds (denominated in U.S. dollars or fully hedged so as to avoid any currency risk) performed well. This was partly due to the additional steps taken by the European Central Bank to loosen monetary policy within the Eurozone. Emerging-market sovereign bonds also rallied after falling in January.

On the other hand, allocations to Treasuries in the three funds and to asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities in the Short-and Intermediate-Term Funds detracted.

The relative performance of the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund got a boost from its holdings of BBB-rated securities, as lower-rated investment-grade bonds returned more than their higher-rated counterparts.

Positioning of the funds
Corporate bonds have had a strong run; returns may be more modest for the remainder of 2014, and income rather than price appreciation will likely drive performance. Prices may fall if interest rates rise sharply.

We expect U.S. economic growth to pick up. This will allow the Fed to end its bond purchases by the end of this year and begin slowly tightening the federal funds target rate sometime in 2015. The tightening is likely to end, however, at a level below the historical average.

With rising interest rates in the offing, we are entering the second half of the funds’ fiscal year with durations shorter than those of their benchmarks. Because investors are likely to keep reaching for yield, we will continue to favor sectors offering an attractive reward for the level of risk taken.

As an eventual tightening of monetary policy is likely to be accompanied by an increase in market volatility, we will maintain significant levels of liquidity. That precaution should allow us to meet potential shareholder redemptions without

10


 

becoming forced sellers in the market and to take advantage of any price dislocations that may arise.

Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to seek out opportunities to produce competitive returns.

For the Long-­Term Investment­Grade Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2014, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 7.02% for Investor Shares and 7.07% for Admiral Shares. It slightly lagged the 7.15% return of its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index, but far surpassed the 3.38% average return of its peers (which includes funds of shorter durations).

The portion of the fund that we manage (“the portfolio”) represents about 90% of the fund’s assets. It invests primarily in corporate bonds with 10- to 30-year maturities. Its returns are affected by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions that affect the creditworthiness of corporate bond issuers.

The investment environment
Fixed income markets rallied during the period as expectations of prolonged easy monetary policy by major central banks, along with an improving, albeit below-trend, macro environment, suppressed volatility.

Tensions between Ukraine and Russia, violence in Iraq, and Chinese slowdown concerns raised questions about the rate of global growth, keeping a lid on risk appetites overall. Meanwhile, the divergence in central bank monetary policy continued to grow.

The European Central Bank unveiled a set of unconventional measures to fight disinflationary forces and rekindle growth in the Eurozone. The People’s Bank of China announced a set of “mini-stimulus” measures, and the Bank of Japan maintained its easy monetary policy framework. Meanwhile, the Bank of England signaled a possible rise in rates before the end of the year. And the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted at a slightly faster pace of rate hikes starting next year, but with a lower end point.

The Fed continued to unwind its asset-purchase program, tapering it by $10 billion per meeting as expected and lowering the total monthly level to $35 billion in July. In June, the Federal Open Market Committee


 

modestly increased its projections for short-term interest rates in 2015 and 2016, signifying its confidence in the U.S. economic recovery. However, central bank officials slightly lowered their long-term outlook for rates because of a decline in longer-term growth projections.

The portfolio’s successes
Our security selection within banking bonds was strong, and the portfolio benefited by having a greater-than-market exposure to these issuers. Selections among electric bonds and an overweight allocation to the communications industry also boosted relative returns.

The portfolio’s shortfalls
An underweight allocation to taxable municipals detracted from the portfolio’s relative performance. Our underweight to and security selection within technology bonds also hurt, as did our yield curve positioning and spread-duration posture.

The outlook
We continue to view the corporate bond market positively on the basis of low default expectations, the rebound in U.S. economic growth, and favorable corporate fundamentals. We expect modest spread tightening to partially offset higher Treasury yields, but valuation is close to fair.

The U.S. economy returned to growth in the second quarter following a weather-induced first-quarter contraction. We expect fiscal drag to lessen and GDP to grow modestly in the second half of the year. Continued improvement in the U.S. housing and labor markets has increased net worth and should lead to more consumer spending. Emerging-market economic weakness, China property-market deterioration, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine present risks to our outlook. Central bank policies are mixed around the world, leading to more uncertainty.

Corporate fundamentals remain supportive of credit spreads. Leverage has increased but is offset by improved interest coverage; cash balances remain high, and companies will continue to face pressure from activist shareholders. Stockholder-friendly activities such as mergers and acquisitions, share buybacks, and dividend increases have picked up and are likely to accelerate in the second half of 2014.

The corporate bond market’s liquidity remains challenging because of financial regulation, but it has improved as market volatility has declined. Heavy volumes of new issues have helped companies extend the maturity of their debt and reduce borrowing costs. Supply/demand is fairly balanced but could get worse if rates rise too quickly. Corporate pension plans continue to be a source of demand for corporate debt as they implement liability-driven investment strategies and de-risk out of equities.

The timing, pace, and magnitude of any further upturns in interest rates will determine the future performance of fixed income markets and may well contribute to negative total returns. However, many


 

of the forces that kept yields low in recent years (such as easy monetary policies, subdued inflation, and global slowdown fears) remain in place.

The portfolio’s position in long-term investment-grade bonds should contribute to income stability. The major risks are, of course, a further rise in long-term interest rates and/or a widening in corporate bond risk premiums.

The portfolio generally purchases bonds of large, well-established companies with stable operating histories.

For the High­Yield Corporate Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2014, Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 3.08%, compared with its benchmark’s return of 3.33%.

The investment environment
A combination of lower U.S. Treasury yields and tighter high-yield bond spreads contributed to the fund’s performance. U.S. economic data improved during the second quarter after weather-induced first-quarter weakness. The Federal Reserve continued to provide monetary stimulus even as it wound down its asset purchases.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield started the year at 2.97% before declining to end January 2014 at 2.70%. This downward trend persisted over the half year, reaching 2.56% by the end of July. Because bond yields and prices are inversely related, bond prices rose. Credit-sensitive sectors, including the high-yield market, rallied along with equities as ongoing improvements to employment, housing, and manufacturing data offset geopolitical concerns in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Performance by credit quality was mixed. Ba-rated bonds did best because of their greater sensitivity to interest rates, returning 3.77% according to Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index. Meanwhile, Caa-rated bonds benefited from spread tightening and greater coupon income and returned 3.59%; B-rated bonds returned 2.92%. The spread of the high-yield market narrowed from 404 basis points over Treasuries on January 31 to 388 basis points as of July 31.

Corporate fundamentals remain healthy, and debt levels at most companies are stable. We expect continued U.S. GDP growth in 2014 and 2015 and believe most high-yield companies will be able to sustain solid credit profiles. The pickup in shareholder-friendly actions such as merger and acquisition activity and weakening bondholder covenants may put pressure on balance sheets. But at this point, the

13


 

default experience remains benign. Moody’s trailing 12-month speculative grade default rate was 2.2% as of the end of June, still well below the long-term average of 3.9%.

The new-issue calendar is robust; the U.S. high-yield market raised $199 billion in the first seven months of the year. Companies have benefited from strong investor demand by refinancing their debt at lower interest costs and pushing maturities into the future.

However, after the risk rally of the last few years, the difference in spread between low- and high-quality bonds is nearing record lows. This means there is minimal spread pickup to be gained for taking on greater default risk, and we believe that a high-quality bias is therefore prudent at this point.

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

The fund’s shortfalls
Holdings in cash were a drag on relative performance. Relative weightings in the wireline sector and credit selection in technology and utilities detracted as well. The fund also suffered from its shorter duration positioning relative to the benchmark.

The fund’s positioning
The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a significant exposure to relatively higher-quality names. We believe these credits have more consistent businesses and greater predictability of cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum. We prefer higher-quality credits in an effort to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify holdings by issuer and industry.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade 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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers three classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

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

3. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to

31


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 7% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of market values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the

32


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The aggregate notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

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

33


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

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

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of pre-qualified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average total amount of interest rate swaps represented 4% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average total amount of cross currency swaps represented less than 1% of net assets based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

6. 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

9. 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $4,994,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $2,360,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized losses of $201,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $49,472,801,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $260,867,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $481,001,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $220,134,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $11,787,492,000 of investment securities and sold $10,033,843,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $8,990,700,000 and $8,934,944,000, respectively.

Performance Summary

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

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade 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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

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

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

3. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented 7% of net assets, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The aggregate notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

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

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

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of pre-qualified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average total amount of interest rate swaps represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average total amount of cross currency swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

6. 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

7. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

9. 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $1,790,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.72% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

At July 31, 2014, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $11,663,000 in connection with open swap contracts and forward currency contracts.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund realized net foreign currency lossess of $243,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $3,738,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $17,560,358,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $405,475,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $553,662,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $148,187,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade 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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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 values 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

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

3. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 4% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average market values.

4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The aggregate notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on quarterly average notional amounts.

5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.

The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.

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

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to

89


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of pre-qualified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 14% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average total amount of interest rate swaps represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

6. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counter-party’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

7. 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

8. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

10. 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. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides 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 Vanguard Group provides investment advisory services to a portion of the fund on an at-cost basis; the fund paid Vanguard advisory fees of $530,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2014.

For the six months ended July 31, 2014, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $1,535,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.61% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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).

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

At July 31, 2014, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $6,865,000 in connection with open swap contracts.

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $32,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $9,852,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,488,894,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,650,925,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,708,080,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $57,155,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $1,716,655,000 of investment securities and sold $1,187,362,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $260,566,000 and $259,646,000, respectively.

Performance Summary

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

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary
As of July 31, 2014

This Statement summarizes the fund’s holdings by asset type. Details are reported for each of the fund’s 50 largest individual holdings and for investments that, in total for any issuer, represent more than 1% of the fund’s net assets. The total value of smaller holdings is reported as a single amount within each category.

The fund reports a complete list of its holdings in regulatory filings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the complete listing of the fund’s holdings is available electronically on vanguard.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (sec.gov), or you can have it mailed to you without charge by calling 800-662-7447. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the SEC on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

High-Yield Corporate Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard High-Yield Corporate 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 invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market values 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

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

3. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only

109


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The aggregate notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized forward currency contract gains (losses).

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

4. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counter-parties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counter-party’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.

5. 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 (January 31, 2011–2014), and for the period ended July 31, 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

6. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2014, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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. Wellington Management Company, LLP, provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2014, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At July 31, 2014, the fund had contributed capital of $1,765,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.71% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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).

E. At July 31, 2014, the fund had open forward currency contracts to receive and deliver currencies as follows. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open forward currency contracts is treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

            1,632

 

BNPSW—BNP Paribas.
CSFBI—Credit Suisse First Boston International.
DBAG—Deutsche Bank AG.

At July 31, 2014, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $1,678,000 in connection with forward currency contracts.

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $36,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2014, the fund had available capital losses totaling $290,627,000 to offset future net capital gains. Of this amount, $289,533,000 is subject to expiration on January 31, 2018. Capital losses of $1,094,000 realized beginning in fiscal 2012 may be carried forward indefinitely under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, but must be used

before any expiring loss carryforward. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2015; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2014, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $16,342,801,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $679,430,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $748,209,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $68,779,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the fund purchased $2,842,615,000 of investment securities and sold $2,550,456,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $0 and $92,825,000, respectively.

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

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”

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

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

Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,023.65 $1.15
Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,024.15 0.65

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 Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares, 0.10% for Admiral Shares, and 0.07% for Institutional Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares; for the High-Yield Corporate Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Admiral 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Investment-Grade Funds 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 the funds. The board also has renewed the investment advisory arrangements between Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds and the funds’ advisor, Wellington Management Company, LLP (Wellington Management). The board determined that renewing each fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered 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 each advisor. The board noted the following:

Vanguard. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades and has advised the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds since their inceptions, and a portion of the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund since 2013. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

Wellington Management. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has managed the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds since their inceptions. The firm and the funds’ management teams have depth and stability. The portfolio managers of the funds are backed by well-tenured teams of research analysts who conduct detailed fundamental analysis. Wellington Management has provided high-quality advisory services for the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds and has demonstrated strong organizational depth and stability over both the short and long term.

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

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

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that each fund’s advisory fee rate was 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, which also include information about the advisory expenses.

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

The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds’ shareholders benefit from economies of scale because of the breakpoints in each fund’s advisory fee schedule with Wellington Management. The breakpoints reduce the effective rate of the fee as the fund’s assets increase.

The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Investment-Grade Funds, the funds’ 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). “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For this report, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used.

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.

118


 

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 177 Vanguard funds.

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