Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Many investors had expected yields to continue climbing across the board in 2014, but that’s not what happened.

The Federal Reserve’s winding down of its stimulative bond-buying program and subsequent bracing of the markets for a rise in interest rates did push short-term yields higher over the 12 months ended January 31, 2015. But intermediate- and long-term yields fell as prospects for the global economy grew more clouded, geopolitical tensions flared, and any upswing in inflation appeared more distant.

Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, the environment was positive overall for the bond market, with a strong recovery playing out among longer-dated securities. Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund returned 28.47%, the lion’s share of that from appreciation in bond prices. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for the funds’ Investor Shares.) Price appreciation played a smaller role in the returns of the three U.S. government bond funds focused on shorter-dated securities. Their returns ranged from 5.38% for Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund to 1.01% for Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund.

In terms of relative performance, Vanguard GNMA Fund outpaced its benchmark, while the three shorter-term funds lagged; the Long-Term Treasury Fund performed more or less on par with its index. The Short-Term Treasury, Long-Term Treasury, and GNMA Funds came in ahead of the average of their peers, but Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund and the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund fell behind.

As the yield curve flattened, the 30-day SEC yield for the Short-Term Treasury Fund climbed 13 basis points over the fiscal year, to 0.47%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) By contrast, that yield fell for the four other funds, by as little as 4 basis points to as much as 124.

Fixed income returns surged, helped by stimulus abroad

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 6.61% for the 12 months. Monetary stimulus efforts abroad added to the allure of yields in the United States, and volatility in equity markets sent nervous investors in search of safer havens. Although the spread in yields between investment-grade corporate bonds and Treasuries widened, corporates’ greater income helped them return close to 9%.

Municipal bonds also returned almost 9%, helped by greater demand and reduced supply as well as the broader bond market’s advance.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned roughly –6%; they performed poorly in large part because of the strength of the U.S. dollar.

The Fed’s target of 0%–0.25% for short-term interest rates continued to hold down returns for money market funds and savings accounts.

U.S. stocks posted strong results despite facing many challenges

Volatility picked up toward the end of the period, and flat results in December turned negative in January. Nonetheless, the broad U.S. stock market returned about 13% for the 12 months. Mostly robust U.S. corporate earnings and stimulus efforts outside the United States helped domestic equities overcome worries about lofty stock valuations, plunging oil prices, and economic weakness abroad.

The Bank of Japan, European Central Bank, and People’s Bank of China all embarked on aggressive stimulus actions. Although that was a positive for international equity markets, their performance was dampened by numerous geopolitical challenges and the strong U.S. dollar. International stocks returned about 1% in dollar terms; emerging markets stocks outpaced those of the developed markets of the Pacific and Europe.

The decline in longer yields accelerated in the second half

After stumbling at the beginning of 2014, the U.S. economy showed signs of gaining traction. The improvement was enough for the Fed to end its bond-buying program in October. But it wasn’t enough for the central bank to begin raising interest rates, especially with inflation later falling even further below the Fed’s 2% target as the price of oil plummeted.

The combination of moderate growth, continued easy monetary policy, and low inflation helped spur investor appetite for bonds. Other factors included turmoil in

the Middle East and Eastern Europe and foreign investors’ greater interest in U.S. bonds given their comparatively higher yields and the strong dollar.

With yields at the long end of the Treasury curve falling most steeply, the Long-Term Treasury Fund returned more than 28%, roughly in line with its benchmark and well ahead of its peer-group average.

The Short-Term Treasury, Short-Term Federal, and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds, which saw less yield movement, produced returns ranging from just over 1% to more than 5%. The shorter-than-benchmark durations of all three funds contributed to their subpar relative returns. Of the three, only Short-Term Treasury outpaced its peer-group average.

In October, the Fixed Income Group invested roughly 5% of the three Treasury funds’ assets in government mortgage-backed securities. The hope is that, over the long haul, these securities will provide a diversification benefit as well as some incremental income over Treasuries. However, they weighed on performance this time around.

The Short-Term Federal Fund’s overweight allocation to agency debt helped its relative performance.

The GNMA Fund returned 5.29%, outpacing both its benchmark and its peer-group average. The fund primarily invests in Government National Mortgage Association pass-through certificates, which come with a government guarantee.

As strong demand from investors made GNMAs expensive, though, the fund’s advisor, Wellington Management Company, succeeded in boosting relative

performance through stakes in other government mortgage-backed securities where it saw more value. Selection among GNMA securities was a positive as well.

Income remains an important contributor to returns over the long term

Some investors have been unsettled by the wide swings in bond prices in recent years. Price movements drove the total return for the U.S. bond market into negative territory in 2013 and contributed to the strong rebound in 2014.

Over the long haul, however, income tends to be a bigger driver of bond performance. That was true even over the past decade, when yields moved significantly lower. The chart below, which includes the annualized returns for the five bond funds in this report over the last ten years, shows that income contributed from 69% to 80% of the total return for three of those funds. Even for the intermediate- and long-term funds, which are more susceptible to price changes, income accounted for 62% and 52%, respectively, of the total return.

So keep in mind that while price swings may make headlines, income is still the bigger part of the story for patient bond investors who resist the urge to jump in and out of the market.

The funds maintained low costs over a decade of ups and downs

Costs are a key factor in determining how much of a fund’s return investors actually get to keep. We’ve worked hard at keeping our fund costs low; our most recent data show that the annual expense ratios for the government bond funds discussed in this report were all under 22 basis points for Investor Shares (and roughly half that for Admiral Shares). At that rate, you would pay less than $2.20 per year in fund expenses on a $1,000 investment—well below the average for the funds’ peers. (See the expense ratio table on page 6.)

Low costs, along with the skill of the advisors, helped most of our government bond funds perform roughly in line with their expense-free benchmarks over the decade ended January 31, 2015. Most also outpaced the average return of their peers.

Although volatility is inevitable, you don’t have to “inherit” it

In January, Tim Buckley, Vanguard’s chief investment officer, and I answered questions from clients as part of a live webcast. It was a great opportunity to hear what you’re thinking, offer insights, and reinforce some of Vanguard’s key principles.

Not surprisingly, after January’s sharp fluctuations in the markets, volatility came up as a concern. The broad stock market had several swings of more than 1% during the month. Bond yields, meanwhile, moved sharply lower as prices rallied.

Our response? Tim and I both stressed that how you react—or don’t react—to such jolts can determine how you ultimately fare as an investor. That’s why one of those key principles highlights the need to maintain perspective and long-term discipline. (You can read Vanguard’s Principles for Investing Success at vanguard.com/research.)

Tim noted that the best course for long-term investors is simply to ignore daily market moves. He pointed out that investors “inherit” what would otherwise be fleeting volatility when they sell in response to a market downturn. As Tim put it, the only way to truly have a loss is to act and realize that loss.

Those are wise words to keep in mind when markets turn stormy again.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer February 11, 2015

Advisors’ Report

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

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2015, returns for the U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group spanned a wide range, from 1.01% for Investor Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund to 28.60% for Admiral Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund. The Long-Term Treasury Fund nearly matched the return of its benchmark, while the other funds lagged theirs. Compared with the average return of their peers, the Short- and Long-Term Treasury Funds outperformed and the Short-Term Federal and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds fell behind.

The investment environment

The U.S. economy grew about 2.4% in 2014, thanks in part to an expansion in corporate hiring and investment. The unemployment rate declined a full percentage point to 5.7% over the 12 months ended January 31, and inflation moderated on the heels of a drop in commodity prices. The Federal Reserve remained convinced that a mid-2015 interest rate hike was possible, largely because of the labor market improvement. It concluded its asset purchase program of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities in October.

Even as the U.S. economy expanded, the global economy slowed, setting up divergent monetary policies among the central banks of developed countries.

The United States edged toward a tighter policy as the rest of the world generally loosened, helping the U.S. dollar appreciate by more than 15%. The stronger dollar, declining headline inflation, and an improving U.S. fiscal deficit kept a lid on long-term interest rates.

Global central banks’ relaxation of their monetary policies culminated in January when the European Central Bank announced a quantitative easing program, with purchases to begin in March. G10 sovereign rates declined sharply over the latter half of 2014, making U.S. interest rates more attractive for foreign investors. As a result of these purchases and slowing inflation, U.S. Treasury yield curve spreads narrowed. Long-term interest rates fell significantly, and short-maturity rates rose only modestly. (See the yield table on page 11.)

Management of the funds

For the fiscal year, the funds had shorter durations than their benchmark indexes. This strategy, designed to protect the funds from rising interest rates, dragged on performance as rates generally declined throughout the period.

Overweight allocations to mortgage-backed securities also hurt the funds when these securities failed to keep pace with Treasuries as rates fell sharply in January. We maintained our position, however, as mortgage-backed securities are expected to outperform over the long run.

Strategies that added to the results of the Treasury funds included opportunistic duration positions and ones that sought to capture yield-curve-spread changes over various time frames.

The Short-Term Federal Fund also focused on relative value within the agency and mortgage-backed securities sectors, where selection boosted performance.

The outlook

In the year ahead, the Fed is likely to raise its emergency rate level of near 0% by at least 25 basis points. The timing and scope of increases, however, will still depend on several factors. These include the pace of expansion in the economy, gains in employment and wages, and stability in the core personal consumer expenditure price index—the Fed’s preferred inflation measure. The forces that held long-term interest rates lower last year are expected to factor against a rapid rise in 2015.

This scenario could be derailed, however, if there were a sharp reacceleration in headline inflation, inflation expectations, or both, which most likely would push up long-term interest rates. In their annual outlook, our economists highlighted an expectation for a backdrop for price increases similar to those of recent years, with inflation of 1% to 3% likely over the medium term. We anticipate, therefore, a return to a low but positive headline inflation rate late in 2015 and a slow, modest rise in interest rates this year.

12


 

However, exiting from the rate levels of the financial crisis era may prove challenging for the Fed; the markets, much as they did in 2013, may experience more interest rate volatility. Bond returns are likely to remain low for some time, but higher yields generally should prove welcome, allowing the funds to reinvest income at higher rates.

Management of your funds remains robust. The recent changes to the portfolio managers at the helm of the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund, as well as to senior leadership in the Fixed Income Group, reflect a rotation of assignments within Vanguard. Our investment philosophy, strategy, and overall portfolio process have not changed, and we remain focused on producing competitive returns.

For the GNMA Fund

Investor Shares of Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 5.29% and Admiral Shares returned 5.39% for the12 months ended January 31, 2015. The fund outpaced its benchmark index as well as the average return of its peers.

Investment environment

The U.S. economy began 2014 on a weak note as bad weather hindered growth in the first quarter. But it quickly rebounded and went on to post, in the third quarter, its strongest improvement in more than a decade. Job growth continued at a steady pace, and the unemployment rate fell to a six-year low. Consumer confidence inched higher, buoyed as gasoline prices began falling in the second half of the year. The housing recovery progressed in fits and starts, and home prices moderated after posting a strong gain in 2013.

The Federal Reserve ended the quantitative easing program begun in 2008, reflecting its confidence in the recovery at home despite the global slowdown. In December, it took another step toward normalizing policy by replacing a pledge to keep borrowing costs low for a “considerable time” with an assurance that it would be “patient” about the timing of an eventual interest rate increase.

Developed-market bond yields fell over the fiscal year as global economic fears kept central banks accommodative. The U.S. Treasury curve flattened. Longer-term interest rates declined, aided by demand for safe-haven assets and the outlook for low inflation, and shorter-dated Treasury yields rose in anticipation of tighter Fed monetary policy. The outperformance of U.S. bonds compared with their global counterparts led to rising volatility, and the U.S. dollar index hit an eight-year high in December.

As a group, agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) posted total returns of 5.38%. This lagged the performance of duration-equivalent Treasuries by 0.54 percentage point for the fiscal year, as measured by the Barclays MBS Fixed Rate Index.

Overall, the mortgage market managed to weather a number of potential challenges. The Fed completed its MBS purchase program in October but will continue to reinvest prepayments from its existing holdings. In 2014, the U.S. government announced programs aimed at streamlining MBS issuance and increasing the availability of mortgage credit to homeowners.

This could result in increasing supply or prepayment speeds or both. However, the market took most of these changes in stride, downplaying the probability of a significant impact. Further, although interest rates fell, homeowner refinancing rates didn’t drop quite as much, which kept a lid on prepayments and gross supply. Net supply also underwhelmed through much of the year, probably because of a still-constrained mortgage credit environment.

Volatility remained generally low. It did, however, pick up late last year as the drop in oil prices, geopolitical concerns, and the timing of the Fed’s next move introduced more uncertainty. In January, the U.S. government surprised the market by announcing that the Federal Housing Administration would reduce annual mortgage insurance premiums for both FHA purchase and refinance mortgages.

GNMA mortgages underperformed the broader agency mortgage market during the period as they grappled with increased production, diminished bank demand, and the expectation of faster prepayments. January’s announcement of the reduced mortgage insurance premiums was especially hard on GNMA MBS, because the changes are likely to make GNMA mortgages easier to refinance. Adjusting for duration, performance was weakest in low-coupon GNMAs, including those with 3.0%, 3.5%, and 4.0% coupons.

14


 

Fund successes

The fund outpaced its benchmark for the period. It was positioned with an underweight to GNMA MBS in favor of out-of-benchmark allocations to Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) MBS, as well as Fannie Mae multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing securities (DUS). These allocations benefited performance as conventional loans outperformed GNMAs.

Our GNMA holdings were underweighted in lower-coupon (3.0% and 3.5%) mortgages, which bore the brunt of investors’ faster prepayment expectations. A slight overweighting of older, seasoned, higher-coupon mortgages also helped.

Fund shortfalls

The fund’s allocation to agency collateralized mortgage obligations detracted modestly from relative returns.

Fund positioning

We remain tactically cautious about the MBS sector. Spreads are tight at present, but they could come under pressure should volatility increase substantially from its currently low level. Our expectations for spread widening are constrained over the longer term, however, because increases in the supply of Treasuries should support mortgages. In addition, the attractiveness of the U.S. rate structure compared with those of other developed markets should drive demand from international buyers.

Given our slight underweighting to the MBS sector, we are replacing some lost income with assets with more attractive convexity profiles, such as Fannie Mae DUS bonds, which should perform better if volatility rises. We also see conventional MBS as having better value than GNMAs, and we have out-of-benchmark allocations to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages.

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.

1 Securities with a value of $2,646,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.

2 The issuer was placed under federal conservatorship in September 2008; since that time, its daily operations have been managed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and it receives capital from the U.S. Treasury, as needed to maintain a positive net worth, in exchange for senior preferred stock.

3 The average or expected maturity is shorter than the final maturity shown because of the possibility of interim principal payments and prepayments or the possibility of the issue being called.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-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 settlement values 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).

28


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 3% 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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.

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $1,043,000 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 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, 2012–2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

29


 

Short-Term Treasury 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 January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $650,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.26% 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).

30


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 7,297,455
Temporary Cash Investments 16,130

Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (632)
Total 15,141 7,297,455
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At January 31, 2015, 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)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (1,317) (289,432) (587)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 496 64,914 338
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (161) (24,356) (1,518)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (116) (14,076) (104)
Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (43) (7,694) (555)
        (2,426)

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $759,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

The fund had available capital losses totaling $2,928,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

31


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,266,951,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $46,634,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $46,787,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $153,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $6,664,562,000 of investment securities and sold $5,880,861,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

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 settlement values 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).

Short-Term Federal Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 4% 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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.

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $1,380,000 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 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, 2012–2015), 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.

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 January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $472,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.19% 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).

D. At January 31, 2015, 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)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (1,018) (223,721) (36)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 1,073 130,202 218
30-Year U. S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (178) (26,928) (1,690)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (112) (14,658) (181)
Ultra Long U. S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (28) (5,010) (361)
        (2,050)

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $331,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $9,541,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2015, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had $2,930,000 of short-term gains available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Short-Term Federal Fund

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,785,536,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $28,856,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $33,070,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,214,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $16,625,171,000 of investment securities and sold $15,792,974,000 of investment securities, other temporary cash investments.

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 settlement values 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).

61


 

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 3% 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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.

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $941,000 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 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, 2012–2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

62


 

Intermediate-Term Treasury 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 January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $523,000 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).

    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (33) (5,905) (426)
        (1,861)

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $1,699,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $3,725,000 and $2,045,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

(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.

GNMA Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard GNMA 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. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of 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 year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and 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 January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts cash with a value of $2,744,000 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 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.

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, 2012–2015), 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 January 31, 2015, 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $2,513,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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 January 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 25,106,154 31,205
Temporary Cash Investments 2,994,182
Futures Contracts—Assets1 2,818
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (4,208)
Total (1,390) 28,100,336 31,205
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

E. At January 31, 2015, 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 March 2015 2,703 408,913 19,926
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (3,124) (408,854) (2,423)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (2,279) (276,542) (5,413)
        12,090

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $4,123,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

GNMA Fund

The fund used a capital loss carryforward of $281,908,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2015, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $68,337,000 and $64,195,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $27,424,540,000.

Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $707,001,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $756,281,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $49,280,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $175,560,470,000 of investment securities and sold $178,115,344,000 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 settlement values 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).

95


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 2% and 3% 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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.

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $560,000 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 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, 2012–2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

96


 

Long-Term Treasury 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 January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $321,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.13% 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).

97


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2015, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 3,869,934
Temporary Cash Investments 35,169

Total 34,783 3,869,934
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At January 31, 2015, 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)

10-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 279 36,514 191
30-Year U. S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (69) (10,438) (631)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note March 2015 (32) (3,883)
Ultra Long U. S. Treasury Bond March 2015 (18) (3,221) (232)
        (954)

 

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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $5,306,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $7,343,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2015, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had $3,415,000 of short-term capital gains and $22,627,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

98


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,238,992,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $666,111,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains of $666,111,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $2,375,120,000 of investment securities and sold $1,752,857,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Glossary

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

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

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

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

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. For the federal and Treasury funds, credit-quality ratings are from Moody’s and S&P. The higher rating for each issue is shown. For the GNMA Fund, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available.

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.

105


 

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,

Many investors had expected yields to continue climbing across the board in 2014, but that’s not what happened.

The Federal Reserve’s winding down of its stimulative bond-buying program and subsequent bracing of the markets for a rise in interest rates did push short-term yields higher over the 12 months ended January 31, 2015. But intermediate- and long-term yields fell as the prospects for the global economy grew more clouded, geopolitical tensions flared, and any upswing in inflation appeared more distant.

Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, the environment was positive overall for the bond market, with a strong recovery playing out among longer-dated securities. Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 19.98%, with roughly three-quarters of that from an appreciation in bond prices. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for the funds’ Investor Shares.)

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund also got a boost from price changes, while the effect was minimal for Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund and negative for Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund. Returns of these three funds ranged from 2.03% to 6.71%.

In terms of relative performance, the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds lagged their benchmarks; the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-

Yield Corporate Funds outpaced theirs. All four funds bested the average returns of their peers.

With the yield curve flattening, the 30-day SEC yield of the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund held steady over the fiscal year at 1.56%; it fell 49 basis points for the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, to 2.32%, and fell 97 basis points for the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, to 3.54%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) In contrast, the 30-day SEC yield of the High-Yield Corporate Fund rose 74 basis points, to 4.99%.

The High-Yield Corporate Fund now uses a more fitting benchmark

This is the first time we are reporting the performance of the High-Yield Corporate Fund against its new benchmark composite index, which consists of 95% Barclays U.S. High-Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Index and 5% Barclays U.S. 1–5 Year Treasury Bond Index. As we mentioned when we made the change in November, we believe that the composite index is a better yardstick for the portfolio. It more closely reflects the portfolio’s longtime strategy of investing in higher-rated securities in the below-investment-grade category while maintaining some exposure to very liquid assets.

Fixed income returns surged, helped by stimulus abroad

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 6.61% for the 12 months. Monetary stimulus efforts abroad added to the allure of yields in the United States, and volatility in equity markets sent nervous investors in search of safer havens.

Demand drove yields lower at the longer end of the curve in particular. While the 2-year Treasury yield, for example, rose 17 basis points to 0.52% over the fiscal year, the 10-year Treasury yield fell 95 basis points to 1.75% and the 30-year Treasury yield fell 132 basis points to 2.32%.

Municipal bonds returned almost 9%, helped by greater demand and reduced supply as well as the broader bond market’s advance.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned roughly –6%; the poor performance was largely due to the strength of the U.S. dollar.

The Fed’s target of 0%–0.25% for short-term interest rates continued to hold down returns for money market funds and savings accounts.

U.S. stocks posted strong results despite facing many challenges

Volatility picked up toward the end of the period, and flat results in December turned negative in January. Nonetheless, the broad U.S. stock market returned about 13% for the 12 months. Mostly robust U.S. corporate earnings and monetary stimulus efforts outside the United States helped domestic equities overcome worries about lofty stock valuations, plunging oil prices, and economic weakness abroad.

The Bank of Japan, European Central Bank, and People’s Bank of China all embarked on aggressive stimulus actions. Although that was a positive for international equity markets, their performance was dampened by the strong U.S. dollar as well as numerous geopolitical challenges. International stocks returned about 1% in dollar terms; emerging-market stocks outpaced those of the developed markets of the Pacific and Europe.

The decline in longer yields accelerated in the second half

After stumbling at the beginning of 2014, the U.S. economy showed signs of gaining traction. The improvement was enough for the Fed to end its bond-buying program in October. But the central bank felt it wasn’t enough to warrant raising interest rates, especially as a slide in the price of oil pushed inflation even further below the Fed’s 2% target.

This combination of moderate economic growth, continued easy monetary policy, and low inflation helped spur investor appetite for bonds. Other factors included turmoil in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and foreign investors’ greater interest in U.S. bonds given their comparatively higher yields and the strong dollar.

With long-term bond yields falling most steeply, the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned almost 20% for the period. Its shorter-than-benchmark duration, underweighting of taxable municipal bonds, and out-of-benchmark allocation to BBB-rated bonds detracted from relative performance. The advisors more than made up for that, though, through strong security selection and a tilt toward the financial sector over industrials. Particularly, an underweight to bonds issued by energy companies was helpful.

Having a short duration relative to its benchmark detracted from the Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund’s relative performance. However, the Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund’s positions in bonds with maturities

greater than 5 years, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities, helped versus its benchmark as the yield curve flattened.

Both the Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds’ out-of-benchmark holdings in asset-backed securities and Treasury bonds (held for liquidity purposes and diversification) contributed to their underperformance. They fared better than the average for their peers, however, by favoring financials over industrials.

Income remains an important contributor to returns over the long term

Some investors have been unsettled by the wide swings in bond prices in recent years. Price movements drove the total return for the U.S. bond market into negative territory in 2013 and contributed to the strong rebound in 2014.

Over the long haul, however, income tends to be a bigger driver of bond performance. That was true even over the past decade, when yields moved significantly lower. The chart below, which includes the annualized returns for the four bond funds in this letter over the last ten years, shows that income contributed 82% or more of the total return for three of those funds. Even for the long-term fund, which is the most susceptible to price changes, income accounted for roughly three-quarters of its total return.

So keep in mind that while price swings may make headlines, income is still the bigger part of the story for patient bond investors who resist the urge to jump in and out of the market.

Investors became more discerning in the second half of the period about risk among high-yield bonds, especially those issued by energy companies. With the price of oil tumbling, these securities fell out of favor, helping drive down results for the high-yield energy category to roughly –8% for the fiscal year. Limited exposure to that category helped the High-Yield Corporate Fund outpace its new benchmark and its peer group average. Security selection also helped, as the fund did not hold some of the poorest performers.

For a more detailed discussion of the management of the funds, please see the Advisors’ Report that follows this letter.

The funds maintained low costs over a decade of ups and downs

Costs are a key factor in determining how much of a fund’s return investors actually get to keep. We’ve worked hard at keeping our fund costs low; our most recent data show that the annual expense ratios for the corporate bond funds discussed in this report were all under 24 basis points for Investor Shares (and roughly half that for Admiral Shares). At that rate, you would pay less than $2.40 per year in fund expenses on a $1,000 investment—well below the average for the funds’ peers. (See the expense ratio table on page 4.)

Low costs, along with the skill of the advisors, helped all four funds return more than the average for their peers over the decade ended January 31, 2015. The Short- and Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Funds fell short of their expense-free benchmarks, while the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund came out ahead. (The High-Yield Corporate Fund’s new benchmark doesn’t yet have a ten-year record.)

Although volatility is inevitable, you don’t have to “inherit” it

In January, Tim Buckley, Vanguard’s chief investment officer, and I answered questions from shareholders as part of a live webcast. It was a great opportunity to hear what you’re thinking, offer insights, and reinforce some of Vanguard’s key principles.

Not surprisingly, after January’s sharp fluctuations in the markets, volatility came up as a concern. The broad stock market had several daily swings of more than 1% during the month. Bond yields, meanwhile, moved sharply lower as prices rallied.

Our response? Tim and I both stressed that how you react—or don’t react—to such jolts can determine how you ultimately fare as an investor. That’s why one of those key principles highlights the need to maintain perspective and long-term discipline. (You can read Vanguard’s Principles for Investing Success at vanguard.com/research.)

Tim noted that the best course for long-term investors is simply to ignore daily market moves. He pointed out that investors “inherit” what would otherwise be fleeting volatility when they sell in response to a market downturn. As Tim put it, the only way to truly have a loss is to act and realize that loss.

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Fixed Income Group

For the Short-, Intermediate-, and Long-Term Investment-Grade Funds

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2015, Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 2.03% for Investor Shares, 2.13% for Admiral Shares, and 2.16% for Institutional Shares, a little behind the return of its benchmark. Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 6.71% for Investor Shares and 6.81% for Admiral Shares, lagging its benchmark.

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund—we manage about 10% of its assets—outpaced its benchmark with a return of 19.98% for Investor Shares and 20.10% for Admiral Shares. All three funds came in well ahead of the averages for their peer groups.

The investment environment

Over the 12 months, the United States was on a different trajectory than much of the rest of the world. The Eurozone and Japan grappled with anemic growth and deflationary pressures, and China saw its pace of economic expansion shift down a gear. Their central banks responded with interest rate cuts and quantitative easing aimed at reversing those trends.

In contrast, the U.S. economic picture continued to brighten. A contraction in the first quarter of 2014 that was due in part to the harsh winter was followed by sustained improvements in the job market and an upturn in consumer and business spending. With the economy expanding at a good clip, the Federal Reserve saw fit to conclude its quantitative easing at the end of October.

Although the Fed reassured the markets that interest rates were likely to remain low for some time after its bond-buying program ended, it signaled that further strengthening of the economy would eventually lead it to raise the federal funds target rate for the first time since 2006.

That forward guidance helped bond yields at the very short end of the curve to finish the funds’ fiscal year higher than where they had started. Other yields, however, moved lower even as the Fed tapered its bond purchases, with long bonds seeing the biggest drop. Risk-averse investors, seeking a safe harbor from volatility driven by geopolitical tensions, stepped in and helped counter slackening demand from the Fed. International investors were increasingly attracted to U.S. bonds as well, given their comparatively high yields and the strong dollar.

The spread in yields widened between corporate investment-grade bonds and U.S. Treasuries. It started the fiscal year at 116 basis points, not far from pre-financial-crisis levels, but with the spread for energy sector bonds almost doubling as the price of oil plummeted, the spread for corporate investment-grade bonds as a whole finished at 136 basis points.

11


 

With demand high and interest rates moving lower, corporate issuance for the period roughly matched the high level seen in the previous fiscal year.

Management of the funds

In all three funds, being overweighted in financials and underweighted in industrials proved a good call. The balance sheets of many banks continued to strengthen after regulatory changes enacted in the wake of the financial crisis. Industrials, on the other hand, saw a lot of activity that tends to weaken creditworthiness, including share buybacks and mergers and acquisitions. Within industrials, energy-related companies in particular were hit hard by the fall in the price of oil; we were underweighted in this segment before the slide began. All three funds had holdings outside their benchmarks, notably in asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which gave them greater diversification across the credit market.

The three funds’ underweight allocations to taxable municipal bonds and their short durations (a measure of sensitivity to changes in interest rates) detracted from their relative performance.

Our security selection in the Short- and Intermediate-Term Funds was subpar in some segments. On the other hand, their holdings in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, although small, were a positive. (These positions are hedged to mitigate currency risk.)

For the Long-Term Fund, security selection in banking and utilities in particular added value. Reducing our allocation to BBB-rated bonds early on in the fiscal year also helped as that quality category underperformed in second half.

Positioning of the funds

With the U.S. economy expected to remain resilient amid the global slowdown, the Fed is likely to begin monetary tightening later this year.

Given the prospect of rising interest rates, we are keeping funds’ durations slightly shorter than those of their benchmarks.

As a rise in rates will probably trigger more market volatility, we have significant liquidity in the funds. That should allow us to take advantage of any price dislocations and meet potential shareholder redemptions without being forced to sell.

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.

Wellington Management Company LLP For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

As mentioned above, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 19.98% for Investor Shares and 20.10% for Admiral Shares for the 12 months ended January 31, 2015. It outpaced the 19.54% return of its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index, and the 8.44% average return of its peers, which contains both intermediate- and long-term funds.

The portion of the fund that we manage (“the portfolio”) invests primarily in corporate bonds with maturities of 10 to 30 years. The portfolio’s returns are influenced by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions that affect the creditworthiness of corporate bond issuers.

Investment environment

Fixed income markets rallied during the period, fueled by falling global interest rates amid weakening global growth and persistent geopolitical risks.

Conflict in Ukraine, violence in Iraq, and a slowdown in China that raised questions about the global growth rate all helped keep a lid on investors’ appetite for risk. Central bank monetary policies further diverged: The European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and People’s Bank of China eased their policies, while the Federal Reserve and Bank of England leaned toward tighter ones. The ECB further cut its benchmark lending and deposit rates, announced it would buy asset-backed securities and covered bonds, and, near the end of the period, included sovereign bonds for purchase. These programs are part of its broader effort to encourage lending and alleviate fears of deflation. China’s central bank joined the ECB in boosting liquidity by injecting funds into the nation’s largest banks to try to combat weakening growth.

Meanwhile, the Fed charted a course for normalizing policy. In the latter part of 2014, it ended the quantitative easing program begun in 2008, reflecting its confidence in the recovery at home despite the global slowdown. The Fed took another step in December toward normalization by replacing a pledge to keep borrowing costs low for a “considerable time” with assurance that it would be “patient” in deciding when to raise short-term interest rates.

The portfolio’s successes

The portfolio’s security selection and its industry allocation both boosted relative returns. Our selection in banking, electric, and consumer noncyclical bonds was strong; the portfolio also benefited from an underweight exposure to energy bonds.

The portfolio’s shortfalls

Our underweight allocation to and security selection within foreign local governments, including taxable municipals, detracted from relative performance. Our overweight allocation to banking bonds was also unfavorable, as was our yield curve positioning.

Outlook

We continue to view the corporate bond market favorably because of supportive global monetary policy, positive U.S. growth trends, and healthy corporate fundamentals. Valuations are attractive, with potential for modestly tighter credit spreads during the first half of 2015.

The growth trajectory for the U.S. economy remains positive, with GDP growth of 3% forecast for 2015. Employment data continue to improve, but we are not seeing inflationary pressures in the United States. Around the world, countries are on different growth trajectories, resulting in diverging central bank policies and economic risks. The ECB and Bank of Japan are keeping monetary policy accommodative to spur growth. In contrast, the Fed is likely to begin raising rates midyear, though they are likely to stay at low absolute levels.

Credit fundamentals are expected to remain fairly stable, but we have some concerns about non-U.S. companies if the ECB does not manage to stimulate growth. Leverage has increased to pre-financial-crisis levels, offset by lower interest expenses, high cash balances, and strong bank capital positions. Mergers and acquisitions and other shareholder-friendly activities are expected to remain elevated. The full impact of cheaper oil is probably yet to be seen given oil’s importance to emerging markets and the size of the energy sector in the high-yield bond market. Default rates are expected to stay low in the United States but may increase in the energy sector if low oil prices persist.

Market liquidity is still challenging, exacerbated by the fact that a larger share of corporate bonds is held among buy-side investors than dealers. Liquidity premiums can change daily, making it difficult to assess an appropriate compensation level for liquidity and leading to increased volatility. Should new issues top $1 trillion again in 2015, that may be met with buyer fatigue and result in market dislocation.

The timing, pace, and magnitude of any further upturn in interest rates will determine the performance of fixed income markets in the coming years and may well contribute to negative total returns in future periods. However, many of the forces that kept yields low in recent years (easy monetary policies, subdued inflation, and global slowdown fears) persist.

The portfolio’s position in long-term investment-grade bonds should contribute to income stability. The portfolio generally purchases bonds of large, well-established companies with stable operating histories. The major risks are, of course, a rise in long-term interest rates, a widening in corporate bond risk premiums, or both.

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

Wellington Management Company LLP For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

The investment environment

For the 12 months ended January 31, 2015, Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 4.56% for Investor Shares, compared with 3.57% for its composite benchmark index, which consists of 95% Barclays U.S. High-Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Index and 5% Barclays U.S. 1–5 Year Treasury Bond Index.

Lower longer-term U.S. Treasury yields and coupon income helped offset the impact of wider high-yield bond spreads, contributing to relative performance. U.S. economic data improved markedly over the second half of the year after first-quarter weakness attributed in part to severe winter weather. The Federal Reserve continued to provide monetary stimulus, even as it wound down its asset purchases. The 10-year Treasury yield ended January at 1.75%, down from 2.70% 12 months earlier. As bond yields and prices are inversely correlated, bond prices rose sharply in response. Shorter-term Treasury yields, on the other hand, increased in anticipation that the Fed would raise rates in mid-2015. Longer-duration and interest-rate-sensitive fixed income assets benefited along with underlying Treasuries.

Even though the steadily improving economic backdrop, high-yield credit spreads widened because of concerns that some energy companies might face difficulty meeting their high-yield debt obligations should low oil prices persist. For the 12 months, higher-rated high-yield bonds, which are more sensitive to rate changes, performed much better than lower-rated ones; Ba-rated bonds returned 5.99% and Caa-rated bonds –2.30%. The spread of the high-yield market (a comparison of the yields of high-yield bonds and Treasury bonds) widened over the fiscal year from 404 basis points to 509.

Despite recent weakness in the high-yield market, overall corporate fundamentals remain healthy, and debt levels at most companies are stable. Because we expect stronger GDP growth in 2015, we believe that most companies carrying high-yield debt will be able to maintain solid credit profiles. That said, we have seen a pickup in shareholder-friendly activity, including mergers and acquisitions, and a weakening of bondholder covenants, which may put pressure on balance sheets. At this point, defaults remain manageable; default rates are still well below the long-term average.

Although the pace of new issues stayed strong in 2014, pricing more than $300 billion for a third consecutive year, it slowed considerably during the fourth quarter as market participants contended with rapidly falling energy prices. The decline in commodity prices sparked a significant widening of high-yield bond spreads, and although the problems now affecting high-yield energy credits are justifiable, they are relatively isolated to that industry. We are looking to take advantage of recent dislocations created by the sell-off in non-energy companies, where wider spreads are attractive and the credits are well-supported by strong fundamentals.

The fund’s successes

The fund’s underweight exposure to the energy sector and overweight exposure to health care aided relative performance, as did credit selection in energy and financial services. A bias toward higher-rated, more rate-sensitive bonds also contributed to relative results.

The fund’s shortfalls

Underweight exposure to the wireline industry and credit selection in the metals and chemicals segments detracted from relative performance.

The fund’s positioning

The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains a significant exposure to relatively higher-rated companies in the high-yield market. We believe that these issuers have more consistent businesses and more predictable cash flows than those at the lower end of the spectrum. We prefer higher-rated credits in order to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry and to de-emphasize non-cash-paying securities, preferred stock, and equity-linked securities (such as convertibles) because of their potential for volatility.

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2015

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).

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. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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

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 settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% 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 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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,

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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.

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

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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. 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 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 prequalified 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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 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, 2012–2015), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

36


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $5,026,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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

Level 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).

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $38,144,000 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.

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $32,880,000, (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $2,489,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

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 $2,498,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had available capital losses totaling $80,098,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $52,426,819,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $382,465,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $709,337,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $326,872,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $21,302,278,000 of investment securities and sold $20,269,462,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $20,967,471,000 and $17,535,270,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the year ended January 31, 2015.

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. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. 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 changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect

61


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

During the year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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

62


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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.

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

63


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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. 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 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 prequalified 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 year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented 1% of net assets, based on the average notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average 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 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, 2012–2015), 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.

64


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $1,771,000 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.

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).

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $27,700,000 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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $17,229,000 from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $9,408,000, (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses 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 $6,796,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had long-term capital gains of $18,991,000 available for distribution.

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $18,430,508,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $783,118,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $895,661,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $112,543,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $7,358,250,000 of investment securities and sold $6,758,140,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $9,135,241,000 and $8,359,224,000, respectively.

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of January 31, 2015

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).

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. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. 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. 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 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 counter-party risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its

90


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 3% 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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 notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the

91


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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 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. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that

92


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 prequalified 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 year ended January 31, 2015, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 15% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average 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 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 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.

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, 2012–2015), 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.

93


 

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 January 31, 2015, 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 $1,355,000 for the year ended January 31, 2015.

For the year ended January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $1,515,000 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).

At January 31, 2015, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $6,335,000 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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $19,107,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $94,000, (including the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to overdistributed 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 $19,952,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to overdistributed net investment income.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $21,405,000 and $80,844,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,987,780,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,924,579,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $2,933,889,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $9,310,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $3,165,713,000 of investment securities and sold $2,468,258,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $644,196,000 and $630,254,000, respectively.

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. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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 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. 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 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

113


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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 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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 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.

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, 2012–2015), 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.

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

114


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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 January 31, 2015, or at any time during the period then ended.

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

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 year ended January 31, 2015, 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 invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At January 31, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $1,596,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.64% 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).

High-Yield Corporate Fund

During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $15,668,000, (including the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to overdistributed net investment income.

The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $1,247,000 from accumulated realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at January 31, 2015, the fund used capital loss carryforwards of $290,627,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended January 31, 2015, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders. For tax purposes, at January, 31, 2015, the fund had $24,461,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.

At January 31, 2015, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $16,588,123,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $305,656,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $594,524,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $288,868,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the year ended January 31, 2015, the fund purchased $5,036,655,000 of investment securities and sold $5,245,079,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $511,989,000 and $169,627,000, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets—investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at January 31, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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. For the three investment-grade funds, credit-quality ratings are from Moody’s and S&P. The higher rating for each issue is shown. For the High-Yield Corporate Fund, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available.

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

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

122


 

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.

At the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting, services and fees would be presented to the Audit Committee for formal consideration, and, if appropriate, approval by the entire Audit Committee. The Audit Committee would again consider whether such services and fees are consistent with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

     The Registrant’s Audit Committee is informed at least annually of all audit and non-audit services provided by the principal accountant to the Vanguard complex, whether such services are provided to: the Registrant, other registered investment companies in the Vanguard complex, The Vanguard Group, Inc., or other entities controlled by The Vanguard Group, Inc. that provide ongoing services to the Registrant.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets - investments summary and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at January 31, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
