Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Bond yields, which looked set to continue rising after the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike late last year, actually dropped over the six months ended July 31, 2016. This was largely the result of more muted expectations for global growth, low inflation, and stock market volatility. The decline was more pronounced for long-term bonds, but short- and intermediate-term bond yields moved lower as well.

Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, so long-term bonds performed the best. Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund returned 11.94%, with the lion’s share attributable to an increase in the market value of its holdings. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for the funds’ Investor Shares.) Prices of intermediate- and short-term bonds increased more modestly: Returns for the four other funds ranged from 0.94% for Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund to 2.81% for Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund.

In relative terms, Vanguard GNMA Fund came in a step ahead of its benchmark while the other funds lagged theirs. The GNMA Fund, Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund, and the Long-Term Treasury Fund outperformed the average return for their peer groups, but the two other funds lagged theirs.

With bond prices rising, the 30-day SEC yields for the funds stood 18 to 62 basis points lower on July 31 than where they were six months earlier. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) It’s important to note that as yields decline, the opportunity diminishes for returns to get a significant boost from price appreciation. On a separate note, I’d like to congratulate Michael Garrett, senior managing director and fixed income portfolio manager at Wellington, for marking his tenth anniversary in managing the GNMA Fund.

International bonds outpaced their U.S. counterparts

The broad U.S. taxable bond market advanced in each of the six months en route to returning 4.54% for the half year.

Yields fell, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury note closing July at 1.45%, down from 1.98% at the end of January. Municipal bonds didn’t see as much demand; they returned 3.16%.

The Fed has held its target for short-term interest rates at 0.25%–0.5% since raising it by a quarter percentage point last December. Money market funds and savings accounts stayed restrained by these historically low rates.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned 12.31%. A number of foreign currencies strengthened against the dollar, but the bond returns were robust even without this currency benefit.

U.S. stocks continued to surge despite signs of uncertainty

U.S. stocks proved resilient, returning about 14%, although the global environment was far from tranquil.

Stocks tumbled after the momentous June 23 decision by U.K. voters to leave the European Union. But the market quickly recovered. Worries about the effects of “Brexit” on trade and economic growth seemed to diminish as expectations rose that major central banks would be responsive to any fallout.

International stocks also performed well, returning nearly 12%. European stocks finished solidly but still lagged as the Brexit referendum hit close to home. Emerging-market stocks and those from developed Pacific markets recorded double-digit returns.

Longer-dated bonds proved to be the period’s top performers

Concerns persisted during the half year about the pace of global growth, the ability of central banks to push inflation higher, and the direction of commodity prices. The United Kingdom’s vote in June to

leave the European Union added another layer of uncertainty. Those factors—along with the Fed’s pause regarding its next rate hike and the exceptionally low or negative yields available abroad—added to the allure of U.S. debt.

Solid demand translated into higher prices for Treasuries, especially for those further out on the maturity spectrum. Rising bond prices added about half a percentage point to the return of the Short-Term Treasury Fund but more than 10 percentage points to the return of the Long-Term Treasury Fund. In contrast, given the low interest rate environment, the income that all the funds earned was relatively modest. It ranged from 47 basis points of the Short-Term Treasury Fund’s total return to 141 basis points of the Long-Term Treasury Fund’s total return.

The durations of the Treasury and Federal Funds were shorter than those of their benchmarks. (Duration is a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes.) While that stance has helped the funds in the past when rates were heading higher, this time around it contributed to their underperforming their benchmarks.

On the other side of the ledger, the relative performance of the Treasury Funds was helped by the tactical positions that their advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, took in agency debt and mortgage-backed securities. Those segments of the

debt market, which aren’t part of the funds’ benchmarks, generally offer some additional income over Treasuries. The Short-Term Federal Fund, managed by the same advisor, also benefited from its out-of-benchmark exposure to mortgage-backed securities. And all four funds got a boost from security selection.

The Intermediate-Term and Long-Term Treasury Funds share the same peer group, which can include funds that hold securities across the maturity spectrum. The Intermediate-Term Fund lagged the average return for that group by more than 3 percentage points, while the Long-Term Fund outperformed it by more than 5 percentage points.

The GNMA Fund, whose advisor is Wellington Management Company, performed a little better than both its benchmark and the average for its peers mainly because of security selection and some out-of-benchmark holdings.

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

Consider rebalancing to manage your risk

Let’s say you’ve taken the time to carefully create an appropriate asset allocation for your investment portfolio. Your efforts have produced a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market funds tailored to your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.

But what should you do when your portfolio drifts from its original asset allocation as the financial markets rise or fall? Consider rebalancing to bring it back to the proper mix.

Just one year of outsized returns can throw your allocation out of whack. Take 2013 as an example. That year, the broad stock market (as measured by the Russell 3000 Index) returned 33.55% and the broad taxable bond market (as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) returned –2.02%. A hypothetical portfolio that tracked the broad domestic market indexes and started the year with 60% stocks and 40% bonds would have ended with a more aggressive mix of 67% stocks and 33% bonds.

Rebalancing to bring your portfolio back to its original targets would require you to shift assets away from areas that have been performing well toward those that have been falling behind. That isn’t easy or intuitive. It’s a way to minimize risk rather than maximize returns and to stick with your investment plan through different types of markets. (You can read more about our approach in Best Practices for Portfolio Rebalancing at vanguard.com/research.)

It’s not necessary to check your portfolio every day or every month, much less rebalance it that frequently. It may be more appropriate to monitor it annually or semiannually and rebalance when your allocation swings 5 percentage points or more from its target.

It’s important, of course, to be aware of the tax implications. You’ll want to consult with your tax advisor, but generally speaking, it may be a good idea to make any asset changes within a tax-advantaged retirement account or to direct new cash flows into the underweighted asset class.

However you go about it, keeping your asset allocation from drifting too far off target can help you stay on track with the investment plan you’ve crafted to meet your financial goals.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III

Advisors’ Report

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

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, returns for the U.S. Government Bond Funds managed by Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group ranged from 0.94% for Investor Shares of the Short-Term Treasury Fund to 11.99% for Admiral Shares of the Long-Term Treasury Fund. The returns of the funds lagged those of their benchmarks. Compared with the average returns of their peers, the Short-Term Federal Fund and Long-Term Treasury Fund outperformed, while the Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Treasury Funds lagged.

The investment environment

As in recent years, the arrival of winter seemed to slow the U.S. economy. Gross domestic product came in at 0.8% in the first quarter on an annualized basis when adjusted for inflation. Residential investment and consumer spending were relatively healthy, but a stronger dollar led to rising imports, which reduces net GDP. Falling nonresidential investment and slower inventory accumulation also suppressed growth.

And once again, spring appeared to bring “green shoots” in the form of a modest economic improvement. GDP ticked up to 1.2%. U.S. employment data, while patchy at times, continued to show a broad-based

strengthening in the labor market and modest but persistent wage growth. Housing sales continued to rise, and energy and commodity prices rebounded enough to calm fears of an impending global recession and disinflation, although they gave back some ground toward the end of the period.

Inflation has been rising, although not as fast as the Federal Reserve would like. The rate of annual change in the Consumer Price Index held fairly steady over the period: It stood at 1.0% in February and 0.9% in July. The core CPI rate, which strips out food and energy, whose prices tend to be more volatile, hardly moved either. It climbed at an annual rate of 2.2% in May, June, and July.

Abroad, many central banks pursued further monetary easing. The European Central Bank cut its deposit rate further into negative territory, increased its purchases of sovereign bonds, and began buying corporate bonds. The Bank of Japan announced at the end of January that it would charge a negative interest rate on excess reserves of financial institutions, a move intended to complement its qualitative and quantitative easing efforts aimed at spurring growth and warding off deflation.

This environment was positive for U.S. government bonds. Monetary policy remained accommodative. Britain’s June vote in favor of leaving the European Union surprised the markets and sent investors in search of less risky assets. And income-starved international buyers were drawn to the low but still positive yields on offer.

Yields for U.S. Treasuries fell across the curve, with more movement seen among longer maturities. The yield of the 2-year Treasury note, for example, slid 16 basis points over the half year to 0.66%. The 10-year yield fell 53 basis points to 1.45%, a level not seen since 2012, and the 30-year dropped 61 basis points to 2.18%.

Management of the funds

Both Short-Term Funds and the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund have durations that are structurally shorter than those of their benchmarks. (Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fund’s holdings to changes in interest rates.) Although this conservative stance can help cushion the funds in an environment of rising rates, it was the primary reason for their relative underperformance for this period as rates ended the six-month period significantly lower. The Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund in particular was affected—its average duration at the end of the period stood at 5.3 years, compared with 6.6 years for its benchmark.

On the other hand, allocation choices generally helped lift returns. All four funds held mortgage-backed securities (MBS), a segment of securitized debt that is not included in their benchmarks. Those holdings were modestly positive for the

11


 

funds. Agency debt, which represented an overweight position in the Federal Fund and an out-of-benchmark allocation in the three Treasury Funds, provided a little bigger boost.

With market expectations for medium-term inflation appearing low given our outlook for growth, we added Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities early in the period in all four funds. That allocation contributed modestly to relative performance as the consensus on inflation ticked higher.

Security selection was also positive. In the Short-Term Treasury Fund, we saw value in the front end of the yield curve with the Fed pushing out further rate hikes and support for very short-term securities coming from money market reforms to be implemented by mid-October. We found other pockets of value as well, notably in the 5–7-year segment for the Intermediate-Term Fund and in the 20–25-year segment for the Long-Term Fund.

Outlook

While the long-term ramifications of the “Brexit” vote are unclear, we expect the U.K. economy to slip into recession in the medium term and anticipate some downward pressure on euro zone GDP as well. We do not expect U.S. GDP to be crimped significantly—perhaps just 0.25 percentage point over the next several quarters.

The U.S. economy looks likely to remain on relatively solid footing, with the labor market achieving the Fed’s full employment target. Job creation has slowed from last year, but continuing wage gains could boost demand and push inflation higher. Current low mortgage rates and muted inflation are likely to support continued home buying, mortgage refinancing, and consumer spending. These trends should help the economy grow at a rate of about 2% for the rest of the year.

In formulating our inflation outlook, we remain positive about the underlying trends when excluding the highly volatile commodity prices from most measures. Energy prices have been depressed by oil market imbalances during the past two years but now appear to be improving; they should provide a modest uplift to our headline measure in the coming year.

U.S. monetary policy is likely to remain cautious and accommodative. No matter when the Fed makes its next rate hike, we continue to believe its short-term rate target isn’t likely to go above 1% over the next several years. Central banks in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Japan appear to be leaning toward more monetary accommodation in the face of weak or slowing growth, which should keep U.S. yields attractive for international investors. Given that, and our outlook for modest growth and inflation at home, we don’t expect to see a material rise in government bond yields further out on the curve either.

For the GNMA Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, Investor Shares of Vanguard GNMA Fund returned 2.04%, and Admiral Shares returned 2.09%. The fund outperformed its benchmark index as well as its peer group.

The investment environment

The period began on a volatile note, with most asset classes experiencing sharp price declines before staging an impressive retracement during the latter half of the first quarter. Global fixed income markets proceeded to gain over the second quarter as central bank policies and Brexit concerns drove government bond yields to fresh lows.

Early on, falling oil prices, concerns over slowing growth in China, and questions about the effectiveness of central bank monetary policies sparked a broad sell-off in credit markets, while government bonds benefited from their safe-haven status. Following the lead of European central banks, the Bank of Japan introduced negative interest rates for the first time as volatility and instability in financial markets threatened to tip the country back into deflation. Sweden’s Riksbank also cut interest rates deeper into negative territory, intensifying fears that global policymakers may be running out of tools to combat deflation and slowing growth. The global banking sector was hit particularly hard amid concerns about whether banks can be profitable in an environment of negative interest rates.

Accommodative monetary policy from central banks, near-term stabilization in China, and a rebound in commodity prices helped to support fixed income markets later in the period. However, investors turned more cautious in June as the outcome of the referendum on Britain’s European Union membership moved into sharper focus. The momentous vote to leave led to a spike in volatility in global financial markets and a flight to safety at the end of the period, with U.K. and European equity and credit markets bearing the brunt of the sell-off.

U.S. data released during the period showed the economy was holding up relatively well. On the consumer side, consumption rebounded after a weak first quarter, and confidence remained elevated. The housing sector maintained its positive trajectory, underpinned by strong sales and solid year-over-year home price gains, which have been hovering around 5.5%. However, some economic releases

13


 

pointed to persistent softness across the manufacturing sector. The labor market appeared to lose some steam in the second quarter after showing resilience during the early part of 2016, and inflation remained benign overall, with the core personal consumption expenditures index still sitting below the Fed’s 2% target.

The agency MBS market returned 2.00% as measured by the Barclays MBS Fixed Rate Index, underperforming duration-equivalent Treasuries by 60 basis points (as measured by Wellington; a basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percent). Though MBS weathered the volatility in global markets better than other spread sectors, the rally in U.S. interest rates through the middle of February triggered some concerns about increases in prepayments and mortgage supply. The sector also benefited from investors seeking to capitalize on the income advantage of MBS in a relatively range-bound rates market during April and May. Another significant rally in U.S. interest rates at the end of June raised concerns about a potential increase in prepayment activity and mortgage supply, but MBS performance overall held up well.

GNMA MBS returned 1.71% as measured by the Barclays GNMA Index, underperforming duration-equivalent Treasuries by 38 basis points (as measured by Wellington) and underperforming conventional mortgages.

The fund’s successes

The fund outperformed its benchmark during the period. Security selection within middle-coupon (3.5%–4%) GNMA mortgages was the primary contributor

to performance. Our security selection was focused on identifying pools, both seasoned and brand-new, with attractive prepayment characteristics, as a way to add value as MBS spreads remained range-bound. An allocation to Fannie Mae multifamily delegated underwriting and servicing (DUS) bonds also helped.

The fund’s shortfalls

The portfolio was underweighted in agency MBS pass-through securities in favor of DUS bonds and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) during the period. While the allocation to DUS bonds helped relative performance, agency CMOs underperformed MBS pass-throughs during the period, and our exposure to the sector weighed modestly on relative results.

The fund’s positioning

We believe that agency pass-throughs will have a flat to positive return relative to Treasury securities for the next six to 12 months. There are risks that are not yet fully priced into current spreads, including uncertainty over Fed interest rate policy, further global macroeconomic deterioration, and inadequate central bank policy globally; however, the spread between Treasuries and mortgages would have to widen substantially to offset the yield advantage of the sector.

Consequently, while spreads are close to the tight end of the historical range, we would not recommend a sustained underweight position in the sector. We expect that demand for MBS from international investors seeking yield and liquidity amid low and even negative global

14


 

rates will continue, contributing to low spread volatility for the sector. With these two points in mind, our intermediate-term view remains for a moderate widening in spreads as we near the end of Fed reinvestment, but mortgage income should support outperformance relative to Treasuries based on our outlook for timing and pace.

Over the longer term, we expect MBS spreads to trade in a lower range than they have historically, given the positive fundamentals of favorable supply relative to Treasuries, a shift in buyer base to long-term investors, and a constrained mortgage credit environment.

We continue to be underweighted in agency pass-throughs in favor of DUS, agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, and agency CMOs. Our underweight position in pass-throughs is focused in low to middle coupons that would be the most sensitive to an increase in prepayment speeds resulting from the current low-rate environment.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

See Note A in Notes to Financial Statements.
1 Securities with a value of $4,074,000 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 issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are generally neither guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury nor backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
4 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.
5 Affiliated money market fund available only to Vanguard funds and certain trusts and accounts managed by Vanguard. Rate shown is the 7-day yield.

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 Net Assets. 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).

27


 

Short-Term Treasury Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 12% 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.

4. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund 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.

Short-Term Treasury Fund

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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 (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $605,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.24% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 7,491,109
Temporary Cash Investments 9,602
Liability for Options Written (155)
Futures Contracts—Assets1 1,614
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (862)
Total 10,199 7,491,109
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 4,663 1,021,197 (272)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 1,260 153,740 464
10-Year Ultra U.S. Treasury Bond September 2016 (831) (121,494) (3,285)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (220) (29,270) (42)
Ultra Long U. S. Treasury Bond September 2016 (54) (10,289) (56)
        (3,191)

 

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

Short-Term Treasury Fund

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $4,293,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2017; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,457,591,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $43,120,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $46,278,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,158,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund purchased $6,820,770,000 of investment securities and sold $7,285,304,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The following table summarizes the fund’s options written during the six months ended July 31, 2016.

1 Securities with a value of $2,925,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.
2 U.S. government-guaranteed.
3 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.
4 The issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are generally neither guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury nor backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
5 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.
6 Includes securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis for which the fund has not taken delivery as of July 31, 2016.
7 Adjustable-rate security.

Short-Term Federal Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Short-Term Federal Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Futures and Options: The fund uses futures contracts and options on futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money, the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with writing options is that interest rates move in such a way that the option is in-the-money, the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Counterparty risk involving futures and exchange-traded options is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures and options on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate 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).

44


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 9% 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, 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 July 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $269,000 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.

Short-Term Federal Fund

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 for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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 (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $446,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.18% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 5,585,486
Temporary Cash Investments 199,743
Futures Contracts—Assets1 979
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (1,421)
Liability for Options Written (115)
Total 199,186 5,585,486
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
5-Year U. S. Treasury Note September 2016 3,534 431,203 (38)
Ultra 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (1,107) (161,847) (4,834)
2-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 357 78,183 7
30-Year U.S. Treasury Bond September 2016 (402) (70,124) (4,491)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (496) (65,991) (87)
Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond September 2016 134 25,531 537
        (8,906)

 

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.

47


 

Short-Term Federal Fund

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

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,742,341,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $42,888,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $46,659,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,771,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund purchased $6,861,540,000 of investment securities and sold $7,239,754,000 of investment securities, other than 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 Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.

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

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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.

Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $554,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.22% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

Ultra Long U.S. Treasury Bond September 2016 (49) (9,336) (53)
        (292)

 

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

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,754,595,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $193,128,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $193,575,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $447,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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

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

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 0% and 4% 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

78


 

GNMA Fund

to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.

At July 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $669,000 in connection with TBA transactions.

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

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

6. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (January 31, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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 (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. Wellington Management Company llp provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2016, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets.

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

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $2,156,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.86% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations 26,201,988 72,274
Temporary Cash Investments 1,320,315 2,483,309
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (5,804)
Total 1,314,511 28,685,297 72,274
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

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

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
Ultra 10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (2,952) (431,592) (17,135)
10-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (7,343) (976,963) (5,102)
5-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (253) (30,870) (532)
        (22,769)

 

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

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $29,393,812,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $684,074,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $718,189,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $34,115,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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 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).

92


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

3. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.

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

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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.

93


 

Long-Term Treasury Fund

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $345,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

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

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,669,468,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $670,492,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $670,610,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $118,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Short-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Short-Term Federal Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Intermediate-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the GNMA Fund, 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% for Admiral Shares; and for the Long-Term Treasury Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (182/366).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

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

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services

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

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

Wellington Management. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has managed the GNMA Fund since the fund’s inception in 1980. The portfolio manager of the GNMA Fund is backed by a team of experienced analysts who help inform his strategic perspective and conduct statistical and cash-flow analysis. The team leverages its deep knowledge of the mortgage industry to analyze the relative value of various GNMA bonds and construct a portfolio with lower prepayment and extension risk than the benchmark, but with similar interest rate risk.

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

Investment performance

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

Cost

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

100


 

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

The benefit of economies of scale

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

The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Treasury Funds and the Short-Term Federal Fund, the funds’ at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

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

Glossary

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

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

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

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

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

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For the federal and Treasury funds, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and 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. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

102


 

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.

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 198 Vanguard funds.

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

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Bond yields, which looked set to continue rising after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in December, instead moved lower over the six months ended July 31, 2016. That was largely due to more muted global growth expectations, low inflation, and stock market volatility. The decline was more pronounced for long-term bonds, but short- and intermediate-term bond yields moved lower as well.

Yields and prices move in opposite directions, so long-term bonds performed the best. Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 14.82%, with the lion’s share of that stemming from an increase in the market value of its holdings. (All returns and yields cited in this letter are for the funds’ Investor Shares.)

Solid but more modest price increases for shorter-term investment-grade bonds and high-yield bonds helped the three other funds covered in this report post good results: Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 2.94%, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 5.82%, and Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund returned 8.98%.

In relative terms, the Short- and Long-Term Funds came in a step ahead of their benchmarks, while the other two funds lagged theirs. Versus the average returns of their peer groups, the three investment-grade funds outperformed, but the High-Yield Corporate Fund lagged.

With bond prices rising, the 30-day SEC yields for the funds stood 51 to 149 basis points lower on July 31 than they were six months earlier. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) It’s important to note that as yields decline, the opportunity for a significant boost to returns from price appreciation diminishes.

International bonds outpaced their U.S. counterparts

The broad U.S. taxable bond market advanced in each of the six months en route to returning 4.54% for the half year. Yields fell, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury note closing July at 1.45%, down from 1.98% at the end of January. Municipal bonds, which saw less demand than taxable bonds, returned 3.16%.

The Fed has held its target for short-term interest rates at 0.25%–0.5% since the quarter percentage point rise in December. Money market funds and savings accounts stayed restrained by these historically low rates.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned 12.31%. A number of foreign currencies strengthened against the dollar, but the bond returns were robust even without this currency benefit.

U.S. stocks continued to surge despite signs of uncertainty

U.S. stocks proved resilient over the period, returning about 14%, although the global environment was far from tranquil.

Stocks tumbled after the momentous June 23 decision by U.K. voters to leave the European Union. But the market quickly recovered. Worries about the effects of “Brexit” on trade and economic growth seemed to diminish as expectations rose that major central banks would be responsive to any fallout.

International stocks also performed well, returning nearly 12%. European stocks finished solidly but still lagged as the Brexit referendum hit close to home. Emerging-market stocks and those from developed Pacific markets recorded double-digit returns.

Longer-dated bonds were the period’s top performers

Concerns persisted through the half year about the pace of global growth, the ability of central banks to push inflation higher, and the direction of commodity prices. Those factors—along with the Brexit uncertainty, the Fed’s pushing back of expectations for its next rate hike, and the exceptionally low or negative yields available abroad—added to the allure of U.S. debt.

Solid demand for bonds translated into higher prices, especially for securities further out on the maturity spectrum. Rising bond prices added close to 2 percentage points to the return of

the Short-Term Fund but more than 12 percentage points to that of the Long-Term Fund. In contrast, given the low interest rates, the income earned by all the funds was comparatively modest. That component of total return contributed between about 1 percentage point for the Short-Term Fund and just under 3 percentage points for the High-Yield Corporate Fund.

The funds’ durations versus their benchmarks varied. (Duration is a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes.) For the Short-Term and High-Yield Corporate Funds, they didn’t stray far, but the durations of the Long-Term Fund and especially the Intermediate-Term Fund were shorter than those of their benchmarks. Although that can provide some protection to the funds when rates are rising, it weighed on their performance for the six months.

By credit quality, lower-rated bonds outperformed their higher-rated counterparts. That worked against the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and High-Yield Corporate Funds given their tilt toward higher-quality securities versus their benchmarks. In contrast, the Long-Term Fund’s allocation to BBB-rated bonds—which fall outside the A-rated-or-better securities of its benchmark—was a positive.

Consider rebalancing to manage your risk

After you’ve taken the time to carefully create an investment portfolio—with a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market funds tailored to your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance—what next?

As stocks and bonds rise or fall over time, and your portfolio drifts from its original asset allocation, you should consider rebalancing back to your targets.

Just one year of outsized returns can throw your allocation out of whack. Take, for example, a year like 2013, when the broad stock market returned nearly 34% and the broad taxable bond market declined. A hypothetical simple portfolio that started the year with 60% stocks and 40% bonds would have ended with a more aggressive mix of 67% stocks and 33% bonds.

Rebalancing means shifting dollars away from assets that have performed well toward those that have fallen behind. That isn’t easy or intuitive—but it helps to manage risk, because over time, riskier assets tend to grow faster. (You can read more about our approach in Best Practices for Portfolio Rebalancing, at vanguard.com/research.)

You might consider, for example, monitoring your portfolio annually or semiannually and rebalancing when your allocations swing about 5 percentage points from their targets.

It’s important, of course, to be aware of the tax implications. You’ll want to consult with your tax advisor, but generally speaking, it may be a good idea to make any asset changes within a tax-advantaged retirement account or to direct new cash flows into the underweighted asset class.

However you go about it, keeping your asset allocation from drifting too far off target can help you stay on track with the investment plan you’ve crafted to meet your financial goals.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisors’ Report

Vanguard Fixed Income Group For the Short-, Intermediate-, and Long-Term Investment-Grade Funds

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund did a little better than its benchmark, returning 2.94% for Investor Shares, 2.99% for Admiral Shares, and 3.00% for Institutional Shares. Vanguard Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund lagged its benchmark, returning 5.82% for Investor Shares and 5.87% for Admiral Shares. Both funds exceeded the average returns of their peer groups.

We also manage about 10% of the assets of Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund. The fund returned 14.82% for Investor Shares and 14.87% for Admiral Shares, a step ahead of its benchmark.

It came in well ahead of the average return of its peers, which include funds with much shorter durations.

The investment environment

The United Kingdom’s June 23 “Brexit” referendum on whether to remain in the European Union (EU) was the period’s defining event for global capital markets. Although the markets showed some nervousness ahead of the vote, global stocks tumbled at the unexpected “leave” outcome before regaining much of their lost ground by the end of June. Despite credit-rating agency downgrades, the yields of U.K. government bonds headed lower—as did most government bond yields across the globe—as investors sought out assets perceived to be less risky.

Accommodative monetary policy also helped bonds over the six months. Abroad, a number of major central banks pursued further easing. At the end of January, the Bank of Japan announced it would charge a negative interest rate on financial institutions’ excess reserves, a move to complement its qualitative and quantitative easing efforts aimed at spurring growth and warding off deflation. The European Central Bank cut its deposit rate as well, putting it further into negative territory. It also increased its purchases of sovereign bonds and began buying corporate bonds.

At home, the Federal Reserve pushed back the timing of further increases in short-term rates. Early on, signs of weakness in a number of major economies, including China, and falling energy and commodity prices helped stay the Fed’s hand. Even as those concerns faded, uncertainty about the potential impact of the United Kingdom exiting the EU ratcheted up. Muted growth in the U.S. economy weighed in the balance as well. The economy grew just 0.8% in the first quarter on an inflation-adjusted annualized basis; the growth rate edged higher to 1.2% in the second quarter. Although inflation picked up, the pace fell short of the Fed’s target.

In this environment, the still-positive yields of U.S. Treasury bonds made them more appealing to investors starved for income. Yields fell, especially for longer-dated Treasuries. The yield of the 2-year Treasury note, for example, slid 16 basis points over the half year to 0.66%. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) The 10-year yield fell 53 basis points to 1.45%, a level not seen since 2012, and the 30-year yield dropped 61 basis points to 2.18%.

Investors searching for yield boosted demand for investment-grade corporate bonds as well. The average spread between the yields of those bonds and Treasuries narrowed. It started the half year at 193 basis points, but with the spreads for bonds in the energy and metals and mining segments shrinking by roughly half or more as commodity prices regained some ground, the average spread for investment-grade corporate bonds finished the period at 145 basis points.

Management of the funds

All three funds had shorter durations than their benchmarks. (Duration measures the sensitivity of a fund’s holdings to changes in interest rates.) Although this conservative stance can help relative performance when rates are rising, it worked against the funds this time given that rates ended significantly lower. The Intermediate-Term Fund felt more of a downdraft than the two other funds—its average duration at the end of July was 5.5 years, compared with 6.5 years for its benchmark.

In the Short- and Intermediate-Term Funds, allocations to securitized debt—a segment of the credit market that their benchmarks do not include—added value. Both funds held commercial mortgage-backed securities. These pooled mortgages on

commercial properties, which had a longer average duration than the benchmark, performed well. Our holdings in asset-backed securities—which are typically backed by auto loans, student loans, and credit-card debt—made a smaller but also positive contribution.

By sector, industrials and utilities outperformed financials over the six months. In February, we lightened our holdings in financials to add debt issued by energy and metals and mining companies; it had become attractively valued given the slump in commodity prices and the dimmer outlook for global growth. Although our timing was good, our continued underweighting of industrials and overweighting of financials meant that our sector allocation overall detracted from performance.

By credit quality, lower-rated investment-grade bonds outperformed higher-rated ones. This meant that our tilt away from BBB-rated bonds in the Short- and Intermediate-Term Funds was a negative, but that our out-of-benchmark allocation to them in our portion of the Long-Term Fund boosted performance.

A look ahead

The long-term ramifications of Brexit are unclear, but we expect the U.K. economy to slip into recession in the medium term and some downdraft on euro zone GDP as well. We do not expect U.S. GDP to be crimped significantly—perhaps just 0.25 percentage point over the next several quarters.

The U.S. economy looks set to remain on relatively solid footing, with the labor market achieving the Fed’s full employment target. Job creation has slowed from last year, but continuing wage gains could boost demand and push inflation higher. Current low mortgage rates and muted inflation are likely to support continued home buying, mortgage refinancing, and consumer spending. These trends should help the economy grow at a rate of about 2% for the rest of the year.

In formulating our inflation outlook, we remain positive about underlying trends when excluding highly volatile commodity prices from most measures. Energy prices have been depressed by oil market imbalances during the past two years, but now appear to be improving; they should provide a modest uplift to our headline measure in the coming year.

U.S. monetary policy is likely to remain cautious and accommodative. No matter when the Fed makes its next move, we believe its short-term rate target isn’t likely to go above 1% over the next several years. Central banks in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Japan appear to be leaning toward more monetary accommodation in the face of weak or slowing growth, which should keep U.S. yields attractive for international investors. Given that, plus our outlook for modest growth and inflation at home, we don’t expect to see a material rise in government bond yields further out along the curve, either.

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

As mentioned above, Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund returned 14.82% for Investor Shares and 14.87% for Admiral Shares for the six months ended July 31, 2016. It modestly outpaced the 14.59% return of its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Long Credit A or Better Bond Index, and topped the 7.16% average return of its peers by more than 7 percentage points.

The portion of the Long-Term Fund that we manage (the “portfolio”) invests primarily in corporate bonds with ten to 30 years until maturity. The portfolio’s returns are influenced by the direction of interest rates and by economic conditions that affect the creditworthiness of the corporate bond issuers.

Investment environment

Over the period, fixed income markets were influenced by global economic growth concerns, central bank monetary policies, oil prices, and the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. Early in the period, falling oil prices, concerns over slowing growth in China, and questions about the effectiveness of central bank monetary policies sparked a broad sell-off in credit markets, while government bonds, benefiting from their safe-haven status, saw their prices rise. Following the lead of European central banks, the Bank of Japan introduced negative interest rates for the first time as the volatility and instability in financial markets threatened to tip Japan back into deflation.

A rebound in crude oil prices and signs of near-term stabilization in China further supported global markets early in the second quarter. But investors turned more cautious in June as the pending U.K. “Brexit” referendum moved into sharper focus. The Fed chose to err on the side of caution by holding rates steady at its June meeting amid lingering uncertainty about the global economy’s strength and a reluctance to raise rates ahead of the referendum. Credit spreads initially widened in the wake of Britain’s June 23 vote to leave the EU, but they rallied strongly into the end of the period on the prospect of further monetary policy easing globally.

Prices of developed markets’ government bonds gained over the six months as global uncertainties kept central banks in easing mode and the Brexit outcome led rates to significantly decline. U.S. Treasury yields declined and credit spreads tightened, leading to strong gains for corporate bonds.

11


 

The portfolio’s successes

In aggregate, security selection bolstered relative results, most notably in the energy, banking, and communications sectors. An underweight allocation to electric utilities and an overweight allocation to communications also helped.

The portfolio’s shortfalls

An underweight allocation to commodity-sensitive sectors, including basic industry and energy, detracted from relative results. An overweight allocation to banking issuers and the portfolio’s yield curve positioning also hurt.

Outlook

Positive U.S. growth trends, attractive valuations, and more accommodative central bank policies are balanced by increased geopolitical risk and slow global growth. Given low-yielding alternatives in the rest of the world, demand for U.S. investment-grade credit should remain strong, leading us to a slightly overweight position.

The U.S. economy remains on a growth trajectory, driven by consumer spending and housing, with GDP growth forecast at 1.5%–2.0% for 2016. The Fed has become less aggressive in its path to policy normalization amid an uncertain global economic backdrop and tightening financial conditions. Political uncertainty is likely to persist as the U.S. presidential election approaches and as antiestablishment populism has increased in Europe.

Credit fundamentals are in a negative trend for investment-grade companies but are expected to stabilize. Mergers and acquisitions and other shareholder-friendly activities are expected to remain elevated but should decline in the second half of the year. Corporate bond market liquidity remains challenged, exacerbated as a larger share of corporate bonds is being held among buy-side investors than dealers.

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

The portfolio‘s position in long-term investment-grade bonds should contribute to income stability. The major risks are, of course, rising long-term rates, a widening in corporate bond risk premiums, or both.

Wellington Management Company LLP For the High-Yield Corporate Fund

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund returned 8.98% for Investor Shares and 9.03% for Admiral Shares, lagging the 11.13% return of its benchmark index.

The investment environment

High-yield markets benefited from declining U.S. Treasury yields, more accommodative global monetary policies, tightening credit spreads, and coupon income. The 10-year Treasury yield declined sharply, from 1.98% at the end of January to 1.45% at the end of July. Because bond yields and prices move in opposite directions, prices increased.

Longer-duration and interest-rate-sensitive fixed income assets generated strong positive returns in this environment. Credit-sensitive sectors, including the high-yield market, also performed well, helped by continued demand for yield given low absolute rates around much of the globe.

Oil and other commodity prices were volatile but finished broadly higher, and the metals and mining and energy sectors posted the strongest gains. Investors turned more cautious in late June as the United Kingdom’s referendum on its European Union membership drew near, and the “leave” outcome led to a flight to safety. However, this spike in global market volatility was not enough to reverse the previous strength, resulting in a positive six-month return overall for the high-yield market.

Performance for the period varied notably by credit quality. The high-yield market favored bonds of relatively lower credit quality amid the insatiable search for yield. Lower-rated CCC-rated bonds (+24.16%) performed best, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index. Higher-rated BB-rated bonds returned 11.28% and B-rated bonds 12.17%. The spread of the high-yield market tightened as of July 31 to 540 basis points over Treasuries, from 734 basis points six months earlier. The average price of high-yield bonds increased $11 to finish at $98.

Overall, corporate fundamentals and debt levels at most companies remain stable. We expect U.S. GDP growth to remain stable in 2016, and we believe that most high-yield companies can sustain solid credit profiles in that environment. Therefore, we see the economic backdrop for the high-yield market as generally supportive, but we continue to closely monitor factors that could affect U.S. and global growth, including fallout from the United Kingdom’s eventual exit from the EU and broader trends toward more protectionist policies globally.

We expect that default rates will peak in 2016 at 5%–6%, with defaults mainly concentrated in the commodity-sensitive sectors (energy and metals and mining).

13


 

Yields in these sectors are higher on average than in the broad market, and we have been finding opportunities, for example, among oil-related exploration and production companies but are selective in our approach.

Moody’s trailing 12-month global speculative-grade default rate ended June at 4.5%, slightly above the long-term average of 4.2%. When looking at the global backdrop, we are most positive on the U.S. economy; as a result, we are emphasizing issuers that we believe will benefit from a strong U.S. consumer and from less cyclical sectors (for example, media cable and health care), as we believe they offer an attractive risk–reward profile.

The fund’s successes

The fund benefited from positive credit selection in the building materials sector and its underweight exposure to pharmaceuticals. An underweight allocation to Treasury securities also helped benchmark-relative performance.

The fund’s shortfalls

An underweight allocation to the metals and mining and energy sectors detracted from relative returns. Security selection in utilities also hurt.

The fund’s positioning

The fund remains consistent in its investment objective and strategy and maintains significant exposure to relatively higher-quality names in the high-yield market. We believe that these credits have more consistent businesses and more predictable cash flows than those of lower quality. We prefer higher-quality credits in an effort to minimize defaults and provide stable income. We continue to diversify the fund’s holdings by issuer and industry while deemphasizing non-cash-paying securities, preferred stocks, and equity-linked securities such as convertibles, because of their potential for volatility.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

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.

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

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 7% and 8% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement 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

36


 

Short-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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 6% 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 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

37


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counter-party risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of 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 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 2% 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 5% 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. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

38


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, 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.

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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.

9. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of

39


 

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $4,491,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.80% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

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.

Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $6,926,000 (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 losses of $4,727,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $164,627,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2017; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $55,680,458,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $837,589,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,063,272,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $225,683,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund purchased $10,213,702,000 of investment securities and sold $12,125,054,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $7,755,096,000 and $5,279,666,000, respectively.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Financial Statements (unaudited)

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of July 31, 2016

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).

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

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 6% and 5% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement 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.

68


 

Intermediate-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 4% 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

determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counter-party risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of 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 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in 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 investments in interest rate swaps represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in 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. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in 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.

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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.

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

The fund had no borrowings outstanding at July 31, 2016, 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $2,157,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.86% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

At July 31, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $9,015,000 in connection with open swap contracts and forward currency contracts.

E. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $4,880,000, (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.

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 $2,127,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $3,360,000. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2017; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $26,142,745,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,101,866,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,184,556,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $82,690,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund's investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

Financial Statements (unaudited)

Statement of Net Assets—Investments Summary

As of July 31, 2016

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. 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).

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 5% and 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement 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

98


 

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 six months ended July 31, 2016, 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

99


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 23% 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 investments in interest rate swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

6. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.

The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.

100


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in 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.

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

8. 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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

9. 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.

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

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

11. 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 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 $769,000 for the period ended July 31, 2016.

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

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

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,231,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.49% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

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.

107


 

Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $379,000, (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 losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $13,895,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $13,179,134,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,471,528,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $2,474,779,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,251,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund purchased $1,543,227,000 of investment securities and sold $1,470,724,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $180,917,000 and $179,865,000, 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. 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. 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).

123


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, 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. 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

124


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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 notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets.

Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.

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

125


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

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

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, 2013–2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, 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 (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

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

9. 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.

126


 

High-Yield Corporate Fund

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

B. Wellington Management Company LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2016, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

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

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,521,000, 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 employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of July 31, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)

        Up-Front Periodic  
        Premium Premium Unrealized

CME—Chicago Mercantile Exchange.            

 

The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if the reference entity was subject to a credit event.

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $2,618,000 (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts), 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 $5,119,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The fund realized losses of $264,193,000 during the period from November 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in fiscal 2017. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2017.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $19,329,884,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $251,096,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $652,726,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $401,630,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund purchased $3,727,991,000 of investment securities and sold $2,310,790,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $0 and $170,920,000, respectively.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

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

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services

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

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

Wellington Management. Founded in 1928, Wellington Management is among the nation’s oldest and most respected institutional investment managers. The firm has managed the Long-Term Investment-Grade and High-Yield Corporate Funds since their inceptions. The portfolio managers of the funds are backed by well-tenured teams of research analysts who conduct detailed credit analysis. For the Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, the team conducts independent credit analysis on individual issuers to support the investment process. The portfolio managers draw upon the sector experience of these analysts and the broader fixed income team at Wellington Management to manage the fund’s duration, sector, quality, and curve positioning. For the High-Yield Corporate Fund, the team focuses on higher-quality high-yield bonds, as it expects these higher-quality issues to offer a more favorable risk/reward trade-off over the long term. The team’s credit analysis seeks to identify companies whose fundamentals are stable or improving and whose securities offer an attractive yield.

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

Investment performance

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

133


 

Cost

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

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

The benefit of economies of scale

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

The board concluded that with regard to the Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Investment-Grade Funds, the funds’ at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

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

Glossary

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

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

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

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

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

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” For the three investment-grade funds, credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and 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. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

135


 

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.

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.

Benchmark Information

High-Yield Corporate Composite Index: 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.

The People Who Govern Your Fund

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 198 Vanguard funds.

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

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.70% for Investor Shares and 0.80% for Admiral Shares. That performance was close to the average return of peer funds and ahead of the 0.45% return of its benchmark index.

The fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bellwethers: 1 Year Index, consists of a single bond—the most recently issued 1-year Treasury. It provides a frame of reference to evaluate the performance of bonds, and bond funds, with a 1-year duration.

Your fund’s 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares began the period at 0.83%, rose modestly for a while, then fell to 0.81% by the end of July.

International bonds bested their U.S. counterparts

The broad U.S. bond market advanced each month en route to returning 4.54% for the half year. With the stock market volatile at times and the global growth pace uncertain, investors sought safe-haven assets. Foreign investors flocked to U.S. Treasury debt amid exceptionally low or negative yields abroad.

The yield of the 10-year Treasury note closed July at 1.45%, down from 1.98% at the end of January. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)

2


 

The Federal Reserve has held its target for short-term interest rates at 0.25%–0.5% since raising it by a quarter percentage point last December. Money market funds and savings accounts stayed restrained by these historically low rates.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned more than 12% for U.S. investors. A number of foreign currencies strengthened against the dollar, lifting their returns when translated into dollars, but the bond returns were robust even without this currency benefit.

U.S. stocks continued to surge despite signs of uncertainty

U.S. stocks proved resilient over the half year, returning about 14%, although the global environment was far from tranquil.

Stocks tumbled after the momentous June 23 decision by U.K. voters to leave the European Union. But the market quickly recovered. Worries about the effects of “Brexit” on trade and economic growth seemed to diminish as expectations rose that major central banks would be responsive to any fallout.

International stocks also performed well, returning nearly 12%. European stocks finished solidly but still lagged as the Brexit referendum hit close to home. Emerging-market stocks and those from developed Pacific markets recorded double-digit returns.

Your fund again met its objectives, but long-term bonds were the stars

After the Fed’s long-awaited increase in its target for short-term interest rates last December, further rate hikes were expected to be only a matter of time. Instead, interest rates confounded expectations and generally trended lower. Longer-term bonds benefited the most from this shift, because they are more susceptible to changes in rates.

Your fund, of course, isn’t competing with long-term bonds. Instead, it seeks to provide a modest pickup in yield compared with money market funds, without taking on as much additional interest rate risk as short- and longer-term bond funds. It’s not a money market substitute, but it can provide current income with limited price volatility. And it has done so since its inception in February 2015.

Vanguard Fixed Income Group, your fund’s advisor, invests in money market instruments and short-term, high-quality bonds from various sectors of the fixed income market. Asset-backed bonds, such as those backed by automobile loans, represented nearly one-third of the portfolio at the end of the period,

and helped it outperform the Treasury benchmark. The fund’s corporate bonds—especially its lower-quality investment-grade holdings—also lifted its return.

As with Vanguard’s other active bond funds, the expertise of our experienced team of credit analysts is integral to managing this fund and maintaining tight risk controls.

Consider rebalancing to manage your risk

After you’ve created an investment portfolio—with a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market funds tailored to your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance—what next?

As stocks and bonds rise or fall over time, and that portfolio drifts from its original asset allocation, you should consider rebalancing back to your targets. Just one year of outsized returns can throw your allocation out of whack.

Consider 2013, when the broad U.S. stock market returned nearly 34% and the broad taxable bond market declined.

A hypothetical simple portfolio that tracked the broad U.S. market indexes and started the year with 60% stocks and 40% bonds would have ended with a more aggressive mix of 67% stocks and 33% bonds.

Rebalancing means shifting assets away from areas that have performed well toward those that have fallen behind, to restore the portfolio’s original asset allocation. That isn’t easy or intuitive, but it helps manage risk, because over time, riskier assets tend to grow faster. (For more on this, see Best Practices for Portfolio Rebalancing, at vanguard.com/research.)

You might consider, for example, monitoring your portfolio annually or semiannually and rebalancing when your allocations shift about 5 percentage points from their targets. And be aware of the tax implications.

Keeping your asset allocation from drifting too far off target can help you stay on track with the investment plan you’ve crafted to meet your financial goals.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended July 31, 2016, Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.70% for Investor Shares and 0.80% for Admiral Shares. Its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bellwethers: 1 Year Index, which consists of a single 1-year Treasury note, returned 0.45%. The average return of peer funds was 0.80%.

The investment environment

The long-anticipated U.K. referendum on whether to remain in the European Union was the period’s defining event for global capital markets. Uncertainty before the June 23 vote led to stock market volatility. Global stocks then tumbled sharply after the decision to leave, known as “Brexit,” before regaining much of their lost ground by the end of June. Because this vote has significant global economic implications, and it will take considerable time for details to be worked out, heightened uncertainty is likely to persist.

In times of increased uncertainty, investors often favor the relative safety of bonds over stocks. That tendency was evident during the past six months. The stage was set in January, just before the period started, when oil prices fell again. The broad U.S. stock market followed suit, on renewed concerns about the economy, and bonds rallied. This trend continued into the next month—and although stocks largely recovered by the end of February, the broad U.S. bond market had a one-month return of nearly 1%. Another major factor in bonds’ strength, in February and throughout the period, was central bank policy at home and abroad.

When the Federal Reserve raised its short-term interest rate target last December, in its first increase in nearly a decade, the consensus was that additional rate hikes would follow in 2016. So far, however, the Fed has held rates steady, taking into consideration not only U.S. economic indicators but also signs of weakness in some other major economies—including China—and volatility in international stock markets.

As in recent years, winter’s arrival seemed to slow the U.S. economy. First-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) rose only 0.8% (annualized), and the estimated rate for the second quarter was 1.2%. Although residential investment and consumer spending were relatively healthy, the generally stronger dollar led to higher imports, which reduced net GDP. Falling nonresidential investment and slower inventory accumulation also suppressed GDP growth. Spring brought a modest economic bounce, with U.S. employment data showing a stronger labor market and modest wage growth. Oil prices rebounded enough to calm fears of an impending global recession and disinflation, before falling below $40 a barrel just after the close of the period.

In Europe, negative interest rates continued to spread as the European Central Bank lowered its target interest rates again and began buying corporate bonds. In Japan, the yield of the 10-year government bond turned negative for the first time in February, on the heels of the Bank of Japan’s January announcement that it would adopt a negative interest rate for certain bank deposits.

(Just after the close of the period, the Bank of England cut its base rate from 0.5% to 0.25%, the lowest in the bank’s history, and announced plans to buy government and corporate bonds. The bank is seeking to mitigate some of the anticipated economic impact of the Brexit vote. The yields of short-term U.K. government bonds soon dipped into negative territory and the 10-year yield fell to a record low.)

In this environment, the still-positive yields on U.S. Treasury bonds made them—and investment-grade corporate bonds—more appealing to yield-starved investors. Interest rates fell across the Treasury yield curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield dropped from 1.98% at the end of January to below 1.40% (a record closing low) in early July, settling at 1.45% at the end of July. Over the same period—and notwithstanding the possibility that the Fed would raise rates—the 3-month Treasury yield dropped from 0.33% to 0.26%; longer-maturity yields dropped more.

Management of the fund

As we’ve noted before, your fund is managed using the same broad investment philosophy and processes as the other actively managed taxable bond funds in Vanguard’s lineup—and many of the same bond traders, risk managers, credit analysts, and other fixed income professionals.

What differentiates the Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund from our other active bond funds is its slightly more conservative tilt, consistent with its investment objective of providing current income while maintaining limited price volatility. The majority of the fund’s holdings have an expected maturity of no longer than three years, and we generally plan to hold them until they mature. (Note that some securities in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets, such as asset-backed bonds, have stated maturities in 2020 and beyond but are expected to be paid off sooner.) We maintain the fund’s duration at a policy-neutral level of approximately one year, matching its benchmark; both were 1.0 years at the end of July. (Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of bond, and bond mutual fund, prices to changes in interest rates.)

We invest in a diversified mix of Treasury, agency, corporate, asset-backed, and other bonds in the fund. Our allocations among those segments of the bond market can result in relative over- or underperformance when compared with the fund’s 1-year Treasury benchmark.

For the six months, and indeed since the fund’s inception in February 2015, we added value with our selection of asset-backed securities (ABS), particularly those backed by automobile loans. ABS constituted the largest sector in the fund, accounting for more than 30% of total assets at the end of July, and they provide an important source of diversification for your fund.

Our corporate bond holdings, especially among financials and industrials that appeared attractively valued, also helped the half-year results. The yield spread of corporates versus comparable-maturity Treasuries widened early in the period, amid heightened concerns about the economic outlook and the heavy debt

load of many energy companies, but later narrowed again, lifting corporate bond prices.

We made no major strategic shifts during the period. As anticipated, the number of bonds in the portfolio has increased as assets grow.

A look ahead

While Brexit has yet to play out, we expect the U.K. economy to suffer a recession, and we believe that there will likely be some impact on the euro zone as well.

We do not expect U.S. GDP to be crimped significantly—perhaps losing just 0.25 percentage point over the next several quarters.

The U.S. economy looks to remain on relatively solid footing, with the labor market achieving the Fed’s full employment target. Employment gains have slowed from last year, but we continue to monitor future wage gains for potential increased demand and inflation. To date, however, data suggest that lower mortgage rates and low inflation will continue to bolster home buying, mortgage refinancing, and consumer spending. These trends should help the economy to grow at about a 2% rate for the rest of the year.

U.S. monetary policy is likely to remain cautious and accommodative. No matter when the central bank next raises its target for short-term rates, we continue to believe the Fed will find it a challenge to go above 1% over the next several years. And given that other central banks—including those of the United Kingdom, Europe, and China—seem to be leaning toward more monetary accommodation, a material rise in government bond yields across the curve appears unlikely.

In managing the fund, we expect to continue to maintain a high level of liquidity through our combined holdings of Treasury and agency securities and a variety of money market instruments. This is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and with Vanguard’s current overall positioning of its actively managed bond funds.

1 The issuer operates under a congressional charter; its securities are generally neither guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury nor backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

2 Securities with a value of $502,000 have been segregated as initial margin for open futures contracts.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Adjustable-rate security.

6 Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At July 31, 2016, the aggregate value of these securities was $186,026,000, representing 20.7% of net assets.

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers 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 Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearing-house, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.

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

During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 4% and 5% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

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 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 six months ended July 31, 2016, 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. The fund had no open forward currency contracts at July 31, 2016.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax year (January 31, 2016), and for the period ended July 31, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

5. 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.

6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are

34


 

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund

charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.

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

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

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

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

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At July 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $63,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

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

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

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation

2-Year U.S. Treasury Note September 2016 (50) (10,950) 3
        (302)

 

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

F. Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.

The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at January 31, 2016, the fund had available capital losses totaling $111,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending January 31, 2017; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.

At July 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $896,268,000.

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.

Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund 1/31/2016 7/31/2016 Period
Based on Actual Fund Return      
Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,007.02 $1.05

Investor Shares $1,000.00 $1,023.82 $1.06
Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,024.32 0.55

 

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.21% for Investor Shares and 0.11% 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 (182/366).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard)—through its Fixed Income Group. The board determined that renewing the fund’s advisory arrangement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board reviewed the quality of the investment management services provided to the fund since its inception in 2015. The board considered that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

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

Investment performance

The board considered the fund’s performance since its inception in 2015, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about the fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary section of this report.

Cost

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

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

The benefit of economies of scale

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

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

Glossary

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

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

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

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

Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

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

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

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

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

The People Who Govern Your Fund

The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 198 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.
