Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
In the first half of the year, cautious optimism about the U.S. economy drove stocks higher nearly across the board, before sentiment soured and stocks retrenched on a more mixed outlook for growth at home and abroad. Investors drew little distinction among the fundamentals of individual stocks during the period, which was a handicap for the fund—its performance is derived from identifying stocks that will beat or lag the crowd.
Investor Shares of Vanguard Market Neutral Fund returned –1.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2012; Institutional Shares returned –0.97%. The fund lagged the 0.03% return of its benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, and the 0.28% average return of its peer group.
Please note that Vanguard eliminated the redemption fee for your fund effective May 23. This 1% fee, which applied to shares redeemed within two months of purchase, was one of several measures in place to protect the interests of long-term investors and discourage frequent trading. The fund’s trustees determined that the fee was no longer needed.
And in case you missed our announcement last month, George U. “Gus” Sauter, managing director and chief investment officer of Vanguard, has announced his intention to retire at the end of 2012. It’s hard to overstate the contributions that Gus has made to Vanguard in his 25-year
2
career. He honed the strategy and built the team that have helped make Vanguard a world leader in indexing.
We’re fortunate that Mortimer J. “Tim” Buckley, also a managing director, will succeed Gus. Tim has been a member of Vanguard’s senior staff since 2001 and has directed Vanguard’s Retail Investor Group since 2006. I’ll have more to say about Gus’s retirement at the end of the year.
U.S. stocks posted strong returns, but Europe remained a trouble spot
U.S. stocks were the standout performers for the six months ended June 30, returning about 9%. Domestic equities seemed to benefit from the perception that they offered some shelter from the storms roiling European markets. International stocks didn’t fare as well, returning about 3%. European stocks were the weakest performers. Returns for emerging markets and the developed markets of the Pacific region were restrained by signs of slowing growth.
Throughout the period, investors were preoccupied with Europe’s debt troubles, and global stock markets moved sharply up and down depending on whether the latest news from the region was positive or negative. Vanguard economists anticipate that Europe will remain a trouble spot. The most likely scenario is that it will “muddle through” for several years, with occasional spikes in market volatility, as fiscal tightening continues in the face of weak economic growth.

Investors’ appetite for Treasuries drove 10-year yield to a new low
Amid the turmoil in Europe, U.S. Treasury securities continued to benefit from a “flight to quality.” Investor demand nudged bond prices higher, and in early June, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note slipped below 1.5% for the first time. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) It’s important to understand that low yields do imply lower future returns: As yields tumble, the scope for further declines—and price increases—diminishes.
The broad U.S. taxable bond market posted a return of about 2% for the half-year. Municipal bonds remained a bright spot, delivering a return of more than 3%.
As it has since December 2008, the Federal Reserve Board held its target for the shortest-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%. That policy has kept a tight lid on the returns from money market funds and savings accounts.
A challenging period for the fund’s strategy
The fund’s advisor, Vanguard Equity Investment Group, applies quantitative models to the fundamentals of individual stocks to assess whether they are undervalued or overvalued and therefore likely to outperform or underperform their peers. Because the fund can buy stocks it believes are undervalued and sell stocks that it believes are overvalued, the fund’s return in theory rests on the advisor’s stock selection skills and not on general market movements.
But as all seasoned investors know, any given investment strategy tends to work better under certain market conditions than others. During the half-year, the fund’s strategy struggled as stock price movements seemed linked less to valuations than to changes in the outlook for the U.S. economy, developments in the European debt crisis, and signs of slower growth in emerging markets.
The fund’s quantitative security selection models performed well in the energy and materials sectors. Short positions in coal stocks helped as their share prices declined on a weakening in the outlook for global growth. At the same time, long positions in oil refining stocks paid off as lower crude oil prices took some pressure off margins. (“Short positions” refers to stocks the fund has sold, and “long positions” to those it has purchased.) In the materials sector, long positions in chemical manufacturers, which benefited from the drop in natural gas prices, made a positive contribution.
Although seven sectors posted negative performances, including financials and consumer staples, the largest detractor was health care. The fund’s short positions penalized performance as the sector posted significant gains, in part because of its perception as a “defensive” investment, meaning that it’s viewed as somewhat insulated from the ups and downs of the economic cycle. Health care stocks were also boosted by merger-and-acquisition activity during the six months.

Not a typical Vanguard fund, but it plays a familiar role
Vanguard offers investors the building blocks to create a well-balanced portfolio. Vanguard Market Neutral Fund is unique in our lineup because it has the capacity to generate positive returns from stocks both when they rise and when they fall, but its role as a diversifier is a familiar one. As a market-neutral fund, its performance has a low correlation to the returns of stocks and bonds, which means that it can help to dampen a portfolio’s volatility while offering the potential (though not the guarantee) of better-than-cash returns. And compared with competing funds, Vanguard Market Neutral Fund boasts modest operating costs, which can help to maximize your share of any rewards.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,
F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisor’s Report
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Investor Shares of Vanguard Market Neutral Fund returned –1.06%, underperforming its benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index.
The investment environment
Strong U.S. stock market performance in the first three months of the year eroded from April through June. Concerns about Europe and signs of slowing economic growth in the United States and emerging markets affected performance and contributed to volatility.
Looking ahead to the rest of the year, brighter spots include falling energy prices, low inflation and interest rates, and signs of improvement in the housing sector. However, uncertainties about Europe, expiring domestic tax cuts, a stubbornly high unemployment rate, and the results of the upcoming U.S. presidential election could continue to weigh on the markets.
Management of the fund
The ongoing economic uncertainty has been accompanied by U.S. stock market correlations that remain high relative to long-term averages. This implies that investors are focused more on macroeconomic factors than on differences among individual stocks. Our model struggles in such an environment because it attempts solely to differentiate among stocks, not to predict factors.
Our quantitative approach to investing focuses on specific stock fundamentals. We believe there is no single indicator for identifying outperforming stocks, so we diversify across multiple components:
• Valuation, which measures the price we pay for earnings and cash flows.
• Growth, which considers the growth of earnings when factoring how much we pay for them.
• Management decisions, which looks at the actions taken by company management. (Because management is privy to better knowledge of a company’s prospects and earnings than any market participant, executives’ actions can signal their opinions of a firm’s future.)
• Market sentiment, which captures how investors reflect their opinions of a company through their activity in the market.
• Quality, which measures balance sheet strength and the sustainability of earnings.
In the Market Neutral Fund, we use these indicators to create a portfolio that is neutral with respect to overall stock market risk by buying stocks we believe are undervalued and selling short stocks we believe to be overvalued. We do so in amounts to target a beta of 0.0, or market neutrality. (Beta is a measure of a stock’s volatility relative to the volatility of the broad stock market.)
6
For the six-month period, our stock selection model results were mixed. Our quality, management decisions, growth, and market sentiment indicators contributed positively to performance, while our valuation component detracted from performance.
Successes and shortfalls
Our best-performing long positions were Pharmacyclics, Western Refining, CVR Energy, and Coinstar. The fund also benefited from short positions in Alpha Natural Resources and Arch Coal. Unfortunately, long positions in Tempur-Pedic and Assured Guaranty, as well as short positions in AOL, Catalyst Health, and Gaylord Entertainment detracted.
Outlook
Despite the challenging and unpredictable macroeconomic and political environment, we are confident that our strategy to capture the spread between undervalued and overvalued stocks can continue to play a useful role in a diversified investment plan.
We thank you for your investment and look forward to the second half of the fiscal year.

Market Neutral Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Market Neutral 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 Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. 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. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Short Sales: Short sales are the sales of securities that the fund does not own. The fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of that security. In order to deliver the security to the purchaser, the fund borrows the security from a broker-dealer. The fund must segregate, as collateral for its obligation to return the borrowed security, an amount of cash and long security positions at least equal to the market value of the security sold short. This results in the fund holding a significant portion of its assets in cash. The fund later closes out the position by returning the security to the lender, typically by purchasing the security in the open market. A gain, limited to the price at which the fund sold the security short, or a loss, theoretically unlimited in size, is recognized upon the termination of the short sale. The fund may receive a portion of the income from the investment of collateral, or be charged a fee on borrowed securities, based on the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. The net amounts of income or fees are recorded as interest income (for net income received) or borrowing expense on securities sold short (for net fees charged) on the Statement of Operations. Dividends on securities sold short are reported as an expense in the Statement of Operations.
Cash collateral segregated for securities sold short is recorded as an asset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Long security positions segregated as collateral are shown in the Statement of Net Assets.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (March 31, 2008–December 31, 2011), and for the period ended June 30, 2012, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
22
Market Neutral Fund
5. Other: Dividend income (or dividend expense on short positions) is recorded on the ex-dividend date Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At June 30, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $31,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At June 30, 2012, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was based on Level 1 inputs.
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at December 31, 2011, the fund available capital losses totaling $28,829,000 to offset future net capital gains. Of this amount, $24,465,000 is subject to expiration dates; $19,593,000 may be used to offset future net capital gains through December 31, 2017, and $4,872,000 through December 31, 2018. Capital losses of $4,364,000 realized beginning in fiscal 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely but must be used before any expiring loss carryforwards.

Market Neutral Fund
At June 30, 2012, the cost of long security positions for tax purposes was $193,513,000. Net unrealized appreciation of long security positions for tax purposes was $17,665,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $24,526,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $6,861,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase. Tax-basis net unrealized depreciation on securities sold short was $544,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $14,452,000 on securities that had fallen in value since their sale and $14,996,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had risen in value since their sale.
E. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the fund purchased $124,808,000 of investment securities and sold $101,538,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. The proceeds of short sales and the cost of purchases to cover short sales were $125,577,000 and $107,678,000 respectively.
F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

At June 30, 2012, the Vanguard Managed Payout Distribution Focus Fund was the record or beneficial owner of 51% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.
G. In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $989.38 | $8.71 |
Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 990.32 | 8.21 |

Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,016.11 | $8.82 |
Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,016.61 | 8.32 |
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 1.76% for Investor Shares and 1.66% for Institutional Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Market Neutral Fund has renewed the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as the investment advisor for the fund. The board determined that continuing the fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. 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 considered the quality of the fund’s investment management since Vanguard began managing the fund in 2007 and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.
The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of a relevant benchmark and peer group. The board concluded that the advisor had carried out the fund’s investment strategy in disciplined fashion. 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 reasonable compared with the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that the fund’s advisory fee rate was well below the 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 low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as the fund’s assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary
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.
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
28
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 179 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
