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. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

At July 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,052,128,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $306,471,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,269,134,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $962,663,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

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).

Covered Call Options Written: The fund may write covered call options on security holdings that are considered to be attractive long-term investments but are believed to be overvalued in the short-term. When the fund writes options, the premium received by the fund is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the options written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized. Options are valued at their latest quoted sales prices. Options not traded on the valuation date are valued at the latest quoted asked prices.

 

Futures Contracts: The fund invests a portion of its cash reserves in equity markets through the use of index futures contracts. After giving effect to futures investments, the fund's effective common stock and temporary cash investment positions represent 98.0% and 4.8%, respectively, of net assets. Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices.

 

At July 31, 2008, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in September 2008 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:
