SUMMARY

* Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund’s Investor Shares returned 3.1% during the 12 months ended August 31, 2004.

* The fund’s returns were slightly better than the performance of the average mutual fund peer, but came up short of the returns posted by the fund’s benchmark index and the broad stock market.

* The fund’s disappointing long-term returns reflect an extended period of poor performance during the stock market downturn from early 2000 to early 2003.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

The Investor Shares of Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund returned 3.1% during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. The fund’s Admiral Shares returned 3.3%. Although these returns fell short of that of the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index, they were slightly higher than the result for the average mutual fund peer.

The adjacent table summarizes the results for your fund, its primary benchmark, the average peer, and the broad U.S. stock market. The fund’s per-share distributions and changes in share price can be found in the table on page 6. If you hold shares of the fund in a taxable account, you may wish to review the report on after-tax returns on page 14.

STOCKS HUNG ON TO FIRST-HALF GAINS

A strong rally in stock prices during the first half of the fiscal year produced solid 12-month gains, despite a volatile second-half retreat. The broad stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, returned 11.5% for the 12 months.

Through February, stocks benefited from strong corporate earnings growth and a string of positive economic surprises. The environment then deteriorated, however, especially in the final months of the fiscal year, when job growth slowed, the reported growth in second-quarter gross domestic product was revised downward, and the economy started showing the strain of a relentless upward trend in crude oil prices.

Admiral™ Shares

A lower-cost class of shares available to many longtime shareholders and to those with significant investments in the fund.

Larger- and smaller-capitalization stocks provided roughly equal returns for the year. Value-oriented stocks (those with relatively low ratios of price to fundamental measures such as earnings) had significantly better returns than growth stocks across market capitalizations. International stocks produced by far the largest gains for U.S. investors, boosted by the weakness of the U.S. dollar (which increases returns for international investments purchased with the greenback). Impressive gains were widespread across Eurozone countries, Japan, and emerging markets.

BONDS MIRRORED STOCKS’ RETURNS

Like stocks, the bond market seesawed in response to a rapidly changing economic picture. Bond prices rose steadily until April, when they underwent a sudden reversal, boosting yields (which move in the opposite direction from prices), in response to reports of higher-than-expected inflation and job growth. But prices jumped again in August, when signs multiplied that the recent economic surge had cooled. During the fiscal year, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a benchmark for longer-term interest rates, dropped to a low of 3.69% in March, climbed to 4.65% by the end of May, and ended the period at 4.12%.

	Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index	1.0	1.5	3.0
CPI	Consumer Price Index	2.7%	2.2%	2.5%

For the full 12 months, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.1%. Corporate bonds provided higher returns than government issues. The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill—a proxy for money market rates—rose in anticipation of, and in response to, the Federal Reserve Board’s June and August hikes in its target for the federal funds

rate.The bill yielded 1.58% at the end of the period, up 0.61 percentage point from its August 31, 2003, level.

THE FUND’S INITIAL STRONG SHOWING COULD NOT BE SUSTAINED

The story of the fund’s performance over the 12 months can be told in two distinct phases. In the first half of the period, the fund enjoyed a strong showing, advancing 11.9% through the end of February. Holdings in the technology, health care, and financial services sectors led the way.

The past year has been a tale of two markets. The fund’s holdings rallied during the first half, led by strong performance from growth-oriented technology and health care stocks. In the second half, many of these same stocks suffered reversals.

In the second half of the fiscal year, however, amid the uncertain economic environment, investors’ enthusiasm for growth-oriented stocks waned significantly. Many of the stocks in the technology and health care sectors that had gains in the first half of the period experienced notable reversals of fortune, posting steep losses. Several of the fund’s tech stocks reported disappointing sales and earnings, which sent their stock prices tumbling. In the health care sector, intense generic competition and inconclusive off-label drug trials adversely affected a number of the fund’s holdings among drugmakers.

For the 12 months, the sectors that provided the greatest contributions to the fund’s returns were financial services, health care, and consumer discretionary. Collectively, these sectors represented just under 60% of total assets on August 31, yet accounted for almost 90% (2.8 percentage points) of the 3.1% return of the fund’s Investor Shares. In financial services, the fund earned handsome returns from American International Group and Citigroup, among others. Drugmaker Pfizer and health insurer WellPoint Health Networks were some of the largest contributors among the fund’s health care holdings, while Avon Products and eBay were leaders in the consumer discretionary sector.

Some missteps in sector weightings and security selection led the fund to underperform its benchmark index. Although the fund was modestly overweighted relative to the index in the health care group, it did not hold some of the index’s better performers. The advisors’ underweighting of the strongly performing consumer staples sector relative to the index also hurt the fund’s performance, as did light weightings in energy- and industrial-related stocks.

As you may already be aware, the fund adopted a multimanager approach effective April 19, 2004. William Blair & Company of Chicago was brought on board to oversee 25%–30% of the fund’s assets. William Blair & Company uses fundamental analysis to select stocks that it believes are of high quality and have sustainable, above-average growth prospects. In addition, Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group began managing a small portion (roughly 4%) of assets to facilitate cash flows to the other advisors.

*These short-term reserves are invested by The Vanguard Group in equity index products to simulate
investment in stocks. Each advisor may also maintain a modest cash position.

THE FUND’S APPROACH HAS MERIT, BUT HAS FALTERED

At the close of its 2004 fiscal year, your fund held just 69 stocks, reflecting the advisors’ consistently applied strategy of seeking superior performance by narrowing a broad universe of prospective investments into a fairly small portfolio of companies believed to have the best prospects for strong growth. This approach can at times be out of favor with the market. And although the advisors steered the fund to a modest gain for the fiscal year, we’re disappointed in the fund’s continued underperformance relative to its benchmark index. Nevertheless, we are confident that the fund’s strategy is a sound one, as the advisors have demonstrated success in the past with their respective investment approaches.

We typically advise that our shareholders pay more attention to a fund’s long-term record than to any short-term result. In this case, however, the fund’s ten-year record may not be fully relevant, because the fund’s lead manager, Alliance Capital Management, replaced the previous manager in 2001, and William Blair & Company, LLC joined the team earlier this year.

As the table on page 5 shows, the fund’s average annual return for the ten years ended August 31 trailed those of the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the average large-cap growth fund, and the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index by several percentage points. That deficiency would have made for disappointing growth in a hypothetical $10,000 initial investment. The poor returns the fund posted in its 2001 and 2002 fiscal years—two of the worst years in the fund’s 45-year history and

a period when investors in general were suffering through one of the most vexing bear markets in the history of the U.S. stock market— accounted for much of the substantial shortfall.

BALANCE AND DISCIPLINE
ARE KEY

The stock market has experienced some difficult periods over the past few years. This has also been the case for the U.S. Growth Fund. Because the fund focuses on fast-growing, dynamic companies, we would be remiss not to remind our shareholders that the fund is subject to abrupt swings in its performance.

The fund’s aggressive approach makes it suitable as just one component of a well-diversified portfolio. As we have repeated many times over the years, choosing a broad mix of stock, bond, and money market investments that matches your goals and risk tolerance—then having the discipline to stick with it through the markets’ ups and downs—is the best strategy for the long haul.

We thank you for your continued confidence in Vanguard.

Sincerely,

John J. Brennan

ADVISOR’S REPORT

During the 12 months ended August 31, 2004, Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund’s Investor Shares returned 3.1%. The following comments reflect the views and investment decisions of Alliance Capital Management, which managed 68% of fund assets at the fiscal year-end.

INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

The past year was characterized by significant equity-market volatility amid a generally favorable environment for economic recovery and corporate profitability. While there were many impressive examples of business success across a range of sectors, investor sentiment vacillated, resulting in short-term market shifts often unrelated to fundamentals.

In the final months of calendar 2003, investors appeared to focus on the robust pace of economic recovery and the rebound in earnings across economically sensitive sectors. By the spring of 2004—although corporate profitability growth remained impressive, topping expectations—investor sentiment shifted in response to the clearly telegraphed prospect of a change in monetary policy. This resulted in weakness across the financial services sector and a range of defensive growth sectors, notably health care.

Investment Philosophy

The fund reflects a belief that superior long-term investment results can be achieved by emphasizing investments in growth companies that are leaders in their industries and that have a strong market presence.

Recent months witnessed the most signifi-cant correction in equity markets since the cyclical recovery began a year and a half ago. A variety of factors were at work. Concerns over monetary policy gave way to worries about escalating energy prices, geopolitical tensions, and a heightened terrorist threat. Political uncertainty mounted with the party conventions and the approach of the November elections. Finally, otherwise- positive economic data suggested a deceleration of domestic consumption and economic growth. Second-quarter GDP grew at 3.3%, compared with 4.5% for the first quarter and 5.5% for the second half of 2003.

Eighteen months into the economic recovery, it is reasonable to expect that year-to-year growth in corporate profits will slow as the pace of economic expansion subsides to a more sustainable level. Nonetheless,

corporate profits have continued to exhibit impressive strength overall, with profit margins at 30-year highs and free cash flow at double the previous peak. The economy appears to have shifted to a more balanced expansion, as evidenced by encouraging reports on capital spending, business confidence, and hiring expectations.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

In part, our investment results reflected disappointing performance by a number of holdings in the health care sector, which was modestly overweighted throughout the fiscal year in comparison with our benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The volatile technology sector was also a disappointment. Significantly, most of our holdings in these two important sectors continued to enjoy strong earnings growth and overall fundamental success.

Although its impact was less significant, our lack of exposure to the energy and industrial sectors—which performed particularly well during the period—also hurt performance relative to our benchmark.

OUR SUCCESSES

Despite the overall relative weakness of technology and health care stocks, a number of individual holdings did well. They included Symantec, Juniper Networks, Marvell Technology, WellPoint Health Networks, Alcon, and UnitedHealth Group. Good results also came from American International Group, Avon Products, Danaher, and eBay, a tech-flavored consumer-oriented stock.

OUR SHORTFALLS

Within the technology sector, Veritas Software, Broadcom, Flextronics, and Mercury Interactive hurt our relative performance. Detractors elsewhere included Forest Laboratories, Viacom, and Bed Bath & Beyond.

THE PORTFOLIO’S POSITIONING

As the economic recovery matures and growth rates subside to a more sustainable pace, we believe the market will increasingly differentiate between high-quality successful companies with enduring competitive advantages and their less resilient rivals.

Accordingly, we have sought to focus the portfolio on well-managed, leadership companies that we believe possess sustainable competitive advantages and superior longer-term growth prospects. Reflecting these competitive strengths, the average revenue per share of our portfolio holdings grew 20% compounded annually over the past five years, compared with 10% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index and 7% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. Similarly, the average earnings per share of our holdings grew 25% over those five years, compared with 12% and 9%, respectively, for the indexes.

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS

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%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). 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.

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’s equity assets represented by stocks or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

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.

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.

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).

Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s income from interest and dividends. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year. The index yield is based on the current annualized rate of income provided by securities in the index.

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. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) 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.

YOUR FUND’S AFTER-TAX RETURNS

This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.

The table shows returns for Investor Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating 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 table below 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% 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.

Six Months Ended August 31, 2004
U.S. Growth Fund	Beginning Account Value 2/29/2004	Ending Account Value 8/31/2004	Expenses Paid During Period*
Based on Actual Fund Return
Investor Shares	$1,000.00	$ 921.85	$2.57
Admiral Shares	1,000.00	922.79	1.50

Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return
Investor Shares	$1,000.00	$1,022.33	$2.70
Admiral Shares	1,000.00	1,023.44	1.58

*These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.53% for
Investor Shares and 0.31% 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 fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account

maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus. If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”

Expense Ratios:
Your fund compared with its peer group
	Investor Shares	Admiral Shares	Average Large-Cap Growth Fund
U.S. Growth Fund	0.53%	0.32%	1.61%*

*Peer-group expense ratio is derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and captures information through year-end 2003.

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 for the past five years, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the current fund prospectus.

This Statement provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are grouped and subtotaled by asset type (common stocks, bonds, etc.) and by industry sector. Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Because all income and any realized gains must be distributed to shareholders each year, the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The amounts shown for Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the sums the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as income dividends or capital gains as of the statement date, but may differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net income or net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. 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).

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This Statement shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The amounts shown as Distributions to shareholders from the fund’s net income and capital gains may not match the amounts shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the net amount shareholders invested in or redeemed from the fund. Distributions and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes the fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. It also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; how much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES, WHICH ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard U.S. Growth 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, servicing, tenure, 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.

Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 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 materially 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. Investments in Vanguard^®Market Liquidity Fund are valued at the 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.

Futures Contracts: The fund uses S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq 100 Index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. 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).

Repurchase Agreement: The fund, along with other members of The Vanguard Group, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

4.	Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

5.	Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

6.	Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily.

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. Alliance Capital Management L.P. and, beginning April 19, 2004, William Blair & Company, LLC, each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fee for Alliance Capital Management is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance for the preceding three years relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. In accordance with the advisory contract entered into with William Blair & Company in April 2004, the investment advisory fee will be subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index beginning March 1, 2005.

The Vanguard Group manages the cash reserves of the portfolio on an at-cost basis.

For the year ended August 31, 2004, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.14% of the fund’s average net assets before a decrease of $1,946,000 (0.03%) based on performance.

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost 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 August 31, 2004, the fund had contributed capital of $951,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.95% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

During 2002, the fund elected to use a provision of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 to mark-to-market certain appreciated securities held on January 1, 2001; such securities were treated as sold and repurchased, with unrealized gains of $912,491,000 becoming realized and reducing the fund’s capital loss carryforward, for tax purposes. The mark-to-market had no effect on realized gains or unrealized appreciation for financial statement purposes; it created a difference between the cost of investments for financial statement and tax purposes, which will reverse when the securities are sold. The fund realized gains on the sale of these securities through August 31, 2003, and subsequently during the year ended August 31, 2004, of $656,107,000 and $112,789,000, respectively, for financial statement purposes, which were included in fiscal 2001 mark-to-market gains for tax purposes. The remaining difference of $143,595,000 is

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

reflected in the balance of accumulated net realized losses; the corresponding difference between the securities’ costs for financial statement purposes and for tax purposes is reflected in unrealized appreciation.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2004, the fund had $7,889,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $7,213,242,000 to offset future net capital gains of $3,610,329,000 through August 31, 2010, $2,548,333,000 through August 31, 2011, $887,490,000 through August 31, 2012, and $167,090,000 through August 31, 2013.

At August 31, 2004, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $40,023,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $524,720,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $564,743,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At August 31, 2004, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in September 2004 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

		(000)

Futures Contracts	Number of Long Contracts	Aggregate Settlement Value	Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
Nasdaq 100 E-Mini	1,700	$46,580	$(2,092)
S&P 500	114	31,469	(494)
S&P 500 E-Mini	65	3,588	(15)

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

F. During the year ended August 31, 2004, the fund purchased $4,879,248,000 of investment securities and sold $5,909,689,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.

G. The market value of securities on loan to broker/dealers at August 31, 2004, was $7,462,000, for which the fund held cash collateral of $7,715,000. The fund invests cash collateral received in temporary cash investments, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard U.S. Growth Fund (the “Fund”) at August 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

Global financial markets hit a soft patch during the second half of your fund’s fiscal year, but it did not erase the spectacular gains of the first half, particularly for those invested abroad. During the 12 months ended August 31, 2004, the Investor Shares of Vanguard International Growth Fund returned 18.1% and the fund’s Admiral Shares returned 18.4%.

However, as the table below shows, the results were a tad shy of the average return of international stock funds and more than 4 percentage points short of the return of the unmanaged benchmark index, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index. Most of the shortfall relative to the index was due to the advisors’ overweighting of the lagging technology sector and stock selection in the financials sector.

The table also shows the return of the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, the broadest proxy for international stocks, including those from emerging markets.

The total returns are based on the changes in capital plus reinvested distributions. The fund’s distributions and share prices at the beginning and end of the period are shown in the table on page 6. For those who hold the fund in a taxable account, page 15 shows after-tax returns for investors in the highest tax bracket.

STOCKS HUNG ON TO FIRST-HALF GAINS

A strong global rally in stock prices during the first half of the fiscal year produced solid 12-month gains, despite a volatile second-half retreat. The broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, returned 11.5% for the 12 months. In local currencies, developed markets overseas, as measured by the EAFE Index, did only marginally better (+11.7%). However, the EAFE Index’s U.S.-dollar return was almost double its local-currency return because of weakness in the dollar (which increases the returns of international investments purchased with the greenback), particularly during the first half of the period.

Impressive gains were widespread across Eurozone countries, Japan, and emerging markets. In both domestic and overseas markets, value-oriented stocks (those with relatively low ratios of price to fundamental measures such as earnings and book value) had significantly better returns than growth stocks.

Through February, stocks benefited from strong corporate earnings growth and a string of positive economic surprises, particularly in the United States. The environment then deteriorated, however, especially in the final months of the fiscal year, when U.S. job growth slowed and the global economy started showing the strain of a relentless upward trend in crude oil prices.

BONDS MIRRORED
STOCKS’ RETURNS

Like stocks, the U.S. bond market seesawed in response to a rapidly changing economic picture. Bond prices rose steadily until April, when they underwent a sudden reversal, boosting yields (which move in the opposite direction from prices), in response to reports of higher-than-expected inflation and job growth. But prices

-2-

jumped again in August, when signs multiplied that the recent economic surge had cooled. During the fiscal year, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a benchmark for longer-term interest rates, dropped to a low of 3.69% in March, climbed to 4.65% by the end of May, and ended the period at 4.12%.

More wary of recession than inflation, central banks overseas took a more cautious route than the Fed, generally keeping their key interest rates unchanged. A notable exception was the Bank of England, which raised rates five times during the fiscal period for a cumulative 125-basis-point increase to 4.75%.

STRONG PERFORMANCES WERE ALMOST UNIVERSAL ACROSS SECTORS

During the fiscal year, all but one of the industry sectors in the International Growth Fund had double-digit gains. Stocks in the fund’s two largest sector weightings, financials and consumer discretionary, returned 18% and 23%, respectively, and accounted for roughly half of your fund’s total return.

The fund’s holdings in the information technology sector were the exception to the pattern of stellar gains, with companies such as Nokia and Rohm (a Japanese manufacturer of electronic components) falling more than 20%. Although the fund’s IT holdings did not do that much worse than those in the EAFE Index, roughly 14% of the fund’s assets, on average, were invested in the sector, nearly double the sector weighting of the benchmark. That, combined with the fact that the advisors’ stock selections in financials did not keep pace with those in

the index (+18% for the fund versus +26% for the index), caused most of the drag on the fund’s performance relative to that of the benchmark.

Regional factors did not play a major role in the fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year. With a few exceptions, such as Finland (home of Nokia), returns were uniformly solid across countries for both the fund and the index. Nevertheless, your fund’s holdings in Japan, the second-largest country weighting for both the fund and the benchmark, lagged those in the index (+17% versus +22%), which marginally contributed to the fund’s relative underperformance.

As you know, two investment advisors manage assets for the International Growth Fund, providing complementary investment management styles and further diversifying the portfolio.

YOUR FUND OUTPACED ITS BENCHMARKS OVER TEN YEARS

While the International Growth Fund lagged its benchmark index in the past fiscal year, it has logged a solid record over longer periods. As the accompanying table shows, during the past decade an initial hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the fund would have provided roughly an extra $2,000 over a similar investment in either the index or the average competing fund.

Much of the credit goes to your fund’s advisors, particularly Schroder Investment Management North America, which has been with the fund since its inception in 1981. The advisors have also been aided by Vanguard’s low costs, which give them a leg up over competitors. It’s difficult for even the most talented asset managers to post above-average long-term returns when they have to overcome high operating costs, year in and year out. The expense ratios (annualized operating expenses as a percentage of average net assets) of our funds are typically a fraction of the average for peer fund groups. For more information on your fund’s expenses, please refer to page 16.

Total Returns	Ten Years Ended August 31, 2004

Average International Fund	3.4	13,906
MSCI All Country World
Index ex USA	3.7	14,329

Of course, while a low expense ratio helps boost performance relative to peer funds, it cannot prevent disappointing returns if the markets

provide strong headwinds. While global equity markets have made tremendous gains since March 2003, this upturn followed one of the worst bear markets in modern history, resulting in your fund’s annualized return of 4.8% over the past decade—respectable, but modest compared with the long-term historical averages for equity markets. It helps to bear in mind that volatility is the norm when it comes to stocks, and you should build your portfolio and investment plan accordingly.

THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL STOCKS IN YOUR PORTFOLIO

During the 1990s, when the domestic stock market far outpaced markets overseas, it was difficult to convince investors that holding international equities was worthwhile. Even some finance professionals and academics began questioning whether international holdings were necessary in their traditional role as diversifiers, given that the movements of domestic and international stocks had been more in sync in recent decades. However, as long as two asset classes are not perfectly in sync, diversification can potentially add value. Those who have continued to invest in international stocks should feel some vindication.

Indeed, international equity investments have done so well recently that many investors are rediscovering the virtues of diversification, perhaps forgetting that the reward comes from diversifying into an underappreciated asset class or market segment before, not after, it rallies. Nevertheless, as we’ve continually advocated through the years, international equities can still help augment and diversify your stock portfolio over the long run, particularly if you rebalance assets to your target allocations on a periodic basis. Such balance is even more important when it comes to broad asset classes—stocks, bonds, and short-term reserves. As part of such a diversified investment plan, the International Growth Fund can play a valuable role.

Thank you for entrusting your hard-earned money to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

John J. Brennan

ADVISOR’S REPORT

International stock markets retreated slightly in the second half of our fiscal year, following their robust performance in the first half. Overall, the Investor Shares of Vanguard International Growth Fund returned 18.1% for the 12 months ended August 31, 2004, compared with the 18.7% rise in the average international fund and the 22.6% rise in the MSCI EAFE Index.

This report focuses on the portion of the portfolio managed by Schroder Investment Management North America, representing 75% of the fund’s assets as of August 31, 2004.

THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT

The bullish run of international stock markets and of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar came to an end soon after my last report to you was written six months ago. Since then, markets and currencies have traded sideways in classic fashion, preserving those gains. The bull run should have ended anyway as investors began to focus on the duller outlook for economies and corporate profits in 2005 and the prospect of tightening monetary policy. But the end was accelerated by March’s terrorist outrage in Madrid, two days ahead of Spain’s elections, and rising oil prices resulting from speculation about the resumption of Iraqi exports. The markets never really had time to regain their confidence.

Investment Philosophy

The fund reflects a belief that superior long-term investment results can be achieved by selecting the stocks of companies with the potential for above-average earnings growth, with particular emphasis on companies in countries with favorable business and market environments.

Market conditions such as those seen over the last six months often signal a change in leadership among stocks, and, as foreshadowed in my report six months ago, this is what we had prepared for. We expected the outperforming issues to be large stocks, better-quality companies with strong balance sheets and market positions, and companies with visible long-term growth prospects—in sum, the type of stocks that typically make up your fund. Such stocks usually outperform when investors become less exuberant. Recently, we have seen large-capitalization stocks no longer underperforming small-caps, and better-quality stocks beginning to

-7-

outperform poorer-quality stocks in Europe, but not yet in Japan. However, by most measures, value stocks have generally not yet given way to growth issues. We believe the tide is turning, slowly.

In our opinion, profit growth overseas should continue at a stronger pace and for a longer duration than in the United States. Europe and Japan are following the U.S. economic cycle and, in most countries, businesses cannot for cultural or legislative reasons cut costs as rapidly as in the United States. While U.S. companies have little left to cut after three years of cost-cutting, overseas companies still have plenty of cost-cutting in store that will boost their profits. I don’t see this as creating a strong second leg to the bull market, but rather an upward leg in which the risk of negative surprises should be less than in the United States.

Finally, it seems likely to us that, at some stage, the U.S. dollar will resume its downtrend, boosting returns from non-U.S. stocks. It is difficult to predict currencies, but the dollar is more at risk if U.S. economic growth falls below trend and investors begin to assume that U.S. interest rates are peaking.

OUR SUCCESSES

This was not a year when many growth funds could brag about successes relative to broad indexes. That said, many of the strategic changes we made during the year helped performance. Notably, having entered the year with no oil stocks, we amassed large holdings around year-end as part of a move into cheaper, more defensive stocks. Both this move generally and the stocks chosen added value for the fund. The success of this positioning was the more remarkable since one of our chosen stocks was a small holding in Russia’s YUKOS, which crashed together with its chief executive’s political ambitions.

Our progressively more cautious stance about continental Europe and, in particular, uncompetitive Germany also helped performance.

OUR FAILURES

One of the most prominent long-term bets in our portfolio is that Asian companies will outperform European companies, most notably in the area of electronics and technology. Six months ago we reported that we were prepared to hold such stocks through a likely short-term downturn, and for the most part, we did. However, it hurt us. Overall, information

-8-

technology was the worst-performing sector during the year, with a zero return, and our stocks did marginally worse.

More broadly, we have committed significant amounts to domestic companies in Asian emerging markets, anticipating that they will benefit from the growing economic stability and prosperity of the region. This is working, but over the period there were more exciting returns in EAFE countries and in Latin America.

Finally, the market’s preference for low-quality stocks in Japan clearly hurt us. In the past few months, however, we have seen the trend change for the better even if it is not yet evident in broader index statistics.

OUR POSITIONING

We believe that the broadly defensive nature of our portfolio is appropriate for the rest of calendar 2004 and into 2005. There are gains to be made, but we consider that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. We include several of our South Korean and Taiwanese stocks in the tough category although others consider them to be risky.

We now have more invested in the United Kingdom than in continental Europe—again, a sign of caution—and possess a great list of blue chip companies in Japan that are both cheap and among the most strongly financed companies in the world.

Finally, our low level of cash indicates that we are not nervous about the markets, but we are quality-conscious.

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. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) 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.

YOUR FUND’S AFTER-TAX RETURNS

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect the reduced tax rates on ordinary income (including qualified dividend income) and short-term capital gains that became effective as of January 1, 2003, and on long-term capital gains realized on or after May 6, 2003. To calculate qualified dividend income, we used actual 2003 figures and estimates for 2004. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.) The table shows returns for Investor Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.

Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

Six Months Ended August 31, 2004

International Growth Fund	Beginning Account Value 2/29/2004	Ending Account Value 8/31/2004	Expenses Paid During Period*


Based on Actual Fund Return
Investor Shares	$ 1,000.00$	965.70$	3.03
Admiral Shares	1,000.00	966.52	2.18
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return
Investor Shares	$ 1,000.00$	1,021.92$	3.11
Admiral Shares	1,000.00	1,022.78	2.24

*These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.61% for Investor Shares and 0.44% 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 fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only; they do not include your fund’s low-balance fee or the 2% fee that applies to shares purchased on or after July 27, 2003, and held for less than two months.

Expense Ratios:
Your fund compared with its peer group

	Investor Shares	Admiral Shares	Average International Fund

International Growth Fund	0.63%	0.45%	1.76%*

*Peer-group expense ratio is derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and captures information through year-end 2003.

These fees are fully described in the prospectus. If the 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 for the past five years, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES, WHICH ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard International Growth Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of United States corporations. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 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 materially 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 monitoring news to identify signifi-cant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, futures contracts or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time to determine whether a significant change in value has occurred. 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. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard® Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the valuation date as employed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the calculation of its indexes. As part of the fund’s fair value procedures, exchange rates may be adjusted if they change significantly before the fund’s pricing time but after the time at which the MSCI rates are determined (generally 11:00 a.m. Eastern time). 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 asset or liability is settled in cash, when they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses S&P ASX 200 Index, Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Index, FTSE 100 Index, and Topix Index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining exposure to the European and Pacific stock markets while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

-27-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The fund also enters into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. 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.

Futures and forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. 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 gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.

4. Repurchase Agreements: The fund, along with other members of The Vanguard Group, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

5. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

B. Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fee of each advisor is subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index. For Schroder, the adjustments are based on performance for the preceding three years, and for Baillie Gifford the adjustments are based on performance since December 1, 2003.

The Vanguard Group manages the cash reserves of the fund on an at-cost basis.

For the year ended August 31, 2004, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.13% of the fund’s average net assets, before a decrease of $322,000 based on performance.

-28-

C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost 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 August 31, 2004, the fund had contributed capital of $1,164,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.16% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. The fund has asked its investment advisors to direct certain security trades, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to brokers who have agreed to rebate to the fund part of the commissions generated. Such rebates are used solely to reduce the fund’s management and administrative expenses. The fund’s custodian bank has also agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended August 31, 2004, these arrangements reduced the fund’s management and administrative expenses by $2,272,000 and custodian fees by $4,000. The total expense reduction represented an effective annual rate of 0.03% of the fund’s average net assets.

E. 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. During the year ended August 31, 2004, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $314,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. For tax purposes, at August 31, 2004, the fund had $120,955,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $852,521,000 to offset future net capital gains of $142,747,000 through August 31, 2010, and $709,774,000 through August, 31, 2011.

At August 31, 2004, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,216,766,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,428,139,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $211,373,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

At August 31, 2004, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in September 2004 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

			(000)

Index Fund/Futures Contracts	Number of Long Contracts	Aggregate Settlement Value	Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard International Growth Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard International Growth Fund (the “Fund”) at August 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

The Investor Shares of Vanguard Calvert Social Index Fund returned 8.7% during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, capturing most of the gain in the first half of the period. The fund successfully tracked its target benchmark, trailing by an amount consistent with its costs, and outdistanced its average mutual fund peer by nearly 6 percentage points.

The adjacent table presents the 12-month total return (capital change plus reinvested dividends) for your fund’s Investor Shares along with the returns of the fund’s comparative standards: the benchmark Calvert Social Index; the average large-capitalization growth fund; and the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, a proxy for the broad U.S. stock market. The table above also includes the return for the fund’s Institutional Shares, which require a minimum investment of $10 million.

The fund’s distributions and its share prices at the beginning and end of the period are shown in the table on page 5. For those who hold the fund in a taxable account, page 10 shows after-tax returns for the Investor Shares, based on the highest tax bracket.

Institutional Shares

This class of shares carries lower expenses and is available for a minimum investment of $10 million.

STOCKS HUNG ON TO FIRST-HALF GAINS

A strong rally in stock prices during the first half of the fiscal year produced solid 12-month gains, despite a volatile second-half retreat. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index returned 11.5% for the year. Through February, stocks benefited from strong corporate earnings growth and a string of positive economic surprises. The environment then deteriorated, however, especially in the final months of the fiscal year, when job growth slowed, the reported growth in second-quarter gross domestic product was revised downward, and the economy started showing the strain of a relentless rise in crude oil prices.

BONDS MIRRORED STOCKS’ RETURNS

the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a benchmark for longer-term interest rates, dropped to a low of 3.69% in March, climbed to 4.65% by the end of May, and ended the period at 4.12%. For the full 12 months, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.1%. Corporate bonds provided higher returns than government issues. The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill—a proxy for money market rates—rose in anticipation of, and in response to, the Federal Reserve Board’s June and August hikes in its target for the federal funds rate. The bill yielded 1.58% at the end of the period, up 0.61 percentage point from its August 31, 2003, level.

FINANCIAL COMPANIES DROVE FUND PERFORMANCE

The Calvert Social Index Fund enjoyed positive returns from 10 of the 11 sectors in which it was invested during the year. Technology provided the exception.

The fund’s investment of 80% of its assets in just four sectors reflects the social screening used to construct its target benchmark, the Calvert Social Index. The index is maintained by the Calvert Group of Bethesda, Maryland, which screens companies on the basis of workplace issues, environmental issues, product safety and impact, international operations and human rights, indigenous people’s rights, community relations, and corporate responsibility. Approximately 625 of the 1,000 largest companies in the United States are represented in the Calvert Social Index.

The fund’s largest sector—financial services, representing 30% of assets on August 31—was the source of more than half the 12-month gain. Banks posted strong gains, as did insurers.

The fund’s health care and consumer discretionary stocks contributed to the overall return in amounts proportionate with their combined 30% weighting. Big drug companies struggled as competition intensified, but equipment makers performed well. Among consumer stocks, online retailers were standouts.

The fund’s other large sector, technology, which made up 20% of assets as of August 31, finished the fiscal year down –4.5%. Technology stocks turned in a strong performance in 2003 after three poor years, but reversed course in 2004 as investors became more risk averse.

SOCIAL SCREENS HELP SHAPE RESULTS

Because it tracks the index, the fund will diverge from the broader market based on the performance of what it does—and does not—own. For example, the index (and thus the fund) currently contains no stocks in the integrated oils sector, which has been one of the market’s best performers in calendar 2004 because of the soaring price of oil. On the other hand, the fund may outperform the broader market in periods when growth stocks lead value stocks, given the index’s tilt toward technology and health care companies over such value stalwarts as mining companies and heavy manufacturers.

*Fund inception.

A FUND FOR THE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS AND THE COST-CONSCIOUS, TOO

Since the fund’s May 31, 2000, inception, it has averaged an annual return of –6.2%, which is not surprising given that its debut came shortly after the beginning of a lengthy bear market in stocks. The gap in returns between the fund and its target index is less than the fund’s expense ratio, a testament to our indexing team’s skill in tracking the Calvert Social Index. A negative result is of course disappointing; however, during its lifespan the fund has held up better than other large-cap growth funds. A hypothetical initial investment of $10,000 in the fund would have been worth $7,606 on August 31; the same investment in the average peer would have resulted in $1,601 less.

The fund gets a competitive boost from its low operating costs. During fiscal 2004, the fund’s Investor Shares had an expense ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of average net assets) of 0.25%, a fraction of the 1.61% charged by the average large-cap growth fund. Our Institutional Shares enjoyed an even lower expense ratio of 0.12%. (For more on the fund’s expenses, see pages 11 and 12.) Lower costs mean that more of the fund’s investment returns remain where they belong—with you, the shareholder.

MAINTAIN A LONG-TERM OUTLOOK

The fund’s concentration in several sectors means it will zig and zag with the fortunes of those sectors. For that reason, this fund is best held for the long term, allowing the up and down cycles of the stock market to run their course. This approach is consistent with Vanguard’s advice to all shareholders: It’s best to take a balanced, long-term approach to investing, establishing a personal portfolio that includes a mix of stock, bond, and money market funds appropriate for your unique goals, financial circumstances, and risk tolerance. For socially conscious investors seeking the benefits of indexing, Vanguard Calvert Social Index Fund can have a role in such a portfolio.

Sincerely,

John J. Brennan

*These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% 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 fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, or the $10 annual account maintenance fee that applies to accounts under $10,000. These fees are fully

described in the prospectus. If the fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”

SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES, WHICH ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard Calvert Social Index 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 were first issued on January 14, 2003, and are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 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 materially 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. 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.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund, along with other members of The Vanguard Group, may transfer uninvested cash balances to a pooled cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex–dividend date.

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily.

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.

capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2004, the fund had contributed capital of $41,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C. 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.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2004, the fund had $1,945,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $12,834,000 to offset future net capital gains of $57,000 through August 31, 2009, $3,511,000 through August 31, 2010, $5,505,000 through August 31, 2011, $3,200,000 through August 31, 2012, and $561,000 through August 31, 2013.

At August 31, 2004, net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,003,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $28,296,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $32,299,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

D. During the year ended August 31, 2004, the fund purchased $132,612,000 of investment securities and sold $17,828,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.

E. The market value of securities on loan to broker/dealers at August 31, 2004, was $276,000, for which the fund held cash collateral of $344,000. The fund invests cash collateral received in temporary cash investments, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard Calvert Social Index Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Calvert Social Index Fund (the “Fund”) at August 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CAPITALIZE ON YOUR IRA

Are you taking full advantage of your individual retirement account? You really should be. The contribution limits on IRAs were recently raised, making these tax-deferred accounts more powerful options for retirement savers.

Here’s how you can exploit your IRA—and improve your chances of having the retirement of your dreams.

CONTRIBUTE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT EACH YEAR

It may be an obvious point, but if you invest as much in your IRA as the law allows—currently $3,000 per tax year if you are under age 50 and $3,500 if you are age 50 or over—you will increase the odds of meeting your retirement goals. “Max out” every year you can.

MAKE IT AUTOMATIC

Put your IRA on autopilot by taking advantage of Vanguard’s Automatic Investment Plan. Your IRA contributions will be deducted from your bank account on a schedule of your choosing, making retirement investing a healthy habit.

CONSIDER COST

The owners of low-cost investments keep a larger portion of their gross returns than the owners of high-cost investments. Over the long term, avoiding costlier mutual funds and brokerage commissions could significantly boost your retirement savings. Our low costs are one reason a Vanguard IRA® is such a smart choice.

REQUEST A DIRECT ROLLOVER WHEN YOU CHANGE JOBS

Don’t spend your retirement assets before you’ve retired. When you change jobs, roll your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan assets directly into your IRA.

If you have questions about your IRA, want to transfer an IRA from another institution to Vanguard, or need help with any other IRA transaction, call our Retirement Resource Center at 1-800-205-6189 or visit Vanguard.com. You can open or fund your IRA on our website and have a confirmation in your hand within minutes.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

With share classes launched on various dates in the middle of the 2004 fiscal year, the Vanguard U.S. Sector Index Funds met their objectives of closely tracking their target indexes, which meant they had mixed absolute returns. The funds’ Admiral Shares posted returns that ranged from –11.5% to 6.7% during the period ended August 31, 2004. The funds’ exchange-traded VIPER Shares, which were all launched on January 26, 2004, had returns that were even wider in range.

The table below shows the total return (capital change plus reinvested distributions) since inception for each fund’s Admiral Shares, as well as those for the respective target indexes and the Morgan Stanley Capital International US Investable Market 2500 Index (MSCI US IMI/2500), a broad measure of the U.S. stock market. Each of the target indexes are subsets of the MSCI US IMI/2500. The table at right shows returns for the sector index VIPERs.

STOCKS RECEDED SOMEWHAT AFTER FIRST-HALF GAINS

Equity markets here and abroad surged during the first half of the fiscal year, then went through a volatile second-half retreat. However, markets mostly held on to the first-half gains for the full period. The broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the MSCI US IMI/2500, returned 11.7% for the 12 months.

BONDS MIRRORED STOCKS’ RETURNS

DEFENSIVE SECTORS GAINED; OTHERS RETREATED

Measured by their ability to meet their investment objectives, the U.S. Sector Index Funds were uniformly successful. Each fund’s return was in line with that of its target index. Credit goes to our investment advisor, Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group, whose expertise in managing broad index funds has worked equally well with these new sector funds.

Nevertheless, because of the timing of their launches, the funds largely missed out on the broad stock rally that occurred early in the fiscal year. They were in time to hit the market’s soft patch later in the period, however. Depending on the sector and the inception date, the results varied considerably.

The hardest-hit area was information technology, which was the best-performing sector in calendar 2003 but more recently has been in the doghouse. Reflecting the sector’s slump, the Information Technology VIPERs returned –20.1% from their January 26 inception through August 31. (The Admiral Shares of the fund, launched in March, experienced a less severe decline of –11.5%.) In contrast, the funds tracking sectors traditionally viewed as defensive—utilities, materials, and consumer staples—had respectable gains, despite the general downturn in the broader market.

THE ROLE OF SECTOR FUNDS IN A PORTFOLIO

The U.S. Sector Index Funds can be useful and cost-effective tools for investors who wish to moderate risk by diversifying but don’t want to overhaul a whole portfolio. The funds can support simple strategies focused on increasing exposure to underrepresented sectors or more sophisticated and complex approaches to managing risk exposure.

However, as useful as diversification across industry sectors can be, it cannot totally offset a broad market decline. No one should lose sight of the fundamental need to diversify across broad asset classes—stocks, bonds, and short-term investments. Sector funds should only be used in the context of such a balanced plan.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,

John J. Brennan

PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the funds. (For performance current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) 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.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The examples on this page 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 adjacent 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% 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; they do not include the 2% fee assessed on redemptions of Admiral Shares held for less than one year. If the fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. The funds do not carry a “sales load.”

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

The table does not include data for funds or share classes of funds with fewer than six months of history.

These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. Each fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period was 0.28%, for both Admiral and VIPER 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 fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are grouped and subtotaled by asset type (common stocks, bonds, etc.) and by industry sector. Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

Each fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. 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).

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the reporting period. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The amounts shown as Distributions to shareholders from the fund’s net income and capital gains may not match the amounts shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the net amount shareholders invested in or redeemed from the fund. Distributions and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. It also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; how much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard U.S. Sector Index Funds comprise the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Financials, Health Care, Information Technology, Materials, and Utilities Index Funds, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The funds offer two classes of shares, Admiral Shares and VIPER Shares. Admiral Shares were first issued on January 30, 2004, February 4, 2004, February 5, 2004, February 11, 2004, March 25, 2004, and April 28, 2004, by the Consumer Staples, Financials, Health Care, Materials, Information Technology, and Utilities Index Funds, respectively, and are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. The Consumer Discretionary Index Fund has not issued any Admiral Shares through August 31, 2004. VIPER Shares were first issued on January 26, 2004, and first offered to the public on January 30, 2004. VIPER Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 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 materially affected by events occurring before the funds’ 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. 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.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The funds, along with other members of The Vanguard Group, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

3. Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 realized and unrealized 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 each fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2004, the funds had contributed capital to Vanguard (included in Other Assets) of:

Index Fund	Capital Contribution to Vanguard (000)	Percentage of Fund Net Assets	Percentage of Vanguard's Capitalization



Consumer Discretionary	$3	0.02%	--
Consumer Staples	3	0.01	--
Financials	3	0.01	--
Health Care	4	0.01	--
Information Technology	2	0.01	--
Materials	3	0.01	--
Utilities	6	0.01	0.01%

The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

At August 31, 2004, the funds had the following tax-basis amounts available for distribution, and capital losses available to offset future net capital gains:

	Amount Available for Distribution		Capital Losses

Index Fund	Ordinary Income (000)	Long-Term Capital Gain (000)	Amount (000)	Expiration: Fiscal Year Ending August 31,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard Sector Index Funds:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund, Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund, Vanguard Financials Index Fund, Vanguard Health Care Index Fund, Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund, Vanguard Materials Index Fund and Vanguard Utilities Index Fund (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2004, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the period January 26, 2004 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
