Chairman’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

The final two months of the fiscal half-year ended May 31, 2007, saw bond yields move higher, and prices lower, as inflation concerns stirred. Vanguard New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares returned –0.3%, trailing the result of the benchmark index and the average return of competing New York municipal bond funds. The income portion of the fund’s return was insufficient to offset its decline in share price. The fund’s 3.91% yield for Investor Shares at the end of May represented a slight increase versus six months ago. For investors in the highest income tax bracket, the taxable-equivalent yield rose to 6.46%. Yields for the Admiral Shares were slightly higher.

 

Vanguard New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund posted a 1.8% result and surpassed the average return of its peers. The fund’s yield increased to 3.69%; the taxable equivalent would be 6.09% for investors in the highest income tax bracket. The fund maintained a net asset value of $1 per share, as is expected but not guaranteed.

 

Please note: Although the funds’ income distributions are expected to be exempt from federal and New York state taxes, a portion of these distributions may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. The tax is triggered by holdings of private-activity bonds.

Mixed economic news led to weak bond returns

Over the six months, the yields of longer-term bonds rose faster than those of short-term bonds. This caused the “inverted” yield curve—which had persisted for many months as long-term U.S. Treasury yields remained lower than shorter-term yields—to begin a return to its historical upward-sloping maturity/yield relationship. The Federal Reserve Board’s intimations of concern about the inflation outlook helped to push long-term rates higher. However, the Fed held its target federal funds rate at 5.25% throughout the period.

 

Money market instruments remained a bright spot in the fixed income universe, with the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index—a proxy for taxable money market yields—returning 2.5% for the half-year. The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill fell to 4.7% from its initial 5.0%. The broad taxable bond market returned 0.7% for the period, while municipal bonds posted a return of 0.3%.

 

Stocks were shaken early on but roared back in second half

Despite a short-lived tumble in late February and a cooldown of the domestic economy, the broad U.S. stock market moved solidly upward over the six months. In the first half of the period, the broad market had a modest positive return, but the second half saw a solid advance.

U.S. stocks were buoyed by an unprecedented flurry of merger-and-acquisition activity, particularly within the private-equity sector. Mid-capitalization stocks were the market leaders, outpacing the gains of large- and small-cap issues. As had been the case for well over a year, international stocks outperformed U.S. equities. Emerging markets again produced better gains than the developed markets of Europe and the Pacific.

 

Your fund’s performance reflected market dynamics

Investor demand for municipal bonds continued at a very high level during the fiscal half-year, and states and cities responded with a heavy slate of new issuance. During the first half of the fund’s fiscal year, states and municipalities issued $203.8 billion in bonds, a record pace, as issuers took advantage of low interest rates and strong demand to retire debt issued when interest rates were higher.

 

New buyers have joined individuals and mutual funds in muni bond markets. These include property and casualty insurers, foreign banks, and hedge funds, all of which are pursuing higher yields at the long end of the maturity spectrum.

 

These supply-and-demand dynamics, as well as nascent concerns about the inflation outlook and a seasonal tax effect toward the end of the period, helped produce modestly higher yields (and lower prices) across the maturity spectrum during the six months. (In April and May,

many investors sell some holdings in municipal bond funds to pay their state and federal income tax bills.)

 

The New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund’s –0.3% decline reflected these factors. The fund lagged the result of its benchmark index and the average return of competing New York municipal debt funds. This was partly due to the fund’s positioning among the highest-rated muni bonds. Funds holding weaker-credit bonds have enjoyed a performance advantage of late in an environment that has prized yield over safety.

 

Rising interest rates were a positive for the New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, whose short average maturity enabled it to quickly translate rising rates into higher income. The fund’s return of 1.8% was higher than the average return for its peers, a reflection of disciplined portfolio management and the fund’s low expense ratio. You can see from the table on page 4 that both New York tax-exempt funds enjoyed a wide cost advantage over peer funds—an advantage that accrues to shareholders over time.

 

Your muni fund’s dual role: Providing income and stability

Bonds have a role to play in every investor’s portfolio, and municipal bonds can be an especially attractive option for investors in higher tax brackets. By committing a portion of your assets to the bond market, you gain ballast that helps you ride out storms in the stock market. By committing a portion of your bond portfolio to municipal bonds, you also help protect your returns from the tax collector’s reach. By entrusting your assets to Vanguard, you have selected a partner focused on managing risk, reducing costs, and providing clearly defined portfolios that can be used to build a diversified portfolio suited to your needs.

 

Thank you for investing with Vanguard.

 

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

 

As bond yields moved higher (and prices lower) over the past six months, Vanguard New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned –0.3% for both the Investor and Admiral Shares, modestly trailing both its benchmark and its peer group’s average return. Vanguard New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 1.8%, outpacing its peer-group average.

 

The investment environment

The U.S. economy continued to expand during the past six months, but at a slower pace than that observed 12 months ago. Consumer spending has increased solidly, as rising incomes and improved job prospects have helped to partially mitigate high energy prices, a slumping housing market, and higher short-term interest rates. Consensus expectations point to a continued modest deceleration to below 3% in the annualized growth rate of real gross domestic product.

 

The inflation picture has been mixed, with the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) bumping up against the Federal Reserve Board’s perceived threshold for price stability over the past 12 months. Nevertheless, Fed officials have stressed that long-run inflation expectations, as reflected in the difference between nominal and inflation-adjusted interest rates, remain fairly “contained.” Consequently, consensus expectations suggest that core CPI inflation will gradually decelerate toward 2%, from the 2.7% rate of the past 12 months.

Consistent with its inflation assessment, the Federal Reserve has left the target for the federal funds rate unchanged at 5.25% since June 2006.

 

Interest rates moved higher

During the past six months, bond yields rose across all maturities, though the increase among short-term bonds was relatively modest. These interest rate dynamics flattened what had previously been an inverted U.S. Treasury yield curve, an unusual situation in which short-term bonds yield more than long-term securities. At the end of the period, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was in line with that of the 2-year note, a relationship that is consistent with expectations for a neutral interest rate policy for the Federal Reserve.

 

On balance, Treasury bonds outperformed municipal securities during the six months, though the longest-term municipal bonds outperformed their Treasury counterparts.

 

During the past six months, states and municipalities brought $203.8 billion in new debt to market—a record pace and a 23% increase from the same period a year ago. Borrowers took advantage of dips in interest rates during December and March to issue $47.8 billion in securities that will be used to retire existing, higher-cost debt. The national pattern was evident in the New York market. State and municipal issues totaled $17.0 billion through the first six months of the funds’ 2007 fiscal year, a 25.9% increase over a year ago.

 

Management of the funds

The performance of Vanguard New York Tax-Exempt Money Market and Long-Term Tax-Exempt Funds reflected the increase in rates during the past six months. The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 1.8% as its yield rose from 3.47% at the beginning of the period to 3.69% at the end. We kept the fund’s average maturity at the short end of its typical range, which allows the fund to accelerate the reinvestment of maturing securities at higher rates.

 

The Long-Term Fund produced a slightly negative return. The fund’s income return over the six months was offset by a negative capital return, as rising rates depressed its share price. The fund’s yield rose to 3.91% (3.98% for Admiral Shares), from 3.69% (3.76%) at the beginning of the period. We kept the fund’s duration—a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes—near the midpoint of its typical range, a position consistent with our expectation for relatively stable longer-term rates.

As always, security selection reflected the funds’ high-quality focus. Our funds’ expense advantage gives us an opportunity to provide an attractive and superior tax-exempt dividend without stretching for yield among lower-quality securities or assuming undue portfolio market risk. The near-term “cost” of this quality bias seems especially small today. Tax-exempt quality spreads have collapsed since late 2003, as the economy has firmed and memories of credit disasters (California’s fiscal crisis, Enron, the post-stock-market-bubble telecom blowups) have faded.

 

Over time, we expect our funds’ combination of low costs, prudent management, and bias toward high-quality issues to produce more-than-competitive returns, without subjecting shareholder capital to the significant risks lurking in the lower-rated tiers of the municipal bond market.

 

Please note: The U.S. Supreme Court recently agreed to hear a case that challenges the states’ conventional practice of providing different tax treatment for in-state and out-of-state municipal bonds. We don’t expect a ruling until winter 2007 or spring 2008, but we are continuing to monitor the issue and its potential impact on municipal bond portfolios. The case is not expected to affect the federal tax exemption available for interest earned on municipal bonds.

New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in debt instruments of many municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of New York.

 

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

 

1. Security Valuation: Investment securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

 

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

 

3. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.

 

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

 

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At May 31, 2007, the fund had contributed capital of $437,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.44% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

C. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Performance Summary

 

All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Vanguard New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of New York. 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.

 

1. Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been 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.

 

2. Futures Contracts: The fund may use Municipal Bond Index, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note futures contracts, with the objectives of enhancing returns, managing interest rate risk, maintaining liquidity, diversifying credit risk, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts and the underlying bonds. The fund may also seek to take advantage of price differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another sector. Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested position in the underlying bonds while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

 

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

 

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

 

4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

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

 

 

44

New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

 

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

 

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At May 31, 2007, the fund had contributed capital of $233,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.23% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

 

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

 

The fund had realized losses totaling $802,000 through November 30, 2006, which are deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of unrealized appreciation on investment securities for tax purposes.

 

At May 31, 2007, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,554,668,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $52,905,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $63,094,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $10,189,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

 

At May 31, 2007, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in September 2007 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

D. During the six months ended May 31, 2007, the fund purchased $182,123,000 of investment securities and sold $71,364,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

 

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

 

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

 

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

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, 0.10%; for the New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Investor Shares, 0.15%, and Admiral Shares, 0.08%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

 

47

Note that the expenses shown in the table on page 47 are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a 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.”

 

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

 

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

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

 

The board of trustees of Vanguard New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard New York Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

 

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

 

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management over both short- and long-term periods, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than two decades. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985. Robert F. Auwaerter, principal in charge of the Fixed Income Group, has been in the investment management business since 1978. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

 

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

 

Investment performance

The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board concluded that the funds have performed in line with expectations, and that their results have been consistent with their investment strategies. Information about the funds’ most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary sections of this report.

 

Cost

The board concluded that the funds’ expense ratios were far below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups. Each fund’s advisory expense ratio was also well below its peer-group average. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.

 

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

 

The benefit of economies of scale

The board concluded that the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

 

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

Glossary

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers and MIG-1, A-1+, SP-1+, and F-1+ indicating the most creditworthy issuers of money market securities.

 

Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.

 

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

 

Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days (7 days for money market funds) and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.

 

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

The People Who Govern Your Fund

 

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

 

A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.

 

Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.

 

Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
