Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

The broad U.S. municipal bond market returned more than 3% for the six months ended May 31, 2016. New Jersey’s tax-exempt bond market fared even better, returning nearly 5%—a turnabout from the prior fiscal year, when New Jersey lagged the national index.

Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 4.83% for Investor Shares and 4.88% for Admiral Shares. This result was in line with that of its state-specific benchmark (which of course incurs no expenses) and about a percentage point ahead of the average return of its peer group. Well more than half of the fund’s total return came from higher prices for its bond holdings.

As bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, the fund’s 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares dropped about half a percentage point, from 2.78% at the end of November to 2.26% at the end of May. At the other end of the maturity spectrum, short-term yields rose—but with a lag—after the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increase.

Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund’s month-end yield remained at 0.01% from November through February before rising by the end of the period to 0.26%—a level not seen since 2009. The fund’s six-month return inched up to 0.05%; the average return of other state tax-exempt money market funds was 0.01%.

Please note that although the funds are permitted to invest in securities whose income is subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), during the half year the Long-Term Fund held no securities that would generate income distributions subject to the AMT. The Money Market Fund did hold such securities during the period and on May 31.

Before discussing the markets, I wanted to give you a brief update on money market reform. As I’ve mentioned, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted core reforms that will take effect in October. Their impact on the Money Market Fund will be minimal. All of Vanguard’s tax-exempt money market funds, including the New Jersey fund, will be designated as retail funds and will continue to seek to maintain a stable share price of $1.

Bonds enjoyed a strong ride after some early weakness

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 3.12% for the half year, behind the broad tax-exempt market. After dipping in December, taxable bonds climbed. The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note closed at 1.85% at the end of May, down from 2.22% six months earlier.

The period began with the Fed’s long-anticipated but small increase in short-term interest rates. Through the succeeding months, mixed signals from Fed officials—

as well as from global economic data—created uncertainty about when the next increase might occur.

Money market funds and savings accounts produced limited returns as the Fed’s target rate of 0.25%–0.5% remained historically low, despite the quarter-percentage-point rise in December.

International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned more than 9%. In a reversal from the trend of recent years, many foreign currencies strengthened against the dollar, boosting international bond returns for U.S. investors. Even without this currency benefit, internatio27nal bond returns were solidly positive.

In a tale of two halves, stocks fell and then rose

U.S. stocks advanced about 1% for the six months. Equities retreated over the period’s first three months before rebounding, partly as a sharp recovery in oil prices seemed to alleviate fears of a global economic slowdown.

International stocks fared worse than their U.S. counterparts, returning about –1%. Emerging-market stocks rose a bit, while stocks from the developed markets of Europe and the Pacific region declined. European stocks lagged amid investor anxiety in the lead-up to the United Kingdom’s June vote on whether to remain in the European Union.

The fund expense ratios shown are from the prospectus dated March 29, 2016, and represent estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For
the six months ended May 31, 2016, the funds’ annualized expense ratios were: for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, 0.12%;
and for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.20% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. The six-month expense ratio
for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund reflects a temporary reduction in operating expenses (described in Note B of the Notes
to Financial Statements). Before this reduction, the fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio was 0.16%. Peer-group expense ratios are
derived from data provided by Lipper, a Thomson Reuters Company, and capture information through year-end 2015.

based on net operating expenses after reimbursement and/or fee waivers by fund sponsors. In contrast, the Vanguard money market funds’
expense ratios in the table above do not reflect expense reductions.

The quest for yield boosted returns of longer-dated bonds

Through May, the broad municipal bond market posted 11 consecutive monthly gains. This strong performance reflected some factors shared with taxable bonds and some factors specific to the tax-exempt market.

The potential upside of rising rates
 
Bond fund investors may wonder about the effect of rising interest rates on bond prices—
even though the Federal Reserve has raised rates more slowly than anticipated.
 
Initially, as interest rates go up, the market value of bonds in a portfolio will decline, bringing
their yields closer to those of newer issues. However, the opportunity to reinvest cash flow
into higher-yielding bonds over time can benefit investors who can wait.
 
Consider a hypothetical example of an intermediate-term investment-grade taxable bond fund
yielding 2.25%. Assume rates rise by a quarter of a percentage point every January and July
from 2016 through 2019, ending at 4.25%. Although the cumulative total return would decline
initially, by mid-2023, it would be higher than if rates hadn’t changed. The bond math would be
similar for municipal bonds. Of course, the pace and magnitude of rate increases would affect
the time until breakeven.
 
The silver lining of higher yields
Cumulative rate of return

Notes: This hypothetical example shows the impact on a generic, taxable intermediate-term bond fund if the Federal Reserve raised
short-term interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point every January and July from 2016 through 2019. Intermediate-term rates
are assumed to rise by the same amount. The bond fund has a duration of 5.5 years. (Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of
bond—and bond mutual fund—prices to interest rate movements.)

Investors often turn to the relative safety of higher-quality bonds during periods of uncertainty and stock-market distress. This was especially evident in January, when many U.S. and international stock markets fell into or near bear-market territory, in part because of concerns about global economic growth. (A decline of 20% or more lasting at least two months generally qualifies as a bear market for stocks.)

Both the broad taxable and tax-exempt bond markets returned more than 1% in January, their best monthly result of the half year. And as negative interest rates became more common in Europe and Japan during the period, international buyers sought the positive yields on both taxable and tax-exempt U.S. bonds.

In addition, municipal bonds benefited from favorable supply-and-demand trends. Nationwide, the dollar volume of municipal bonds issued during the fiscal half year was lower than in the same period a year ago. Demand was robust, and not only for a safe harbor. The higher yields offered on longer-term bonds attracted investors—especially amid a subdued outlook for inflation (with oil prices still relatively low) and muted expectations of further rate hikes. (Although rising interest rates can hurt bond prices in the near term, they can offer long-term upside, as we explain in the box on page 5.)

New Jersey municipal bonds were lifted by this generally rising tide. The state continues to face fiscal challenges, but investors seemed to take some comfort that overall conditions were relatively stable.

In the Long-Term Fund, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, the advisor, positioned the fund for a flatter yield curve by overweighting bonds that mature past 10 years. The advisor also favored bonds rated single-A and BBB, for their higher yields. This strategy was successful again, as it was in the previous fiscal year.

The ongoing financial struggles of Atlantic City and Puerto Rico remained in the headlines. At the end of May, the Money Market Fund held no Atlantic City debt, and the Long-Term Fund had minimal exposure to Atlantic City general obligation bonds. Neither fund had any credit exposure to Puerto Rico, whose debt relief negotiations are ongoing. (Because the commonwealth’s bonds are exempt from federal, state, and local income tax, they often appear in state and national muni bond funds. The Long-Term Fund held one Puerto Rican bond, but it is escrowed to maturity.)

Consider rebalancing to manage your risk

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

6

 

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

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

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

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

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

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

For the six months ended May 31, 2016, Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.05%, just ahead of the average return of peer funds. Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 4.83% for Investor Shares and 4.88% for Admiral Shares, in line with the 4.86% return of its benchmark (the Barclays New Jersey Municipal Bond Index) and about one percentage point ahead of the average return of its peers.

The investment environment

As the fiscal year began, the market expected that the Federal Reserve would start raising interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. Two weeks later, the Fed did raise the federal funds target range by a quarter percentage point, to 0.25%–0.5%. The Fed cited considerable improvement in labor market conditions and reasonable confidence that inflation would rise over the medium term to the Fed’s 2% objective. Future rate hikes were expected to be gradual, and the Fed reaffirmed its data-dependent stance.

A global growth scare and steep declines in commodity prices early in 2016, however, ran contrary to expectations and triggered a large risk-off move in global financial markets. The Fed began to sound less eager to raise rates as it evaluated how deteriorating economic conditions abroad might impede the United States from reaching the central bank’s employment and inflation targets.

In 2015, the U.S. economy grew 1.4% in the fourth quarter, bringing growth to 2.4% for the year. In 2016, for the third consecutive year, the economy got off to a weak start, this time with 0.8% growth in the first quarter. The still-strong U.S. dollar, combined with weaker global economic and financial conditions overall,

is believed to be behind the slowdown. But we expect growth to return to about 2% over the coming year.

The employment picture also weakened this spring. After increasing at an average rate of well over 200,000 jobs per month in December through March, nonfarm payrolls grew by about 123,000 in April and only 38,000 in May. The national unemployment rate fell to 4.7% in May as the supply of workers seeking jobs shrank. Meanwhile, inflation was fairly steady, with core inflation rising from 2.0% last November to 2.2% in May.

As negative interest rates spread across Europe and the Bank of Japan surprised markets in late January by introducing a negative-rate policy for certain deposits, U.S. bonds fared well. Investors also sought higher-quality bonds as a safe harbor from stock market volatility. For the six months, the broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 3.12%, and the Barclays US Treasury Index returned 2.92%.

Treasury yields generally rose in anticipation of the Fed’s December rate increase, closing out December above November levels. Except for the shortest maturities, yields then fell as prospects for global growth and inflation dimmed. With short-term rates inching up, the yield curve (the difference between the yield of the 30-year and 1-year Treasuries) flattened. At the end of May, the yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note stood at 1.85%, down from 2.22% at the end of November.

The Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 3.42% for the period—half a percentage point more than the broad Treasury index. Long-term munis delivered some of the most notable outperformance. Part of munis’ strength came from robust demand; in 2016, municipal bond funds industrywide have experienced net cash inflows every week through May. Improving credit quality across much of the municipal market supported demand. Lighter supply also helped: Nationwide, tax-exempt bond issuance in the first five months of 2016 was nearly 8% below year-ago levels.

Bonds issued by borrowers in New Jersey enjoyed strong demand that helped absorb an increase in issuance above last year’s relatively low base. There were no new credit rating downgrades of the state’s general obligation bonds.

In early June, after the close of the reporting period, the state Supreme Court voted to uphold the freeze in cost-of-living adjustments for retired workers that was part of a 2011 law aimed at addressing the state’s unfunded pension obligations. We view this decision as credit-positive for the state, although long-standing structural budget imbalances and pension-funding challenges persist.

Management of the funds

An allocation to bonds with longer maturities than those in the benchmark served the Long-Term Fund well, but we pulled back to a more neutral stance as valuations at the short end of the yield curve normalized and expectations for a slower Fed rate-hike cycle grew.

9

 

Being overweighted in some lower-rated (but still investment-grade) bonds helped as investors’ reach for yield continued. So did favoring sectors that tend to offer wider credit spreads. They included health care and university revenue bonds. We continued to overweight premium callable bonds, which outperformed. They will remain a core strategy for us, as they would provide some protection to the fund if rates were to rise sharply.

As in the recent past, we underweighted state-backed bonds. This modestly held back our performance because investors looking for yield opportunities sought such bonds, which lifted their prices and tightened credit spreads.

A look ahead

Interest rates are likely to remain range-bound for some time, with the U.S. growth pace determining how low they can go and weakness in the global economy capping how high they can rise. Given that future Fed hikes remain dependent on economic data at home and abroad, rate volatility may remain elevated. The above-average liquidity levels in our New Jersey funds should position us to take advantage of any buying opportunities that arise from such dislocation.

The Fed left interest rates unchanged at its May meeting and seems on track to continue tightening at a much slower pace than in previous cycles. That slower pace, and possibly a lower terminal short-term interest rate, would most likely keep municipal rates below what we’ve seen over the past ten to 15 years.

We are starting the second half of the fiscal year more neutral on duration and yield-curve positioning but will make tactical adjustments as seasonal opportunities arise.

On the money market front, as previously reported, we plan to designate the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund as a retail fund, along with all our national and state-specific tax-exempt money market funds—giving investors continued access to these stable-value offerings.

As always, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will seek to add value to the portfolios through security selection by identifying bonds that are mispriced by the market.

A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for
debt obligations by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's,
Fitch, and S&P. For securities rated by all three agencies, where two of them are in agreement and assign the highest rating

New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard New Jersey 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 municipal issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the state.

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2012–2015), and for the period ended May 31, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

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

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.

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

24

 

New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $107,000, 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 employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

Vanguard and the board of trustees have agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield in order to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time. For the period ended May 31, 2016, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $269,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.04% of the fund’s average net assets); the fund is not obligated to repay this amount to Vanguard.

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

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

At May 31, 2016, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

D. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2016, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may
serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts. For more information about these ratings, see
the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard New Jersey 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. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.

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

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

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

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

During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at May 31, 2016.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2012–2015), and for the period ended May 31, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

54

 

New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund

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

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

6. 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.

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

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

Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $173,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.07% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

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

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

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

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Tax-Exempt Municipal Bonds 2,097,061
Futures Contracts—Assets1 11
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (54)
Total (43) 2,097,061
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period for recently closed futures contracts.

 

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

At May 31, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,970,415,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $126,646,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $132,548,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,902,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the six months ended May 31, 2016, the fund purchased $193,424,000 of investment securities and sold $86,760,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that
period are: for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, 0.12%; and for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.20% for
Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. (The six-month expense ratio for the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund reflects a
temporary reduction in operating expenses, described in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements. Before the reduction, the fund’s
annualized six-month expense ratio was 0.16%.) 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 (183/366).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements

The board of trustees of Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard)—through its Fixed Income Group. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services

The board reviewed the quality of each fund’s investment management services over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board considered that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.

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

Investment performance

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

Cost

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

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 each fund’s at-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.

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

Glossary

7-Day SEC Yield and 30-Day SEC Yield. A money market fund’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For other funds, 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

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

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

Average Stated Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid using the maturity date of the security. 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 stated maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.

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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.

Credit Quality. For Vanguard money market funds, the Distribution by Credit Quality table includes tier ratings for consistency with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds. A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations by the requisite nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. For securities rated by all three agencies, where two of them are in agreement and assign the highest rating category, the highest rating applies. If a security is only rated by two agencies, and their ratings are in different categories, the lower of the ratings applies. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. A Second Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and is not a First Tier security. For Vanguard tax-exempt bond funds, credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is used. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.

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

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

R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

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

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

The People Who Govern Your Fund

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

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

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