Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance

• For the 12 months ended November 30, 2016, Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund returned 1.06% for Investor Shares and 1.16% for Admiral Shares. Those results exceeded the 0.69% average return for peers but lagged the 1.39% return for the Bloomberg Barclays New Jersey Municipal Bond Index. Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.24%; the average return of its peers was 0.08%.

• Overall municipal bond supply, which ran high at times, was matched for much of the fiscal year by solid demand from investors.

• Slightly longer duration and an underweighted allocation to A-rated bonds relative to the benchmark index detracted from performance.

• For the ten years ended November 30, the Long-Term Fund’s annualized return exceeded the average return of peers but slightly trailed the benchmark index. The Money Market Fund beat the average return of its peers for the decade.

Chairman’s Perspective


Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

If you’re like most investors, a big question on your mind is: What’s in store for the markets and the economy in 2017?

At Vanguard, we’re just as curious about the immediate future. But our curiosity is tempered by our belief that forecasts should give a range of possible outcomes, not pinpoint predictions. After all, there are bound to be occurrences the experts won’t see coming.

What really matters for investors

In 2016, we saw two cases in point: The United Kingdom’s June vote to exit the European Union and the November election of Donald Trump as U.S. president. Both unexpected outcomes triggered swift market reactions. But despite some short-term volatility, the markets’ 12-month performance as of November 30, 2016, proved to be less dramatic. U.S. stocks and bonds posted returns close to their long-term averages. International stocks and bonds also advanced, although returns for U.S. investors were reduced by the strength of the U.S. dollar.

The surprises of 2016 remind us to be skeptical of overly precise short-term predictions about 2017. At the cusp of a new year, market prognosticators forecast where the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index or the yield on the 10-year Treasury note will end up in 12 months. Such predictions can be attention-getting. They can also be dead wrong.

Investors are better off taking note of long-term trends that stand to influence our economies and markets. We’re watching these trends closely, and we discuss our latest assessment in our 2017 economic and market outlook, which you can read at vanguard.com/research.

Our global economic outlook: Expect stabilization, not stagnation

One phenomenon in particular that we’re watching is the low-growth, low-interest-rate environment that has marked the global economy since the 2008–09 financial crisis. We don’t think this economic backdrop is simply the result of cyclically weak demand or long-term stagnation. Instead, certain structural forces are contributing: Falling technology costs are restraining the amounts businesses are spending on

capital investment, an aging population is weighing on growth in the developed world, and the free movement of capital and products across the globe has restrained prices and wages.

In the near term, these forces will continue to dampen growth, inflation, and interest rates. They also make it unlikely that further monetary stimulus from central banks will do much to spur growth.

I realize this all may sound gloomy, but that’s not how we see it. We expect global growth to stabilize at more modest levels, not stagnate. The world isn’t headed for Japanese-style deflation, in which a widespread sustained drop in prices puts economic activity into hibernation.

In fact, we believe that global growth could pick up modestly over time. Our expectation is based on a potential rebound in productivity as new digital technologies are used more effectively. We also anticipate a slight recovery in the labor force as the baby boom generation finishes its transition to retirement, nudging up demand for workers.

Put expansion in perspective

Looking to the United States, the world’s largest economy remains firmly on a long-term-growth path of about 2% per year. That’s lower than the historical average of 3.25% since 1950. We see such growth at this level as fundamentally sound, rather than abnormally low. Our evaluation takes into account lower U.S. population growth

and the reality that the economic expansion from the 1980s until the financial crisis was fueled by debt, distorting the numbers.

Turning to prices, we think that core U.S. inflation should modestly exceed 2% in 2017. That, in turn, will support further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, similar to the one at the end of 2016.

We expect the Fed to raise rates in 2017 before taking an extended pause, and we see the federal funds rate staying below 2% through at least 2018.

Prepare for muted returns

And what about prospects for the markets? Vanguard’s outlook for global stocks and bonds remains the most guarded in ten years, given fairly high stock valuations

Expect more modest returns, rely on time-tested principles
 
In Vanguard’s economic and market outlook for 2017, Global Chief Economist Joseph Davis
and his team offer a projection of more modest returns from the global stock and bond
markets. They caution that, over the next decade, returns for a balanced portfolio are likely
to be moderately below long-run historical averages.
 
The team’s simulations indicate that for the decade ending in 2026, the average annualized
return of a 60% stock/40% bond portfolio is likely to be centered in the 3%–5% range after
inflation. That’s below the actual average after-inflation return of 6% for the same portfolio
for the nine decades since 1926.
 
Ultimately, our global market outlook points toward a somewhat more challenging environment,
yet one in which, over time, investors with an appropriate level of discipline, diversification, and
patience are likely to be rewarded with reasonable inflation-adjusted returns.
 
For more information about our expectations and the probability of various outcomes, see 2017
Economic and Market Outlook: Stabilization, Not Stagnation, available at vanguard.com/research.

 

IMPORTANT: The projections and other information generated by the Vanguard Capital Markets Model® (VCMM) regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. Distribution of return outcomes from the VCMM are derived from 10,000 simulations for each modeled asset class. Simulations as of September 30, 2016.

and the low-interest-rate environment. We don’t expect global bond yields to increase materially from year-end 2016 levels.

Our outlook for global equities is annualized returns of 5%–8% over the next decade. This outlook isn’t bearish, but is actually fairly positive when you take into account the current low-rate environment. (See the box on page 5 for more.)

Focus on the four keys to investment success

Significant trends often happen gradually. Like shifting tides, they’re sometimes barely noticeable at first but ultimately can change the landscape entirely. Other times, apparent trends can end up receding before they have much of a long-term impact. Given the future’s inherent unpredictability, it’s not reasonable to expect a surefire block-buster revelation from any prognosticator or investment firm.

What to conclude, then? No matter what scenario plays out, we believe investors have the best chance for success if they stay focused on what they can control: their goals, asset allocation, and investment costs, along with the discipline to stick to a plan. As Tim Buckley, our chief investment officer, likes to say, this can be easy to say but harder to do, especially in times of uncertainty. Investors who can stay focused on those four keys will find themselves well-positioned to weather any market.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
December 12, 2016

IMPORTANT: The projections and other information generated by the Vanguard Capital Markets Model regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. VCMM results will vary with each use and over time.

The VCMM projections are based on a statistical analysis of historical data. Future returns may behave differently from the historical patterns captured in the VCMM. More important, the VCMM may be underestimating extreme negative scenarios unobserved in the historical period on which the model estimation is based.

The VCMM is a proprietary financial simulation tool developed and maintained by Vanguard’s Investment Strategy Group. The model forecasts distributions of future returns for a wide array of broad asset classes. Those asset classes include U.S. and international equity markets, several maturities of the U.S. Treasury and corporate fixed income markets, international fixed income markets, U.S. money markets, commodities, and certain alternative investment strategies. The theoretical and empirical foundation for the Vanguard Capital Markets Model is that the returns of various asset classes reflect the compensation investors require for bearing different types of systematic risk (beta). At the core of the model are estimates of the dynamic statistical relationship between risk factors and asset returns, obtained from statistical analysis based on available monthly financial and economic data. Using a system of estimated equations, the model then applies a Monte Carlo simulation method to project the estimated interrelationships among risk factors and asset classes as well as uncertainty and randomness over time. The model generates a large set of simulated outcomes for each asset class over several time horizons. Forecasts are obtained by computing measures of central tendency in these simulations. Results produced by the tool will vary with each use and over time.

Advisor’s Report

For the 12 months ended November 30, 2016, Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax Exempt Fund returned 1.06% for Investor Shares and 1.16% for Admiral Shares. Those results lagged the 1.39% return of the Bloomberg Barclays New Jersey Municipal Bond Index but exceeded the average 0.69% return of the fund’s peers and the –0.22% return of the broad Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund returned 0.24%; the average return of its peers was 0.08%.

As municipal bond prices fell toward the end of the period, the Long-Term Fund’s 30-day SEC yield increased to 2.87% from 2.78% for Investor Shares and to 2.99% from 2.85% for Admiral Shares for the fiscal year.

Please note: The funds are permitted to invest in bonds that would generate income distributions subject to the alternative minimum tax. At the close of the fiscal year, however, only the Money Market Fund owned such bonds.

The investment environment

Overall municipal bond supply, which ran high at times, was matched for much of the fiscal year by solid demand from investors reaching for yield. That demand later began to wane, however, and then dropped markedly after the U.S. presidential election as the markets began to anticipate faster growth and higher inflation. U.S. Treasury yields rose and prices fell into negative territory, which reduced total returns to about 1% for the

12 months. Municipal bonds as a whole saw even sharper movements and ended the period with a slightly negative return.

The Federal Reserve held to a slow and steady course toward normalizing monetary policy. In December 2015, for the first time in a decade, it increased the target range for the federal funds rate, bumping it to 0.25%–0.50% from near zero. The Fed cited considerable improvement in the labor market and its confidence that inflation would rise to its 2% objective. But market expectations for further hikes

were dampened in early 2016 by steep declines in commodity prices and weak economic growth, especially in China, and then in June by the uncertainty sparked by the Brexit vote.

At the end of summer, however, the financial markets recovered, economic data improved, and investors began anticipating another rate hike at the Fed’s December meeting. The U.S. economy posted weak results early in the funds’ fiscal year but showed a little more steam in the third quarter of 2016, growing 3.2%.

Money market reform: What’s changed and what hasn’t
 
The final phase of money market reform took effect on October 14, 2016, the compliance
date for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new rules designed to enhance the
stability and resilience of all money market funds.
 
Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund’s goal remains to provide the
stability that shareholders have come to expect. The fund qualifies as a retail fund, which
means it will seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share. (Institutional money
market funds, which have floating share prices, are not offered by Vanguard.)
 
Under the new rules, we report the fund’s weekly liquid assets, daily market value to
four decimal places, and daily net shareholder cash flow. (See your fund’s Portfolio &
Management tab on vanguard.com.)
 
Two other changes involve liquidity fees and redemption “gates,” tools to help keep funds
stable during times of extreme market duress.
 
A fee of up to 2% may be imposed by the fund’s board on the sale of shares if the fund’s
weekly liquid assets fall below specified thresholds of its total assets. (The SEC has strict
definitions for “liquid” assets; generally this refers to assets that can be sold in the normal
course of business with little impact on their price.) The fee would reduce the dollar amount
you receive for your redemption.
 
A gate is a temporary suspension of redemptions. The board may impose either fees or
gates or both. Please note that we manage our funds conservatively and seek to maintain
liquidity above the levels at which fees or gates would be imposed. You can learn more in
the prospectus, available at vanguard.com.

Employment gains averaging around 180,000 per month for the year pushed the unemployment rate down to 4.6% in November, and wages trended modestly higher. Along with a rebound in commodity prices, these factors helped nudge inflation closer to the Fed’s 2% objective.

New Jersey’s unemployment rate increased above the national average to 5.2% in October, the most recent month available, from 4.8% at the beginning of the period. In addition, its economy grew at a slower pace than that of the United States as a whole, according to a gauge of current economic conditions published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

We continue to closely monitor the state’s finances as it contends with unfunded pension obligations and longstanding structural budget imbalances. In November, New Jersey voters approved a constitutional amendment dedicating all gas tax revenues to transportation funding, including a new 23 cents-per-gallon tax increase. This came on the heels of a state Supreme Court decision to uphold a freeze in cost-of-living adjustments for retired state workers. We viewed the court’s decision as credit-positive for the state. However, coinciding with the passage of the gas tax were tax cuts to be phased in over time. Those cuts should further pressure the state’s general fund.

The distressed municipality of Atlantic City remains a focus of concern. We believe the city, which is now under state control, will not declare bankruptcy because of the wide-ranging effects such an event would have on other local government bonds. We anticipate that the city will continue to make its debt service payments.

After the close of the reporting period, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the state’s bonds to A– from A, continuing a series of downgrades by each of the major ratings agencies since 2010.

Management of the funds

Our investment process at Vanguard relies on risk management as we strive to add value through a diversified mix of strategies that include duration, yield-curve positioning, credit-quality decisions, and security selection. Vanguard’s experienced team of credit analysts perform an objective, complete, and independent analysis of the overall creditworthiness of every issuer of bonds we own or consider owning. The Long-Term Fund benefited from exposure to lower-quality (but still investment-grade) bonds, especially from its strong selection of A-rated bonds that performed well. Both the fund and the benchmark index have significant exposure to lower-quality investment-grade bonds, in part because of financial woes at the state and local level that have triggered downgrades. Although the fund generated strong absolute performance from its A-rated holdings, the benchmark’s higher allocation to these bonds led to greater returns.

Slightly longer duration relative to the benchmark index and an overweighted allocation to longer-maturity bonds also detracted. In addition, we continued to

9

 

underweight state-backed bonds given New Jersey’s fiscal health. Although we stand by that long-term position, it held back the fund because the bonds performed well as investors sought them out for their yields.

In the Money Market Fund, we maintained high levels of liquidity and a short weighted average maturity ahead of the final implementation of the money market reforms we’ve discussed previously. That positioning allowed us to take advantage of the increase in yields on money market-eligible securities and, along with our low expense ratio compared to peers, helped us outperform for the period.

Please note that in the first quarter of 2017, Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund will change its name to Vanguard New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund. The fund’s board decided to change the name to provide additional cash management flexibility. The investment objective and limitations of the fund will remain the same, including the 20% limitation on investments in securities subject to the alternative minimum tax.

A look ahead

After the close of the period, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points to a range of 0.5%–0.75% and hinted that there may be three additional hikes in 2017. This aligns with our expectations that it will gradually raise rates in 2017 but leave the federal funds rate below 2% through at least 2018. The pace of future rate hikes is likely to depend on economic growth. Although

U.S. growth and inflation may exceed expectations for the first time in five years, we anticipate that any increases will be modest, especially compared with prior periods of economic recovery.

The dollar will likely remain strong as long as central banks such as the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank continue to maintain the accommodative monetary stances that have produced negative interest rates in those regions. In the United States, we believe that the Fed is likely to continue its dovish tightening over the next several years.

Of course, market conditions could change, especially given the results of the U.S. presidential election and the possibility that job growth and inflation could exceed expectations. But we are confident that our team of experienced managers, analysts, and traders can handle whatever the market brings and find opportunities that will produce competitive returns.

Performance Summary

Investment returns will fluctuate. 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 vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. The fund is only available to retail investors (natural persons). You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

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, 2013–2016), 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 November 30, 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.

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 November 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $92,000, 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 year ended November 30, 2016, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $269,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.02% 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 November 30, 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. The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Act of 1940. For the year ended November 30, 2016, such purchases and sales were $402,315,000 and $464,980,000 respectively.

E. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2016, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 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. 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 year ended November 30, 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 November 30, 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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

55

 

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 November 30, 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 November 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $162,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.06% 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 November 30, 2016,
based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Tax-Exempt Municipal Bonds 1,936,847
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (63)
Total (63) 1,936,847
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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $1,315,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at November 30, 2016, the fund had short-term and long-term capital gains of $31,000 and $15,999,000, respectively, available for distribution. Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes.

At November 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,932,649,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,198,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $47,166,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $42,968,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended November 30, 2016, the fund purchased $455,648,000 of investment securities and sold $368,134,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the year ended November 30, 2016, such purchases and sales were $293,585,000 and $362,445,000 respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

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 New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund (constituting Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Free Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at November 30, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their 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 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). Those standards 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 November 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

Admiral Shares 1,000.00 1,024.70 0.30

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, 0.16%; and for the New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, 0.18% for Investor Shares and 0.06% 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 six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/366).

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. 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.

62

 

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. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
