A. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the
latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each
security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest
quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or
whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund's pricing time but after the
close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to
procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an
independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events,
and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts,
or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund's pricing time.
When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset
value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard
Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments 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.

B. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the
fund's pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the
securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the
value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as
unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which
time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).

C. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of
maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or
sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio
turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of
futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the
fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. 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. Any securities pledged as initial margin for
open contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Fluctuations in the value of the
contracts are recorded as an asset (liability).

D. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional
counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are he ld by
a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot
be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the
collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its
counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified
counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements
with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a
counterparty's default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements
with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the co llateral up to the net
amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit
the disposition of collateral.

E. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund's investments and derivatives.
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 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund's own assumptions used to determine
the fair value of investments). Any investments and derivatives valued with significant unobservable
inputs are noted on the Schedule of Investments.

The following table summarizes the market value of the fund's investments and derivatives as of
December 31, 2020, based on the inputs used to value them:
