Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

While longer-term interest rates jumped during the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, because of uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve might start scaling back its stimulus efforts, shorter-term bond yields remained exceptionally low. Consequently, money market returns remained paper thin. Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.02% for Investor Shares and 0.07% for Institutional Shares, which have a lower expense ratio. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 0.01% and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund returned 0.02%. Although it’s of little comfort, the funds managed to do better than the average return of their peer groups, which in each case was 0.00%.

As of August 31, the Prime Money Market Fund’s 7-day SEC yield had slipped to 0.01% from 0.04% a year earlier for Investor Shares and to 0.04% from 0.11% for Institutional Shares. At the end of the period, the 7-day SEC yield was 0.02% for the Federal Money Market Fund and 0.01% for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund. (These two funds have been closed to new investors since 2009.)

On a separate note, the Securities and Exchange Commission proposed a number of regulatory changes for money market funds in June. Vanguard has been active in working with the SEC and other

agencies to preserve these funds’ time-tested benefits. We will continue to take the lead in advocating for the value we see in these funds for our shareholders and their portfolios.

Bond returns turned negative amid worry about the Fed’s next move
Bonds, which maintained slightly positive returns overall through the first eight months of the period, reversed course in May and then continued to retreat as investors anticipated reductions in the Fed’s bond-buying program.

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –2.47% for the 12 months. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note finished at 2.76%, up from 1.56% at the end of August 2012. Municipal bonds suffered more, returning –3.70% for the fiscal year.

Stocks posted robust results despite setbacks at the finish
U.S. stocks advanced about 20% in the 12 months ended August 31 despite slipping in June and August. Through most of the fiscal year, stocks surged as the economy continued to show modest growth and investors appeared more receptive to risk.

Much of the market’s recent weakness was linked to concerns over monetary policy. Heightened strife in the Middle East also contributed to anxiety in the global markets.

International stocks in aggregate finished with a return of about 13%. Developed markets in the Pacific region and Europe posted results closer to those of the United States. Returns for emerging-market stocks were virtually flat as economic growth slowed in China and Brazil.

Although global economic worries and tensions over conflicts abroad have unsettled markets, Jonathan Lemco, a senior sovereign debt analyst in Vanguard’s Taxable Credit Research Group, pointed out that investors can still manage risks amid international instability. “Vanguard believes a diversified portfolio is the best way to spread the risk of geopolitical uncertainty,” he said.

Longer-term rates driven higher, while shorter-term rates stayed low
With growth remaining sluggish and unemployment high, the Federal Reserve continued to provide unprecedented stimulus to the economy throughout the period. Its efforts included buying $40 billion per month of mortgage bonds to support the housing market and $45 billion per month of Treasuries to hold borrowing costs down for households and businesses. The Fed also kept its federal funds target rate—the rate banks charge one another for overnight loans—anchored at 0.00%–0.25% to keep short-term interest rates low.

Given the magnitude of this support, it was not surprising that the financial markets were rattled when Fed officials began

The fund expense ratios shown are from the prospectus dated December 28, 2012, and represent estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013, the funds’ expense ratios were: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.16% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.13%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.08%. The expense ratios for the Prime Money Market Fund Investor Shares, the Federal Money Market Fund, and the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund reflect a temporary reduction in operating expenses (described in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements). Before the reduction, the expense ratios were: for the Prime Money Market Fund Investor Shares, 0.17%; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.14%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.09%.

Peer groups: For the Prime Money Market Fund, Money Market Funds; for the Federal Money Market Fund, Government Money Market Funds; and for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds. In most, if not all, cases, the expense ratios for funds in the peer groups are 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.

signaling in May that further improvements in the housing and labor markets might warrant “letting up a bit on the gas pedal,” as the Fed chairman put it, before the end of the year. The prospect of the central bank beginning to taper its efforts sooner than the market had been anticipating drove the yields of longer-term bonds substantially higher and their prices lower. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.)

Short-term bond yields were affected much less, however, as they more closely track the federal funds target rate, which the Fed expects to keep near zero for some time. Its latest guidance was that the rate will stay exceptionally low at least as long as inflation remains contained and the unemployment rate stays above 6.5% (the rate stood at 7.3% in August).

While money market yields were meager, the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, was able to add value by keeping costs low and by seeking out relative value opportunities among securities with high credit quality.

A source of liquidity and safety for all three funds was their “risk-free” holdings in U.S. Treasury bills. During the period, the advisor found more relative value for the Federal and Prime Money Market Funds among U.S. government obligations—primarily notes issued by Fannie Mae and

Freddie Mac that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government but are nonetheless of very high credit quality.

Within the Prime Money Market Fund, which has a broader investment mandate, the advisor also took advantage of opportunities to invest in high-quality foreign debt denominated in U.S. dollars. The yields on offer and the advantage of greater diversification led the advisor to invest in securities of Canadian and Australian banks in particular, while avoiding their European counterparts during the period under review.

Money market returns haven’t always been so low
While short-term interest rates have been negligible for several years now, the annualized return of the funds over the last ten years reflects the higher rates that existed before the financial crisis. The average annual return for the Prime Money Market Fund over the past ten years was 1.77% for Investor Shares and 1.91% for Institutional Shares. The Federal Money Market Fund returned 1.70% and the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund returned 1.61% for the same period. It’s pleasing to note that the returns of all three funds were well ahead of the average returns of their peer groups, thanks in part to the experienced and

astute management team that oversees the funds as well as our low-cost structure for running them.

In pursuing investment goals, your long-term asset mix is key
As I mentioned earlier, financial markets were rattled by the prospect that the Fed might begin scaling back its massive bond-buying program. Bond yields jumped (and so prices fell), and the stock market experienced some turmoil.

Volatility and increased uncertainty can tempt investors to deviate from their investment plan. In the mutual fund industry, for example, the recent rise in bond yields has led to net redemptions from bond funds as investors try to sidestep losses that might arise from a sustained climb in interest rates.

Keep in mind, however, that although interest rates remain low, nobody is certain what their next move will be—much less how financial markets will react to the change.

In fact, it’s precisely because short-term market movements are unpredictable that trying to time the markets often fails, as Vanguard and other researchers have found. A recent Vanguard research paper notes that although many investors alter their portfolios based on emotional reactions to market movements,

Your fund distributed a small capital gain
Shortly after the close of the fiscal year, your money market fund made a small
distribution of short-term capital gains. You can view the amount per share on
Vanguard’s website by visiting the “Distributions” section of your fund’s profile.
 
Although uncommon for money market funds, capital gains distributions have
become more common in recent years because of the unusual interest rate
environment. Declining rates drive up the prices of securities, which then may
generate a gain if they are sold. These short-term capital gains are taxed as
ordinary income.
 
Consistent with their investment objectives, all three funds maintained their
share price of $1, as is expected but not guaranteed.

investment success actually is “largely determined by the long-term mixture of assets in a portfolio.” (You can find the full report, Vanguard’s Framework for Constructing Diversified Portfolios, at vanguard.com/research.)

We continue to believe that sticking to a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments over the long haul—rather than making impulsive changes to try to avoid potential losses or capitalize on perceived opportunities—gives you the best chance of meeting your investment goals.

As always, thank you for your confidence in Vanguard.

Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, returns for the three Vanguard Money Market Funds in this report were negligible, ranging from 0.01% for the Federal Money Market Fund to 0.07% for Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund. The average return for each fund’s peer group was 0%.

The Federal Reserve has continued to keep short-term rates at extremely low levels since December 2008, extending what has been a challenging environment for money market investors. Moreover, while economic conditions have shown steady improvement, the pace remains subdued, leading us to conclude that we are headed for another year of exceptionally low returns for money market funds.

Portfolio adjustments
Given our outlook for interest rates, we kept the weighted average maturity of the portfolio at the upper end of the permitted range. This allowed us to capture more of the higher yields offered by longer-dated securities.

We continue to manage our investments with an eye toward maintaining a high degree of liquidity and safety in the portfolios. Our allocation to U.S. Treasury and agency securities in the Prime Money Market Fund, our flagship fund, is crucial to achieving this goal. During critical periods throughout the financial crisis, U.S. Treasury and agency securities outperformed other money market assets while remaining highly liquid. Their yields may be lower because of their superior quality and liquidity, but Vanguard’s expense ratio advantage helps balance that out.

That said, the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund and the Prime Money Market Fund had both lightened their allocation a little to Treasuries by the end of the period in favor of the slightly better yields available from agency securities. In addition, we shifted the asset mix of the Prime Money Market Fund to take advantage of relative value opportunities, primarily in Canadian government debt issued in U.S. dollars and commercial paper issued by U.S. industrial corporations.

The outlook
We have continued to monitor conditions in Europe, but refrained from investing in European banks during the period. While we still believe a number of countries in the southern periphery of Europe remain vulnerable to external shocks and counterproductive domestic policy choices, the conditions that led us to avoid all European bank debt have subsided. As of this writing, we have begun to diversify our holdings, primarily by adding securities issued by a limited number of U.K. and Northern European banks. These institutions were insulated from the conditions that plagued their southern counterparts.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently proposed money market fund reforms that go beyond the changes the commission adopted in 2010 in the wake of the financial crisis to enhance the funds’ stability and safety. We appreciate the commission’s efforts in moving this debate forward and have welcomed the opportunity to review and comment on its latest proposal to ensure that your interests are represented.

While the regulatory environment is going to continue to evolve, we remain confident in the stability and safety of our money market funds, in part because we manage our funds conservatively, keep costs low, and invest only in securities that our skilled and experienced credit analysts identify as being of the highest quality.

Prime Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Prime 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 short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for institutional 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. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.

1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 counter-party’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral 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.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund and 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of

33


 

Prime Money Market Fund

$15,213,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 6.08% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 so as 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 August 31, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $10,254,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets).

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 fund’s investment in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund is valued based on Level 1 inputs. All of the fund’s other investments were valued 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. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

The fund distributed $11,224,000 ($0.000086 per share) of short-term capital gains to shareholders of record on September 20, 2013.

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. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Federal Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Federal 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 short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments.

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

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

2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of pre-qualified 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 counter-party’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral 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.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $426,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.17% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 so as 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 August 31, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $492,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets).

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 August 31, 2013, 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 August 31, 2013, that would require recognition in these financial statements. The fund distributed $206,000 ($0.000059 per share) of short-term capital gains to shareholders of record on September 20, 2013.

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. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard Admiral Treasury 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 short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

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

1. Security Valuation: 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 taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2010–2013), 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. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $1,410,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.56% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 so as 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 August 31, 2013, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $1,281,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average net assets).

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).

55


 

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund

At August 31, 2013, 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 August 31, 2013, that would require recognition in these financial statements. The fund distributed $185,000 ($0.000016 per share) of short-term capital gains to shareholders of record on September 20, 2013.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Money Market Reserves and Vanguard Admiral Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund:

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 Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) at August 31, 2013, 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 August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, 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.

The annualized six-month expense ratios for the Prime Money Market Fund Investor Shares, the Federal Money Market Fund, and the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund reflect a temporary reduction in operating expenses (described in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements). Before the reduction, the annualized six-month expense ratios were: for the Prime Money Market Fund Investor Shares, 0.16%; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.12%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.08%.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor to the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management services over both the short and long term and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted 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 the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary pages 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 the funds’ advisory fee rates were also well below their peer-group averages. 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 the funds’ 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 arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

SEC Yields. 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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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 181 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Stocks of midsized companies generally outperformed both their large-capitalization counterparts and the broad U.S. market for the fiscal year—a turnabout from a year earlier. Mid-cap returns approached those of small companies, the market’s sweet spot during the period.

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, returns for the Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Funds ranged from almost 21% for the Growth Fund to more than 26% for the Value Fund. Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund, which encompasses both growth and value stocks, returned more than 23%.

Each fund achieved its objective of closely tracking the performance of its target index but lagged the average return of its peer group. In all three funds, every industry sector notched significant gains. Industrial, financial, and consumer discretionary stocks were among the top contributors, as they were for the previous fiscal year.

If you hold your shares in a taxable account, you may want to review the information on after-tax returns that appears later in this report.

Stocks posted robust results despite setbacks at the finish

as the economy continued to show modest growth and investors appeared more receptive to risk.

Much of the market’s recent weakness was linked to fear that the Federal Reserve would begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying program sooner rather than later. Heightened strife in the Middle East also contributed to anxiety in the global markets.

International stocks in aggregate finished with a return of about 13%. Developed markets in the Pacific region and Europe posted results closer to those of the United States. Returns for emerging-market stocks overall were virtually flat as economic growth slowed in China and Brazil.

Although global economic growth concerns and tensions over conflicts abroad have unsettled markets, Jonathan Lemco, a senior sovereign-debt analyst in Vanguard’s Taxable Credit Research Group, pointed out that investors can still manage risks amid international instability. “Vanguard believes a diversified portfolio is the best way to spread the risk of geopolitical uncertainty,” he said.

Bond returns turned negative amid worry about Fed’s next move
Bonds, which generated slightly positive returns through the first eight months of the period, reversed course in May and then continued to retreat as investors anticipated reductions in the Fed’s bond-buying program.

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –2.47% for the 12 months. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note finished at 2.76%, up from 1.56% at the end of August 2012. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) Municipal bonds suffered more, returning –3.70% for the fiscal year.

Returns for money markets and savings accounts were minuscule as the Fed kept its target for short-term interest rates at 0%–0.25%.

Midsized companies rode the market’s rising tide
The U.S. stock market’s smallest slices were the biggest beneficiaries of the improving investor sentiment that helped drive the period’s almost uninterrupted rally. Small-cap stocks led the way: The S&P SmallCap 600 Index, representing about 3% of the total value of the U.S. stock market, returned almost 27%. Midsized companies were close behind, with a gain of nearly 24% for the S&P MidCap 400 Index, which represents about 7% of the overall U.S. market.

Value stocks of all sizes generally outperformed their growth-oriented counterparts, making the Mid-Cap 400 Value Index Fund the best performer of the three funds. Financials and industrials, the fund’s two largest sectors, contributed the most to its total return. Regional banks bolstered their balance sheets and reported significant growth in profits—a development that would have appeared unlikely five years ago when

Investment insight
Growth stocks versus value stocks: A case for both
Growth and value stocks typically take turns outperforming each other. The chart
here shows how they have switched off during the past 20 years in leading or
lagging a broader market average.
 
These two styles of investing are typically considered complementary—when growth
is performing well, value typically isn’t, and vice versa. Generally speaking, growth
stocks represent companies that are expected to expand their businesses at a rapid
pace, while value stocks typically represent more established, slower-growing
companies.
 
Which does better in the long run? Neither. Vanguard research has shown that there
is no significant long-term difference in the risk/reward characteristics of growth and
value stocks. But, because their performance can vary considerably over shorter time
periods, a truly diversified portfolio should have exposure to both.

the collapse of Lehman Brothers sparked the financial crisis. Insurance companies also performed very well. And, as the U.S. and global economy gained strength, the standouts in industrials included makers of construction, farm, and industrial machinery, along with aerospace and defense contractors.

Similar themes played out in the Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund, which includes both value and growth stocks. With households loosening the grip on their wallets, the consumer discretionary sector joined financials and industrials—the largest sectors in this fund, too—as the leading contributors to return. Sources of strength in consumer discretionary included home furnishings and housewares—reflecting the recovering housing market—as well as apparel.

Industrials were also the top contributors in the Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund, where they were the fourth-largest sector. Consumer discretionary, the second-largest sector, and the smaller health care sector were also leading contributors. Within the health care group, biotechnol-ogy stocks provided a notable boost.

The funds continued to build a strong index-tracking record
The ETF Shares of all three S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Funds, which launched on September 7, 2010, were just shy of their

A note on expense ratios
The Expense Ratios table in each shareholder report’s Chairman’s Letter displays
fund expense ratios from the most recent prospectus. These figures include
the funds’ actual operating expenses. For some funds, the figures also include
“acquired fund fees and expenses,” which result from the funds’ holdings in
business development companies (BDCs).
 
Although the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that BDC costs be
included in a fund’s expense ratio, these fees are not incurred by the fund. They
have no impact on a fund’s total return or on its tracking error relative to an index.
A footnote to the Expense Ratios table reports the fund’s actual expenses for the
fiscal year, a more relevant tally of the operating costs incurred by shareholders.

three-year anniversary at the end of the fiscal period. (The Institutional Shares came later.) In your fund’s Performance Summary, provided later in this report, you’ll find a year-by-year comparison of the fund’s return with that of its target index.

Vanguard encourages investors to view fund performance over long periods, and it’s certainly true that three years doesn’t constitute “long-term.” But the funds’ close tracking of their target indexes to date underscores the skill and experience of Vanguard’s Equity Investment Group, which is supported by state-of-the-art technology that helps to control risk and keep trading efficient in all market conditions. And Vanguard’s low expense ratios help the funds’ returns come closer to those of their benchmark indexes, which incur no expenses.

In challenging markets, index funds can be a solid portfolio foundation
As you know, index funds seek to capture the return of the market they track, minus only their operating expenses, which—at least at Vanguard—are typically very low. The funds do so by investing in an entire market or by relying on a sophisticated market-sampling technique.

In actively managed funds, by contrast, advisors troll the markets and reel in selected stocks or bonds that their analysis suggests will allow them to outperform their benchmarks. As we show in The Case for Index Fund Investing, a paper available at vanguard.com/research, there’s typically a big gap between hope and reality: Consistent outperformance by any one active manager has been rare.

I use the word “typically” because we believe that some actively managed funds, including Vanguard’s, can increase the odds of outperforming benchmarks over the long term. As demonstrated in a companion paper, The Case for Vanguard Active Management: Solving the Low-Cost/Top-Talent Paradox? (also at vanguard.com/research), the most reliable quantitative indicator of future manager success is low expenses—a Vanguard hallmark. And, as the paper’s title implies, finding talented advisors is a key aspect of active investing. We believe we have the process in place to identify the best.

Even so, investors in actively managed funds should expect, and be comfortable with, the extended periods of underperfor-mance that such funds can undergo. The challenges of active investing, conversely, point to the potential benefits of indexing. Well-run index funds offer you virtually the market return, year in and year out. In a portfolio that is diversified within asset classes, and balanced among them, low-cost index funds can be the bedrock of a sound investment plan.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund may use index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. 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.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

22


 

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund, provided that such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $49,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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.

23


 

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund

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 August 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 404,867
Temporary Cash Investments 1,775 100
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (30)
Total 406,612 100
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index September 2013 18 2,129 (50)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $4,225,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $2,839,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $2,595,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $358,255,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $48,487,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $55,247,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $6,760,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $235,375,000 of investment securities and sold $40,225,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $125,089,000 and $14,188,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund may use index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. 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.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $10,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 August 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 76,345
Temporary Cash Investments 23 100
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (2)
Total 76,366 100

D. At August 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index September 2013 1 118 (2)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $5,267,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $805,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. At August 31, 2013, the fund had available capital losses totaling $3,060,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $68,371,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $8,097,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $9,025,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $928,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $75,455,000 of investment securities and sold $58,930,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $31,578,000 and $17,204,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Net Increase (Decrease)—ETF Shares 14,425 200 2,458 50

 

At August 31, 2013, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 26% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.

H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund may use index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. 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.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

53


 

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund, provided that such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $27,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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.

54


 

S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund

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 August 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 223,999
Temporary Cash Investments 337 100
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (7)
Total 224,329 100
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.

 

D. At August 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index September 2013 4 473 (18)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $6,960,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $1,364,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $7,588,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $195,593,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $28,843,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $33,001,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,158,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $172,273,000 of investment securities and sold $89,204,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $103,170,000 and $31,308,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

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

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2013. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

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

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

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index Fund, S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value Index Fund, and S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as investment advisor to the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services provided to the funds since their inception in 2010, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment 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 approval of the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance
The board considered the funds’ performance since their inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in its respective peer group and that the funds’ advisory fee rates were also well below their peer-group averages. 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 the funds’ 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 arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange 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.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

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.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

63


 

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

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 181 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund and Vanguard S&P 500 Value Index Fund delivered strong performances for the 12 months ended August 31, 2013. Both funds closely tracked their target indexes.

U.S. stocks generally performed well. While both large-capitalization growth and large-cap value stocks produced double-digit results for the period, value stocks outpaced their growth counterparts by several percentage points. In this investment environment, the S&P 500 Value Index Fund returned about 23% and the S&P 500 Growth Index Fund returned about 15%.

If you hold shares of your fund in a taxable account, you may wish to review the information on the fund’s after-tax returns that appears later in this report.

Stocks posted robust results despite setbacks at the finish
U.S. stocks advanced about 20% in the 12 months ended August 31 despite slipping in June and August. Through most of the fiscal year, stocks surged as the economy continued to show modest growth and investors appeared more receptive to risk.

Much of the market’s recent weakness stemmed from fear that the Federal Reserve would begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying program.

Heightened strife in the Middle East also contributed to anxiety in the global markets.

International stocks in aggregate finished with a return of about 13%. Developed markets in the Pacific region and Europe posted results closer to those of the United States. Returns for emerging-market stocks overall were virtually flat as economic growth slowed in China and Brazil.

Although global economic worries and tensions over conflicts abroad have unsettled markets, Jonathan Lemco, a senior sovereign debt analyst in Vanguard Taxable Credit Research Group, pointed out that investors can still manage risks amid international instability. “Vanguard believes a diversified portfolio is the best way to spread the risk of geopolitical uncertainty,” he said.

Bond returns turned negative amid worry about the Fed’s next move
Bonds, which maintained slightly positive returns through the first eight months of the period, reversed course in May and then continued to retreat as investors anticipated reductions in the Fed’s bond-buying program.

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –2.47% for the 12 months. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note finished at 2.76%, up from 1.56% at the end of August 2012. (Bond yields and prices

move in opposite directions.) Municipal bonds suffered more, returning –3.70% for the fiscal year. Returns for money markets and savings accounts were minuscule as the Fed kept its target for short-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%.

Value stocks outpaced their growth counterparts
Vanguard S&P 500 Index Funds provide exposure to some of the biggest companies in the United States. Investors may choose to invest broadly in the large-cap segment of the market through the 500 Index Fund (this fund is covered in a separate report), or to focus on its growth or value sectors through the S&P 500 Growth Index Fund or the S&P 500 Value Index Fund.

As I mentioned, value stocks generally outperformed their growth counterparts for the most recent fiscal period. The S&P 500 Value Index Fund’s largest sector holding, financials, contributed most to its results, adding about 8 percentage points to total return. After several years of dismal results following the 2008–2009 financial crisis, financial stocks were among the market’s top performers. The industry’s widespread resurgence persisted throughout the 12 months, generating strong returns across the sector.

Industrial, health care, and consumer discretionary stocks were also key contributors to performance. Aerospace and defense contractors and industrial conglomerates led the way in industrials.

Investment insight
Growth stocks versus value stocks: A case for both
Growth and value stocks typically take turns outperforming each other. The chart
here shows how they have switched off during the past 20 years in leading or
lagging a broader market average.
 
These two styles of investing are typically considered complementary—when growth
is performing well, value typically isn’t, and vice versa. Generally speaking, growth
stocks represent companies that are expected to expand their businesses at a rapid
pace, while value stocks typically represent more established, slower-growing
companies.
 
Which does better in the long run? Neither. Vanguard research has shown that there
is no significant long-term difference in the risk/reward characteristics of growth and
value stocks. But, because their performance can vary considerably over shorter time
periods, a truly diversified portfolio should have exposure to both.

In the health care sector, managed health care companies and pharmaceutical firms were the top performers for the period, as the health care industry overall continued to benefit from favorable rulings by the Food and Drug Administration and improved pipelines of new medicines. Growing consumer confidence boosted performance across the consumer discretionary sector, with stocks of media companies, automakers, and specialty retailers contributing most to the fund’s performance.

Health care, consumer discretionary, and industrial stocks also contributed notably to the performance of the S&P 500 Growth Index Fund. Technology stocks, the fund’s largest sector holding for the period, significantly underperformed the broad market and added very little to fund results. While some areas of the sector did well, computer hardware companies ended the period in negative territory as consumers continued to gravitate toward tablets rather than personal computers. Competition in the smartphone arena remained fierce, and key players fell short of earnings expectations.

The fund had minimal exposure to the top-performing financial sector—stocks of financial companies aren’t typically considered growth stocks—which also hindered its results compared with the S&P 500 Value Index Fund.

Both funds have closely tracked their benchmarks since inception
The S&P 500 Value and Growth Index Funds were launched just over three years ago, on September 7, 2010. While that’s not a very long track record, so far the funds have been successful in meeting their investment objective of closely tracking their target indexes.

Credit for this good start is due to the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Equity Investment Group, whose deep experience and sophisticated portfolio tracking techniques have enabled the funds to capture the returns of their benchmarks. The advisor has been aided in this task by the funds’ low expenses.

In challenging markets, index funds can be a solid portfolio foundation
As you know, index funds seek to capture the return of the market they track, minus only their operating expenses, which—at least at Vanguard—are typically very low. The funds do so by investing in an entire market or segment of it, or by relying on a sophisticated market-sampling technique.

In actively managed funds, by contrast, advisors troll the markets and reel in selected stocks or bonds that their analysis suggests will allow them to outperform their benchmarks. As we show in The Case for Index-Fund Investing, a paper available at vanguard.com/research, there’s typically a big gap between hope and reality: Consistent outperformance by any one active manager has been rare.

I use the word “typically” because we believe that some actively managed funds, including Vanguard’s, can increase the odds of outperforming benchmarks over the long term. As demonstrated in a companion paper, The Case for Vanguard Active Management: Solving the Low-Cost/Top-Talent Paradox? (also at vanguard.com/research), the most reliable quantitative indicator of future manager success is low expenses—a Vanguard hallmark. And, as the paper’s title implies, finding talented advisors is a key aspect of active investing. We believe we have the process in place to identify the best.

Even so, investors in actively managed funds should expect, and be comfortable with, the extended periods of under-performance that actively managed funds can undergo. The challenges of active investing point to the potential benefits of indexing. Well-run index funds can offer you virtually the market return, year in and year out. In a portfolio that is diversified within asset classes, and balanced among them, low-cost index funds can be the bedrock of a sound investment plan.

As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

S&P 500 Value Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P 500 Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. The fund has not issued any Institutional Shares as of August 31, 2013. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $14,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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).

At August 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

S&P 500 Value Index Fund

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $5,794,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $634,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $2,169,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $104,986,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,861,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $13,749,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $888,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $96,355,000 of investment securities and sold $43,591,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $75,809,000 and $22,839,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Year Ended August 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
ETF Shares    
Issued 1,100 500
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions
Redeemed (350) (150)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 750 350

 

G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

S&P 500 Growth Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. The fund has not issued any Institutional Shares as of August 31, 2013. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counter-parties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund, provided that such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had

31


 

S&P 500 Growth Index Fund

contributed capital of $18,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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).

At August 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $2,901,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $560,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. At August 31, 2013, the fund had available capital losses totaling $3,547,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $123,413,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $23,332,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $23,915,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $583,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $85,440,000 of investment securities and sold $48,663,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $57,331,000 and $19,523,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Admiral Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard S&P 500 Value Index Fund and Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund:

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 S&P 500 Value Index Fund and Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Admiral Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2013, 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 periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the 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 August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

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

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2013. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

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

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

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard S&P 500 Value Index Fund, and S&P 500 Growth Index Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as investment advisor to the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interest of the funds and their shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services provided to the funds since their inception in 2010, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment 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 approval of the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance
The board considered the funds’ performance since their inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in its respective peer group and that the funds’ advisory fee rates were also well below their peer group averages. 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 the funds’ 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 arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange 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.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

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.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

40


 

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

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 181 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.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder,

Sluggish but sustained growth in the U.S. economy was enough to lift investor sentiment and push the broad stock market significantly higher during the fiscal year. Small-capitalization stocks led the surge, outperforming their larger-cap counterparts.

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2013, value stocks garnered slightly more investor favor, with the S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund advancing 27.45%. (The returns cited in this letter are for ETF Shares based on net asset value.) The return of the S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund was lower at 25.59%, while the return of the S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund, which includes growth and value stocks, fell between the two others at 26.57%.

All three funds met their investment objective of closely tracking the returns of their target indexes. The broader S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund and the value fund each finished the year with a return that was higher than the average return of its peer group, while the growth fund did not.

If you hold shares of your fund in a taxable account, you may wish to review the information on the fund’s after-tax returns that appears later in this report.

U.S. stocks advanced about 20% in the 12 months ended August 31 despite slipping in October because of concerns about the

so-called fiscal cliff and in June and August on the possibility that the Federal Reserve would begin scaling back its stimulative bond-buying program sooner rather than later. Heightened strife in the Middle East also contributed to anxiety in the global markets.

Through most of the fiscal year, U.S. stocks rallied as the economy continued to show modest growth and investors appeared more receptive to risk.

International stocks in aggregate finished with a return of about 13%. Developed markets in the Pacific region and Europe posted results closer to those of the United States. Returns for emerging-market stocks were virtually flat as growth slowed in China and Brazil.

Although global economic worries and tensions over conflicts abroad have unsettled markets, Jonathan Lemco, a senior sovereign-debt analyst in the Vanguard Taxable Credit Research Group, pointed out that investors can still manage risks amid international instability. “Vanguard believes a diversified portfolio is the best way to spread the risk of geopolitical uncertainty,” he said.

Bond returns turned negative
amid worry about the Fed’s next plans Bonds, which maintained slightly positive returns overall through the first eight months of the period, reversed course in May and then continued to retreat as investors anticipated reductions in the Fed’s bond-buying program.

The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned –2.47% for the 12 months. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note finished at 2.76%, up from 1.56% at the end of August 2012. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) Municipal bonds suffered more, returning –3.70% for the fiscal year.

Returns for money markets and savings accounts were minuscule as the Fed kept its target for short-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%.

A rising tide lifted nearly all stocks
Small-cap stocks, which tend to benefit first from a strengthening economy, rose faster than larger-cap stocks for the 12-month period. Eight of the ten sectors that make up the S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund posted returns in excess of 20%.

Consumer confidence improved over the period as the housing market continued to recover and the unemployment rate ticked down. That helped drive sector returns of about 30% or more for consumer discretionary and industrials in the S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund. Among the stocks posting the highest gains were retailers, restaurants, and building product manufacturers. An even higher return from its consumer discretionary stocks and a heavier weighting in industrials helped the value fund outpace the returns of the two other funds for the period.

The technology sector was another strong performer, generating returns of 27% or more for the three funds, with electronic equipment manufacturers and software developers leading the way. Here, the stocks in the value fund performed better, but the growth fund invested more of its assets in the sector.

Financials were another heavyweight, accounting for about 20% or more of the assets in each fund at the end of the period. Banks in particular continued to recover amid strong corporate earnings, healthier balance sheets, and increased lending activity. The sector as a whole, however, returned roughly 20% for the funds, which was among the lower range of sector returns.

Utilities also turned in a subpar performance for all three funds. Given the improvement in the economic outlook, investors were less drawn to the relative stability of earnings in this sector. The same was true of some telecommunication services stocks, although they didn’t dampen performance much, as the sector constituted only a very small part of each fund’s assets.

Track records are short but strong for all three S&P small-cap funds
The S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Funds were launched just over three years ago, on September 7, 2010. Since then, they have posted average annual returns of about 20% to 22%.

Timing was admittedly on their side; these funds started operations shortly after the stock market began to rebound from the steep price declines of 2008–2009. Although that timing contributed to their impressive absolute returns, credit is due to the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Equity Investment Group, for capturing so much of the performance of their target indexes. The advisor’s deep

A note on expense ratios
The Expense Ratios table in each shareholder report’s Chairman’s Letter displays
fund expense ratios from the most recent prospectus. These figures include
the funds’ actual operating expenses. For some funds, the figures also include
“acquired fund fees and expenses,” which result from the funds’ holdings in
business development companies (BDCs).
 
Although the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that BDC costs be
included in a fund’s expense ratio, these fees are not incurred by the fund. They
have no impact on a fund’s total return or on its tracking error relative to an index.
A footnote to the Expense Ratios table reports the fund’s actual expenses for the
fiscal year, a more relevant tally of the operating costs incurred by shareholders.

Investment insight
Growth stocks versus value stocks: A case for both
Growth and value stocks typically take turns outperforming each other. The chart
here shows how they have switched off during the past 17 years in leading or
lagging a broader market average.
 
These two styles of investing are typically considered complementary—when growth
is performing well, value typically isn’t, and vice versa. Generally speaking, growth
stocks represent companies that are expected to expand their businesses at a rapid
pace, while value stocks typically represent more established, slower-growing
companies.
 
Which does better in the long run? Neither. Vanguard research has shown that there
is no significant long-term difference in the risk/reward characteristics of growth and
value stocks. But, because their performance can vary considerably over shorter time
periods, a truly diversified portfolio should have exposure to both.

experience and sophisticated portfolio tracking techniques, along with its ability to keep costs low, also enabled all three funds since their inception to outpace the average annual returns of their peer groups.

In challenging markets, index funds can be a solid portfolio foundation
As you know, index funds seek to capture the return of the market they track, minus only their operating expenses, which—at least at Vanguard—are typically very low. The funds do so by investing in an entire market or segment of it, or by relying on a sophisticated market-sampling technique.

In actively managed funds, by contrast, advisors troll the markets and reel in selected stocks or bonds that their analysis suggests will allow them to outperform their benchmarks. As we show in The Case for Index-Fund Investing, a paper available at vanguard.com/research, there’s typically a big gap between hope and reality: Consistent outperformance by any one active manager has been rare.

I use the word “typically” because we believe that some actively managed funds, including Vanguard’s, can increase the odds of outperforming benchmarks over the long term. As demonstrated in a companion paper, The Case for Vanguard Active Management: Solving the Low-Cost/Top-Talent Paradox? (also available at vanguard.com/research), the most reliable quantitative indicator of future manager success is low expenses—a Vanguard hallmark. And, as the paper’s title implies, finding talented advisors is a key aspect of active investing. We believe we have the process in place to identify the best.

Even so, investors in actively managed funds should expect, and be comfortable with, the extended periods of under-performance that actively managed funds can undergo. The challenges of active investing point to the potential benefits of indexing. Well-run index funds can offer you virtually the market return, year in and year out. In a portfolio that is diversified within asset classes, and balanced among them, low-cost index funds can be the bedrock of a sound investment plan.

As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Sincerely,


F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Futures Contracts: The fund may use index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. 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.

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

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on quarterly average aggregate settlement values.

24


 

S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund

3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of pre-qualified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund, provided that such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.

6. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and 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. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $29,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 August 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 235,196
Temporary Cash Investments 1,005 500
Futures Contracts—Assets1 1
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 (23)
Total 236,179 500
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period.      

 

D. At August 31, 2013, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:

        ($000)
      Aggregate  
    Number of Settlement Unrealized
    Long (Short) Value Appreciation
Futures Contracts Expiration Contracts Long (Short) (Depreciation)
E-mini Russell 2000 Index September 2013 14 1,414 (35)

 

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

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $4,906,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

26


 

S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $1,478,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $1,022,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $196,488,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $40,213,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $46,769,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $6,556,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $96,866,000 of investment securities and sold $36,178,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $58,420,000 and $14,338,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

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

      Year Ended August 31,
    2013   2012
  Amount Shares Amount Shares
  ($000) (000) ($000) (000)
Institutional Shares        
Issued 50,427 318 24,308 191
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions 1,594 11 681 5
Redeemed (28,624) (177) (10,065) (78)
Net Increase (Decrease) —Institutional Shares 23,397 152 14,924 118
ETF Shares        
Issued 41,757 550 22,750 350
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions
Redeemed (3,492) (50) (3,005) (50)
Net Increase (Decrease)—ETF Shares 38,265 500 19,745 300

 

At August 31, 2013, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 44% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.

H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. During the year ended August 31, 2013, there were no investors in the Institutional share class. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

4. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $4,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 2Other 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 August 31, 2013, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $2,340,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $307,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $920,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $24,879,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,117,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $4,619,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $502,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $22,779,000 of investment securities and sold $14,705,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $14,882,000 and $6,880,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

  Year Ended August 31,
  2013 2012
  Shares Shares
  (000) (000)
Issued 200 50
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions
Redeemed (100) (50)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding 100

 

G. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to August 31, 2013, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and ETF Shares. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were issued and redeemed during the year. As of August 31, 2013, there were no investors in the Institutional share class. ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2011–2013), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

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

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

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2013, the fund had contributed capital of $3,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers 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 August 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them:

  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Investments ($000) ($000) ($000)
Common Stocks 21,949
Temporary Cash Investments 100
Total 21,949 100

 

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund realized $1,616,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.

For tax purposes, at August 31, 2013, the fund had $137,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $910,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.

At August 31, 2013, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $18,026,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,023,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $4,444,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $421,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

E. During the year ended August 31, 2013, the fund purchased $19,043,000 of investment securities and sold $15,130,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $11,876,000 and $6,433,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Vanguard Admiral Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund, Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund and Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund:

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 S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund, Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund and Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Admiral Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2013, 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 periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the 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 August 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and broker and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns

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

Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2013. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)

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

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

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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 funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund, 0.08% for Institutional Shares and 0.15% for ETF Shares; for the S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund, 0.20% for ETF Shares; and for the S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund, 0.20% for ETF 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement

The board of trustees of Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund, S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index Fund, and S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth Index Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard). Vanguard—through its Equity Investment Group—serves as investment advisor to the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interest of the funds and their shareholders.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the investment management services provided to the funds since their inception in 2010, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Equity Investment 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 approval of the advisory arrangement.

Investment performance
The board considered the funds’ performance since their inception, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance relative to a target index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that the advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.

Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in its respective peer group and that the funds’ advisory fee rates were also well below their peer group averages. 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 the funds’ 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 arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary

30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange 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.

Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.

Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.

Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.

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.

Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.

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.

Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.

Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.

Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.

62


 

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

Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

63


 

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 181 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.
