LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder,
Yields of money market instruments continued to languish during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, declining to their lowest levels ever. In the final few months of the period, though, yields began a modest upswing.
Amid this market environment, the total returns of the Vanguard Money Market Funds relative to their mutual fund peers were excellent. The table below presents the total returns of our funds, as well as those of their average peers. The table also gives each fund’s annualized yield as of August 31. Each fund continued to meet its mandate to preserve principal (the share price of each held steady at $1, as is expected but not guaranteed), provide liquidity, and generate superior relative returns.

STOCKS HUNG ON TO FIRST-HALF GAINS
A strong rally in stock prices during the first half of the fiscal year produced solid 12-month gains, despite a volatile second-half retreat. The broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, returned 11.5% for the 12 months.
Through February, stocks benefited from strong corporate earnings growth and a string of positive economic surprises. The environment then deteriorated, however, especially in the final months of the fiscal
1
year, when job growth slowed, the reported growth in second-quarter gross domestic product was revised downward, and the economy started showing the strain of a relentless rise in crude oil prices.
Larger- and smaller-capitalization stocks provided roughly equal returns for the year. Value-oriented stocks (those with relatively low ratios of price to fundamental measures such as earnings) had significantly better returns than growth stocks across market capitalizations. International stocks produced by far the largest gains for U.S. investors, boosted by the weakness of the U.S. dollar (which increases returns for international investments purchased with the greenback). Impressive gains were widespread across Eurozone countries, Japan, and emerging markets.
BONDS MIRRORED STOCKS’ RETURNS
Like stocks, the bond market seesawed in response to a rapidly changing economic picture. Bond prices rose steadily until April, when they underwent a sudden reversal, boosting yields (which move in the opposite direction from prices), in response to reports of higher-than-expected inflation and job growth. But prices jumped again in August, when signs multiplied that the recent economic surge had cooled. During the fiscal year, the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a benchmark for longer-term interest rates, dropped to a low of 3.69% in March, climbed to 4.65% by the end of May, and ended the period at 4.12%.

For the full 12 months, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.1%. Corporate bonds provided higher returns than government issues. The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill—a proxy for money market rates—rose in anticipation of, and in response to, the Federal Reserve Board’s June and August hikes in its target for the federal funds rate. The bill yielded 1.58% at the end of the period, up 0.61 percentage point from its August 31, 2003, level.

LATE RATE INCREASES WERE NOT ENOUGH TO COUNTERACT LOW YIELDS
The Federal Reserve’s long campaign to stimulate the economy through low short-term interest rates lasted well into the Vanguard Money Market Funds’ 2004 fiscal year. As a result, investors were faced with money market yields that were disappointing. The yields of money market securities were so low that they failed to keep pace with inflation. As the fiscal year began last September, the annualized yields of all of the Vanguard Money Market Funds were below 1%.
In the latter part of the fiscal year, however, money market yields began to recover in response to the Fed’s 0.25-percentage-point rate hikes in June and August, which were part of the Fed’s measured effort to counter inflationary pressures. Despite these rate hikes, the Investor Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, our oldest and largest money market fund, returned just 0.8% in fiscal 2004—the lowest fiscal-year return since the fund’s June 1975 inception.

Federal | 1.23 | 0.75 | |
Treasury | 1.14 | 0.70 | |
Admiral Treasury | 1.32 | 0.86 | |
The Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares returned 1.0%, the best result among our money market funds. The returns of the fund’s institutional investors are enhanced by the fact that their significant account balances create economies of scale that lower the fund’s operating costs markedly.
Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund’s 0.7% return, and the 0.9% return of the lower-cost Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, reflected these funds’ exclusive focus on T-bills, which are typically the lowest-yielding, but highest-quality, money market instruments. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, which seeks to enhance the returns of an all-Treasury portfolio by investing in short-term securities issued by federal agencies, returned 0.8%.
THE FUNDS' LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE RECORDS ARE OUTSTANDING
Despite the challenges of the 2004 fiscal year, the Vanguard Money Market Funds have excellent long-term performance records, in both absolute and relative terms. Indeed, long-term investors in any of our

money market funds would have fared better than long-term investors in corresponding average peer funds.
The funds’ long-term performance advantage is due to two important factors: the investment-management skills of our Fixed Income Group and the funds’ extremely low expenses. The talents of the members of our Fixed Income Group enable them to select the appropriate mix of securities that meet the funds’ risk-return criteria. In addition, over the long run, the consistently low costs of the Vanguard Money Market Funds mean that more of their returns are put back into shareholders’ accounts to continue growing. (For more on the funds’ expenses, see page 16.)
The table above shows the average annual returns of the Vanguard Money Market Funds and those of their peer groups for the ten years ended August 31, 2004. It also displays how equal investments in our funds and those of our average competitors would have grown. In each case, the Vanguard® fund produced a higher total return—and created more wealth for shareholders—than its average peer.
IS THERE STILL A ROLE FOR MONEY MARKET FUNDS?
Over the past few years, the Federal Reserve’s series of rate cuts left the returns of money market funds well below the levels consistent with long-term investors’ expectations. Even now, despite the recent rate hikes, money market funds’ returns are low by historical standards.
For many investors, though, money market funds can still play an important role in a portfolio. Vanguard has always embraced the principles
4
of balance and diversification as essential strategies for investors when confronting the uncertainties and risks of the financial markets. A balanced portfolio that has an appropriate mix of stocks, bonds, and money market funds for your situation can enable you to pursue growth of capital, while securing some protection from the markets’ inevitable downturns. Money market funds can prove invaluable in that mix, as they offer liquidity and stability of principal to permit you to invest money for short-term goals.
We thank you for your continued confidence in Vanguard.

REPORT FROM THE ADVISOR
The Vanguard Money Market Funds provided historically low returns for much of the just-completed fiscal year, as the Federal Reserve Board’s accommodative monetary policy kept money market yields at low levels. However, in the closing two months of the period, money market yields rose somewhat on the heels of two interest rate increases by the Fed. The 12-month returns of the four funds ranged from 0.7% for the Treasury Money Market Fund to 1.0% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund. Each fund outperformed its average peer.
THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
The main theme in the money markets during the majority of the period was the continuing decline of short-term interest rates. However, toward the end of the period, the Fed began to try to rein in inflationary pressures by twice raising the target for the federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage point, first from 1.00% to 1.25% in June, then from 1.25% to 1.50% in August. These two increases followed 13 decreases over the preceding 41 months.
In its statement explaining the August increase, the Fed acknowledged that economic growth had slowed and inflation had been on the rise in recent months, but pointed to rising oil prices as the chief cause. The Fed said it still believed the economy “appears poised to resume a stronger pace of expansion going forward,” but hedged its position by adding that it would “respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability.” We believe the financial markets have already factored in further rate increases.
Investment Philosophy
The funds reflect a belief that the highest level of current income consistent with capital preservation and liquidity can be provided by holding high-quality money market instruments issued by financial institutions, nonfinancial corporations, the U.S. government, and federal agencies.
The U.S. economy continued to expand at a robust year-over-year pace of 4.7%, near levels last seen in the late 1990s. However, the Commerce Department reported that inflation-adjusted gross domestic product (real GDP) grew at a 2.8% annual rate in the second calendar quarter,
6
down from a 4.5% growth rate in the first quarter. “Soft patches” in economic growth late in the period were largely attributable to the most tepid increases in consumer spending in three years, which some analysts attributed to the latest spike in oil prices. Conversely, investment spending accelerated at nearly a 13.1% pace in the second calendar quarter, driven largely by capital expenditures on high-tech equipment and single-family homebuilding.
Nonfarm payroll employment expanded at a fair 1.3% rate over the past year, although the pace of job growth moderated following the first calendar quarter. Nonfarm payrolls grew by an average of approximately 100,000 jobs per month in June, July, and August. The unemployment rate, which is based on a separate survey, dropped slightly in August to 5.4%, the lowest level since late 2001. Most leading indicators suggest that conditions remain promising for increased hiring.
Various inflationary measures accelerated in the second calendar quarter relative to the first. The GDP price deflator—among the broadest infla-tion measures available—rose at an annual rate of 3.2% in the second calendar quarter, after going up 2.7% in the first quarter. Excluding more volatile food and energy prices, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation—the personal consumption expenditure deflator—stood at a year-over-year rate of 1.5% through July, compared with a rate of 1.1% at the end of 2003. Expectations for inflation over the coming 12 months remain elevated, although the Fed noted that longer-term inflation expectations have moderated somewhat and “appear contained.”
OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH
Budget deficits have been largely funded with increased Treasury bill issuance. The increased supply of Treasury bills has resulted in narrower spreads between Treasuries and other money market assets. For quality-conscious investors like ourselves, the opportunity to own riskless Treasuries without sacrificing much in yield is compelling, and we frequently took advantage of such opportunities.
Throughout the first three quarters of the fiscal period, we kept our Treasury Money Market Funds’ average weighted maturities in the bullish band. This reflected our view that short-term Treasury rates would remain low and that investment returns farther out on the money market yield curve were more attractive. We kept the maturities of both the Prime and Federal Money Market Funds in the neutral band.
7
By the fourth fiscal quarter, our outlook for interest rates had changed. We began to see signs of higher inflation and stronger employment, which led us to believe that the Fed would begin raising interest rates. We saw this as an opportunity to shorten the funds’ average weighted maturities. Shortening average weighted maturity allows us to reinvest a fund’s assets more frequently, which is a benefit to shareholders when interest rates are on the rise.
Although it appears rather certain that interest rates will continue to rise over the coming months, we are of course unsure of the degree of increase. We are confident, though, that our funds will continue to deliver competitive returns relative to their peers because of the funds’ low operating costs. These low costs enable our funds to offer higher-than-average credit quality and higher-than-average net yields.

Average Quality. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the ratings assigned to a fund’s fixed income holdings by credit-rating agencies. The agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with Aaa or AAA indicating the most creditworthy bond issuers. U.S. Treasury securities are considered to have the highest credit quality.
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.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s interest income. The yield is expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value. For money market funds, yield is based on income earned over the past seven days and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES
As of 8/31/2004
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 funds. (For the most recent performance, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) 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 funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds. The annualized yields shown reflect the current earnings of the funds more closely than do the average annual returns.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table below illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Treasury | 1,000.00 | 1,023.49 | 1.53 |
Admiral Treasury | 1,000.00 | 1,024.34 | 0.66 |
*These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal half-year. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.30% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.30%; for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.30%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.13%. 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 fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.
•Based on hypothetical 5% 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
16
hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Peer-group ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2003.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus (the fee does not apply to the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares). If this fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the past five years, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

As of 8/31/2004 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund’s holdings on the last day of the reporting period, including each security’s maturity date, coupon rate or yield to maturity at the time of purchase, and statement-date market value. Securities are grouped and subtotaled by type of instrument (U.S. government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, etc.). Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share. Each fund’s objective is to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets of each fund, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Virtually the entire amount of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). Undistributed Net Investment Income is usually zero because the fund distributes its net income to shareholders as a dividend each day, and Accumulated Realized Gains (Losses) are very small because the fund seldom realizes any significant gains or losses on sales of securities.
Each fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
This Statement shows interest income earned by each fund during the reporting period, and details the operating expenses charged to each class of its shares. These expenses directly reduce the amount of investment income available to pay to shareholders as income dividends. This Statement also shows any Net Gain (Loss) realized on the sale of investments, and any Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of investments during the period. For money market funds, Realized Net Gain (Loss) should always be minimal, and Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) should be zero.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. Because the fund distributes its income to shareholders each day, the amounts of Dividends from Net Investment Income generally equal the net income earned as shown under the Operations section. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. Dividends and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Each fund’s objective is to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share by distributing all of the fund’s net investment income and avoiding capital gains or losses. The financial highlights table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. The table also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. These data will help you assess the variability of net income returns from year to year and how much it costs to operate the fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vanguard Money Market Funds comprise the Prime Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, Treasury Money Market Fund, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The Prime Money Market 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 Federal Money Market Fund invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The Treasury Money Market Fund and the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund invest in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
The Prime Money Market 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 investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million. The Federal, Treasury, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds each offer only Investor Shares.
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in Vanguard® Yorktown™ Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The Prime Money Market and Federal Money Market Funds, along with other members of The Vanguard Group, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account, which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities. These funds may also invest directly in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for 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; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
3. Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
4. Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
5. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Yorktown Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
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, shareholder accounting, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to each fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2004, the funds had contributed capital to Vanguard (included in Other Assets) of:
Money Market Fund | Capital Contribution to Vanguard (000) | Percentage of Fund Net Assets | Percentage of Vanguard's Capitalization |
---|---|---|---|
Prime | $7,151 | 0.01% | 7.15% |
Federal | 811 | 0.01 | 0.81 |
Treasury | 675 | 0.01 | 0.67 |
Admiral Treasury | 1,903 | 0.01 | 1.90 |
The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard Money Market Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets, statements of assets and liabilities 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, Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at August 31, 2004, 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), which 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 confir-mation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
