CHAIRMAN'S LETTER | |
Dear Shareholder, | |
Short-term interest rates continued to rise during the six months ended February 28, 2005, which was good news for money market investors. All four Vanguard Money Market Funds saw their annualized yields rise by roughly 1 percentage point during the fiscal half-year. |
As the table below shows, each fund returned more than the average for its peer group. Because six months is such a short time frame, the table also presents returns for the past 12 months. Here, too, our funds outpaced their average peers. The share price of each fund held steady at $1, as is expected but not guaranteed. |
YIELDS ROSE FOR SHORT- AND INTERMEDIATE-TERM BONDS
During the past six months, investors tried to digest and act on conflicting information: generally positive economic indicators but relatively modest job growth; surging commodity prices but modest inflation for most other goods and services; and a falling U.S. dollar that was seen as either a boon or a bane to the economy, depending on the pundit. |

However, one thing remained constant: The Federal Reserve Board continued its gradual shift in monetary policy, moving away from its “accommodative” stance of keeping interest rates very low. Feeling the economy was on the right track, but wanting to preempt any surge in inflation, the Fed raised its target for the federal funds rate (the interest rate charged for overnight loans between banks) four times by 25 basis points (0.25 percentage point) during the six months, bringing the target rate to 2.50%. |
Short-term securities and, eventually, intermediate-term bonds felt the ripples. The yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill, a proxy for money market yields, rose 117 basis points during the fiscal half-year to end at 2.75%. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note rose 26 basis points to 4.38%. However, yields of longer-term bonds, which are determined far more by market forces than by Fed moves, were lower at the end of the period than at the beginning. |

With price declines partly offsetting interest income, the total return of the overall taxable investment-grade bond market (as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index) was a modest 1.3%. Below-investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Lehman High Yield Index, returned 7.5%, as investors' appetite for yield kept these higher-risk securities' prices aloft. Municipal bonds generally outpaced their taxable peers even before factoring in their tax advantages. |
STOCKS SURGED AFTER THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
In aggregate, stocks moved higher, particularly after it was clear that November's presidential election was not going to reprise the protracted 2000 contest. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, a proxy for the broad U.S. equity market, posted a strong six-month return of 11.6% |

As they have for the past five years, mid- and small-capitalization stocks outpaced large-caps. Among the latter, value stocks--those whose prices are low relative to company earnings, book value, or other measures--generally outperformed their growth counterparts, but the trend was reversed among small-caps. Returns were positive across industry sectors, with energy-related stocks notching the highest results, boosted in part by crude oil prices that stayed above $40 a barrel through most of the period, at one point reaching a record of nearly $56. |
In overseas markets, stock returns were generally superior to those seen in the United States. And the returns abroad were further augmented for U.S.-based investors by the weakness of the U.S. dollar, which reached multiyear lows relative to other major currencies near the end of calendar 2004. |
RISING YIELDS IMPROVED MONEY MARKET RETURNS
The 6- and 12-month returns of the Vanguard Money Market Funds were in line with those of the Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 0.9% and 1.4% for the respective periods. That is no mean feat, given that theoretical indexes incur none of the real-world operating expenses that mutual funds must bear. |
Prudent money management by the funds' investment advisor, Vanguard's Fixed Income Group, coupled with Vanguard's low costs, has resulted in our funds' outpacing their average competitors not just during the half-year, but over the long run as well. Because managers of money market funds with similar objectives generally fish from the same pond, costs are especially crucial. The expense ratios for our funds--meaning their operating costs as a percentage of average net assets--are typically a fraction of the averages for their peer groups. (For more information, see pages 13 and 14.) This means more of the funds' gross returns go into your pocket. |
Topping the peer-group returns is gratifying, but with yields having risen over the past several months and possibly more increases ahead, our money market shareholders can hope to be rewarded with higher absolute returns as well. For much of the past four years, short-term interest rates were stuck at levels not seen since 1962 or earlier. The table on page 4 compares our funds' annualized yields on February 28 with their yields 6 and 12 months earlier. It's important to keep in mind that, when it comes to money market funds, current yields are a better predictor of future performance than past returns. |

REMEMBER THE GOLDEN MEAN
Whether interest rates are rising or falling, money market funds can have a valuable role in any portfolio, providing stability of principal and the liquidity to meet short-term needs, along with a modest income. That said, they should not be your only investments. Portfolios diversified across asset classes--including stocks and bonds--have historically provided the kind of returns that can better meet long-term financial objectives. |

If some investors were irrationally exuberant in the late 1990s, overloading on stocks before the bear market of 2000–2002, others might have been overly cautious since then, overloading on bonds or cash and thereby missing out on the stock rally that followed. In a world that constantly vacillates between excesses, it helps to keep in mind the wisdom of the ancient philosophers: The ideal is found in the mean between extremes. |
Financially, a balanced portfolio with an asset allocation suitable for your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance is the best course. Such a portfolio will let you partake of the rewards of the best-performing assets while mitigating the risks of the worst-performing assets. For those interested in how to construct a balanced portfolio, Vanguard.com provides many interactive and easy-to-use tools. |

ADVISOR’S REPORT | |
During the past six months, the Vanguard Money Market Funds benefited from the consistent rise in short-term interest rates. At the start of the period, the annualized yields of all four funds were below 1.50%; at the end of the first half of fiscal 2005, yields ranged from 2.10% for Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund to 2.49% for the Institutional Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund. All the funds produced higher returns than their peer-group averages. |
THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
The Federal Reserve Board’s steady hikes in the federal funds rate were the major theme in the fixed income markets. In four separate actions, the Fed raised its target rate to 2.50%, from 1.50% at the start of the period. Among long-maturity bonds, the impact was limited. (In fact, the yield of the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond declined slightly.) But the Fed’s actions reverberated through the short and intermediate portions of the yield curve. The yield of the 3-month Treasury bill, which started the period at 1.58%, finished the fiscal half-year at 2.75%. |
We expect further rate increases over the course of 2005. The Fed has clearly stated that its goal is to move the federal funds rate from an accommodative level to a neutral level, though neutral is an ambiguous target that varies over time. Policy makers can be sure they’ve reached neutral only when they receive confirmation in the form of sustainable economic growth without inflationary pressure. |
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. |
Rising rates have been good news for money market investors. For several years, yields have been very low. Adjusted for inflation, in fact, money market instruments have been hovering at generational lows. The Fed’s recent hikes have begun to push yields back toward more normal levels. |
5
OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH
During the six months, we maintained shorter-than-average maturities in Vanguard Prime and Federal Money Market Funds to take advantage of rising rates. By investing in securities with shorter maturities, we can reinvest the proceeds more frequently and, in a rising rate environment, at more attractive rates. |
In the Treasury and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds, by contrast, we maintained longer-than-average maturities. We adopted this approach because of the steepness in the Treasury yield curve, which made longer-maturity securities more attractive, even amid rising rates. |
As always, the Prime Money Market Fund maintained broad diversification across issuers with superior credit-quality characteristics. We continued to have significant weightings in Treasuries and securities issued by government agencies, as well as in highly rated liquid bank obligations. |
In the Federal Money Market Fund, we maintained broad diversification across agency issuers. We also held a sizable position in Treasuries to enhance the quality and liquidity of the portfolio. |
We should note that prudent portfolio management is only one contributor to our record of strong performance relative to peer funds. Low costs are another. High costs can absorb a significant portion of the return produced by money market instruments. Low costs are critical to delivering outperformance. |

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS | |
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 2/28/2005 | 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 performance data current to the most recent month-end, 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." |
• | 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 |

*The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.29% for Investor Shares and 0.08% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.29%; for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.29%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.12%. 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. |

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 on page 13 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. |

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 fiscal quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third fiscal 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. |

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(TM)Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund's net asset value. |
2. | Repurchase Agreements: The Prime Money Market and Federal Money Market Funds, may invest 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: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Yorktown 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, 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 February 28, 2005, 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 | $6,461 | 0.01% | 6.46% |
Federal | 725 | 0.01 | 0.72 |
Treasury | 604 | 0.01 | 0.60 |
Admiral Treasury | 1,840 | 0.01 | 1.84 |
The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
