Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, yields of money market instruments rose in lockstep with the Federal Reserve Board’s continued increases in short-term interest rates. Total returns ranged from a low of 2.1% for the Treasury Money Market Fund to a high of 2.5% for the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares1. Compared with the average results for their mutual fund peers, the returns of the Vanguard Money Market Funds were excellent.
The table on page 1 presents the total returns of our money market funds along with the peer-group averages. The table also shows each fund’s annualized SEC yield as of August 31. Each fund met 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.
In the bond market, yields defied expectations
In the fixed income market, short-term interest rates rose sharply while longer-term rates declined, an unusual pattern. Since June 2004, the Federal Reserve Board has steadily boosted its target for the federal funds rate in an effort to preempt inflationary pressures. During the 12 months, the yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill, which closely follows the Fed’s moves, rose from 1.58% to 3.50%.
1 This class of shares carries even lower expenses than the Investor Shares and is available for a minimum investment of $5 million.
2
In several prior rate-boosting cycles—1984, 1988, and 1994—the yields of long-term bonds also followed the Fed’s lead. During the 2005 fiscal year, however, long-term yields fell. Because bond prices move in the opposite direction from yields, this unexpected “flattening of the yield curve” meant weak total returns for shorter-term bonds and stronger returns for longer-term securities. Corporate bonds outperformed government issues, and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a measure of the broad investment-grade bond market, returned 4.1% for the 12 months.
Stocks staged a stealth rally
During the fiscal year, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, a broad measure of U.S. stock prices, returned 15.9%, with periods of pronounced gains punctuated by stretches of weakness. Smaller stocks outpaced their larger counterparts, and international stocks, particularly those from emerging markets, delivered outstanding returns.
As oil prices touched all-time highs, energy-related stocks were, not surprisingly, among the best performers. (It’s worth noting that, in inflation-adjusted terms, energy prices remained well below their early-1980s peaks.) Financial services and auto-industry stocks were among the weaker performers. Banks and other lenders contended with a tricky interest rate environment, while the well-publicized financial woes of the auto giants and their suppliers weighed on their share prices.

The funds’ yields followed the Fed’s moves
As the Federal Reserve increased its target for short-term rates during the fiscal year, the yields of the Vanguard Money Market Funds followed steadily along. As I previously noted, each of the funds topped the average return of its peer group for the 12 months.
The variance in the funds’ returns primarily reflects incremental differences in risk exposure and cost within this group of low-risk, low-cost funds. Our largest fund, the Prime Money Market Fund, represents one end of the risk/reward spectrum. This fund typically invests more than half of its assets in high-quality, short-term corporate issues. Because corporate securities are viewed as riskier than government securities, they generally pay higher yields. (For the owners of Prime Institutional Shares—which require an initial investment of $5 million—the returns are enhanced even further by economies of scale that dramatically lower their operating costs.)
At the other end of the spectrum are the Treasury and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds. Both funds invest only in Treasury bills or other securities backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. government—securities that are viewed as virtually risk-free and therefore are typically the lowest-yielding money market instruments. In the middle is the Federal Money Market Fund, which seeks to improve on the returns of an all-Treasury portfolio by investing in securities that—while of high quality—need not be backed by the government’s full faith and credit.
During the fiscal year, the funds’ advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, kept the portfolios’ maturities relatively short,

positioning the funds to take prompt advantage of the higher yields paid by newly issued securities in the period.
The Treasury money market funds were an exception to this positioning. The advisor maintained longer average maturities in these portfolios to take advantage of the relatively large gap between shorter- and longer-term rates.
The table on page 4 shows the increases in the funds’ yields over the year.
The funds’ long-term performance has been excellent
Over time, the Vanguard Money Market Funds have delivered outstanding performance, an achievement that reflects two important factors: the investment-management skills of our Fixed Income Group and the funds’ extremely low expenses. The portfolio managers in the Fixed Income Group have demonstrated an ability to select the best mix of securities matching each fund’s investment mandate. The funds’ consistently low costs historically have meant that more of their returns went into shareholders’ accounts. (For more information on the funds’ expenses, see page 4.) In fact, as the table on page 6 shows, long-term investors in any of our money market funds would have fared better than investors in the corresponding average peer funds.
The table on page 6 shows the average annual returns for our funds and their average peers for the ten years ended August 31, 2005. It also shows the growth of hypothetical $10,000 investments in each ($50,000 for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund; $5,000,000 for the Prime Money Market Institutional Shares). In each case, our money market fund would have produced a higher total return than its average peer.
Diversification is essential in a wise investment plan
In investing, the key to reaching your destination is to carefully choose a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market mutual funds that fits your goals, your time horizon, and your tolerance for risk. Such a balanced portfolio allows you to participate in the rewards offered by each asset class and helps mitigate the effects of the downturns that inevitably occur. Money market funds can play a special role within your portfolio, providing long-term diversification as well as a ready source of liquidity for short-term financial obligations.
5
Maintaining an emphasis on balance, steadiness, and a long-term plan can help you reach your financial goals. If you keep your investment expenses low and hold fast to a long-term investment program, you’ll be well positioned to experience steady growth.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.

Advisor’s Report
During the 12 months ended August 31, 2005, the Vanguard Money Market Funds generated returns ranging from 2.1% for the Treasury Money Market Fund to 2.5% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund.
The investment environment
During the past year, the yields of money market instruments climbed from all-time lows as the Federal Reserve Board steadily boosted its target for the federal funds rate. In June 2004, just before the start of fiscal year 2005, the Fed’s target was 1.00%. At the end of August 2005, the figure stood at 3.50%. The yields of the Vanguard Money Market Funds followed suit, rising from a little more than 1% at the start of the period to more than 3% at the close.
Fed officials have stated that even after the past year’s tightening,“the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative.” The Fed has not signaled any imminent change in its monetary strategy, and some analysts believed that the central bank would continue to boost short-term rates at its “measured pace” of 25-basis-point increments. (It did just that on September 20, a few weeks into our new fiscal year.)
The management of the funds
In both the Prime and Federal Money Market Funds, we maintained shorter-than-average maturities. This meant we could reinvest maturing issues more frequently, allowing the funds to benefit from the ongoing rise in market interest rates. In the Treasury Money Market Fund, by contrast, we maintained a longer average maturity to take advantage of the relative “steepness” of the U.S. Treasury yield curve—a spread between shorter- and longer-term Treasury bill yields that, in our opinion, makes a longer average maturity advantageous. We employed the same strategy for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund.
While both Treasury funds were invested exclusively in Treasury bills, in the other two funds we maintained broad diversification across money market instruments with superior credit quality. In the Prime Money Market Fund, we held Treasury and agency securities as well as highly rated and liquid bank obligations. In the Federal Money Market Fund, we held a broad selection of agency issues while diversifying into Treasuries to enhance the quality and liquidity of the portfolio.
7
Supply constraints have caused the spreads between various asset classes—Treasury bills and commercial paper, for example—to widen. The rate of Treasury bill issuance has declined because tax receipts have been stronger—and the budget deficit smaller—than anticipated. The supply of agency discount notes has also declined, reflecting reduced demand for short-term funding from government-sponsored enterprises (known as GSEs). In an environment of relatively wide interest rate spreads, we tend to favor higher-yielding assets such as bank certificates of deposit and commercial paper that adhere to our strict credit-quality and liquidity guidelines. We generally seek to add more Treasury and agency securities when spreads tighten.

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 investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million.
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 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: The 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 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 the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2005, the fund had contributed capital of $6,227,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 6.22% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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. (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 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 annualized yields shown reflect the current earnings of the funds 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.
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 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: The 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 is accrued daily. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
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 the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2005, the fund had contributed capital of $664,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.66% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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. (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 fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

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. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
4. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, Vanguard Treasury 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, Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) at August 31, 2005, 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, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period. The table at right illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
1. 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.”
2. 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 on page 49 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.

Admiral Treasury | 1,000.00 | 1,024.55 | 0.66 |
1 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, 0.30% for Investor Shares and 0.10% 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 six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees renew advisory arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, Treasury Money Market Fund, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor for 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 its most recent 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 over both short- and long-term periods and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than two decades. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985 and oversees more than $620 billion in assets (stocks and bonds). Robert F. Auwaerter, principal in charge of the Fixed Income Group, has been in the investment management business since 1978. 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 of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board noted that the funds have performed in line with expectations, and that their results have been consistent with their investment strategies. Information about the funds’ performance, including some of the data considered by the board, can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.
Cost
The funds’ expense ratios were far below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups. The funds’ advisory fees were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios 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 of trustees concluded that the funds’ low-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
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.

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 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.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
