Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
During the six months ended February 28, money market yields continued to rise along with the Federal Reserve Board’s rate hikes. This was welcome news for money market investors, as the annualized SEC yields of all four Vanguard Money Market Funds rose by about 1 percentage point during the half-year period.
Because six months present an incomplete picture of investments typically evaluated on the basis of their annualized yields, the table on page 1 also presents returns for the past 12 months, during which each fund likewise either matched or outperformed its respective peer group. The share price of each fund held steady at $1, as is expected but not guaranteed.
Unusual interest rate patterns reflected two views of inflation
In the U.S. bond market, long-term interest rates held relatively steady. Short-term rates rose sharply, as the Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy in an effort to defuse any near-term inflationary threats. The relative stability of long-term rates was consistent with Fed comments and the market consensus that long-term inflation pressures remain contained.
These unusual interest rate dynamics put pressure on the broad fixed income market, although it enhanced the returns of the shortest-term securities, such as 3-month U.S. Treasury bills.
2
Stock markets rose worldwide, with the biggest gains overseas
During the first half of the 2006 fiscal year, global stock markets reprised patterns that have characterized the investment environment in recent years: reasonably strong returns from the broad U.S. market, better performance from that market’s smaller companies, and a powerful rally in international stocks. Returns were particularly strong in the Pacific region, where the Japanese stock market appears to have awakened from a 15-year slumber.
Money market returns increased with rising yields
During the past six months, the Fed, feeling the economy was on the right track but wanting to preempt any surge in inflation, raised its target for the federal funds rate four times, to 4.50%. Throughout the Fed’s rate-hike campaign, the 6- and 12-month returns of the Vanguard Money Market Funds adhered closely to those of the Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 1.8% and 3.3%, respectively.
For the funds this was no mean feat, given that indexes bear none of the real-world operating expenses that mutual funds do. The experience and expertise of Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group, the funds’ investment advisor, have helped our funds to match or outpace their average competitors for both the 6- and 12-month periods. The funds’ managers are aided in their efforts by the funds’ low expense ratios, which are typically far below the average expense ratios for their peer groups.

While the ratings environment has been relatively stable, the funds' investment advisor remains vigilant to credit risk, emphasizing broad diversification among securities in the highest short-term ratings category. For the Prime Money Market Fund, another important strategy has been to maintain a shorter average maturity, which permits the fund to reinvest maturing issues more frequently. This allows the fund's yield to more closely approximate current market rates.
For the Treasury Money Market Fund, by contrast, the advisor has maintained a longer average maturity. The steepness in the short-term portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve has made somewhat longer-term holdings more attractive than the shortest maturities.
The table below compares our funds' annualized yields on February 28 with their yields 6 and 12 months earlier. When it comes to money market funds, it's important to note that current yields are a better predictor of future performance than are past returns.
Keep in perspective your overall asset allocation
Money market funds can play a valuable role in any portfolio, providing stability of principal and the liquidity to meet short-term financial needs, regardless of whether interest rates are rising or falling. That said, money market funds should not be your only investments, since by virtue of their holdings, their long-term growth potential is limited.

A sensible approach includes not only money market funds but also stock and bond funds—assets that have historically provided the kind of returns that can better meet your long-term financial objectives. Overall, a balanced portfolio with an asset allocation suitable to your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance is the best course.
Prudent investors know that time is their greatest ally in reaching their financial objectives. Maintaining a well-diversified portfolio can help you reap the rewards of the best-performing assets while muting the risks of the worst-performing ones over time.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

John J. Brennan

Advisor’s Report
During the past six months, returns of the Vanguard Money Market Funds ranged from 1.8% for the Treasury Money Market and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds to 2.0% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund. All the funds matched or exceeded their peer-group averages for the period.
The investment environment
Despite the impacts of rising interest rates, soaring energy prices, and Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. economy continued to expand at a respectable clip, allowing the Federal Reserve Board to continue its measured rate-tightening campaign. The Fed’s actions boosted the yields of money market securities. At the end of February, the funds’ annualized yields were about 1 percentage point higher than their levels six months earlier and roughly 2 percentage points higher than their yields a year ago.
Other developments in the money markets included a decline in U.S. Treasury bill issuance, which increased the volatility of Treasury bill yields relative to other money market securities. The decline resulted from tax receipts that were stronger than anticipated and a budget deficit that was smaller than anticipated. The increase in tax receipts most likely reflected temporary developments, such as tax-law changes that resulted in a one-time repatriation of corporate profits held overseas. We expect Treasury bill issuance to increase again in 2006.
In addition, the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) trimmed their investment portfolios, reducing their funding needs. The subsequent reduction in the outstanding supply of short-term agency discount notes caused the yields of these securities to decline relative to other money market securities.
Commercial paper issuance showed signs of growth, reflecting strength in the economy and increased capital spending.
The management of the funds
As usual, we kept a careful eye on credit risk, emphasizing broad diversification among issuers and tilting each portfolio toward the highest-quality securities in its category. In the Prime Money Market Fund, we shifted some assets into Treasury and agency securities and maintained our position in highly rated liquid bank obligations. In the Federal Money Market Fund, we held a sizable position in Treasuries to enhance the portfolio’s quality and liquidity.
In the Prime and Federal Money Market Funds, we maintained a shorter-than-average maturity, which allowed us to reinvest maturing issues more quickly. In a rising rate environment, this strategy allows the funds’ yields to more closely approximate steadily increasing market rates. In the Treasury Money Market Funds, by contrast, we maintained longer-than-average maturities to take
6
advantage of the steepness of the Treasury bill yield curve. This steepness—the difference between the yields of shorter- and longer-term Treasury bills—reflects supply and demand dynamics that don’t exist in the markets for commercial paper, bank certificates of deposit, and other money market instruments.
We should note that our portfolio management decisions are just one contributor to our 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.

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 fund more closely than do the average annual returns.

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 February 28, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $6,325,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 6.32% 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 fund 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 February 28, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $647,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.65% 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 fund more closely than do the average annual returns.

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 fund 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. 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. 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 February 28, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $1,638,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.64% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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 on page 50 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 50 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.

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, 0.29% for Investor Shares and 0.09% 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. |

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.
51
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.
