President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
The yield of your fund reacts quickly to changes in short-term interest rates. And, as I’m sure you are painfully aware from your review of the returns that our money market funds have delivered, during the fiscal six months ended February 28, 2009, the Federal Reserve drove short-term rates rapidly lower as one element of its plan to shore up the ailing financial system.
In this difficult environment, the Vanguard Money Market Funds served shareholders well: They continued to be a convenient source of high-quality, liquid assets that steered clear of questionable Wall Street products that have contributed to the financial world’s crisis of confidence.
A historic financial crisis, continuing deep recession, and a slump in stock prices not seen since the 1930s have produced a rush by investors to accumulate assets perceived to be both liquid and free of credit risk. Treasury securities have topped the list by far. The strong demand has led to lower yields on these securities, another factor affecting the yields of our funds.
At Vanguard, the flight to quality and liquidity has produced a steady inflow of cash into our money market funds, especially our Treasury funds. Because this can affect existing investor accounts by further reducing already-low yields, in January, we closed our Admiral Treasury and Treasury Money Market Funds to new accounts. In March, just after the close of the fiscal period, the maximum additional
2
investment in these funds for current individual shareholders was reduced to $10,000 per day, per account, and institutional investors—including participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans—were no longer permitted to make additional purchases.
During the fiscal period, we elected to participate in the U.S. Treasury’s temporary guarantee program for money market funds, which, unless extended, is set to expire on April 30. (For details, see page 7.) Although the rock-solid credit quality of our money market funds has never been compromised—and we do not believe that our money market funds will ever need support—our funds agreed to participate in the Treasury’s program because we believed that our participation would help stabilize the credit markets in general and, therefore, would benefit all investors in money market funds.
Investors sought refuge in low-yield, but liquid, Treasuries
In the wake of the September collapse of Lehman Brothers, a leading Wall Street investment bank, credit markets deteriorated globally—a painful reminder of how intertwined markets have become and of how important trust is to keep them functioning. Lacking confidence, investors continued to seek the relative safety and liquidity of U.S. Treasury securities, driving prices up and yields down—the yields on short-term Treasury bills dropped briefly into negative territory—and producing two of the worst months ever for corporate bond returns, in September and October.

After several aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury—including lowering the target for the federal funds rate to a range of 0% to 0.25%—signs of a thaw began to emerge. January and February, for example, were the most active months for the issuance of investment-grade corporate bonds since 1995. Against this backdrop, the broad taxable bond market returned almost 2% for the six month period, while tax-exempt bonds were about flat.
Stocks fell steeply and broadly amid credit woes and slow growth
Stocks began the fiscal half-year inauspiciously and continued to decline as tight credit maintained its grip on business and major economies slipped into recession. Neither landmark programs to bolster financial institutions nor the $787 billion economic stimulus package signed into law in February served to boost investor confidence, which was already badly shaken after the U.S. stock market suffered its second-worst calendar-year performance ever.
For the six months ended February 28, U.S. equities overall returned about –42%. International stocks returned about –45%; emerging markets, which had boomed in recent years, were hit especially hard. The declines across the globe were notable for their speed, breadth, and magnitude. Volatility also increased dramatically, to levels not seen since the 1930s. For example, the period encompassed not only four of the worst but also two of the best U.S. trading days since 1928 (based on percentage losses and gains).

A declining yield environment underscores the role of lower expenses
The yields of Vanguard’s money market mutual funds declined during the just-ended fiscal half-year, in response to Federal Reserve policy and investor demand for the safest of securities. For example, as of February 28, the Investor Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard’s largest money market fund, yielded 1.15%, about half their yield of six months earlier.
Our two Treasury funds showed the steepest decline in yields, reflecting the frantic demand for Treasury securities. As of February 28, the Treasury Money Market Fund’s yield was 0.26% (down from 1.67% six months earlier), and the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund’s yield was 0.53% (versus 1.80%).
As yields have dropped lower, our low-cost structure—Vanguard funds have among the lowest costs in the industry—has become increasingly important. The math is simple: The lower a fund’s expenses, the less is deducted from a fund’s return and the more of that return is available for its shareholders. The cost advantage of Vanguard’s money market mutual funds is a key reason for their peer-beating returns during the period, as you can see in the table on page 4. The funds also outpaced the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, a theoretical construct bereft of operating costs.

To benefit from low costs, of course, a fund must have excellent management. Despite the frustratingly low yields produced by all money market mutual funds, your advisor—the Vanguard Fixed Income Group—has successfully navigated a money market environment that has presented historically unusual and difficult challenges. Your advisor was aided by the astute analysis provided by our credit team, which led our money market funds (and other Vanguard funds) to avoid new Wall Street creations, such as structured investment vehicles, that have proved to be detrimental to the soundness of the nation’s financial system.
A well-balanced portfolio can help even in tough times
As demonstrated over the last six months—and, indeed, throughout the nation’s financial crisis—the direction of the financial markets is outside of anyone’s control. But you can “control the controllables.”
For your money market fund, this means ensuring prudent management of such essential fund characteristics as credit quality, diversification, maturity, and liquidity. Such prudent management and our emphasis on low operating costs have allowed the Vanguard Money Market Funds to meet their objectives of preserving principal and liquidity while providing competitive returns.
For investors, taking control means developing a well-balanced portfolio that can include stocks, bonds, and money market assets in a mix that reflects their objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance, and sticking with it. We’ve found that such an approach, which includes a periodic rebalancing of your portfolio when market forces throw your asset mix off track, has benefited long-term investors, even in turbulent markets.
As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,
F. William McNabb III
President and Chief Executive Officer

Details about the Treasury Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds
The Vanguard money market funds are participating in the U.S. Treasury’s temporary guarantee program, which provides a guarantee to money market fund shareholders based on the number of shares they owned at the close of business on September 19, 2008. Some details of the program:
• Any increase in the number of shares that an investor held after the close of business on September 19 will not be guaranteed.
• If a customer closes his or her account in the fund, any future investment in the fund will not be guaranteed.
• If the number of shares an investor holds fluctuates over the period, the investor will be covered for either the number of shares held as of the close of business on September 19, or the current amount, whichever is less. The program will expire on September 18, 2009, unless it is extended.
• Please note: During the six months ended February 28, 2009, all Vanguard money market funds participated in the Guarantee Program. In early April, Vanguard Treasury, Admiral Treasury, and Federal Money Market Funds, which were invested exclusively in government-backed securities at the end of March, chose to discontinue their participation after April 30.

Advisor’s Report
During the six months ended February 28, 2009, the four Vanguard Money Market Funds produced returns ranging from 0.51% for the Treasury Money Market Fund to 1.16% for the Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund.
The investment environment
The recession deepened during the fiscal period, and spread around the globe. Balance sheets of financial institutions were impaired by significant losses stemming from illiquid positions in asset-backed and subprime-mortgage securities. The laws of supply and demand played out daily in the financial markets as institutions burdened with undesirable assets struggled to find liquidity. These dysfunctional markets led to lower prices, and relief came only when the federal government stepped in as the buyer of last resort.
The Federal Reserve has driven the federal funds target rate virtually as low as it can. This benchmark for short-term rates, which started the fiscal half-year at 2.00%, stood at a historic low of between 0% and 0.25% at the end of the period. The Fed inflated its balance sheet by buying assets, including highly rated commercial paper, and providing much needed liquidity to some of the highest-quality sectors in the market. The Fed also said it would consider purchasing U.S. Treasury securities in an effort to keep long-term interest rates from rising. In mid-March, after the end of the funds’ fiscal period, the Fed announced it would begin purchasing U.S. Treasury securities.
The management of the funds
Shortly after the financial crisis began in the summer of 2007, we began to build significant positions in the Prime Money Market Fund in Treasury and government agency securities. While these securities have less attractive yields than short-term corporate debt, their credit quality and liquidity characteristics are compelling reasons to continue to own them during these challenging times.
One of the most significant events during the past half-year was the federal government’s placement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship and its commitment to provide additional funding to support their operations—thus strengthening the relationship between Fannie and Freddie and the government. These and other measures that made the two institutions integral to the government’s efforts to support the housing market increase our confidence in their ability to weather the current storm.
Closing the Treasury funds
In managing the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund and the Treasury Money Market Fund, we faced an unusual set of challenges. Despite record sales of Treasury securities, demand routinely exceeded the available supply, driving
8
some yields into negative territory. At first, this was a shock, but negative and super-low yields soon became routine.
Faced with the challenges posed by the extraordinary demand for Treasuries, we took steps to mitigate the risk to you. We aggressively managed cash flows into the funds to keep a host of potentially temporary investors from diluting our existing shareholders’ returns.
Ultimately, the Federal Reserve lowered its federal funds target to the rock-bottom 0%–0.25% range. Short-dated Treasury bills—the bulk of the two funds’ holdings—rarely trade above the federal funds target.
In response to this new reality, we chose to take steps that would allow us to continue to offer superior products to our long-term Vanguard shareholders. We knew that if we could reduce the funds’ cash inflows, we could target our reinvestment activity to periods when yields typically peak each week. In January, we closed the two funds to new investors, and later, just after the end of the fiscal period, we closed the funds to existing institutional investors, meaning they could no longer make additional purchases of fund shares. These were difficult decisions. But, in the environment we faced, they were necessary to maintain the quality of the funds for current investors.
The investment outlook
The Federal Reserve has announced that the federal funds rates will remain low for an extended period of time. We expect the Fed to continue this stance throughout 2009 and probably through 2010.
To take advantage of the steepness of the money market yield curve, we are maintaining a longer average maturity in the funds. We also expect to maintain significant positions in both Treasury and agency securities in the Prime Money Market Fund to limit the overall credit risk of that investment portfolio.

Performance Summary
Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. (For details on the fund’s participation in the U.S. Treasury’s temporary guarantee program, please see the note on page 7.) The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings 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 service 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended August 31, 2005–2008) and for the period ended February 28, 2009, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s 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 is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 28, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $30,473,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 12.19% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

D. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At February 28, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
E. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decide to liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008.

Performance Summary
Investment returns will fluctuate. All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the fund. (Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data cited. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit our website at www.vanguard.com/performance.) The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. (For details on the fund’s participation in the U.S. Treasury’s temporary guarantee program, please see the note on page 7.) The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Federal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended August 31, 2005–2008) and for the period ended February 28, 2009, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s 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 is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 28, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $3,087,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 1.23% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
34
Federal Money Market Fund
At February 28, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
D. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decide to liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009. The fund’s trustees elected to discontinue the fund’s participation in the program effective April 30, 2009.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended August 31, 2005–2008) and for the period ended February 28, 2009, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s 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: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At February 28, 2009, the fund had contributed capital of $6,919,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.03% of the fund’s net assets and 2.77% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At February 28, 2009, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund
D. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decide to liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009. The fund’s trustees elected to discontinue the fund’s participation in the program effective April 30, 2009.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus (the fee does not apply to the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares or the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund). If such a 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, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

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, 0.28% for Investor Shares and 0.13% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.27%; for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.27%; for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.14%. 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.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
Yield. A money market fund’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 157 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at www.vanguard.com.
