Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
Vanguard’s seven Sector Bond Index Funds began operations on November 19, 2009. From then through February 28, 2010, the funds had returns that ranged from –1.42% for the ETF Shares of Vanguard Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund to 1.95% for the ETF Shares of Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, as measured by their net asset values. (Some of the funds also offered Institutional or Signal Shares, or both, for varying periods.) The funds’ returns differed from those of their indexes by 10 to 67 basis points as they implemented their strategies with small asset bases. As fund assets increase, we would expect these differences to narrow.
Vanguard’s new bond index funds track benchmarks that focus on discrete segments of the bond market. The options include short-, intermediate-, and long-term government bond funds; short-, intermediate-, and long-term corporate bond funds; and a mortgage-backed securities fund. The funds were designed to offer flexibility in tailoring the credit quality and duration of your portfolio’s fixed income exposure.
This semiannual report begins with a review of the financial market’s performance during the past six months, and then looks at the funds’ performance in their roughly three-and-a-half months of operation.

Yields remained low, but the Fed began to unwind rescue programs
The yields of longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds rose during the past six months, while those of the shortest-term securities remained near 0%. Although the Federal Reserve Board expects to keep its target for short-term interest rates close to 0% for “an extended period,” it began to wind down credit programs established during the financial crisis. The Fed’s most dramatic (though largely symbolic) act was to raise the interest rate at its discount window, a lending facility designed to help commercial banks and other depository institutions meet emergency short-term funding needs.
The broad taxable bond market returned 3.19%, with notable strength in corporate bonds. The broad municipal bond market returned 4.13%.
Stock markets caught their breath at the end of a solid six months
For the six months, the broad U.S. stock market returned about 10%. The rally seemed to downshift toward the end of the period, as the investor relief that powered markets higher a year ago gave way to a sober-minded assessment of the prospects for corporate earnings growth.
Smaller-capitalization stocks did a little better than larger-cap stocks, and growth-oriented securities bested their value-

oriented counterparts, but the uniformity of returns from different market segments was more striking than the differences.
International stocks produced more modest returns. In Europe, the precarious financial health of Greece and that of smaller economies such as Portugal and Ireland weighed on the markets. In Asia, the Japanese stock market’s weakness held back results for Asia Pacific indexes. Emerging market stocks continued to outpace those from developed markets.
Corporate bonds outperformed government issues in the period
Since Vanguard’s Sector Bond Index Funds began operations in November, the performance of the broad U.S. bond market has been unremarkable. During this short time, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.97%, as rising interest rates, primarily at the longer end of the yield curve, put pressure on bond prices. Six of the seven funds recorded positive results for the period, with only the Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund posting a negative return. (The Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund’s Signal Shares, which debuted only about a month before the end of the period, also had a negative return.)
During the period, intermediate-term bonds tended to outperform both their long- and short-term counterparts, and corporate bonds fared better than government bonds as investors favored higher-yielding, higher-risk investments.
Vanguard’s Sector Bond Index Funds followed suit. The Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund was the group’s top performer, returning 1.95% for its ETF Shares. Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund’s ETF Shares returned 1.55% and the Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund’s ETF Shares returned 0.81%.
Government bonds trailed the broad fixed income market for the period, as investors favored higher yields over higher quality. Still, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund and Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund posted positive results, returning 0.37% and 0.33%, respectively. The Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund returned –1.42% as rising rates pressured the prices of government bonds.
Mortgage-backed securities occupied the middle of the spectrum for the period, lagging the returns of corporate bonds

but outperforming government issues. From its inception through February 28, Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund returned 0.82%.
Sector funds offer options for portfolio diversification
Any one of the Vanguard Sector Bond Index Funds can be expected to be riskier and more unpredictable than the overall bond market. Each fund’s indexing strategy and precisely calibrated parameters make it an excellent tool for complementing a portfolio’s existing fixed income investments. If your investment plan calls for it, the funds also give you the ability to place special emphasis on a particular sector of the bond market.
The limited period covered in this report provides little meaningful information about the funds and their investment strategies. Over the long term, we’re confident that the funds can take advantage of the index fund management skills of their advisor, Vanguard Fixed Income Group, and their low costs to capture most of the returns of their designated market sectors.
On another matter, I would like to inform you that as of January 1, 2010, we completed a leadership transition that
began in March 2008. I succeeded Jack Brennan as chairman of Vanguard and each of the funds. Jack has agreed to serve as chairman emeritus and senior advisor. Under Jack’s leadership, Vanguard has grown to become a preeminent firm in the mutual fund industry. Jack’s energy, his relentless pursuit of perfection, and his unwavering focus on always doing the right thing for our clients are evident in every facet of Vanguard policy today.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,
F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares were first issued on December 28, 2009, and are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. The fund has not issued any Institutional Shares as of February 28, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and first offered to the public on November 23, 2009. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital
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.
17
Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $4,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
Investments | ($ 000) | ($ 000) | ($ 000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 25,414 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 1,526 | — | — |
Total | 1,526 | 25,414 | — |
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $26,880,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $60,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $62,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $2,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
18

E. During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund purchased $28,142,000 of investment securities and sold $4,559,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

G. In preparing the financial statements as of February 28, 2010, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. The fund has not issued any Signal Shares or Institutional Shares as of February 28, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and first offered to the public on November 23, 2009. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $3,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
28
Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
Investments | ($ 000) | ($ 000) | ($ 000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 14,800 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 231 | — | — |
Total | 231 | 14,800 | — |
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $14,989,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $42,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $55,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $13,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund purchased $18,225,000 of investment securities and sold $3,465,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

Security Valuation: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $2,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value 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).

The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
Investments | ($ 000) | ($ 000) | ($ 000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 14,415 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 380 | — | — |
Total | 380 | 14,415 | — |
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $14,920,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $125,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $17,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $142,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund purchased $15,255,000 of investment securities and sold $687,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Institutional Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and first offered to the public on November 23, 2009. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.

Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $40,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
Investments | ($ 000) | ($ 000) | ($ 000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | -- | 1,902 | -- |
Corporate Bonds | -- | 240,748 | -- |
Temporary Cash Investments | 959 | -- | -- |
Total | 959 | 242,650 | -- |
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $242,548,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,061,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,158,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $97,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account size criteria. The fund has not issued any Signal Shares as of February 28, 2010. Institutional Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and first offered to the public on November 23, 2009. ETF Shares are listed for t rading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
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: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.
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.

Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $16,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.01% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund��s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
Investments | ($ 000) | ($ 000) | ($ 000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 803 | — |
Corporate Bonds | — | 105,095 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 462 | — | — |
Total | 462 | 105,898 | — |
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $105,914,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $446,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $764,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $318,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund purchased $115,649,000 of investment securities and sold $10,836,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $13,920,000 and $13,146,000, respectively.

ETF Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and first offered to the public on November 23, 2009. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be pu rchased and sold through a broker.
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: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date
5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on purchases of capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.

Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $10,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
Investments | ($ 000) | ($ 000) | ($ 000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 30 | — |
Corporate Bonds | — | 44,186 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 573 | — | — |
Total | 573 | 44,216 | — |
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund realized $37,000 of net capital losses resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such losses are not taxable losses to the fund, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
91
Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $45,355,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $566,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $220,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $786,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund purchased $52,694,000 of investment securities and sold $8,999,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $7,128,000 and $7,096,000, respectively.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers three classes of shares: Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares. Signal Shares were first issued on December 3, 2009, and are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. All outstanding Institutional Shares were converted to ETF Shares on December 29, 2009. The fund has not issued any additional Institutional Shares as of February 28, 2010. ETF Shares were first issued on November 19, 2009, and first offered to the public on November 23, 2009. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purcha sed and sold through a broker.
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: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).
3. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund has entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the initial sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold (Other Assets) or Payables for Investment Securities Purc hased (Liabilities) in the Statement of Net Assets. The primary risk associated with mortgage dollar rolls is that a counterparty will default on its obligations to deliver purchased securities.

4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended February 28, 2010, and has concluded that no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees, if any, assessed on purchases of capital shares are credited to paid-in capital.
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, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $9,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of February 28, 2010, based on the inputs used to value them:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||
Investments | ($ | 000 | ) | ($ | 000 | ) | ($ | 000 | ) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 45,368 | — | ||||||
Temporary Cash Investments | 6,769 | — | — | ||||||

D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year.
At February 28, 2010, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $52,158,000. Net unrealized deppreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $21,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $97,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $118,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended February 28, 2010, the fund purchased $95,627,000 and sold $50,195,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:

G. In preparing the financial statements as of February 28, 2010, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
Effective July 2009, the board of trustees approved the launch of Vanguard Short-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Intermediate-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Long-Term Government Bond Index Fund, Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, Long-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund, and Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund utilizing an internalized management structure whereby the Vanguard Group, Inc.—through its Fixed Income Group—would provide investment advisory services to the funds at cost. The board determined that the investment advisory arrangement with Vanguard was in the best interest of the funds and their prospective shareholders.
The board based its decision upon an 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 investment management services to be provided to the funds and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. 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 approval of the advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board determined that, in its management of other Vanguard index funds, the Fixed Income Group has a track record of consistent performance and disciplined investment processes. Information about each fund’s performance since inception can be found in the Performance Summary pages of this report.
Cost
The board considered the cost of services to be provided and concluded that the funds’ expense ratios will be below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their peer groups. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears 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 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 after a one-year period.

Glossary
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
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.
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.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 161 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.
