Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• For the six months ended May 31, 2018, Vanguard Wellington Fund returned about a quarter of a percentage point, lagging both the return of its benchmark and the average return of its peers.
• The broadly diversified fund has about 65% of its assets invested in stocks and 35% in bonds.
• The fund’s stock portfolio returned 1.00%, lagging the 3.16% return of its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. Consumer staples, materials, energy, industrial, and real estate stocks contributed positively to the portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark. Financial, consumer discretionary, information technology, telecommunication services, and health care stocks detracted from relative performance.
• The fixed income portfolio returned –1.18%, finishing above the –1.62% return of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index. The portfolio benefited on a relative basis from strong corporate bond selection, particularly within industrials, but was held back somewhat by its positioning in other credits.

CEO’s Perspective
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-18-006395/wellingtonfundx4x1.jpg)
Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.
When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I also found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.
It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.
We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. We have lowered the costs of investing for our shareholders significantly. And we’re proud of the performance of our funds.
Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my role as CEO, I’ll keep this priority
2
front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.
Steady, time-tested guidance
Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.
Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make
Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-18-006395/wellingtonfundx5x1.jpg)

Advisor’s Report
Vanguard Wellington Fund’s Investor Shares returned 0.22% for the six months ended May 31, 2018. The fund trailed the 1.33% average return of its peers. It also trailed the 1.53% return of its benchmark, the Wellington Composite Index, which is weighted 65% large-capitalization stocks (as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index) and 35% high-quality corporate bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index). The equity portfolio underperformed its benchmark, while the fixed income portfolio outperformed its benchmark.
Investment environment
Stock markets in the United States outperformed those abroad: The S&P 500 Index returned 3.16%, while the MSCI World Index returned 2.16% and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 0.03%.
The U.S. economy continues to present a promising picture that includes multiyear lows in unemployment and healthy housing market trends. But patches of market volatility arose during the period that were likely triggered by investors’ concern about lofty equity valuations and the potential upside risks to inflation, bond yields, and Federal Reserve policy. In the United States, large-capitalization growth stocks outperformed large-cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth and Russell 1000 Value Indexes. The Fed, still following its policy of monetary tightening, raised interest rates again in March. (It did so again in June, after the close of the period under review.)
The broad fixed income markets fell during the period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned –1.04% for the six months. The higher-quality credit market performed worse: The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index returned –1.62%. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose, beginning the period at 2.41% and ending at 2.83%.
Our successes
In the stock portfolio, security selection in the consumer staples and materials sectors aided relative results. Within consumer staples, our avoidance of poorly performing benchmark constituents Procter & Gamble and Altria Group helped. In materials, our position in BHP Billiton and the elimination of our position in DowDuPont also boosted performance. In terms of sector allocation, our overweighting of energy and underweighting of real estate contributed to relative results.
Among individual stocks, our holdings in Intel, ConocoPhillips, and AstraZeneca were among the top relative contributors for the period.
Chipmaker Intel gained during the period after it seemed to resolve a security defect in its products that had come to light late in 2017. The design flaw, though broad in scope, appears to have been patched with no material impact on revenues. We remain enthusiastic about the growth prospects for Intel relative to its price and we continue to hold the stock.
4
In the fixed income portfolio, our overweighting of taxable municipals and security selection within investment-grade corporates, particularly among industrial issuers, contributed to relative performance. Security selection in the communications and consumer cyclical subsectors notably contributed. Our short duration/yield curve positioning was also a positive driver of performance. An out-of-benchmark allocation to Japanese treasury bills also aided relative performance.
Our shortfalls
In the stock portfolio, our selection was weakest in financials and consumer discretionary. Our underweighting of information technology—especially benchmark constituent Apple—detracted from relative results. Apple’s stock price benefited from strong results during the period. Although we owned Apple because of its attractive valuation, our concerns about projected sales for the iPhone X and increasing competition over the long term led us to remain underweighted in the stock. We have trimmed our position now that valuation is less attractive.
In financials, insurance was particularly weak as investors feared an increase in competition from Amazon.com’s potential entry into the industry. Also toward the end of the period, yields suffered globally from the political instability surrounding Italian elections and the formation of a new government coalition between the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the far-right League. Despite short-term negative sentiment, we remain positive on financials as the sector remains one of the most attractive on a relative price/earnings basis.
In consumer discretionary, our lack of holdings in benchmark constituents Amazon and Netflix, as well as our position in Comcast, hurt performance most. Amazon outperformed based on strong results and what we view as potentially excessive optimism about the trajectory and predictability of future profitability. Netflix continues to benefit from global subscription growth, but we believe the valuation reflects lofty expectations about the company’s ability to maintain its growth rate. Both Amazon and Netflix are high in price/earnings and are non-yielders; we feel that they do not currently match our investment philosophy and objectives.
Cable provider Comcast lagged because of concerns about its proposed acquisition of Sky, the Europe-based satellite media provider. Other factors in Comcast’s underperformance were the competitive environment and potential degradation of profitability with the disruption of linear TV viewing and the attractiveness of bundled services. Despite concerns, we continue to hold the stock as we feel that Comcast offers strong fundamentals and attractive upside potential.
On the fixed income side, our underweighting of noncorporate credit, specifically supranationals, detracted from relative performance. Among the subsectors within investment-grade
5
corporates, our overweighting of communications and underweighting of technology also hurt relative performance.
The fund’s positioning
The greatest overweightings in our equity portfolio at the end of the period were in the financial, energy, and telecommunication services sectors. We continue to believe that many stocks in the financial and energy sectors offer among the most compelling combinations of fundamental strength and attractive valuation. We believe that financial stocks remain broadly undervalued, given modest price/book ratios. The low equity returns of recent years have pushed down valuations in this sector, but banks continue to work aggressively to improve returns.
Although oil prices have moved higher, we have not seen a commensurate recovery in share prices for energy equities. We attribute this lag to skepticism about supply discipline. Our energy positions are concentrated among companies we believe have exercised production discipline in the past and exhibit a combination of responsible balance sheet management and moderate valuations that we believe provide downside protection.
Our greatest underweightings were in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples sectors—areas of the market in which we are challenged to find ideas that fit our investment style and valuation discipline. Where possible, we invest in companies that are capitalizing on disruptive
technologies or have declined excessively because of the perception of competitive challenges that the companies are able to overcome.
The market volatility we experienced over the period created several buying opportunities, which caused us to initiate more new positions and to exit more positions than we typically would. Over the six months, we added new positions in Simon Property Group, Halliburton, Sysco, TJX, AT&T, Home Depot, and Walmart. We eliminated positions in Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Walgreens Boots.
Looking ahead, we expect to see solid growth; wages are beginning to improve, interest rates are rising, and the consumer appears healthy.
We continue to rely on our process and philosophy as we construct the portfolio and adjust our positioning. We remain focused on the significance of dividends, positive capital stewardship, and franchise value. We believe we have a solid portfolio of undervalued market leaders, companies in industries with improving supply/demand trends, and strong companies that are temporarily out of favor.
On the fixed income side, we are a bit surprised by the stability of longer-term interest rates in the face of higher short-term rates, the Fed’s well-advertised plans to reduce its holdings of Treasuries and mortgage securities, and the prospects of
6
a debt-financed fiscal package intended to further stimulate growth. Offsetting these pressures, inflation remains persistently lower than most forecasts. We remain biased toward higher short-term interest rates, given the strengthening labor markets and early signs of rising wage pressures. We choose to limit our interest rate risk relative to the benchmark and to focus our higher-rate bias at the short end of the yield curve, where the Fed has the greatest influence on yields.
Credit remains the main investment focus of the portfolio and, while we are somewhat uneasy about investment-grade credit risk, we continue to find opportunities amid recent volatility and underperformance. U.S. investment-grade corporates have underperformed this year because of increased volatility, weaker overseas demand, and continued headline risk.
We have maintained our preference for adding risk in the financial and utilities sectors, which we view as attractively valued and likely to outperform when the cycle turns. Within the financial sector, we have traditionally favored the large-cap U.S. banks, given strong capitalization and exposure to tailwinds from robust housing markets and a stable consumer.
Despite the prolonged economic cycle and persistently good earnings from the corporate sector, we view the credit cycle as mature, with most of the narrowing of spreads (corporate compared with Treasury) behind us.
We continue to be disciplined in our application of our investment process, which allows us to create a balanced portfolio that we believe should perform well in a variety of environments. We remain focused on long-term, low-turnover investing—features that we believe have served the fund’s shareholders well over time.

Wellington Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Wellington 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 two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Bonds and temporary cash investments 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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is
23
Wellington Fund
the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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).
During the six months ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).
During the six months ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

Wellington Fund
5. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.
6. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters 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 typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. 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 or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Net Assets.
7. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counterparties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold, or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
25
Wellington Fund
8. 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 for all open federal income tax years (November 30, 2014–2017), and for the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
9. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
10. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled before the opening of the market on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the event of a default, the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
11. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at May 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.
12. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.
26
Wellington 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. 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. Wellington Management Company LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the fund’s performance relative to the combined index comprising the S&P 500 Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better Bond Index for the preceding three years. For the six months ended May 31, 2018, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.08% of the fund’s average net assets before a decrease of $3,208,000 (0.01%) based on performance.
C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative, marketing, distribution, and cash management services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $5,580,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.23% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D. 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.

F. 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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $81,447,742,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $22,838,539,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $23,905,854,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,067,315,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
G. During the six months ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $12,178,344,000 of investment securities and sold $13,162,704,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $7,466,546,000 and $6,166,124,000, respectively.

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 any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not 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.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2018 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
Wellington Fund | 11/30/2017 | 5/31/2018 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | | |
Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,002.22 | $1.25 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,002.65 | 0.85 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | |
Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,023.68 | $1.26 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.08 | 0.86 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for
that period are 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.17% for Admiral Shares. 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 (182/365).

Glossary
30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
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.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.
Dividend Yield. The current, annualized rate of dividends paid on a share of stock, divided by its current share price. For a fund, the weighted average yield for stocks it holds. The index yield is based on the current annualized rate of dividends paid on stocks in the index.
33
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
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.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.
34
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.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• From their February 13, 2018, inception through May 31, 2018, Vanguard’s six U.S. Factor ETFs provided returns ranging from about 4% to more than 8%. All six ETFs outperformed their benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
• The U.S. Factor ETFs seek to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks that have lower or higher measures of certain factors relative to the broad U.S. equity market.
• Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF did best among the group, returning 8.35% based on net asset value, as stocks identified as attractive from a momentum standpoint outperformed.
• Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF advanced the least, returning 4.12% based on net asset value. In terms of relative performance, both strong selection in and an overweighting of energy contributed most, while an underweighting of technology and weak selection in consumer discretionary detracted.

CEO’s Perspective
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-18-006395/usfactoretfsx6x1.jpg)
Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.
When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I also found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.
It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.
We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. We have lowered the costs of investing for our shareholders significantly. And we’re proud of the performance of our funds.
Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my role as CEO, I’ll keep this priority
4
front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.
Steady, time-tested guidance
Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.
Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make
Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services, advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-18-006395/usfactoretfsx7x1.jpg)

Advisor’s Report
From their February 13, 2018, inception through May 31, 2018, Vanguard’s six U.S. Factor ETFs posted returns ranging from about 4% to more than 8%. They outperformed the 3.10% return of their benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, for the period.
The objective of each U.S. Factor ETF is to create a portfolio that has broad exposure to large-, mid-, and small-capitalization U.S. equities and that has the potential for long-term capital appreciation, subject to rules-based screens as follows:
• Vanguard U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with lower measures of trading liquidity, such as daily trading volume and its effect on the security’s price.
• Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF seeks exposure to stocks with the potential to generate lower volatility relative to the broad U.S. equity market.
• Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with relatively strong recent performance, as identified by measures such as performance over different periods.
• Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with relatively strong recent performance, strong fundamentals, and low prices relative to fundamentals.
• Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with strong fundamentals as identified by measures such as profitability, earnings, and balance-sheet strength.
• Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF seeks exposure to stocks with lower prices relative to fundamental measures of value such as book/price and earnings/ price ratios.
The investment environment
The broad U.S. equity market advanced for the period, with small-cap stocks outperforming large-caps and growth stocks outperforming value stocks. Volatility returned after an unusually long period of calm as markets reacted to recently enacted U.S. tax cuts, trade-war jitters, and perceived inflation risks.
The Federal Reserve, under new Chair Jerome Powell, raised the federal funds target rate in March by a quarter percentage point and began signaling that it could speed up its timetable for subsequent increases. (In June, after the close of the period covered in this report, the Fed raised the rate another quarter point, to 1.75%–2%, and signaled that it could raise the rate twice more in 2018 and at least three times in 2019.)
U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 2.2% in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease from the previous quarter’s 2.9%. Nonresidential fixed investment, personal consumption, exports, and private inventory investment boosted growth, as did government spending at the federal, state, and local levels. Imports, however, slowed.
6
Small-cap companies tended to be better-positioned to benefit from the recent U.S. tax-law changes than large-caps, which can spread their tax liabilities globally. Small-caps also are likely to have less international exposure and thus be less affected by trade friction.
The outperformance of growth stocks was most pronounced within large-caps, with big information technology companies showing the strongest overall momentum Across the market-cap spectrum, the energy and technology sectors performed best. Health care did well within small-caps.
Financial services disappointed, despite expectations for rising interest rates. Market commentators have attributed this to slow loan growth.
The funds’ successes and shortfalls
Exposure to small-cap stocks drove the positive returns for all six ETFs.
Sector exposure affected the funds differently based on the factors each seeks to emphasize:
• The U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF posted positive returns in all but one sector. The lone exception, consumer staples, was nevertheless a net contributor to relative performance because of underweighting. Selection in health care and financial services most helped relative returns; an underweight allocation to technology detracted.
• The U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF experienced about 30% less annualized volatility for the period than its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index. The index was up 3.10% over the period, but given larger bouts of volatility, the fund was able to catch more of the upside.
• The U.S. Momentum Factor ETF benefited most from our selection in health care and from both our overweight allocation to and selection in the high-performing technology sector. An underweight allocation to and selection within the low-performing financial services sector also bolstered relative returns.
• The U.S. Multifactor ETF drew the biggest contributions from the quality and momentum factors, with value factors helping to a lesser extent. The consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors were the most significant relative contributors.
• The U.S. Quality Factor ETF benefited from overweight allocations to and selection within health care and technology; an underweight allocation to the high-performing energy sector detracted.
• The U.S. Value Factor ETF most benefited from an overweighting of energy, though an underweight allocation to the outperforming technology sector hurt.
We expect our approach to portfolio construction to produce long-term capital appreciation that reflects the factors emphasized by each of the U.S. Factor
7
portfolios. Not all periods will produce such favorable results across each factor. However, we believe that focusing on the risk-adjusted returns of each portfolio relative to its targeted factors and the benchmark will serve investors well over time.
We thank you for your investment and look forward to serving you in the period ahead.

U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
25
U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,556,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $473,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $697,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $224,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $8,057,000 of investment securities and sold $564,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:
| |
| February 13, 20181 to |
| May 31, 2018 |
| Shares |
| (000) |
Issued | 100 |

Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | 100 |
1 Inception. |
At May 31, 2018, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 61% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio.
G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2018, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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).
During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
36
|
U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF |
5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,566,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $450,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $641,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $191,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $9,534,000 of investment securities and sold $50,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

U.S. Momentum Factor ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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).
During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at May 31, 2018.
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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
53
U.S. Momentum Factor ETF
5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,283,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $892,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,152,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $260,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $13,136,000 of investment securities and sold $1,841,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

U.S. Multifactor ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counter-party risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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).
During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
69
U.S. Multifactor ETF
5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $2,000, representing 0.00% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $40,836,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $744,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,597,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $853,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $45,911,000 of investment securities and sold $5,121,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

U.S. Quality Factor ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset 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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, 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 employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
85
U.S. Quality Factor ETF
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,537,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $492,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $711,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $219,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $8,575,000 of investment securities and sold $1,084,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

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 vanguard.com/performance.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

U.S. Value Factor ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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).
During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
102
U.S. Value Factor ETF
5. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, representing 0.00% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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 May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $23,042,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $338,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $960,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $622,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $23,733,000 of investment securities and sold $875,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

At May 31, 2018, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 33% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio.
G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2018, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not 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.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the period from the funds’ February 13, 2018, inception through May 31, 2018. The
funds’ annualized expense ratios for that period are 0.13% for the U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF, 0.13% for the U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF,
0.13% for the U.S. Momentum Factor ETF, 0.18% for the U.S. Multifactor ETF, 0.13% for the U.S. Quality Factor ETF, and 0.13% for the
U.S. Value Factor ETF. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average
account value over the period from inception through May 31, 2018, multiplied by the number of days in that period, then divided by the
number of days in the most recent 12-month period (108/365).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements
Effective February 2018, the board of trustees of Vanguard Wellington Fund approved the launch of Vanguard U.S. Liquidity Factor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Minimum Volatility ETF, Vanguard U.S. Momentum Factor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Multifactor ETF, Vanguard U.S. Quality Factor ETF, and Vanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF, which utilize an internalized management structure whereby The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Quantitative Equity Group, provides investment advisory services to the funds. The board determined that the investment advisory arrangements with Vanguard were in the best interests 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. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. 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 four decades. The Quantitative Equity 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 arrangements.
Investment performance
The board determined that the Quantitative Equity Group, in its management of other Vanguard funds, 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 sections of this report.
Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio will be well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. Information about the funds’ expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements sections.
The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.
The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that Vanguard’s at-cost arrangement with the funds 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 arrangements after a one-year period.

Glossary
30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
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.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share.
For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
108
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 208 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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 vanguard.com.

CEO’s Perspective
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-18-006395/usmultifactorx4x1.jpg)
Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
I feel extremely fortunate to have the chance to lead a company filled with people who come to work every day passionate about Vanguard’s core purpose: to take a stand for all investors, to treat them fairly, and to give them the best chance for investment success.
When I joined Vanguard in 1991, I found a mission-driven team focused on improving lives—helping people retire more comfortably, put their children through college, and achieve financial security. I also found a company with purpose in an industry ripe for improvement.
It was clear, even early in my career, that the cards were stacked against most investors. Hidden fees, performance-chasing, and poor advice were relentlessly eroding investors’ dreams.
We knew Vanguard could be different and, as a result, could make a real difference. We have lowered the costs of investing for our shareholders significantly. And we’re proud of the performance of our funds.
Vanguard is built for Vanguard investors—we focus solely on you, our fund shareholders. Everything we do is designed to give our clients the best chance for investment success. In my role as CEO, I’ll keep this priority
2
front and center. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we’re even more excited about what’s to come.
Steady, time-tested guidance
Our guidance for investors, as always, is to stay the course, tune out the hyperbolic headlines, and focus on your goals and what you can control, such as costs and how much you save. This time-tested advice has served our clients well over the decades.
Regardless of how the markets perform in the short term, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future for our investors. We have a dedicated team serving you, and we will never stop striving to make Vanguard the best place for you to invest through our high-quality funds and services,
advice and guidance to help you meet your financial goals, and an experience that makes you feel good about entrusting us with your hard-earned savings.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.
Sincerely,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-18-006395/usmultifactorx5x1.jpg)

Advisor’s Report
Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund Admiral Shares returned 3.28% from the fund’s February 15, 2018, inception through May 31, 2018. The fund outperformed the 0.43% return of its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.
The fund seeks to create a portfolio with broad equity exposure and the potential for long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks with relatively strong recent performance, strong fundamentals, and low prices relative to fundamentals. To promote diversification and to mitigate exposure to less liquid and more volatile stocks, a rules-based screen is applied to the universe of all U.S. large-, mid-, and small-capitalization stocks. We then evaluate the remaining securities based on exposure to momentum, quality, and value factors.
The investment environment
The broad U.S. equity market advanced for the period, with small-cap stocks outperforming large-caps and growth stocks outperforming value stocks. Volatility returned after an unusually long period of calm as markets reacted to recently enacted U.S. tax cuts, trade-war jitters, and perceived inflation risks.
The Federal Reserve, under new Chair Jerome Powell, raised the federal funds target rate in March by a quarter percentage point and began signaling that it could speed up its timetable for subsequent increases. (In June, after the close of the period covered in this report, the Fed raised the rate another quarter point, to 1.75%–2%, and signaled that it could raise the rate twice more in 2018 and at least three times in 2019.)
U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 2.2% in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease from the previous quarter’s 2.9%. Nonresidential fixed investment, personal consumption, exports, and private inventory investment boosted growth, as did government spending at the federal, state, and local levels. Imports, however, slowed.
Small-cap companies tended to be better-positioned to benefit from the recent U.S. tax-law changes than large-caps, which can spread their tax liabilities globally. Small-caps are also likely to have less international exposure and thus be less affected by trade friction.
The outperformance of growth stocks was most pronounced within large-caps, with big technology companies showing the strongest overall momentum. Across the market cap spectrum, the energy and tech sectors performed best. Health care did well within small-caps.
Financial services disappointed, despite expectations for rising interest rates. Market commentators have attributed this to slow loan growth.
4
The fund’s successes and shortfalls
Exposure to small-cap stocks drove the U.S. Multifactor Fund’s advance. Quality and momentum factors provided the biggest contributions, with value factors helping to a lesser extent. Among sectors, health care and consumer staples added the most.
We expect our approach to portfolio construction to produce long-term capital appreciation that reflects the momentum, quality, and value factors emphasized by the fund. Not all periods will produce such favorable results across each factor.
However, we believe that focusing on the risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio relative to its targeted factors and the benchmark will serve investors well over time.
We thank you for your investment and look forward to serving you in the period ahead.

U.S. Multifactor Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The notional 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).
During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
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 the period ended May 31, 2018, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
5. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes,
19
U.S. Multifactor Fund
and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at May 31, 2018, or at any time during the period then ended.
6. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees, and generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At May 31, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, representing 0.00% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are
noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
At May 31, 2018, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined based on Level 1 inputs.
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.
20
U.S. Multifactor Fund
At May 31, 2018, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $31,908,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $710,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,584,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $874,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the period ended May 31, 2018, the fund purchased $36,293,000 of investment securities and sold $4,775,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
F. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

| February 15, 20181 to |
| May 31, 2018 |
| Shares |
| (000) |
Issued | 1,370 |

Redeemed | (122) |
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | 1,248 |

G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2018, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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 any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not 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.

| | | |
Period Ended May 31, 2018 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
U.S. Multifactor Fund | 2/15/2018 | 5/31/2018 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $1,032.80 | $0.53 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | 1,000.00 | 1,014.00 | 0.53 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the period from the fund’s February 15, 2018, inception through May 31,
2018. The fund’s annualized expense ratio for the period is 0.18%. The dollar amounts shown as ”Expenses Paid” are equal to
the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period from inception through May 31, 2018,
multiplied by the number of days in that period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period
(106/365).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
Effective February 2018, the board of trustees of Vanguard Wellington Fund approved the launch of Vanguard U.S. Multifactor Fund, which utilizes an internalized management structure whereby The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Quantitative Equity Group, provides investment advisory services to the fund. The board determined that the investment advisory arrangement with Vanguard was in the best interests of the fund and its prospective shareholders.
The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. This evaluation included information provided to the board by Vanguard’s Portfolio Review Department, which is responsible for fund and advisor oversight and product management. 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 fund and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than four decades. The Quantitative Equity 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 the Quantitative Equity Group, in its management of other Vanguard funds, has a track record of consistent performance and disciplined investment processes. Information about the fund’s performance since inception can be found in the Performance Summary section of this report.
Cost
The board concluded that the fund’s expense ratio will be well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group. Information about the fund’s expenses appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements section.
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 Vanguard’s at-cost arrangement with the fund ensures that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, 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
30-Day SEC Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
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.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share.
For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
25
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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 208 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. 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 vanguard.com.
