Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
Since our last report to you, yields of money market securities have remained abysmally low, and nonexistent in many cases. Although it is cold comfort for Vanguard investors, the returns of our money market funds have outpaced their peer-group averages, thanks largely to Vanguard’s low-cost structure.
Our money market funds have continued to function well as a stable and liquid haven for investors, even as many gritted their teeth about next-to-nothing yields. Indeed, investors have provided evidence that they value what we offer: While industry-wide money market assets fell by about 20% over the difficult past year, the assets of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund—one of the largest in the industry as of August 31, according to Strategic Insight Simfund—declined by only 5%. The asset declines were greater for our Federal and Admiral Treasury Money Market Funds, but these funds have been closed to new investors for more than a year.
Behind the scenes, industry practice was in the process of change. Money market funds are now implementing new federal requirements—stemming from the financial crisis—that are aimed at making them less susceptible to financial market disruptions by increasing liquidity, transparency, and credit quality. The requirements, which are being phased in throughout 2010, don’t affect the Vanguard funds’ traditional approach to conservative, high-quality
2
investing. Perhaps the most notable change, from our point of view, requires funds to reduce the weighted average maturity of their assets from a maximum of 90 days to a maximum of 60 days. This new rule may curtail yields a bit, but it also enhances liquidity.
Bonds produced strong returns; the Fed kept short-term rates low
The source of money market funds’ low yield is Federal Reserve policy. Since December 2008, the Fed has kept its target for short-term interest rates in the historically low range of 0% to 0.25%. This policy, an effort to bolster the economy by making borrowing easier, has kept a tight lid on the returns available from U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, and other money market instruments.
At the longer end of the yield spectrum, however, the economic uncertainty and high stock market volatility over the fiscal period created a favorable environment for fixed income investments. Europe’s sovereign-debt crisis fueled fears of another global financial shock, and persistently high unemployment and downward revisions to U.S. economic indicators suggested that the powerful rebound in corporate earnings could be at risk.
The broad taxable bond market returned more than 9%, as investors sought shelter in Treasury and corporate bonds. The municipal bond market returned a bit more. In both markets, much of the total return came from rising bond prices. The flip side

of rising prices, of course, is shrinking yields, which can set the stage for lower future returns.
A ragged 12-month climb in global stock markets
At the start of the fiscal year, stock markets moved higher as global economies continued to pull out of the deep downturn. Within a few months, however, optimism began to fade in the face of an apparent downshift in the U.S. economy and scrambling among European governments to avoid default on the debt issued by some of Europe’s weaker economies.
This alternating pattern of hope and fear persisted through the period’s final months. The net result for the fiscal year was mid-single-digit gains in the broad U.S. stock market. International stocks returned about 3%, as modest declines in developed markets in Europe and the Pacific region were offset by a strong rally in emerging markets.
The slow pace of recovery has held down interest rates
The Vanguard money market funds’ fiscal year started around the time that economists believe the Great Recession hit bottom. Many expected short-term interest rates to begin climbing sometime in 2010, when the Fed presumably would begin raising its target rate to guard against inflationary growth. This in turn would lift the returns offered by money market mutual funds.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010, the funds’ expense ratios were: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.23% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.22%; and for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.14%. Peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2009.

Instead, economic growth has been stubbornly slow. To many, it now seems likely that the Fed will not raise short-term rates until 2011 or even later. The negligible returns of money market funds, including Vanguard’s, have therefore barely budged during the fiscal year, as you can see in the table on page 1.
During the 12 months ended August 31, the Admiral Treasury and Federal Money Market Funds returned 0.03% and 0.04%, respectively, while the Prime Money Market Fund’s Investor Shares returned 0.08%. The Institutional Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund returned a bit more, 0.22%, because of their lower expense ratio.

Fixed income investors endured increased uncertainty during the latter part of the fiscal year when Greece appeared to be on the verge of defaulting on its bonds. Although Greece is a small economy, the episode triggered anxiety about the fiscal soundness of other European countries and their banks. The Prime Money Market Fund’s investments include U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit issued by foreign banks. As with all of the investments made by our money market funds, these holdings are closely monitored by our team of experienced credit analysts, whose primary focus is on maintaining the portfolio’s high quality.
A long-term perspective highlights low costs’ benefits
Economic ups and downs are par for the course, although the past couple of years admittedly have tested the outer bounds of normalcy. A constant throughout changing economic environments has been the superior performance of the Vanguard money market funds. You’ll find the long-term record in this report on each fund’s Performance Summary pages, which provide returns for each of the past ten years. The funds have consistently outpaced the average returns of their peer-group competitors. The table on page 5 shows these ten-year returns on an average annual basis.

Much of the credit goes to the team of portfolio managers and credit analysts in Vanguard Fixed Income Group. Their considerable skills are complemented by our funds’ historically low expense ratios. High-cost funds pass along less of their earnings to their shareholders, and their managers may be tempted to invest in riskier securities to overcome the drag on performance created by greater costs.
A diversified mix of assets can underpin long-term growth
Money market mutual funds can play an important role in your financial picture primarily because of their stability and liquidity. But the potential for meaningful long-term growth can best be produced by a portfolio that also includes diversified holdings of stocks and bonds.
Of course, there’s no one “right” mix of stocks, bonds, and money market assets. This is a decision that should be determined by your unique goals, time horizon, and appetite for risk. Stocks provide the potential for long-term growth. At the same time, money market and bond funds can help cushion the stock market’s downward swings. A balanced and diversified portfolio of these asset classes can go a long way toward helping you meet your financial goals.
As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2010, the three Vanguard Money Market Funds produced low levels of returns. As you know all too well by now, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy has pushed the yields of short-term assets to exceptionally low levels. In the final month of fiscal 2010, the central bank’s rate-setting committee chose once again to retain its 20-month-old target of 0%–0.25% for short-term lending rates, saying the target would stay in place “for an extended period.”
In this historically unusual environment, the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund returned 0.03%; the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.04%; and the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.08% for Investor Shares and 0.22% for Institutional Shares, which have a lower expense ratio. Of course, until the Fed reverses course, we must expect returns to remain low.
The investment environment
Financial difficulties in Greece reached a crescendo in the spring as the yield on Greek bonds soared. The heavily indebted country clearly needed a rescue package. As Eurozone leaders struggled to reach a consensus on the appropriate course of action, Greece’s troubles spawned doubts about the bonds of other European governments.
During this period of uncertainty, our credit team did an outstanding job reassessing risks as conditions evolved. We paid particular attention to banks, which have a long history of investing in government debt and represent a significant portion of the Prime Money Market Fund’s assets. Based on our analysis, we adjusted the fund’s exposure to a number of European issuers. These assets were redeployed into other investments, such as Canadian and Australian banks, which had little exposure to troubled Eurozone debt. As in past periods of heightened uncertainty, we prefer to watch from the sidelines rather than stay in the game.
Eventually, Eurozone leaders assembled a rescue package that helped stabilize financial conditions. Although most measures of financial market conditions appear to have improved, we remain cautious.
Because of uncertainties surrounding the recovery from the Great Recession, we have maintained larger-than-usual weightings in Treasury obligations in both the Prime and Federal Money Market Funds since early 2008. Our Treasury holdings have also helped us meet new liquidity requirements, which are among the revised regulations issued this year by
8
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for all money market mutual funds in the wake of the financial crisis.
For both funds, we increased the use of floating-rate debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which outperformed government-agency discount notes. The two funds also entered into term repurchase agreements, which were collateralized with U.S. government agency securities. These tactics further aided in our repositioning of the Prime Money Market portfolio.
The regulatory environment
We are continuing to implement the new rules for money market funds that were mandated by the SEC and described in our February letter. These changes are designed to strengthen the industry by raising liquidity and credit-quality standards and providing greater transparency.
The rules, now being phased in, will be fully effective in 2011. Among the requirements are revised maturity limits, including a maximum average weighted maturity of 60 days. For the Prime Money Market Fund, for example, the average weighted maturity dropped from 74 days on August 31, 2009, to 58 days on August 31, 2010. The shorter average weighted maturity will trim our funds’ yields incrementally.
While money market funds across the industry are coming to grips with new standards, we haven’t altered our conservative approach toward managing your assets. We will continue to seek high-quality investments and to thoroughly vet each one of them with the help of an experienced staff of top-notch credit analysts.

Prime Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in specific industries, particularly financial services; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in such industries. The fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Institutional Shares are designed for institutional 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. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2007–2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
5. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $20,008,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 8.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Beginning in July 2009, Vanguard and the board of trustees agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time.

Prime Money Market Fund
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The fund’s investment in Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund is valued based on Level 1 inputs. All of the fund’s other investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

E. On October 7, 2008, the board of trustees approved the fund’s participation in a temporary program introduced by the U.S. Treasury to guarantee the account values of shareholders in a money market fund in the event the fund’s net asset value fell below $0.995 and the fund’s trustees decided to liquidate the fund. The program covered the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. To participate, the fund was required to pay a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008, for coverage through December 18, 2008. In December 2008, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through April 30, 2009, and the fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. In March 2009, the U.S. Treasury extended the program through September 18, 2009, and t he fund’s trustees approved the fund’s continuing participation in the program at a cost of an additional 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008.
F. In preparing the financial statements as of August 31, 2010, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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

Federal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Repurchase Agreements: The fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2007–2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
5. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $1,153,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 0.46% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Beginning in July 2009, Vanguard and the board of trustees agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time.
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).
38
Federal Money Market Fund
At August 31, 2010, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.
D. In preparing the financial statements as of August 31, 2010, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

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

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (August 31, 2007–2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the first business day of the following month.
4. Other: Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At August 31, 2010, the fund had contributed capital of $3,562,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.02% of the fund’s net assets and 1.42% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Beginning in July 2009, Vanguard and the board of trustees agreed to temporarily limit certain net operating expenses in excess of the fund’s daily yield so as to maintain a zero or positive yield for the fund. Vanguard and the board of trustees may terminate the temporary expense limitation at any time.
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).
At August 31, 2010, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are considered to be valued using Level 2 inputs.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund
D. Effective August 11, 2009, the fund acquired all the net assets of Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the fund’s board of trustees. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of one share of the fund for each share of the Treasury Money Market Fund outstanding on August 11, 2009. The Treasury Money Market Fund’s net assets on August 11, 2009 were $6,138,800,000. The net assets of the fund immediately before the acquisition were $19,955,141,000. The net assets of the fund immediately following the acquisition were $26,093,941,000.
E. In preparing the financial statements as of August 31, 2010, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard Money Market Reserves and Vanguard Admiral Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets, the statement of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) at August 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus (the fee does not apply to the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares or the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund). If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.” The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund | $1,000.00 | $1,024.50 | $0.71 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.22% for Investor Shares and 0.09% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market Fund, 0.21%; and for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.14%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, and Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Fixed Income Group—serves as the investment advisor to the funds. The board determined that continuing the funds’ internalized management structure was in the best interests of the funds and their shareholders.
The board based its decision upon an evaluation of the advisor’s investment staff, portfolio management process, and performance. The trustees considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangement. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board considered the quality of the funds’ investment management over both the short and long term, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has been managing investments for more than three decades. The Fixed Income Group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.
The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted continuation of the advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of the funds, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance of relevant benchmarks and peer groups. The board concluded that the funds have performed in line with expectations, and that their results have been consistent with their investment policies. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary pages of this report.
Cost
The board concluded that the funds’ expense ratios were well below the average expense ratios charged by funds in their respective peer groups and that the funds’ advisory expense ratios were also well below their peer-group averages. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report.
The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard, because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.
The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the funds’ low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after a one-year period.

Glossary
SEC Yields. A money market fund’s 7-day SEC yield is calculated by annualizing its income distributions for the previous seven days, as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Average Weighted Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security.
Credit Quality. The credit ratings assigned to fixed income securities are an indicator of risk. They represent a rating agency’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. For this report, credit-quality ratings for each issuer are obtained from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s. Issuer long-term ratings are mapped to each issue, and the lower rating is used. Unrated securities are determined to be of comparable quality to a rated security in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
55
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 163 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

At the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting, services and fees would be presented to the Audit Committee for formal consideration, and, if appropriate, approval by the entire Audit Committee. The Audit Committee would again consider whether such services and fees are consistent with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
The Registrant’s Audit Committee is informed at least annually of all audit and non-audit services provided by the principal accountant to the Vanguard complex, whether such services are provided to: (1) the Registrant; (2) The Vanguard Group, Inc.; (3) other entities controlled by The Vanguard Group, Inc. that provide ongoing services to the Registrant; or (4) other registered investment companies in the Vanguard Group.
