The mission continues
On May 1, 1975, Vanguard began operations, a fledgling company based on the simple but revolutionary idea that a mutual fund company should be managed solely in the interest of its investors.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
Since late 2008, the Federal Reserve’s target for short-term interest rates has remained between 0% and 0.25%, a historically low figure that has resulted in minuscule returns for money market funds and savings accounts. The six months ended February 28, 2015, were no exception.
Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.00% for Investor Shares and 0.03% for Institutional Shares, which have a lower expense ratio. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund also each returned 0.00%.
The funds’ 7-day SEC yields were about what they were six months ago. As of February 28, yields for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, Federal Money Market Fund, and Investor Shares of the Prime Money Market Fund were unchanged at 0.01%. The yield for the Prime Money Market Fund’s Institutional Shares increased to 0.07% from 0.05%.
Bonds notched positive results despite early and late retreats
The broad U.S. taxable bond market returned 2.25%, although bond prices declined over the period’s first and final months. When the stock market turned volatile, investors favored the relative safety offered by bonds, which also benefited from various global stimulus programs.
2
Conversely, bond prices fell in February as the Fed suggested that a midyear interest rate increase was an option if the economy continued to perform well. The yield of the 10-year Treasury note ended February at 2.03%, down from 2.34% six months earlier. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
Municipal bonds, which returned 2.21%, lost some steam toward the end of the period amid increased bond issuance and the prospect of higher interest rates.
International bond markets (as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index ex USD) returned –9.54%, weighed down by the weakness of foreign currencies relative to the dollar. International bonds hedged to eliminate the effect of currency exchange rates produced positive returns.
A surge in February powered U.S. stocks for the period
U.S. stocks performed solidly but unevenly over the six months. Despite declines in two of those months and flat returns in another, the broad U.S. stock market ended the period up about 6%.
The overall return was powered by a robust advance in February, when the broad market recorded its largest monthly gain since October 2011. Investors were cheered by stabilization in oil prices and guidance from the Federal Reserve that it wouldn’t raise interest rates prematurely.

International stocks returned about –3% in dollar terms. The dollar’s strength against many foreign currencies, along with various geopolitical issues, restrained results. Stocks in emerging markets and the developed markets of the Pacific region and Europe backtracked, with emerging markets faring the worst. In local currency terms, though, international stocks rose.
Safety and liquidity remain top priorities for the funds
Although any interest rate changes hinge on the economy’s progress, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it may begin raising short-term interest rates later this year. Chairwoman Janet Yellen and other Fed officials have discussed the improve-ments in the economy and labor market, and the Fed ended its stimulative bond-buying program in October.
The funds’ negligible returns have no doubt discouraged investors, many of whom have traditionally counted on such investments for a degree of income. Of course, providing income is one of the portfolio’s objectives, but it comes third in line behind providing safety and liquidity. To that end, Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group manages the funds conservatively and invests primarily in money market securities that are rated in the two highest credit-quality categories (as determined by nationally recognized credit-rating services).

U.S. government securities are the focus of the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund and Federal Money Market Fund and also represent a significant portion of the Prime Money Market Fund. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States and are widely embraced whenever economic and market conditions rattle investors. The Federal Money Market Fund holds federal agency securities, which maintain nearly the same credit quality as securities issued by the U.S. government.
About a year ago, the Treasury launched a two-year floating-rate note, which the Fixed Income Group originally included in the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund. With the notes available at bargain prices over the recent period, the advisor bought them for all three funds, with the objective of adding value to the portfolio.
Yankee/foreign issues are the Prime Money Market’s Fund largest single investment. These securities, denominated in U.S. dollars to eliminate currency risk, are from highly rated foreign issuers and do not include financial paper from economically troubled countries in southern Europe.
As we noted in last year’s annual report, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of changes to money market regulations.
In response to the new rules, which in the future may allow a fund to impose liquidity fees and redemption limits if weekly liquid

assets fall below 30%, the Fixed Income Group increased the Prime Money Market’s minimum percentage of weekly liquid assets to 40% to provide an additional buffer.
The vast majority of investors in Vanguard money market funds will not be affected by the changes. Although some rules must be implemented sooner, the compliance date for the core reforms is in autumn 2016, which gives investors time to find alternatives if they wish. We will report to you again as we work through the implications of these changes for our clients and our lineup of funds.

To build for the long term, start with a solid foundation
As the leader of a major investment firm, I get asked a lot of questions on all kinds of topics, from the outlook for global markets to the best fund choices for an IRA. But a topic that almost never comes up—and one that I consider perhaps the most important—is setting investment goals.
At Vanguard, we believe that following four timeless, straightforward principles can help put you on the right track toward investment success:
• Goals. Create clear, appropriate
investment goals.
• Balance. Develop a suitable asset
allocation using broadly diversified funds.
• Cost. Minimize cost.
• Discipline. Maintain perspective and
long-term discipline.
All four are essential, and the order in which they’re listed is intentional. Every good investment plan begins with a clearly defined goal, which sets the foundation for building your portfolio. (You can read more in Vanguard’s Principles for Investing Success, available at vanguard.com/research.)
Setting an investment goal doesn’t have to be complicated. A goal can be as simple as saving for retirement or for a child’s college education. Being realistic about your goals—and how to meet them—can help you stick with your investment plan even when times get tough.
In many parts of the United States, it’s been an especially bitter and challenging winter, but spring is now upon us. The change of seasons can be an occasion for some financial spring cleaning. Consider taking time now to revisit your investment plan, ensuring that your objectives are clear, and making any necessary adjustments to help you reach your long-term financial goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report
The extremely low interest rate environment that has prevailed since the financial crisis has made it very difficult for money market funds to deliver much in the way of income. Our funds have nevertheless continued to offer investors a conservative, high-quality, very liquid investment for their short-term savings goals or cash management needs.
For the six months ended February 28, 2015, Investor Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.00%, while Institutional Shares, with their lower expense ratio, returned 0.03%. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund both returned 0.00%. The average return for the peer groups of all three funds was 0.00%.
The investment environment
Over the six months, the United States remained on a different trajectory than much of the world. The Eurozone and Japan continued to grapple with anemic growth and deflationary pressures, and China saw its pace of economic expansion shift down a gear. Their central banks responded with interest rate cuts and quantitative easing aimed at reversing those trends.
In contrast, the U.S. economy continued expanding at a good clip. The United States saw sustained growth in the labor market along with an upturn in consumer confidence. The improvements paved the way for the Federal Reserve to bring its stimulative bond-buying program to a close at the end of October.
Longer-term yields nevertheless continued to move lower. Risk-averse investors, seeking a safe harbor from volatility driven by geopolitical tensions, stepped in and helped counter slackening demand from the Fed. International investors also were increasingly attracted to U.S. bonds, given their comparatively high yields and the strong dollar.
Although forward guidance from the Fed about an eventual increase in interest rates helped yields of short-term bonds move a little higher over the six months, yields of money market instruments remained at rock-bottom levels.
Management of the funds
Over the six months, we expanded our use of a relatively new offering from the U.S. Treasury Department—the 2-year floating-rate note. We began putting these notes, which trade at a spread to 3-month Treasury bills, in the Admiral Treasury Fund last year with an eye to adding some diversification to its holdings. As the pricing of these notes became more attractive, we included them in the Federal and Prime Money Market Funds as well.
In the Prime Money Market Fund, debt issued by Canadian and Australian banks remained an important avenue of diversification in our regional exposure to banks. Our ongoing credit analysis brought Japanese banks back onto our radar screen for the first time in decades because of the improvements we’ve seen in their fundamentals. On the other hand, we remained very selective regarding
7
European banks because of the challenges and uncertainty in the region. At the end of the period, our exposure here was limited to the debt of banks in the United Kingdom and a handful of northern European countries.
Regarding corporate debt in the Prime Money Market Fund, we increased our exposure to commercial paper of some large, high-quality oil and gas companies. Plunging oil prices prompted energy companies to issue short-term debt, as they occasionally do, giving us an opportunity to further diversify the portfolio.
We are continuing to review the changes announced last year by the Securities and Exchange Commission to regulations governing money market funds. Although many of the changes do not take effect until October 2016, our funds already meet or exceed some of the new criteria. In the Prime Money Market Fund, for example, weekly liquidity is running at about 40% of assets, notably higher than the 30% level below which liquidity fees or redemption gates could be applied in the future.
And more than 99.5% of the assets of the Admiral Treasury and Federal Money Market Funds are invested in cash, government securities, or repurchase agreements collateralized by government securities and cash, so they already meet the SEC’s new definition of a government money market fund. (The requirement previously was 80%.)
The outlook
We expect the U.S. economy to remain resilient amid the global slowdown and to continue its moderate expansion. Even though the slump in oil prices has dampened inflation, the Federal Reserve seems likely to look past the recent weakness in prices and raise the federal funds rate later this year from the emergency level it’s been at since 2008.
Although a rate increase will be a welcome development for savers and our money market funds, the pace of monetary tightening is likely to be slow, and the target rate may end up below its historical average. A rise in rates will probably bring greater market volatility as well.
As we enter the second half of the fiscal year, the average maturities of the funds are a little shorter than they were six months ago. That should give us the flexibility to invest in higher-yielding longer-term maturities if good opportunities arise.
As always, whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to seek out opportunities to produce competitive returns.

A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for
debt obligations by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's,
Fitch, and S&P. For securities rated by all three agencies, where two of them are in agreement and assign the highest rating
category, the highest rating applies. If a security is only rated by two agencies, and their ratings are in different categories, the
lower of the ratings applies. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as
determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

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.

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. 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. 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 enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counter-parties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under 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. 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 counter-party’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.
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, 2011–2014), and for the period ended February 28, 2015, 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 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 0.06% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board
25
Prime Money Market Fund
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 equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2015, or at any time during the period then ended.
6. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At February 28, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $12,395,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 4.96% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Vanguard and the board of trustees have 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. For the period ended February 28, 2015, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $8,126,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets).
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 February 28, 2015, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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.

A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for
debt obligations by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's,
Fitch, and S&P. For securities rated by all three agencies, where two of them are in agreement and assign the highest rating
category, the highest rating applies. If a security is only rated by two agencies, and their ratings are in different categories, the
lower of the ratings applies. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as
determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.
1 The expense ratio shown is from the prospectus dated December 19, 2014, and represents estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the six
months ended February 28, 2015, the annualized expense ratio was 0.09%, reflecting a temporary reduction in operating expenses (described in
Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements). Before this reduction, the expense ratio was 0.11%.

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. 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. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. 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. 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 counter-party’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.
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, 2011–2014), and for the period ended February 28, 2015, 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 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 0.06% 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 equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2015, or at any time during the period then ended.

6. 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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At February 28, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $275,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.11% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Vanguard and the board of trustees have 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. For the period ended February 28, 2015, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $298,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.02% of the fund’s average net assets).
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 February 28, 2015, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2015, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for
debt obligations by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody's,
Fitch, and S&P. For securities rated by all three agencies, where two of them are in agreement and assign the highest rating
category, the highest rating applies. If a security is only rated by two agencies, and their ratings are in different categories, the
lower of the ratings applies. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as
determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.
1 The expense ratio shown is from the prospectus dated December 19, 2014, and represents estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the six
months ended February 28, 2015, the annualized expense ratio was 0.03%, reflecting a temporary reduction in operating expenses (described in
Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements). Before this reduction, the expense ratio was 0.09%.

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. 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. 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, 2011–2014), and for the period ended February 28, 2015, 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group participate in a $2.89 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 0.06% 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 equal to the higher of the federal funds rate or LIBOR reference rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at February 28, 2015, or at any time during the period then ended.
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 based on methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to invest up to 0.40% of its net assets in Vanguard. At February 28, 2015, the fund had contributed capital of $934,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.37% of Vanguard’s
46
Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund
capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard. Vanguard and the board of trustees have 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. For the period ended February 28, 2015, Vanguard’s expenses were reduced by $2,909,000 (an effective annual rate of 0.06% of the fund’s average net assets).
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 February 28, 2015, 100% of the market value of the fund’s investments was determined 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. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to February 28, 2015, 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 are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.14% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Institutional Shares; for the Federal Money Market
Fund, 0.09%; and for the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.03%. The annualized six-month expense ratios for the Prime Money Market
Fund Investor Shares, the Federal Money Market Fund, and the Admiral Treasury Money Market Fund reflect a temporary reduction in

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. For Vanguard money market funds, the Distribution by Credit Quality table includes tier ratings for consistency with SEC Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which governs money market funds. A First Tier security is one that is eligible for money market funds and has been rated in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. For securities rated by all three agencies, where two of them are in agreement and assign the highest rating category, the highest rating applies. If a security is only rated by two agencies, and their ratings are in different categories, the lower of the ratings applies. An unrated security is First Tier if it represents quality comparable to that of a rated security, as determined in accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7.
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.
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.

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 178 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.
