Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• For the 12 months ended August 31, 2017, Investor Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.83%, while Admiral Shares, with their lower expense ratio, returned 0.89%. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 0.57% and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund returned 0.54%. The results for all three funds exceeded the average returns of their peer groups.
• During the 12 months, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate three times, pushing its target range to 1%–1.25%. It also signaled it would begin trimming its $4.5 trillion balance sheet.
• The period also coincided with the final implementation of new money market regulations. Under the rules, all three funds covered by this report seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share.
• Toward the end of the period, the funds made portfolio moves that helped insulate them from a spike in rates that occurred in the wake of a debt-ceiling debate.

Chairman’s Perspective
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0000932471-17-005531/mmreservesx5x1.jpg)
Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Since mid-August we’ve been reaching out to you about the proposals put forth by the Vanguard funds that, if approved, will enable us to manage the funds more efficiently and effectively. As the November deadline for voting approaches, I’d like to offer some perspective on a few of the proposals that I believe are important to the way Vanguard operates and manages your investments. I hope you consider this information and promptly cast your ballot.
Your biggest advocate
The main driver for this proxy solicitation is to ask all our fund shareholders to elect a full slate of trustees who oversee each U.S.-based Vanguard mutual fund. These trustees serve an important role, making sure your funds are managed in your best interests. This includes monitoring fund performance, approving advisory agreements, and ensuring that we’re keeping your investment costs as low as possible. Simply put, they are your biggest advocate.
Each trustee brings a variety of skills and professional experiences that contribute to the board’s strength and diversity.
Of the 12 nominees, nine currently serve on the board, and three are new. If elected, the new board would include ten independent members, meaning they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds apart from any investments they may choose to make as private individuals.
3
These are the proposed new trustees:
• Sarah Bloom Raskin is a former member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and former deputy secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department. She is an expert in cybersecurity—a critically important issue at Vanguard, as we place a premium on protecting clients’ assets and sensitive data.
• Deanna Mulligan is chief executive officer of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. It’s rare to find a CEO such as Deanna who leads a company with a mutual ownership structure similar to Vanguard’s.
• Tim Buckley is president and a director of Vanguard and will succeed me in January as CEO. (I’ll remain chairman for a period to be determined by the board.) I interviewed Tim when he applied for his first job here in 1991 and again when he was graduating from Harvard Business School. I was thrilled he picked Vanguard as a place to build his career, and I’ve been delighted to see him take on several leadership positions, including as head of our Retail Investor Group, chief information officer, and chief investment officer. I can think of no one better prepared to succeed me.

Vanguard believes that diversity of thought, background, and experience, as well as diversity of personal characteristics, meaningfully contributes to the board’s ability to effectively serve shareholders. If Sarah and Deanna are elected, women will account for 40% of the board’s independent trustees.
I should note that even as Vanguard is nominating three new board members, we’re saying goodbye to trustee Rajiv Gupta. Rajiv was a legendary CEO of Rohm and Haas Co., and Vanguard and our clients have benefited greatly from his expertise. I wish him a happy retirement.
Summarizing the proposals
Among the trustees’ leading responsibilities is overseeing the funds’ internal and external investment advisory agreements. The trustees, in consultation with our Global Investment Committee and our Portfolio Review Department, choose the investment advisors that manage client assets. Over decades, we have built a strong track record of picking advisors whose portfolio management strategies have served clients well.
Two proposals in the proxy focus on this oversight responsibility. Shareholders of 48 Vanguard funds have already voted to allow the board to make external advisor changes without obtaining prior shareholder approval. The new proposals would extend that policy across our entire U.S.-based fund lineup and expand it to include internal advisory agreements with Vanguard subsidiaries. Eliminating the need for shareholder approval removes a step that is costly and time-consuming if done frequently or on an individual fund basis. Although there are no current plans to employ the policy on any Vanguard-managed funds, standardizing it enables the trustees to retain an advisory firm to diversify a fund’s management team or ensure management continuity should a contingency arise.
I also encourage shareholders of several specific Vanguard index funds to read the proxy proposals that affect those funds. One proposal would change the investment objective of Vanguard REIT Index Fund and Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund REIT Index Portfolio to include real estate-related securities, aligning the funds with updated industry-sector classification methodology. Another proposal seeks to change the diversification status of the REIT Index Fund to enable it to better track its benchmark. Finally, we seek your approval of the Funds’ Service Agreement for Vanguard Institutional Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Total Stock Market Index Fund. If approved, this arrangement would then be standardized across Vanguard’s entire publicly available U.S. mutual fund lineup. It should also reduce costs and minimum initial investment requirements in select share classes.
5
At the ballot box
We hope you’ll make it a priority to cast your ballot. We want to avoid the added time and cost of soliciting sufficient votes should we not obtain a quorum by the shareholder meeting on November 15, when voting concludes. Ultimately, we believe the proposals I’ve discussed are in your best interest as Vanguard fund shareholders, and the trustees recommend that you vote in favor of them.

As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2017, Investor Shares of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund returned 0.83%, while Admiral Shares, with their lower expense ratio, returned 0.89%. Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund returned 0.57% and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund 0.54%. The results for all three funds exceeded the average returns of their peer groups.
The investment environment
The period began with a wave of optimism, as investor attention turned from disappointing economic results in early 2016 to stronger-than-expected third-quarter GDP. That enthusiasm gained momentum in the wake of the U.S. presidential election as investors anticipated benefits from the new administration’s policy initiatives focused on tax reform, infrastructure spending, and greater deregulation. That fueled a shift to riskier assets, propelling many bellwether stock indexes to record highs in early 2017.
The Federal Reserve also acknowledged the economy’s strength. In December, it raised the federal funds target rate by a quarter percentage point—only the second increase in a decade. Although 2017 got off to a slow start, it picked up in the spring as consumers opened their wallets and the unemployment rate continued to grind lower. Those developments most likely played a large part in the Fed’s further raising of rates in March and June, which pushed its target range to 1%–1.25%. Those moves, along with the establishment of a framework for trimming its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, took the Fed closer to normalizing monetary policy after its emergency intervention in the wake of the Great Recession.
Inflation measures, on the other hand, disappointed. Annualized core inflation, which had been running at or above 2%, softened a little. In response, the Fed scaled back its 2017 inflation forecast but still expected inflation to move closer to its 2% target over the medium term. Further tightening in the labor market should help, although wage gains have been modest. Continued weakness in the dollar also could eventually feed through to higher prices.
Abroad, many major central banks including the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank remained in accommodative policy mode as they struggled to balance growth and inflation concerns. Even with a weaker U.S. dollar, comparatively low yields across many developed markets kept U.S. bonds attractive to international investors.
The period concluded on an uncertain note, with investors fretting about a possible U.S. government shutdown over a debt-ceiling debate. Because the Fed’s rate moves were telegraphed in advance, the market responded with a measured increase in short-term rates. But the unexpected rhetoric around the debt-ceiling debate led to a sell-off in short-term bonds, causing their yields to spike as your fund’s fiscal year came to a close.
7
The yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury note increased 66 basis points over the period, to 0.99%. The 2-year yield jumped 52 bps to 1.33%. On the longer end of the curve, the 10-year yield rose 54 bps to 2.12% and the 30-year yield rose 50 bps to 2.73%.
Management of the funds
The start of the fiscal year coincided with final implementation of new money market regulations. In the run-up to the final compliance deadline in October 2016, more than $1 trillion in assets industrywide moved to government money market funds from prime money market funds; that led spreads to widen between short-term government securities and bank certificates of deposit.
In the weeks before the compliance deadline, we took steps to prepare for the volatility, including maintaining the funds’ liquidity in excess of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission targets and shortening the weighted average maturity. These measures allowed us to provide maximum safety and liquidity. The volatility associated with final implementation has since dissipated.
Throughout the period, we added to the Prime Money Market Fund’s exposure to floating-rate securities. These debt instruments reset, typically every month, at prevailing interest rates. They performed well as the Fed raised rates, generating a large portion of the fund’s returns. We continued to purchase high-quality bonds, such as short-term corporate and bank debt. Some of those bonds were from non-U.S. companies, enhancing the fund’s diversification.
We followed a similar strategy with the Federal Money Market Fund, increasing its exposure to floating-rate agency securities, and with the Treasury Money Market Fund, adding to its floating-rate Treasury securities; these moves allowed us to generate incremental yield while maintaining the funds’ short maturity profiles. We also continued to add to the Federal Money Market Fund’s Treasury exposure.
Across all three funds, as the debt-ceiling debate heated up, we sold Treasuries that were vulnerable to related market volatility. We reallocated those proceeds to other Treasury securities. We are closely monitoring any debt-ceiling developments that may occur later this year that could affect the markets.
A look ahead
Absent any external shocks, the U.S. economy is set to continue on its trajectory of modest but steady growth, with real GDP expanding by about 2% in 2017. The pace could pick up a little next year depending on the timing and size of any fiscal stimulus the government may enact.
We agree with the Fed’s assessment that the recent disinflation is transitory and that we will see consumer prices gradually rise through 2019. The Fed is likely to remain patient and cautious,
8
however, in carrying out monetary tightening. Some Fed officials have indicated they would favor waiting for inflation to reach or even modestly exceed 2% for some time before moving to raise rates more quickly. That could mean we won’t see another rate hike until the second half of 2018, especially if the Fed begins reducing its balance sheet later this year.

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. The fund is only available to retail investors (natural persons). You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. 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 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. Effective December 2015, Institutional Shares were renamed Admiral Shares.
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, 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 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, 2014–2017), 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 (“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.
26
Prime Money Market Fund
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at August 31, 2017, 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.
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. 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. 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 August 31, 2017, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $6,121,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.45% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 in order 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. The fund is not obligated to repay this amount to Vanguard. For the year ended August 31, 2017, the fund did not receive an expense reduction from 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.
27
Prime Money Market Fund
At August 31, 2017, 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.

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. The fund is only available to retail investors (natural persons). You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. 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, 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.
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, 2014–2017), 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 (“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 August 31, 2017, or at any time during the period then ended.
41
Federal Money Market Fund
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. 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. 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 August 31, 2017, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $4,851,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.94% 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 August 31, 2017, 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 August 31, 2017, that would require 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. The fund is only available to retail investors (natural persons). You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. The fund’s 7-day SEC yield reflects its current earnings more closely than do the average annual returns.

Treasury Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard 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, 2014–2017), 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 (“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 August 31, 2017, 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. 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. 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.
51
Treasury Money Market Fund
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At August 31, 2017, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $983,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.39% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, 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 in order 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. The fund is not obligated to repay this amount to Vanguard. For the year ended August 31, 2017, the fund did not receive an expense reduction from 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 August 31, 2017, 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 August 31, 2017, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of 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 Treasury Money Market Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets 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 and Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Money Market Reserves) and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Admiral Funds) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) as of August 31, 2017, 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 as of August 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, 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 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.

Treasury Money Market Fund | $1,000.00 | $1,024.75 | $0.46 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for
the period are: for the Prime Money Market Fund, 0.16% for Investor Shares and 0.10% for Admiral Shares; for the Federal Money Market
Fund, 0.11%; and for the Treasury Money Market Fund, 0.09%. 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 (184/365).

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangements
The board of trustees of Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund, and Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund has renewed each fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard), through its Fixed Income Group. The board determined that continuing each fund’s internalized management structure was in the best interests of the fund and its 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 Portfolio Review Department met regularly with the advisor and made monthly presentations to the board during the fiscal year that directed the board’s focus to relevant information and topics.
The board, or an investment committee made up of board members, also received information throughout the year through advisor presentations. For each advisor presentation, the board was provided with letters and reports that included information about, among other things, the advisory firm and the advisor’s assessment of the investment environment, portfolio performance, and portfolio characteristics.
In addition, the board received monthly reports, which included a Market and Economic Report, a Fund Dashboard Monthly Summary, and a Fund Performance Report.
Prior to their meeting, the trustees were provided with a memo and materials that summarized the information they had received over the course of the year. They also considered the factors discussed below, among others. However, no single factor determined whether the board approved the arrangements. Rather, it was the totality of the circumstances that drove the board’s decision.
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The board reviewed the quality of each fund’s investment management services over both the short and long term and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. The board considered 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 each advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board considered the short- and long-term performance of each fund, including any periods of outperformance or underperformance compared with a relevant benchmark index and peer group. The board concluded that the performance was such that each advisory arrangement should continue. Information about each fund’s most recent performance can be found on the Performance Summary pages of this report.
57
Cost
The board concluded that each fund’s expense ratio was well below the average expense ratio charged by funds in its peer group and that each fund’s advisory expenses were also well below its peer-group average. 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 each fund’s at-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 arrangements again after a one-year period.
58
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.
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 195 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.
