CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-05-001023/brennanfinal.gif)
Dear Shareholder,
During the first six months of its 2005 fiscal year, Vanguard STAR Fund navigated choppy markets to deliver a solid 4.0% return. This result surpassed the returns of your fund's comparative standards, as well as the performance of the broad stock and bond markets. The fund's diversified mix of stock and bond funds made the most out of the markets' pockets of strength, notably value-oriented and international stocks, while limiting the damage from weaker segments such as growth stocks. Your fund's per-share distributions and change in net asset value during the period can be found in the table on page 4.

STOCKS STALLED AMID MARKET UNCERTAINTY
U.S. stocks rallied in the final months of 2004, then drifted lower as the New Year began. Although the economy registered respectable growth during the fiscal half-year, concern about the strength and durability of the expansion seemed to dictate the market’s direction.
Segments of corporate America generated unexpectedly robust profits, for example, but every instance of good news seemed to be overshadowed by a high-profile disappointment. Persistently high oil prices and other specters of inflation also cast a pall on the market’s mood.
The broad stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, returned 3.5% for the six months. As has been the case for much of the past five years, value-oriented stocks outpaced their growth-oriented counterparts. In a reversal of recent
1
trends, large-capitalization stocks bested the market’s smaller companies. On balance, international stocks generated higher returns than the U.S. market.
THE FED STEPPED TO THE FORE
In the bond market, the Federal Reserve Board commanded the spotlight, signaling that its near-term objective was to short-circuit any surge in inflation. The Fed raised its target for the federal funds rate to 2.75% during the half-year, a full percentage point higher than its level at the start of the period. (In early May, the Fed raised the target to 3.00%.) The steady increase in the yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill paralleled the Fed’s actions. At the close of the period, the bill yielded 2.89%.

STAR’S LONG-TERMVIRTUES
WERE ON DISPLAY
During the first half of the fiscal period, Vanguard STAR Fund’s “fund of funds” approach showcased the virtues of balance and diversification, as well as the potential for talented investment managers to enhance your share of the markets’ returns.
2
The virtues of balance and diversification were apparent in the 3.1% return of the STAR Composite Index, which tracks the market segments that are represented in your fund’s portfolio. Although this return was modestly lower than that of the broad U.S. stock market, the STAR Composite Index achieved this stocklike result with a roughly 40% weighting in fixed income indexes, which can reduce the volatility of an all-stock portfolio.

The contributions of the talented advisors who manage STAR’s underlying funds were manifested in your fund’s 4.0% return, which was superior to the 3.1% return of its index. The fund benefited from the strong performance of Vanguard Windsor II Fund—STAR’s largest holding—which made the most of a favorable market for value-oriented stocks. STAR also registered impressive returns from the International Value and Growth Funds. In the fixed income markets, STAR’s emphasis on long-term corporate bonds yielded strong results.
The fund’s weak spots were the same as those of the financial markets as a whole, namely growth stocks and short-term bonds. Short-term bonds bore the brunt of the Fed’s interest rate hikes, while growth-oriented technology stocks struggled amid uncertainty about the prospects for a sustained uptick in corporate spending.
TWO DECADES OF LESSONS FOR INVESTORS
Vanguard created the STAR Fund more than 20 years ago to offer investors a complete portfolio in a single fund, one managed by a roster of world-class investment advisors. The rewards of such a bal anced, diversified approach typically are revealed over a number of years and a variety of market environments. Consider it a happy anomaly that these time-tested, long-term virtues were on such prominent display during the past six months.
3
Whether Vanguard STAR Fund is the primary component of your investment program, or just one element, the fund’s strategy can serve as a model for any portfolio. The fund’s emphasis on balance and broad diversification, as well as its disciplined asset allocation through all of market environments, can put you in a good position to reach your long-term financial goals. We enhance the benefits of this approach by keeping your investment costs as low as possible, allowing you to hang on to a greater share of the fund’s returns.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
Average Weighted Expense Ratio. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds. The average weighted expense ratio is the average of these expense ratios, weighted in proportion to the amount of the fund invested in each underlying fund.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
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.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s income from interest and dividends. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
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. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
This Statement provides a detailed list of the fund’s investments in shares of each Vanguard fund, along with the value of each investment on the last day of the reporting period. Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Because all income and any realized gains must be distributed to shareholders each year, the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The amounts shown for Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the sums the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as income dividends or capital gains as of the statement date. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net income or net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
The fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

The amounts shown as Distributions to shareholders from the fund’s net income and capital gains may not match the amounts shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, as well as the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of Shares Issued and Redeemed are shown at the end of the Statement.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This table summarizes the fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis. The table also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. The expense ratio is zero because the fund pays no direct expenses; the fund’s share of the expenses of the other funds in which it invests reduces the income received from them. The data in the table will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains; and the portion of capital gain distributions representing the “pass-through” of capital gain distributions received from other Vanguard funds. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vanguard STAR Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund follows a balanced investment strategy by investing in selected Vanguard funds. The fund invests 60% to 70% of its net assets in stock funds (predominantly large-capitalization value U.S. stock funds), 20% to 30% in intermediate- to long-term bond funds, and 10% to 20% in a short-term bond fund.
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. Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the six months ended April 30, 2005, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard and the funds in which the fund invests.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2004, the fund had available realized losses of $54,087,000 to offset future net capital gains of $5,692,000 through October 31, 2010, and $48,395,000 through October 31, 2011. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2005; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.
At April 30, 2005, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,196,337,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $2,258,448,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $62,111,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the six months ended April 30, 2005, the fund purchased $901,531,000 of investment securities and sold $372,106,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.

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 typical fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. The STAR Fund has no direct expenses, but bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the fund’s average weighted expense ratio, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets. 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 costs are calculated using the fund’s average weighted expense ratio.
The table below 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 | $1,000.00 | $1,023.01 | $1.81 |
|
*The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal period of each underlying fund. STAR Fund’s annualized average weighted expense ratio as of April 30, 2005, was 0.36%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted 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. |
• 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 any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus. If this 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.”
14
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 for the past five years, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the fund prospectus.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-05-001023/picturebrennan.gif)
Dear Shareholder,
During the six months ended April 30, 2005, the four Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds produced gains in a stair-step pattern, reflecting each fund’s level of exposure to the domestic and international stock markets. The most aggressive fund, the LifeStrategy Growth Fund, returned 4.0%, while at the other end of the spectrum, the conservative LifeStrategy Income Fund returned 1.5%. During the period, the broad stock market significantly outpaced bonds, and international stocks outperformed domestic equities.
The four funds outpaced their composite benchmark indexes and their composite peer-group averages—a result of the funds’ long-term strategic asset allocations, as well as a modest tactical shift out of bonds and into the better-performing stock market. The adjacent table compares the total returns (capital change plus reinvested distributions) of the funds and their respective indexes, which are weighted to reflect the target asset allocation of each fund. Returns relative to the composite peer-group averages are shown on page 4. The table on page 5 presents the funds’ starting and ending net asset values for the period, distributions, and annualized yields.

STOCKS STALLED AMID UNCERTAINTY
U.S. stocks rallied in the final months of 2004, then drifted lower as the new year began. Although the economy registered respectable growth during the fiscal half-year, concern about the strength and durability of the expansion seemed to dictate the market’s direction. Segments of corporate America generated unexpectedly robust profits, for example, but every instance of good news seemed to be overshadowed by a high-profile disappointment. Persistently high oil prices and other specters of inflation also cast a pall on the market’s mood.

The broad stock market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index, returned 3.5% for the six months. As has been the case for much of the past five years, value-oriented stocks outpaced their growth-oriented counterparts. In a reversal of recent trends, large-capitalization stocks bested the market's smaller companies. On balance, international stocks generated higher returns than the U.S. market.
THE FED STEPPED TO THE FORE
In the bond market, the Federal Reserve Board commanded the spotlight, signaling that its near-term objective was to short-circuit any surge in inflation. The Fed raised its target for the federal funds rate to 2.75% during the half-year, a full percentage point higher than its level at the start of the period. (In early May, the Fed raised its target to 3.00%.) The yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill paralleled the Fed's actions, steadily increasing to close the period at 2.89%.
2
The impact on longer-term securities was less pronounced. The yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose 18 basis points to 4.20%, while the yields of the longest-term securities declined modestly.
EQUITIES GAVE THE LIFESTRATEGY FUNDS A LIFT
As "funds of funds," the LifeStrategy Funds invest in other Vanguard mutual funds. These underlying funds are primarily index funds that track the broad U.S. and international stock markets and the broad U.S. bond market. During the six-month period, domestic stocks performed reasonably well, while the bond market provided only meager returns. International stocks were the strongest performers for the fiscal half-year.
International stocks outpaced their domestic counterparts during the fiscal half-year and were the period's strongest performers.
Among the underlying funds, the strongest performer was Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, which accounts for about 15% of assets in the LifeStrategy Growth Fund, with lower allocations in the LifeStrategy Moderate Growth (about 10% of assets) and Conservative Growth (about 5%) Funds. The LifeStrategy Income Fund does not have an allocation to international stocks.
All four LifeStrategy Funds have exposure-ranging from 5% to 50% of assets-to Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund. The funds also hold Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund, with allocations ranging from 10% to 50% of assets. While each of the LifeStrategy

Funds has a target allocation for stocks and bonds, the actual allocation may vary during any given period. These variations are a product of each fund’s roughly 25% weighting in Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund, which can shift among stocks, bonds, and cash investments based on long-term forecasts by the advisor’s quantitative model.

*Each average is a blended composite that weights the return of the average comparable mutual fund for each asset class in proportion to the target weighting of the appropriate LifeStrategy Fund. All average returns for funds are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. |
The Asset Allocation Fund’s tactical shifts allow the LifeStrategy Funds to favor an asset class that seems to promise superior risk-adjusted returns. Throughout the six-month period, the Asset Allocation Fund invested most or all of its assets in stocks. Consequently, each Life-Strategy Fund held a stock weighting that was 10% higher than its target allocation for much of the period, and this overweighting helped the funds to outperform their composite benchmarks. See the table on page 3 for each fund’s asset allocation on April 30.
BROAD DIVERSIFICATION AND LOW COSTS
Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds are designed for investors seeking a simple way to achieve a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks and fixed income investments. As an investor in a LifeStrategy Fund, you possess all of the essential elements of successful investing: balance, diversifica-tion, and ongoing maintenance of your portfolio. The funds’ exposure to Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund also incorporates a tactical element that can add value relative to a static mix of assets.

*For underlying funds. **Peer groups are (from top to bottom) the Income Composite Average, the Conservative Growth Composite Average, the Moderate Growth Composite Average, and the Growth Composite Average. Each average is a blended composite that weights the expense of the average comparable mutual fund for each asset class in proportion to the target weighting of the appropriate LifeStrategy Fund. Peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2004. |

The LifeStrategy Funds offer another advantage: low costs. With average weighted expense ratios of approximately 0.25%, the funds provide an inexpensive way for investors to enter the market.
Investors enhance their ability to meet their long-term goals by sticking with a portfolio balanced among a mix of stock, bond, and money market funds in proportions appropriate to their goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk. If you continue to adhere to these fundamentals in your investment strategy, you'll be positioned to benefit no matter what might occur in the financial markets.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
Average Weighted Expense Ratio. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds. The average weighted expense ratio is the average of these expense ratios, weighted in proportion to the amount of the fund invested in each underlying fund.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
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.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
Yield. A snapshot of a fund’s income from interest and dividends. The yield, expressed as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value, is based on income earned over the past 30 days and is annualized, or projected forward for the coming year.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES
All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the funds. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

4/30/2005 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund's investments in shares of each Vanguard fund, along with the value of each investment on the last day of the reporting period. Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund's Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund's net assets. Because all income and any realized gains must be distributed to shareholders each year, the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The amounts shown for Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the sums the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as income dividends or capital gains as of the statement date. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net income or net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund's investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
Each fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the lists appear in the fund's semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund's Forms N-Q on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The amounts shown as Distributions to shareholders from the fund’s net income and capital gains may not match the amounts shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, as well as the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of Shares Issued and Redeemed are shown at the end of the Statement.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis. The table also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. The expense ratio is zero because the fund pays no direct expenses; the fund’s share of the expenses of the other funds in which it invests reduces the income received from them. The data in the table will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains; and the portion of capital gain distributions representing the “pass-through” of capital gain distributions received from other Vanguard funds. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds comprise the LifeStrategy Income Fund, LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund, and LifeStrategy Growth Fund, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Each fund follows a balanced investment strategy by investing in selected Vanguard funds to achieve its targeted allocation of assets to U.S. stocks, international stocks, bonds, and short-term reserves.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their financial statements.
1.Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date.
2.Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3.Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4.Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the funds. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the funds’ expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the funds. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the funds during the six months ended April 30, 2005, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard and the funds in which the funds invest.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The funds’ tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2004, the following funds had tax-basis capital losses available to offset future net capital gains:
|
| Capital Losses
|

LifeStrategy Fund
| Amount (000)
| Expiration: Fiscal Years Ending October 31,

Income | $1,840 | 2011 |

Moderate Growth | 24,006 | |
2009-2011 |
Growth | 29,196 | |
2009-2011 |
|
26
The funds will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending October 31, 2005; should the funds realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balances above.
At April 30, 2005, net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was:

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 typical fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. The LifeStrategy Funds have no direct expenses, but each fund bears its proportionate share of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the fund’s average weighted expense ratio, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets 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 period shown and held for the entire period. The costs are calculated using each fund’s average weighted expense ratio.
The table below 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.

Moderate Growth | 1,000.00 | 1,032.27 | 1.26 |

Growth | 1,000.00 | 1,023.55 | 1.25 |
|
*The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal period of each underlying fund. The LifeStrategy Funds’ annualized average weighted expense ratios as of April 30, 2005, are (in order as listed from top to bottom, above) 0.24%, 0.24%, 0.25%, and 0.25%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average weighted 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. |
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
28
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 on page 28 are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or account maintenance fees. They do not include your fund’s low-balance fee, which is described in the prospectus. If this 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 for the past five years, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
![Picture of John J. Brennan Picture of John J. Brennan](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000932471-05-001023/brennanfinal.gif)
Dear Shareholder,
International stocks continued to outperform the U.S. market in the first half of the 2005 fiscal year, with stronger growth rates in many regions boosting returns well beyond those produced in the United States. A net decline in the relative value of the dollar enhanced international returns for investors in the United States—particularly those invested in emerging markets, where currencies have generally benefited from growing trade surpluses with the United States.
For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Vanguard’s international equity index funds provided returns ranging from 6.6% for the Pacific Stock Index Fund to 14.3% for the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund (both figures are for the Investor Share class). By comparison, the broad U.S. market gained 3.5%, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index. The funds successfully tracked their target indexes in the period, although the use of fair-value pricing created some temporary discrepancies in returns.
The table on page 2 presents total returns (capital change plus reinvested distributions) for each fund, along with the results for the funds’ target indexes and average peers. Three of our international index funds began offering exchange-traded VIPER Shares on March 4 of this year. The abbreviated returns for those shares are shown in a separate table on page 4. Information on changes in the funds’ net asset values and on per-share distributions can be found on page 6.
STOCK RETURNS FOLLOWED AN UP-DOWN TRAJECTORY
Stock markets in Europe and the Pacific region followed similar patterns, climbing sharply for the first four months of the fiscal year, then dropping

through much of March and April. Investors abroad, like those in the United States, have been trying to gauge the effects of rising oil prices, instability in the Middle East, and the occasional case of corporate malfeasance. In addition, signals that economic growth may become sluggish have made improvement in corporate profits seem less likely.
In the Pacific region, Japan’s slow-growing economy pulled down the overall return, offsetting stellar gains in Australia and Hong Kong. Because of the U.S. dollar’s weakness, U.S.-based investors gained 1 or 2 percentage points over local-currency returns in the European and Pacific developed markets; in emerging markets, the currency boost was close to 6 percentage points, reflecting not only trade surpluses but stronger economies.
In the United States, stocks rallied strongly in the final months of 2004, only to begin sliding as the New Year began. Although the U.S. economy registered respectable growth during the fiscal half-year, concern about the strength and durability of the expansion seemed to dictate the market’s direction. As has been the case for much of the past five years, value-oriented stocks outpaced their growth-oriented counterparts in the United States and abroad.

A lower-cost class of shares available to many longtime shareholders and to those with significant investments in the fund.
Institutional Shares
This class of shares carries even lower expenses and is available for a minimum investment of $10 million.
VIPER® Shares
Traded on the American Stock Exchange, VIPERs(R)(U.S. Pat. No. 6,879,964 B2) are available only through brokers. The table on page 4 shows VIPER returns based on both the AMEX market price and the net asset value for a share.
THE FED STEPPED TO THE FORE
In the U.S. bond market, the Federal Reserve Board commanded the spotlight, signaling its intent to short-circuit any surge in inflation. Over the fiscal half-year, the Fed raised its target for the federal funds rate by a full percentage point, to 2.75%. (In early May, the Fed raised the target to 3.00%.)
The steady increase in the yield of the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill paralleled the Fed’s actions, and the T-bill yield closed the period at 2.89%. The impact on longer-term securities was less pronounced. The yield of the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose 0.18 percentage point to 4.20%, while the yields of the longest-term securities declined modestly.
STRONG PERFORMANCE CAME FROM SOME HEAVYWEIGHT MARKETS
Each of the MSCI regional indexes tracked by our funds is notably affected by the fate of one or more large markets, which means that performance of a single country’s stocks can wield great influence on the index return. For example, more than a third of the European Stock Index Fund is invested in United Kingdom stocks; the fund therefore received a considerable boost when its U.K. holdings rose 10.2%.

the period. Japan, whose market advanced only 3.2%, represents nearly three-quarters of Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund. (The fund’s return was enhanced, however, by large weightings in Australia and Hong Kong, which logged dollar-based gains of about 11.7% and about 11.8%, respectively.)
Because emerging markets, in aggregate, remain small in assets compared with the developed markets of Europe and the Pacific region, the high returns from emerging markets did not produce a significant difference between the returns of the Total International Stock Index Fund, a “fund of funds” with exposure to all markets, and those of the Developed Markets and Institutional Developed Markets Index Funds.

*Inception | |
Four of Vanguard’s international index funds posted results signifi-cantly above the average returns of their peer groups; two were in line with the average peer fund return. One fund, Vanguard European Stock Index Fund, notably outperformed its target index—by 60 basis points, or 0.6%, for Investor Shares. This outperformance was the result of fair-value pricing, a practice designed to protect investors from discrepancies that can occur because of the time difference between the close of foreign markets and when the price of the fund is determined. Our funds use fair-value pricing to determine the value of international securities on the basis of real-time developments that are not reflected in closing prices abroad. Because international market indexes are based on closing prices in foreign markets, market developments that occur after the close of foreign exchanges—and that are accounted for through fair-value pricing—can lead to differences between the performance of a fund and its target index, as happened on the final day of the fiscal half-year.
DIVERSIFICATION REMAINS KEY TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS
The last several years have provided an object lesson to investors about the enduring value of diversification. Through much of the 1990s, when U.S. stocks were booming, it was difficult to persuade some investors to

diversify their portfolios with either bonds or international stocks. Then domestic stocks tumbled during the 2000–2002 U.S. bear market, and bonds excelled; over the past year, international equities far outpaced their U.S. counterparts. These asynchronous ups and downs suggest that over time, it’s prudent to be well diversified, across both regions and asset classes.
Investors can enhance their ability to meet their long-term goals by sticking with a program balanced among stock, bond, and money market investments in proportions that fit their goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk. At Vanguard, we believe that staying faithful to such a strategy—rather than listening to the “noise” created by short-term market fluctuations—will give you the best chance of reaching your financial goals. If you continue to adhere to these fundamentals in your investment plan, you’ll be positioned to benefit for the long term.
Thank you for entrusting your hard-earned dollars to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
Average Weighted Expense Ratio. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds. The average weighted expense ratio is the average of these expense ratios, weighted in proportion to the amount of the fund invested in each underlying fund.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
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.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors).

As of 4/30/2005 | PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES All of the returns in this report represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results that may be achieved by the funds. (For performance data current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than that cited, visit our website at www.vanguard.com.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor's shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares. |

As of 4/30/2005 | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) |
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund securities are grouped and subtotaled by asset type (common stocks, bonds, etc.) and by country; the Total International Stock, Developed Markets, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Funds list investments in shares of each Vanguard International Stock Index Fund. Other assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total Investments to calculate the fund’s Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.
At the end of the Statement of Net Assets of each fund, you will find a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Because all income and any realized gains must be distributed to shareholders each year, the bulk of net assets consists of Paid-in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The amounts shown for Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the sums the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as income dividends or capital gains as of the statement date, but may differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net income or net realized gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.
Each fund provides a complete list of its holdings four times in each fiscal year, at the quarter-ends. For the second and fourth fiscal quarters, the lists appear in the fund’s semiannual and annual reports to shareholders. For the first and third fiscal quarters, the fund files the lists with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-Q. Shareholders can look up the fund’s Forms N-Q on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room (see the back cover of this report for further information).

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS
This Statement shows how each fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The amounts shown as Distributions to shareholders from the fund’s net income and capital gains may not match the amounts shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the income was earned or the gains were realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the net amount shareholders invested in or redeemed from the fund. Distributions and Capital Share Transactions are shown separately for each class of shares.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This table summarizes each fund’s investment results and distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis for each class of shares. The table also presents the fund’s Total Return and shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets. The Total International Stock, Developed Markets, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Funds’ expense ratios are zero because they pay no direct expenses; these funds’ share of the expenses of the other funds in which they invest reduces the income received from them. These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund’s net income and total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and capital gains to the fund’s total return; how much it costs to operate the fund; and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains. The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the fund for one year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Vanguard International Stock Index Funds comprise the European, Pacific, Emerging Markets, and Total International Stock Index Funds, the Developed Markets Index Fund, and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund, each of which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds each seek to match the performance of a distinct international market index by investing in common stocks. The Total International Stock Index Fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds. The Developed Markets and Institutional Developed Markets Index Funds seek to match the performance of their target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The funds’ direct and indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The European and Pacific Stock Index Funds each offer four classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Institutional Shares, and VIPER Shares. The Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund offers three classes of shares: Investor Shares, Institutional Shares, and VIPER 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, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million. The European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds’ VIPER Shares were first issued on March 4, 2005, and offered to the public on March 10, 2005. VIPER Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such policies in preparing their financial statements.
1. | Security Valuation: European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the funds’ pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the funds’ pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Total International Stock, Developed Markets, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Funds: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. All funds: Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. |
2. | Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the valuation date as employed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the calculation of its indexes. As part of the funds’ fair value procedures, exchange rates may be adjusted if they change significantly before the funds’ pricing time but after the time at which the MSCI rates are determined (generally 11:00 a.m. Eastern time). |
| Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the asset or liability is settled in cash, when they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses). |
75
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
3. | Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The European Stock Index Fund uses MSCI Pan-Euro Index futures contracts, and the Pacific Stock Index Fund uses Topix Index futures contracts, to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The funds may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The funds may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the funds and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. The European and Pacific Stock Index Funds also enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The funds’ risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts. |
| Futures and forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts. |
4. | Federal Income Taxes: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. |
5. | Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
6. | Security Lending: The funds may lend their securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The funds invest cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and record a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. |
7. | Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital. |
| Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. |
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes to the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the funds under methods approved by the board of trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard.
76
At April 30, 2005, the funds had contributed capital to Vanguard (included in Other Assets) of:
Index Fund | Capital Contribution to Vanguard (000) | Percentage of Fund Net Assets | Percentage of Vanguard's Capitalization |
---|
|
European | $1,596 | 0.01% | 1.60% |
Pacific | 725 | 0.01 | 0.72 |
Emerging Markets | 516 | 0.01 | 0.52 |
|
The funds’ trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the Total International Stock, Developed Markets, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Funds. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the funds’ expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the funds. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the funds during the six months ended April 30, 2005, were reimbursed by Vanguard.
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
During the six months ended April 30, 2005, the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds realized net foreign currency gains (losses) of $1,119,000, $897,000, and $(1,018,000), respectively, which permanently increased (decreased) distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly such gains (losses) have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.
Certain of the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds’ investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Pacific Stock Index Fund realized gains on sales of “passive foreign investment companies” of $1,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation through October 31, 2004, on the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds’ passive foreign investment company holdings at April 30, 2005, was $5,290,000, $20,679,000, and $1,049,000, respectively, which has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.
The funds’ tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2004, the following funds had tax-basis capital losses available to offset future net capital gains:
| Capital Losses
|
---|
Index Fund | Amount (000) | Expiration: Fiscal Years Ending October 31 |

Total International | 51,127 | 2009-2010 |
Institutional Developed Markets | 9,854 | 2011 |
|
77
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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. Vanguard “funds of funds,” such as the Developed Markets Index Fund, Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund, and Total International Stock Index Fund, do not have direct expenses, but each fund bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the fund’s average weighted expense ratio, also expressed as a percentage of average net assets.
The examples in the table on the next page 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 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. |
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only; they do not include low-balance fees, account maintenance fees, or the transaction fees on redemptions. These fees are described fully in the prospectus; they also are noted on the Performance Summary pages in this report. If the fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. The funds do not carry “sales loads.”
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 funds’ 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 the appropriate fund prospectus.

** | The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period, except for the three "funds of funds," for which calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent fiscal period of each underlying fund. The European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds' annualized six-month expense ratios are: 0.27% for European Stock Index Fund Investor Shares, 0.17% for Admiral Shares, and 0.11% for Institutional Shares; 0.33% for Pacific Stock Index Fund Investor Shares, 0.20% for Admiral Shares, and 0.14% for Institutional Shares; 0.46% for Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund Investor Shares and 0.27% for Institutional Shares. The other funds' annualized average weighted expense ratios as of April 30, 2005, are (in order as listed from top to bottom above) 0.31%, 0.29%, and 0.12%. 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. |
† | Calculations reflect the fund's 0.5% purchase fee, which is deducted from all purchases (including exchanges from other Vanguard funds) but not from reinvested dividends and capital gains. |

TRUSTEES RENEW ADVISORY ARRANGEMENT
The board of trustees of the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds has renewed the funds’ investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Quantitative Equity Group—serves as the investment advisor for the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds. The Total International Stock Index Fund, Developed Markets Index Fund, and Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund do not employ an investment advisor but benefit from the investment advisory services provided to the underlying funds in which they invest. 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 its most recent 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 short- and long-term periods, and took into account the organizational depth and stability of the advisor. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than two decades. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985 and oversees more than $580 billion in assets (stocks and bonds). Vanguard adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process, and the portfolio management 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 their target benchmarks and peer groups. The board noted that the funds have performed in line with expectations and that their results have been consistent with their investment strategies. Information about the funds’ performance, including some of the data considered by the board, can be found in the “Performance Summaries” section of this report.
COST
The expense ratios for the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds were far below the average expense ratios charged by funds in each fund’s peer group. As previously noted, the other three Vanguard funds do not incur advisory expenses directly. Information about the funds’ expense ratios appears in the “About Your Fund’s Expenses” section of this report as well as in the “Financial Statements” section. The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.
THE BENEFIT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The board of trustees concluded that Vanguard’s low-cost arrangement with the International Stock Index Funds ensures that the funds will realize economies of scale as they grow, with the cost to shareholders declining as fund assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement again after one year.

INVEST WITH VANGUARD FOR YOUR RETIREMENT
Vanguard offers low-cost, high-quality solutions that combine a variety of investment choices to help you achieve your retirement goals.
A Vanguard traditional IRA enables you to make deductible or nondeductible contributions that can grow tax-deferred until you take distributions in retirement, while a Vanguard Roth IRA allows you to make nondeductible contributions with tax-free withdrawals when you take qualified distributions.
With either type of Vanguard IRA®, your investment options include:
• Vanguard mutual funds
Select from our comprehensive lineup of more than 70 low-cost mutual funds suitable for retirement investing—all with no sales commissions—to help you reach your retirement goals. We offer a broad selection of stock, bond, balanced, and money market funds.
• Vanguard Target Retirement Funds
Choose a single, all-in-one portfolio that is professionally managed and well diversified. It automatically shifts from a more aggressive to a more conservative asset allocation as your target retirement date approaches, so you can leave the time-consuming details of portfolio management to Vanguard.
• Other investment options
Consolidate and build your portfolio in a single account that provides access to the universe of stocks, bonds, options, certificates of deposit (CDs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and non-Vanguard mutual funds through Vanguard Brokerage Services®.
ROLLOVER OPTIONS
When you change jobs or retire, you can take greater control of your investments by rolling over your assets in an employer-sponsored retirement plan to a Vanguard IRA. To initiate a rollover, visit Vanguard.com, where you can complete our easy online application. You can also print out the application and mail it to us—or call a Vanguard retirement specialist at 800-205-6189.
For more information, visit www.vanguard.com, or call 800-662-7447 for Vanguard funds and 800-992-8327 for non-Vanguard funds offered through Vanguard Brokerage Services, to obtain a prospectus. Investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before investing.
MAXIMIZE YOUR RETIREMENT INVESTMENTS
Are you taking full advantage of your IRA? You should be. With increased contribution limits, these tax-advantaged accounts are powerful options for retirement savers. To take full advantage of your retirement account, consider these simple, but important, steps:
• Contribute the maximum amount each year.
If you invest as much in your IRA as the law allows—$4,000 for 2005 if you are under the age of 50, and $4,500 if you are aged 50 or older—you will increase your chances of meeting your retirement goals. Provided you meet the eligibility requirements, max out your contribution every year you can.
• Make automatic contributions.
You can make regular contributions to your IRA by taking advantage of Vanguard’s Automatic Investment Plan, which deducts your contributions from your bank account on a schedule you select—making retirement investing a healthy habit.
• Keep your savings on course.
Unless you’ve invested in a Vanguard Target Retirement Fund, you should rebalance your account periodically to ensure that your target asset allocations are aligned to meet your retirement objectives.
• Protect those you care about.
You determine who will receive your retirement assets after your death, so it’s important to keep your beneficiary designations up to date. They will generally override any other instructions—even those in your will.
• Adopt a long-term approach.
A successful investment strategy requires a long-term perspective and staying on course—even when the financial markets are declining. Market-timing and performance-chasing are losing strategies that can cause you to stray from the path to your retirement goals.
If you have any questions about IRAs or would like to talk to a Vanguard retirement specialist, call 800-205-6189.
