President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, Vanguard STAR Fund returned –27.94%. The fund’s decline was a bit worse than that of its benchmark, the STAR Composite Index, which returned –25.94% for the 12-month period. The fund moderately outpaced its peer group, for which the average return was –29.20%.
As you know, the STAR Fund is a “fund of funds” that invests in 11 actively managed Vanguard mutual funds. These underlying funds provide the STAR Fund with a balanced mix of domestic and international stocks, as well as fixed income holdings. During the fund’s fiscal year, its bond holdings significantly outperformed its stock holdings.
If you own the STAR Fund in a taxable account, you may wish to review a report on the fund’s after-tax returns on page 19.
Stock prices fell sharply in global upheaval
Global stock markets started the 12-month period near all-time highs, but then declined sharply, laid low by the financial crisis that originated in the fixed income markets. The descent traced a series of jagged ups and downs. During the week ended October 10, for example, the U.S. stock market returned about –18%. When Wall Street opened the following Monday, stocks surged, returning more than 10% over the next 61/2 hours.
2
For the full 12 months, the broad U.S. stock market returned –36.43%; international stocks returned –48.27%. The pain was especially acute in emerging markets—among the strongest performers in recent years—as investors became increasingly averse to risk.
Bond market averages masked disparate returns
The broad U.S. taxable bond market registered an unremarkable return of 0.30% for the 12 months, but by its own typically sedate standards, the dislocations were extreme. The strong performance of U.S. Treasury and government securities was offset by double-digit declines in the corporate bond market. These dynamics led to unusually large differences between the yields of Treasuries and their corresponding private sector securities—both a reflection and a cause of the credit market’s distress. Despite their generally high creditworthiness, municipal bonds also fell in price, with the broad tax-exempt market registering a 12-month return of –3.30%.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Board responded to the volatile conditions with new lending programs and a dramatic easing of monetary policy. Over the full 12 months, the Fed reduced its target for the federal funds rate from 4.50% to 1.00%.

Domestic and international stocks hindered the fund’s return
The STAR Fund’s return of –27.94% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2008, resulted from negative performances by 10 of the fund’s 11 underlying mutual funds. As in the broad market, the fund’s bond holdings outperformed stocks, while domestic stocks performed better than their international counterparts.
STAR’s only holding to post a positive result for the fiscal year was Vanguard GNMA Fund, which returned 3.8%. The fund, which invests in mortgage-backed securities that are fully backed by the U.S. government, benefited from investors’ flight to safety during the period. The fund’s other bond holdings, Vanguard Short-Term Investment-Grade Fund and Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund, returned –4.4% and –15.5%, respectively.
The fund’s domestic stock holdings produced negative returns across the board. Financial companies, in particular, weakened STAR’s underlying stock funds, especially the value funds. For example, Vanguard WindsorTM II Fund, STAR’s most heavily weighted underlying investment, had, on average, more than 20% of its assets invested in financials and returned –38.0% for the period. Vanguard Windsor Fund—also weighted heavily in financials—returned –43.9% for the 12 months.

STAR Fund | 0.32% | 1.24% |
1 This figure—drawn from the prospectus dated February 27, 2008—represents a weighted average of the annualized expense ratios and any transaction fees charged by the underlying mutual funds (the “acquired” funds) in which the STAR Fund invests. The STAR Fund does not charge any expenses or fees of its own. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the acquired fund fees and expenses were 0.32%.
2 Based on the STAR Composite Average, which is weighted 50% average general equity fund, 25% average fixed income fund, 12.5% average 1–5 year investment-grade fund, and 12.5% average international fund. The figure is derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and captures information through year-end 2007.
4
The underlying funds’ energy holdings hurt STAR’s performance, too, as the price of oil fell significantly during the second half of the period. Information technology stocks also weighed on performance in the underlying growth funds, including Vanguard ExplorerTM Fund (–40.2%) and Vanguard MorganTM Growth Fund (–39.6%).
The fund’s international holdings were among its worst performers, as the U.S. credit crisis reverberated globally. This was a big change from the previous fiscal year, when international stocks were the fund’s top performers. This time around, Vanguard International Value Fund returned –45.5% and Vanguard International Growth Fund returned –47.6%.
Long-term performance is key despite market conditions
Over the ten-year period ended October 31, 2008, the STAR Fund had an average annual return of 4.07%. The fund outperformed its benchmark, its peers, and the broad U.S. stock market during the same period. (See the table on page 6.)
A hypothetical investment of $10,000 made ten years ago in the balanced STAR Fund would have grown to $14,899, over $3,000 more than the same hypothetical investment would have earned in an all-stock portfolio, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index.

The fund’s long-term results are a tribute to its balanced approach. Financial theory and experience suggest that over time, stocks can be expected to produce higher returns than bonds, though not without occasional periods of severe under-performance, as we have experienced during the past 12 months. By investing 60% to 70% in stocks and 30% to 40% in bonds, the STAR Fund is positioned to benefit from stocks’ long-term potential, while securing some protection from the stock market’s occasional downturns through an allocation to bonds.
Fund’s balanced mandate helps during market uncertainty
The past 12 months have been a tumultuous time for all investors. Balanced portfolios consisting of both stocks and bonds have not avoided the turmoil. However, many of these funds have managed to outperform the broad market, as well as most all-stock portfolios. Vanguard STAR Fund is a good example of such a fund.
During difficult times in the market, a balanced fund of funds, such as the STAR Fund, can help to simplify investing. The mix of domestic stocks, international stocks, and bonds can make it easier for your portfolio to endure the ups and downs of the market. In addition to its exposure to multiple asset classes, the STAR Fund boasts an extremely low expense ratio, which enables you to keep more of the fund’s returns. Finally, the fund is periodically rebalanced to ensure that it maintains its 30% to 40% allocation in bonds and reserves and its 60% to 70%

allocation to stocks—a necessary risk-control discipline, but one that can be difficult to practice outside of a dedicated balanced fund.
For these reasons, we believe that Vanguard STAR Fund is an excellent choice to help balance your investment portfolio, or as a well-balanced portfolio all on its own.
Thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

STAR Fund
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 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 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: 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 investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that the fund’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2008, were borne by the funds in which the fund invests. 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 used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $69,433,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $89,808,000 of ordinary income and $420,794,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $11,129,588,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $700,603,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $450,422,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $1,151,025,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

STAR Fund
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $3,806,983,000 of investment securities and sold $3,339,111,000 of investment securities other than temporary cash investments.
E. Capital shares issued and redeemed were:

| Shares | Shares |
| (000) | (000) |
Issued | 56,993 | 67,082 |

Redeemed | (90,316) | (70,107) |
Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | 12,944 | 24,454 |
F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard STAR Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard STAR Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement 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 STAR Fund (the “Fund”) at October 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its 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 Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the Vanguard funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2008 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard STAR Fund |
This information for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund distributed $464,817,000 as capital gain dividends (from net long-term capital gains) to shareholders during the fiscal year.
For nonresident alien shareholders, 100% of short-term capital gain dividends distributed by the fund are qualified short-term capital gains.
The fund distributed $128,638,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.
For corporate shareholders, 24.3% of investment income (dividend income plus short-term gains, if any) qualifies for the dividends-received deduction.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns
This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.
Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2008. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)
Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.
Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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 costs for the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 were calculated using the acquired fund fees and expenses for the STAR Fund.
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.
Six Months Ended October 31, 2008 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
STAR Fund | 4/30/2008 | 10/31/2008 | Period1 |
Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $765.53 | $1.42 |
Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | $1,000.00 | 1,023.59 | 1.63 |
1 These calculations are based on the acquired fund fees and expenses shown for the STAR Fund. The STAR Fund’s annualized expense figure for the period is 0.32%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized average expense figure, 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.
20
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

Glossary
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another 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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

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.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
The four Vanguard LifeStrategy Funds posted disappointing returns for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The funds’ returns, ranging from –12.29% for the conservative LifeStrategy Income Fund to –34.98% for the aggressive LifeStrategy Growth Fund, reflected a very volatile period in global markets.
Overall returns were weakened by each fund’s 25% investment in Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund, which invested exclusively in stocks for most of the 12-month period. Each fund lagged its respective benchmark. Only two funds, LifeStrategy Income Fund and LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund, outpaced the average returns of their peer mutual funds.
If you own a LifeStrategy Fund in a taxable account, you may wish to review the funds’ after-tax returns on page 45.
Stock prices fell sharply in global upheaval
Global stock markets started the 12-month period near all-time highs, but then declined sharply, laid low by the financial crisis that originated in the fixed income markets. The descent traced a series of jagged ups and downs. During the week ended October 10, for example, the U.S. stock market returned about –18%. When Wall Street opened the following Monday, stocks surged, returning more than 10% over the next six and a half hours.
2
For the full 12 months, the broad U.S. stock market returned –36.43%; international stocks returned –48.27%. The pain was especially acute in emerging markets—among the strongest performers in recent years—as investors became increasingly risk-averse.
Bond market averages masked disparate returns
The broad U.S. taxable bond market registered an unremarkable return of 0.30% for the 12 months, but by its own typically sedate standards, the dislocations were extreme. The strong performance of U.S. Treasury and government securities was offset by double-digit declines in the corporate bond market. These dynamics led to unusually large differences between the yields of Treasuries and their corresponding private sector securities—both a reflection and a cause of the credit market’s distress. Despite their generally high creditworthiness, municipal bonds also fell in price, with the broad tax-exempt market registering a 12-month return of –3.30%.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Board responded to the turmoil with new lending programs and a dramatic easing of monetary policy. Over the full 12 months, the Fed reduced its target for the federal funds rate from 4.50% to 1.00%.
Heavy stock exposure hurt all four funds
Each LifeStrategy Fund is a “fund of funds” designed for long-term investors seeking a diversified portfolio with varying

degrees of risk. The four funds invest in up to five Vanguard mutual funds, primarily broad index portfolios that track U.S. bond or stock markets, or international equity markets. Each fund also invests a quarter of its holdings in Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund, which relies on a quantitative model to determine an optimal allocation among bonds, stocks, and short-term reserves.
The LifeStrategy Funds maintain varying degrees of exposure to the stock and bond markets depending on their mandates. For example, at the end of the fiscal period, the LifeStrategy Income Fund’s portfolio consisted of 69% bonds and short-term reserves and 31% stocks, while the LifeStrategy Growth Fund recorded an allocation of 91% stocks and 9% bonds.
During the 12-month period, as the U.S. credit crisis worsened and fears of a global recession spread, the LifeStrategy Funds with the highest exposure to domestic and international stocks delivered the weakest results. The three worst-performing underlying stock funds were Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (–48.57%), Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (–36.28%), and the Asset Allocation Fund (–35.43%). (See your fund’s respective Fund Profile page for the breakdown of its underlying holdings.)
While the LifeStrategy Funds’ underlying index funds have historically tracked their indexes very closely, the funds have often kept a step ahead of their composite benchmarks thanks to the performance of

LifeStrategy Income Fund | 0.24% | 1.07% |
LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund | 0.24 | 1.15 |
LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund | 0.23 | 1.25 |
LifeStrategy Growth Fund | 0.23 | 1.32 |
1 This figure—drawn from the prospectus dated February 27, 2008—represents a weighted average of the annualized expense ratios and any transaction fees charged by the underlying mutual funds (the “acquired” funds) in which the LifeStrategy Funds invest. The LifeStrategy Funds do not charge any expenses or fees of their own. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the acquired fund fees and expenses were 0.22% for the Income Fund, 0.22% for the Conservative Growth Fund, 0.22% for the Moderate Growth Fund, and 0.21% for the Growth Fund.
2 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 ratio of the average comparable mutual fund for each asset class in proportion to the target weighting of the appropriate LifeStrategy Fund. The peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2007.

the Asset Allocation Fund. During the past fiscal year, however, the Asset Allocation Fund had the opposite effect because it was invested mostly in an all-stock portfolio during a time in which stock markets were pummeled.
In the funds’ composite benchmarks, by contrast, the Asset Allocation Fund is assumed to maintain a static allocation of 65% stocks and 35% bonds. During the past year, as stock prices tumbled, the benchmarks’ static allocation outperformed the funds’ actively managed allocation.
The LifeStrategy Funds have an impressive long-term record
Over the past ten years, each of the four LifeStrategy Funds has offered a diversified portfolio with a recognizable risk profile that can help investors reach some of their long-term investment goals. For a decade, the funds have kept pace with or surpassed the results of their respective mutual fund peers. The funds also have closely tracked the returns of their respective benchmark indexes.
The success of these funds largely reflects the indexing expertise of Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity and Fixed Income Groups, which have been able to closely track the funds’ benchmarks. The funds’ long-term success also stems from the skill of the Asset Allocation Fund’s advisor, Mellon Capital Management. In addition, the funds’ exceptionally low expense ratios, compared with those of competing funds, have helped investors to retain a larger proportion of their returns.

In uncertain times, diversification and long-term perspective are key
The past year’s turbulent market has left many investors anxious and concerned about their investments. That’s to be expected. But although such volatility can be jarring, it’s important for investors to maintain a long-term perspective. Sometimes, these unpredictable movements in the stock market are an unavoidable trade-off for the potential to earn long-term returns superior to those of lower-risk assets.
We have always counseled our investors to choose a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds in proportions consistent with their goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon, and then to try to stick with it. The LifeStrategy Funds can play an important role in such a portfolio by enhancing its diversification while helping to manage its risk.
Thank you for your ongoing confidence in Vanguard.
Sincerely,

LifeStrategy Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard LifeStrategy Income 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 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security 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 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: 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 investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that the fund’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2008, were borne by the funds in which the fund invests. 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.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $6,009,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $9,060,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,748,314,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $103,247,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,614,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $104,861,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $482,893,000 of investment securities and sold $414,271,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth 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 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security 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 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: 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 investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that the fund’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2008, were borne by the funds in which the fund invests. 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.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $12,843,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $58,575,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,227,667,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $377,061,000, consisting entirely of unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $1,404,758,000 of investment securities and sold $2,027,601,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing 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 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth 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 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security 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 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: 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 investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that the fund’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2008, were borne by the funds in which the fund invests. 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.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $60,723,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $45,187,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,834,352,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $424,095,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $34,183,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $458,278,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $1,854,179,000 of investment securities and sold $2,427,669,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | (31,582) | 36,507 |
F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $30,872,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $58,877,000 to offset future net capital gains of $9,185,000 through October 31, 2010, $2,953,000 through October 31, 2011, and $46,739,000 through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,765,168,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $502,950,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $15,250,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $518,200,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $880,355,000 of investment securities and sold $1,273,691,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard STAR Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard LifeStrategy Income Fund, Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund and Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth 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 LifeStrategy Income Fund, Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund and Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth Fund (separate portfolios of Vanguard STAR Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by agreement to the underlying ownership records for the Vanguard funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns
This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.
Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2008. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)
Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.
Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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 expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. These indirect expenses make up the fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 each fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the account service fee described in the prospectus. If such a fee were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.
1 These calculations are based on acquired fund fees and expenses for the LifeStrategy Funds. The LifeStrategy Funds’ annualized expense figures for the period shown are (in order as listed from top to bottom above) 0.22%, 0.22%, 0.22%, and 0.21%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense figures, 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.

Glossary
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another 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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Yield. A fund’s 30-day SEC yield is derived using a formula specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the formula, data related to the fund’s security holdings in the previous 30 days are used to calculate the fund’s hypothetical net income for that period, which is then annualized and divided by the fund’s estimated average net assets over the calculation period. For the purposes of this calculation, a security’s income is based on its current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or its projected dividend yield (for stocks). Because the SEC yield represents hypothetical annualized income, it will differ—at times significantly—from the fund’s actual experience. As a result, the fund’s income distributions may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

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.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
After several years of generous returns, international markets dropped sharply during the past 12 months as the global credit crisis caused investors to pull back from riskier securities such as stocks. The bear market spared no country, sending the Total International Stock Index Fund down –48.57%.
The fund, which previously was included in shareholder reports encompassing other Vanguard international equity index funds, is now issuing its own report because it modified its investment policies in August. As a result of the change, the Total International Stock Index Fund can invest both directly in securities of European, Pacific, and emerging markets and in the three Vanguard index funds that track those markets.
This policy change gives Vanguard greater flexibility in managing the portfolio, but it does not alter the fund’s objective and risks. The fund will continue seeking to track the performance of the Total International Composite Index.
During the 2008 fiscal year, the fund’s return slightly exceeded that of its target benchmark. This was a result of short-term discrepancies that arose from fair-value pricing, which is described more fully later in this letter. The fund’s return was slightly lower than the average for its peer group.

For global markets, the year started well but ended dismally
Global stock markets started the 12-month period near all-time highs but then declined sharply, laid low by the financial crisis that originated in the fixed income markets. The descent traced a series of jagged ups and downs. During the week ended October 10, for example, the U.S. stock market returned about –18%. When Wall Street opened the following Monday, stocks surged, returning more than 10% over the next six-and-a-half hours.
For the full 12 months, the broad U.S. stock market returned –36.43%; international stocks returned –48.27%. The pain was especially acute in emerging markets—among the strongest performers in recent years—as investors became increasingly risk-averse.
Bond market averages masked disparate returns
The broad U.S. taxable bond market registered an unremarkable return of 0.30% for the 12 months, but by its own typically sedate standards, the dislocations were extreme. The strong performance of U.S. Treasury and government securities was offset by double-digit declines in the corporate bond market. These dynamics led to unusually large differences between the yields of Treasuries and their corresponding private-sector securities—both a reflection and a cause of the credit market’s distress. Despite their generally high creditworthiness, municipal bonds also fell in price, with the broad tax-exempt market registering a 12-month return of –3.30%.

The U.S. Federal Reserve Board responded to the turmoil with new lending programs and a dramatic easing of monetary policy. Over the full 12 months, the Fed reduced its target for the federal funds rate from 4.50% to 1.00%.
Investors turned bearish in every corner of the globe
The fund’s holdings in the developed European markets returned –47.80% for the fiscal period. Each of the region’s three largest markets, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, which together represent more than half of the index, posted similar losses. Switzerland (–31.5%) was the only market that didn’t fall by at least a third.
Owing to the distress in credit markets, the worst damage came from financials (–60%), the largest European sector, which represented, on average, about a quarter of the region’s market value. As in the United States, banks suffered from exposure to problematic debt securities linked to falling U.S. home values.
Most other industries in the region fell between –33% (consumer staples) and –56% (industrials). The sector that suffered least was health care (–19%). For U.S.-based investors, losses were amplified by the 10% decline of the euro and the 25% decline of the British pound against the U.S. dollar during the fiscal year.

Declines were also severe for the Pacific-region markets
The developed markets in the Pacific region returned –42.71% for the period. The Japanese market, by far the largest in this group, retreated about –37% in U.S. dollar terms (and the news was even worse for Japanese investors, as the yen rose nearly 17% against the dollar during the period).
The other major Pacific markets—Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore—lost more than half their value. As with other markets around the world, financial stocks (–50%), the region’s largest sector, were the leading cause of the losses.
Other sectors in the region faced similar headwinds. In terms of a negative impact on the fund, industrials (–47%) and materials (–54%) were most prominent. Consumer staples (–27%), typically less volatile during bear markets, and health care (–21%) were least affected by the downdraft.
Emerging markets suffered the steepest declines of all
True to their more-volatile reputation, emerging markets lost the most among international stocks during the fiscal year. It might be said that they had farther to fall, given their stellar gains in recent years. The fund’s emerging-markets

holdings returned –56.66%, with South Korea (–60%) and China (–68%) exerting the steepest downward pull. But no country was spared outsized losses; other examples include Brazil (–54%), Taiwan (–49%), India (–62%), and Russia (–61%).
A quarter of the fund’s loss in emerging markets came from troubled financial stocks, as commercial banks, brokerages, and other financial firms grappled with the unprecedented credit squeeze. The energy sector (–57%), including coal companies and those active in oil and gas exploration and refining in Brazil, China, and Russia, was hit by rapidly falling energy prices as commodity markets anticipated slowing energy demand worldwide.
The fund’s long-term performance is in line with that of its target
As the table on page 5 shows, the Total International Stock Index Fund has met its objective of tracking its benchmark over the past decade. Its returns have also surpassed the average annual return for competing international funds.
Like the fund’s fiscal 2008 return, its ten-year average is slightly above that of the target index. These differences are largely the result of fair-value pricing, a practice that allows the fund to calculate its net asset value based on real-time developments not yet reflected in the closing prices of markets in different time zones. When fair-value pricing is used at the beginning or end of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the fund’s return and that of its target index. This discrepancy corrects itself when market prices reflect fair value, usually the next day.
Other factors can also affect the fund’s tracking of its benchmark. The most significant one, of course, is cost: An index fund incurs operating costs, which are reflected in its return—and are absent from the return of a benchmark.
Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group has managed index funds for more than three decades. Its disciplined execution of your fund’s indexing mandate, combined with the fund’s extremely low costs, can help you execute a long-term strategy of seeking to capture nearly all of the return from international markets.

International investing still offers useful diversification
After enjoying several years of strong returns with few bumps along the way, investors in international stocks were harshly reminded in the past year that a bear market can come at any time—and once in a while it can come with unusual severity. Such was the case with the credit crisis of 2008, with repercussions that unsettled even the most seasoned investors.
Nevertheless, the dramatic increase of international commerce in recent years, particularly in less-developed nations, continues to offer long-term growth possibilities for patient investors.
That is why it is important to have a well-thought-out investment strategy based on a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market mutual funds that fits your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. For those who can tolerate the extra volatility that sometimes comes with investing abroad, the Total International Stock Index Fund remains a cost-effective way to add an extra element of diversification to your portfolio and thus help you maintain a durable long-term investment plan.
Thank you for your confidence in Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Total International Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Through July 2008, the fund invested solely in the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds. Beginning in August 2008, the fund also invests directly in individual stocks. The fund’s direct and indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Investments are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Investments in Vanguard funds are valued at each fund’s net asset value. Other 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 fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. 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 on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
5. Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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.
39
Total International Stock Index Fund
6. Other: Dividend 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. A portion of the fees assessed on redemptions of capital shares is reallocated proportionately to the funds in which the fund invests, and the remainder is credited to paid-in capital.
B. Under service agreements, The Vanguard Group furnishes investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. With respect to assets invested in other Vanguard funds, the fund’s direct expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. 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.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $3,035,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the fund’s 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 year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $22,000, which have been included in current period taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2008, was $128,000.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $81,475,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $686,643,000 to offset future net capital gains of $4,316,000 through October 31, 2009, $43,870,000 through October 31, 2010, and $638,457,000 through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $21,667,511,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,349,699,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $467,059,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,816,758,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $18,392,387,000 of investment securities and sold $14,450,173,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1��Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of October 31, 2008, based on the inputs used to value them:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement 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 Total International Stock Index Fund (the “Fund”) at October 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its 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 Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian, and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for the Vanguard funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The fund distributed $542,535,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.
The fund will pass through to shareholders foreign source income of $78,536,000 and foreign taxes paid of $3,105,000. The pass-through of foreign taxes paid will affect only shareholders on the dividend record date in December 2008.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns
This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.
Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2008. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)
Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.
Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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 expense ratio is expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. For the Total International Stock Index Fund, the expense ratio is based on both the fund’s own operating expenses and, indirectly, on the expense ratios of the other Vanguard funds in which it invests. The indirect expenses are known as “acquired fund fees and expenses.”
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 each fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses.
The accompanying table illustrate 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.

Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $571.95 | $1.11 |

1 These calculations are based on the fund’s own operating expenses for the most recent six-month period combined with the acquired fund fees and expenses for the underlying mutual funds in which it invests. The resulting annualized expense ratio is 0.28%. 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.
44
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the transaction fees or the account service fee described in the 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.

Trustees Approve Advisory Arrangement
The board of trustees of Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund has approved the fund’s investment advisory arrangement with The Vanguard Group, Inc. Vanguard—through its Quantitative Equity Group—serves as the investment advisor for the fund. The board determined that the investment advisory arrangement with Vanguard 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 with similar mandates. 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 benefits to shareholders of selecting Vanguard as an advisor to the fund, particularly in light of the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by the advisor. The board noted that Vanguard has a track record of success in its management of other index funds as well as actively managed funds. Vanguard has been managing investments for more than 25 years. George U. Sauter, Vanguard managing director and chief investment officer, has been in the investment management business since 1985. Mr. Sauter has led the Quantitative Equity Group since 1987. The group adheres to a sound, disciplined investment management process; the team has considerable experience, stability, and depth.
The board concluded that Vanguard’s experience, stability, depth, and performance, among other factors, warranted approval of the advisory arrangement.
Investment performance
The board noted that Vanguard’s portfolio management team has depth and stability. The board determined that, in its management of other Vanguard index funds, the Quantitative Equity Group has a track record of consistent performance and disciplined investment processes. Information about the fund’s performance can be found in the Performance Summary section of this report.
Cost
The board considered the cost of services to be provided, including consideration of competitive fee rates and the fact that, after the implementation of the arrangement with Vanguard, the fund’s advisory expense ratio would be well below the average advisory expense ratio of its peer group. Information about the fund’s expense ratio appears in the About Your Fund’s Expenses section of this report as well as in the Financial Statements section.
The board does not conduct a profitability analysis of Vanguard because of Vanguard’s unique “at-cost” structure. Unlike most other mutual fund management companies, Vanguard is owned by the funds it oversees, and produces “profits” only in the form of reduced expenses for fund shareholders.
The benefit of economies of scale
The board concluded that the fund’s low-cost arrangement with Vanguard ensures that the fund will realize economies of scale as it grows, with the cost to shareholders declining as the fund’s assets increase.
The board will consider whether to renew the advisory arrangement after a one-year period.

Glossary
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another 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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
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.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

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.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

President’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
After several years of generous returns, international markets dropped sharply during the past 12 months as a global credit crisis caused investors to pull back from riskier investments such as stocks. The bear market spared no country, but emerging markets suffered the most, as Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund returned –56.66% for Investor Shares.
Losses in Europe and the Pacific region were a bit less severe, but still deep, as Vanguard European Stock Index Fund lost –47.80% and Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund retreated –42.71% (Investor Shares). Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and its institutional counterpart, which invest in the European and Pacific funds in market-weighted proportions, posted similar results.
These results for the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds (the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund excepted) slightly exceeded the returns of their respective benchmark indexes because of short-term discrepancies that arose from fair-value pricing, which is described more fully later in this letter. The funds’ performances were also slightly better than the average returns of their peer groups.
Please note that the ETF Shares of the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund underwent a 2-for-1 split in June. If you own one or more of the funds in a taxable account, you may wish to review the details of the funds’ after-tax returns on page 112.

Stock prices fell sharply in global upheaval
Global stock markets started the 12-month period near all-time highs but then declined sharply, laid low by the financial crisis that originated in the fixed income markets. The descent traced a series of jagged ups and downs. During the week ended October 10, for example, the U.S. stock market returned about –18%. When Wall Street opened the following Monday, stocks surged, returning more than 10% over the next six-and-a-half hours.
For the full 12 months, the broad U.S. stock market returned –36.43%; international stocks returned –48.27%. The pain was especially acute in emerging markets—among the strongest performers in recent years—as investors became increasingly risk-averse.
Bond market averages masked disparate returns
The broad U.S. taxable bond market registered an unremarkable return of 0.30% for the 12 months, but by its own typically sedate standards, the dislocations were extreme. The strong performance of U.S. Treasury and government securities was offset by double-digit declines in the corporate bond market. These dynamics led to unusually large differences between the yields of Treasuries and their corresponding private sector securities—both a reflection and a cause of the credit market’s distress. Despite their generally high creditworthiness, municipal bonds also fell in price, with the broad tax-exempt market registering a 12-month return of –3.30%.

The Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund’s expense ratios were 0.32% for Investor Shares, 0.20% for Admiral Shares, 0.20% for Signal Shares, 0.15% for Institutional Shares, and 0.20% for ETF Shares.
2 This figure—drawn from the prospectus dated October 14, 2008, for the Developed Markets Index Fund and February 27, 2008, for the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund—represents a weighted average of the annualized expense ratios and any transaction fees charged by the underlying mutual funds (the “acquired” funds) in which the funds invest. The Developed Markets Index Fund and Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund do not charge any expenses or fees of their own. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the acquired fund fees and expenses were 0.22% for the Developed Markets Index Fund and 0.09% for the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund.
3 Peer groups are: for the European Stock Index Fund, the Average European Region Fund; for the Pacific Stock Index Fund, the Average Japan/Pacific Region Fund; for the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, the Average Emerging Markets Fund; and for the two other funds, the Average International Fund. The peer-group expense ratios are derived from data provided by Lipper Inc. and capture information through year-end 2007.

The U.S. Federal Reserve Board responded to the turmoil with new lending programs and a dramatic easing of monetary policy. Over the full 12 months, the Fed reduced its target for the federal funds rate from 4.50% to 1.00%.
Investors turned bearish in every corner of the globe
This report includes three distinct regional index funds—European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets. It also includes two funds-of-funds, the Developed Markets Index Fund and its institutional counterpart (available at a minimum initial investment of $5 million). Both invest in the European and Pacific funds in market-weighted proportions.
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, which previously was included in this report and invests in European, Pacific, and emerging markets, now issues its own report.
The European Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares lost –47.80% for the fiscal period. Each of the region’s three largest markets, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, which together represent more than half of the index, posted similar losses. Switz-erland (–32%) was the only market that didn’t fall by at least a third.
Owing to credit woes, the worst damage came from financials (–60%), the largest European sector, which represented on average about a quarter of the region’s market value. As in the United States, banks suffered from exposure to problematic debt securities linked to falling U.S. home values.
Most other industries fell between –33% (consumer staples) and –56% (industrials). The sector that suffered the least was health care (–19%). The decline of the euro (–10%) and British pound (–25%)

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.

Pacific region losses were also severe
The Pacific Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares returned –42.71% for the period. Japan, by far the largest market in the region, retreated –37% in U.S. dollar terms, a less severe loss than that experienced by Japanese investors given that the Japanese yen rose nearly 17% against the dollar during the period.
The other major Pacific markets—Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore—lost more than half their value. As with other markets around the world, financial stocks (–50%), representing the region’s largest sector, were the leading cause of the losses.
Other sectors in the region faced similar headwinds during the global slowdown. In terms of negative impact on the fund, industrials (–47%) and materials (–54%) were most prominent. Consumer staples (–27%), typically less volatile during bear markets, and health care (–21%) were least affected by the downdraft.
Emerging markets suffered the most during the period
True to their more volatile reputation, emerging markets lost the most among international stocks during the period after stellar gains in recent years. The Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares fell –56.66%, with South Korea (–60%) and China (–68%) pulling the fund down the most. But no country was spared outsized losses, including Brazil (–54%), Taiwan (–49%), India (–62%), and Russia (–61%).
A quarter of the fund’s loss came from troubled financials, as commercial banks, brokerages, and other financial firms grappled with the unprecedented global credit squeeze. The energy sector (–57%), including coal companies and those active in oil and gas exploration and refining in Brazil, China, and Russia, was hit by rapidly falling energy prices as commodity markets anticipated slowing energy demand worldwide.
The Developed Markets Index Fund and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund are funds-of-funds that hold market-based weightings in the European and Pacific markets. Thus, their results were in line with proportional returns from those markets, with the two funds losing –46.24% and –46.12%, respectively.
The funds’ long-term performance is in line with the markets’
As the table on page 7 shows, the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds have met their objective of tracking their respective benchmarks over the past decade, with differences between fund and index returns of no more than 0.20 percentage point. And except for the European Stock Index Fund, their returns have also surpassed the average annual returns of their respective peer groups since inception or for the ten years ended October 31, 2008.

As noted earlier, the returns of the funds (except for the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund) were slightly better than those of their target indexes for the past 12 months and, indeed, for the longer period shown on page 7. These differences were partly the result of fair-value pricing, which allows the funds to calculate their net asset values based on real-time developments not reflected in closing prices set in overseas markets that operate in different time zones. When fair-value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, it may cause a temporary divergence between the return of a fund and that of its index. This discrepancy corrects itself when market prices reflect fair value, usually the next day.
An index fund’s performance may also differ slightly from the return of its target benchmark because the fund may hold a slightly different roster of securities than those listed in the benchmark. Of course, the most consistent performance divergence arises from the operating costs incurred by an index fund—costs not present in the return from a benchmark.
Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group has managed index funds for more than three decades. Its disciplined execution of the funds’ indexing mandates, combined with the funds’ extremely low costs, can help you execute a long-term strategy of seeking to capture nearly all of the returns from international markets.
International investing still offers valuable diversification
After enjoying several years of strong returns with few bumps along the way, investors in international stocks were harshly reminded in the past year that a bear market can come at any time—and once in a while it can come with unusual severity. Such was the case with the credit crisis of 2008, with repercussions that unsettled even the most seasoned investors.
Nevertheless, the dramatic increase of international commerce in recent years, particularly in less developed nations, continues to offer long-term growth possibilities for patient investors.
That is why it is important to have a well-thought-out investment strategy based on a diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market mutual funds that fits your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. For those who can tolerate the extra volatility that sometimes comes with overseas investing, the International Stock Index Funds remain a cost-effective way to add an extra element of diversification to your portfolio and thus help you maintain a durable long-term investment plan.
Thank you for your confidence in Vanguard.
Sincerely,

European Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard European Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF 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, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc.; 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. 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 using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
30
European Stock Index Fund
3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses 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 fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The fund also may enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.
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 Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.
4. 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 on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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 redemptions of capital shares 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.

European Stock Index Fund
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At October 31, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $1,979,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.98% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
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.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $7,600,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the fund’s 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 year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $543,000, 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 of $19,314,000 on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income. Since October 31, 2007, the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings have depreciated in value, reducing the amount of taxable income available for distribution as of October 31, 2008 by $14,818,000. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2008, was $4,496,000.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized $3,596,684,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $1,109,431,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $370,782,000 to offset future net capital gains of $13,739,000 through October 31, 2011, and $357,043,000 through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $25,496,864,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,751,252,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $583,528,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $8,334,780,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

The fund had net unrealized foreign currency losses of $2,226,000 resulting from the translation of other assets and liabilities at October 31, 2008.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $8,586,185,000 of investment securities and sold $11,402,293,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Pacific Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF 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, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc.; 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. 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 using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining full exposure to the stock market while maintaining liquidity. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital share transactions. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
55
Pacific Stock Index Fund
The fund may also enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The primary risk associated with the fund’s use of these contracts is that a counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligation to pay gains due to the fund 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 Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.
4. 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 on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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 redemptions of capital shares 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 at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At October 31, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $985,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.98% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

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.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $9,327,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the fund’s 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 year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $11,640,000, 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 of $194,526,000 on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income. Since October 31, 2007, the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings have depreciated in value, reducing the amount of taxable income available for distribution as of October 31, 2008 by $185,016,000. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2008, was $9,510,000.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized $1,129,766,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $125,413,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $532,747,000 to offset future net capital gains of $1,920,000 through October 31, 2009, $68,660,000 through October 31, 2010, $4,471,000 through October 31, 2011, $4,674,000 through October 31, 2013, and $453,022,000 through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,616,600,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,729,421,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $154,068,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,883,489,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of October 31, 2008, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | Forward |
| Investments | Futures | Currency |
| in Securities | Contracts | Contracts |

Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF 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, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc.; 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 fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. 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 using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the assets or liabilities are settled in cash, at which time they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
3. Futures Contracts: The fund uses 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 fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund 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 fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
87
Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains (losses).
4. 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 on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its 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 fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records 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 at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At October 31, 2008, the fund had contributed capital of $1,567,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.57% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended October 31, 2008, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $375,000.
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.
88
Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $15,685,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. The fund’s realized losses for the year ended October 31, 2008, include a refund for taxes paid on Indian securities of $67,000, which is treated as an increase to taxable income; accordingly, this amount has been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income.
Certain of the fund’s 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 year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $3,817,000, 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 of $41,815,000 on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2007, has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income. Since October 31, 2007, the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings have depreciated in value, reducing the amount of taxable income available for distribution as of October 31, 2008 by $38,708,000. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2008, was $3,107,000.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund realized $795,501,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $562,586,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $643,327,000 to offset future net capital gains of $15,143,000 through October 31, 2012, $167,331,000 through October 31, 2014, and $460,853,000 through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $18,025,084,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,860,941,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $1,104,758,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,965,699,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
At October 31, 2008, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts expiring in November 2008 and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:
| | | ($000) |
| Number of | Aggregate | Unrealized |
| Long (Short) | Settlement | Appreciation |
Futures Contracts | Contracts | Value | (Depreciation) |
MSCI Taiwan Index | 1,800 | 33,606 | 1,800 |
The fund had net unrealized foreign currency losses of $1,409,000 resulting from the translation of other assets and liabilities at October 31, 2008.
E. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $9,315,325,000 of investment securities and sold $5,904,943,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

G. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the fund’s investments as of October 31, 2008, based on the inputs used to value them:
| Investments | Futures |
| in Securities | Contracts |

Developed Markets Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: 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 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: 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 investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that the fund’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2008, were borne by the funds in which the fund invests. 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.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $1,285,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $11,015,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2016.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,891,993,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $588,354,000, consisting entirely of unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $816,948,000 of investment securities and sold $451,715,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | 28,368 | 55,023 |
F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: 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 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. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2005–2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: 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 investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that the fund’s expenses may be reduced or eliminated to the extent of savings realized by the Vanguard funds by the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all incremental expenses for services provided by Vanguard and all other expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2008, were borne by the funds in which the fund invests. 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.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2008, the fund had $1,409,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $8,141,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2011.
At October 31, 2008, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $4,993,237,000. Net unrealized depreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,333,914,000, consisting entirely of unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the fund purchased $2,219,370,000 of investment securities and sold $821,024,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements.
The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments are summarized in three broad levels. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
At October 31, 2008, 100% of the fund’s investments were valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard European Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index 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 European Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund (separate portfolios of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2008, 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 periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2008 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers, and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the Vanguard funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns
This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.
Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2008. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)
The table shows returns for Investor Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.
Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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. This figure is known as the expense ratio. “Funds of funds,” such as the Developed Markets Index Fund and Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund, have no 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 acquired fund fees and expenses, 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 each fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses.
The accompanying tables illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include the transaction fees or the account service fee described in the 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.

1 These calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period, except for the two “funds of funds,” for which calculations are based on the acquired fund fees and expenses charged by the underlying mutual funds in which the funds of funds invest. The funds of funds’ annualized expense figures for the same period are 0.22% for the Developed Markets Index Fund and 0.09% for the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund. The annualized six-month expense ratios for the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets funds are as follows: European Stock Index Fund—0.24% for Investor Shares, 0.13% for Admiral Shares, 0.13% for Signal Shares, 0.09% for Institutional Shares, and 0.11% for ETF Shares; Pacific Stock Index Fund—0.24% for Investor Shares, 0.13% for Admiral Shares, 0.13% for Signal Shares, 0.09% for Institutional Shares, and 0.11% for ETF Shares and Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund—0.31% for Investor Shares, 0.19% for Admiral Shares, 0.20% for Signal Shares, 0.14% for Institutional Shares, and 0.20% for ETF Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.

Glossary
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another 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%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index. Note that a fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Equity Exposure. A measure that reflects a fund’s investments in stocks and stock futures. Any holdings in short-term reserves are excluded.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0. For this report, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals.
Our independent board members bring distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service to their task of working with Vanguard officers to establish the policies and oversee the activities of the funds. Among board members’ responsibilities are selecting investment advisors for the funds; monitoring fund operations, performance, and costs; reviewing contracts; nominating and selecting new trustees/directors; and electing Vanguard officers.
Each trustee serves a fund until its termination; or until the trustee’s retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the fund’s organizational documents. Any trustee may be removed at a shareholders’ meeting by a vote representing two-thirds of the net asset value of all shares of the fund together with shares of other Vanguard funds organized within the same trust. The table on these two pages shows information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.
