Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
The first half of your fund’s fiscal year was, like last year’s, characterized by bullish sentiment in nearly all corners of the stock market. Benefiting from this upbeat environment, Vanguard Growth and Income Fund returned nearly 27% for the six months ended March 31, 2012, besting the return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and the average return of peer-group funds.
As I noted in our last report, Vanguard Growth and Income Fund adopted a multimanager approach on September 30, 2011. The fund’s new advisors, each of which manages approximately one-third of the fund’s assets, are D. E. Shaw Investment Management, L.L.C., Los Angeles Capital, and Vanguard’s Equity Investment Group.
The objective and investment strategy of the fund have not changed. The advisors have continued to follow a quantitative approach, using computer models to select a broadly diversified group of stocks that, as a whole, have investment characteristics similar to those of the S&P 500 Index but are hoped to provide a higher total return than that of the benchmark.
The advisors’ stock selections gained 10% or more in all ten market sectors for the period. Those selections outperformed in most market sectors, with particular success in the technology and consumer sectors.

A surge of optimism fueled a powerful global rally in stocks
During the past six months, optimism displaced the apprehension that had restrained stock prices through summer 2011. The broad U.S. stock market returned more than 26%. Markets abroad returned 15.37%. Investors’ good spirits reflected confidence that the slow, grinding economic expansion in the United States was at last gathering momentum, and that Europe’s debt crisis could be wrestled under control.
By the end of the period, however, that confidence had begun to evaporate in the face of ambiguous economic reports and renewed concern about Europe. The abrupt mood swing was consistent with the financial markets’ volatility since the 2008–2009 financial crisis.
For most bonds except munis, six-month returns were subdued
The broad taxable bond market produced a modest six-month return of 1.43%. In general, interest rates remained more or less steady at very low levels. In some segments of the bond market, however, yields crept lower still, boosting bond prices. The broad municipal bond market, for example, produced a solid six-month return of 3.91% as investors bid up muni prices.
As it has since December 2008, the Federal Reserve Board kept its target for the shortest-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%. That policy has kept a tight lid on the returns available from money market funds and savings accounts.

Technology and consumer stocks provided notable outperformance
Vanguard Growth and Income Fund seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index by investing in large-and mid-capitalization U.S. companies that reflect the index’s composition but which the fund’s advisors believe are poised to outperform.
This strategy was rewarded during the period as the fund’s return outpaced that of its benchmark and bested the average return of its peer funds by about 2 percentage points.
Information technology stocks, which made up about one-fifth of fund assets and represented the largest sector in the fund, provided the biggest margin of outperformance and about one-fourth of the fund’s return. Rising demand for computer hardware and IT services prompted investors to bid up the fund’s holdings by more than 34%, a return that was several percentage points higher than the return for the market overall.
The advisors’ selections in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors also lifted relative performance. The fund’s internet and traditional retailers did well, as did several big-name food providers, as consumers gained confidence about the economy and increased their spending.
The fund’s holdings in financials offset some of its outperformance in other areas. While the fund’s portfolio of financial stocks outdistanced the overall market,

it trailed its counterpart in the index by several percentage points, providing the only notable drag on the fund’s relative showing.

Stay focused on what you can control
As we tend to do after any period of strong performance, we caution shareholders that rising markets can’t be expected to continue indefinitely. Nor is it prudent to think that the lower volatility witnessed in much of the six-month period is a sign that the stress fractures in the global financial system have completely healed.
I note these concerns not to discourage you but as a way of helping you to maintain realistic expectations. We’re sure to experience stock downturns in the future, and when they occur, it will be essential to maintain a long-term perspective.
In addition to keeping a long-term view, it’s constructive to focus on two key elements of an investment plan: how much you’re investing and how long you’re investing for. This point was underscored in a recent Vanguard research paper, Penny Saved, Penny Earned, available at vanguard.com/research. The study found that retirement investors have a greater likelihood of reaching their goals by increasing their savings rate and savings time horizon. Those two factors, independently or together, can generally provide a higher chance of success than simply counting on the possibility of higher portfolio returns, the study’s authors concluded.
As always, Vanguard encourages you to create a long-term investment plan that includes a mix of stocks, bonds, and short-term investments that are appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. A well-balanced portfolio can help cushion some of the market’s volatility while allowing you to participate in its long-term potential for growth. The Growth and Income Fund, which provides diversified, low-cost exposure to hundreds of large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks, can be a useful component in such a portfolio.
Thank you for your confidence in Vanguard.
Sincerely,

F. William McNabb III
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Advisors’ Report
Vanguard Growth and Income Fund’s Investor Shares returned 26.83% for the six months ended March 31. The Admiral Shares returned 26.91%. The S&P 500 Index returned 25.89%, while the average return of large-cap core funds was 24.87%.
Your fund is managed by three independent advisors, a strategy that enhances the fund’s diversification by providing exposure to distinct, yet complementary, investment approaches. It is not uncommon for different advisors to have different views about individual securities or the broader investment environment.
The advisors, the percentage of fund assets each manages, and brief descriptions of their investment strategies are presented in the table below. The advisors have also prepared a discussion of the investment environment that existed during the fiscal half-year and of how the portfolio’s positioning reflects this assessment. These comments were prepared on April 20, 2012.

Europe’s sovereign-debt crisis dominated perceptions about equity valuations in the early part of the fourth quarter of 2011. Europe’s banking sector seemed to be bolstered by the coordinated action of several central banks to boost liquidity. Over time, a steady drip of positive economic news suggesting that the U.S. economy was recovering—albeit slowly—began to outweigh negative news from Europe. This improving economic sentiment appeared to help drive equity markets higher in the second half of December, and that trend continued through the end of the first quarter of 2012 amid signs that the U.S. economy was gaining strength.
We evaluate our portfolio’s relative performance over the reporting period in light of three major factors: bottom-up stock selection; common risk factors such as value, growth, and capitalization; and industry groups.
In stock selection, Apple Inc., Priceline.com Inc., and JPMorgan Chase were among the best relative performers. An overweight position in International Flavors & Fragrances and underweight positions in Citigroup and Walgreen detracted the most from relative performance.
In our management of common risk factors, we received positive contributions, mostly in the first quarter of 2012, from a modest tilt toward low-dividend-yield stocks. The largest detractor was a tilt toward higher-volatility stocks. Overall, most of our portfolio’s performance was the product of many small, positive risk-factor exposures and relatively few negative ones.
Industry exposures subtracted slightly from the portfolio’s performance.
We believe equity markets are currently characterized by markedly lower levels of correlations among individual stocks than in recent years. Other things being equal, a reduction in correlations increases the potential for diversified, bottom-up stock selection strategies to outperform. At the same time, short-term stock market volatility is low by the standards of the last few years, even though many individual names have experienced substantial cumulative price movements in the past six months.
Substantial disappointment about the prospects for economic growth in the United States and a resurgence of concerns about the European debt crisis constitute clear risks in this environment. More generally, any macroeconomic shock that could significantly increase uncertainty or risk aversion among market participants could well have the same effect.

Over the six-month period, the market was led by significant gains in two risky sectors, technology and diversified financials. Apple’s shares rose 57% as its profits doubled from a year earlier, while large banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, which were the primary beneficiaries of the Federal Reserve’s policy of maintaining low interest rates over the past four years, generated returns of 55% and 57%, respectively.
While much has been made of Apple’s quarterly profits soaring to $13.1 billion for the period that ended December 31, profit growth for the remainder of the market appears to have come to a standstill, with little to no growth over the past year. Despite slight improvements in the macroeconomic environment from small but steady employment gains, first-quarter equity returns were driven almost exclusively by a falling equity risk premium; market risk fell by one-third from year-end levels, and high-yield spreads, a measure of default risk, fell by more than 1 percentage point. Not surprisingly, risky stocks with weaker balance sheets were among the best performers during the quarter. With the significant rise in bank stocks, combined with low interest rates and contracting high-yield spreads, default risks appeared to be on the decline.
Over the six months, we maintained a bias toward higher-quality companies with strong balance sheets, above-average earnings growth, higher dividend yields, and positive earnings surprises. Overweight positions in technology names such as Apple, Microsoft, and Novellus contributed to performance. Conversely, our portfolio’s overweighting in higher-quality names with higher dividend yields, as well as underweight positions in Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup, detracted from our relative results.
In an environment characterized by lower growth rates, we have maintained our bias toward larger-capitalization securities with higher earnings quality and higher dividend yields. As default risks have eased, we have increased our weighting in financials but remain underweighted in economically sensitive sectors such as materials and consumer cyclicals. The portfolio’s price/ earnings ratio and beta remain below those of the benchmark, while its earnings-per-share growth and dividend yield remain higher.

Returns for the period for large-capitalization stocks were led by financial, information technology, and consumer discretionary companies. Telecommunications and utilities were the laggards. While all ten

sector groups provided positive returns, more economically sensitive sectors generally outperformed defensive ones.
Since the equity market started its current rally last fall, investors’ concerns regarding a double-dip recession, slowing growth in China, and Europe’s troubles appear to have eased. As a result of deep cost-cutting and conservatism, larger U.S. companies are coming out of the recession in the best fiscal health in recent years. They are more productive and more profitable, and have more cash and less leverage.
Although overall portfolio performance is affected by the macroeconomic factors described above, our approach to investing focuses on specific stock fundamentals. Specifically, we evaluate these five components:
1. Valuation, which measures the price we pay for earnings and cash flows.
2. Growth, which considers the growth of earnings.
3. Management decisions, an assessment of the actions taken by company management that signal its informed opinions of a firm’s future.
4. Market sentiment, which captures how investors reflect their opinions of a company through their activity in the market.
5. Quality, which measures balance-sheet strength and the sustainability of earnings.
For the fiscal half-year, our stock selection models produced mixed results. Our management-decisions, growth, and quality models were effective in distinguishing the outperformers from the underperformers. However, our market-sentiment and valuation indicators were not effective, and in fact detracted from our results.
Our selections within materials, energy, and health care added the most to our relative returns. In materials, CF Industries, Eastman Chemical, and International Paper were the largest contributors to our results.
In energy, Marathon Petroleum, National Oilwell, and Marathon Oil added the most to our relative returns. In health care, Aetna, Pfizer, and United Health were the largest contributors to our returns. Our selections were disappointing in financials; most of our underperformance in this sector resulted from underweight positions in Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and MetLife.

Growth and Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Growth and Income Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Admiral Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.
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 materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. 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. Futures 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.
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).
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2008–2011), and for the period ended March 31, 2012, 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 fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.
27
Growth and Income Fund
6. 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.
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. D. E. Shaw Investment Management, L.L.C., and Los Angeles Capital Management and Equity Research, Inc., each provide investment advisory services to a portion of the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets managed by the advisor. The basic fees for D. E. Shaw Investment Management, L.L.C., are subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance since September 30, 2011, relative to the S&P 500 Index. In accordance with the advisory contract entered into with Los Angeles Capital Management and Equity Research, Inc., beginning October 1, 2012, the investment advisory fee will be subject to quarterly adjustments based on performance since September 30, 2011, relative to the S&P 500 Index.
The Vanguard Group provides investment advisory services to a portion of the fund on an at-cost basis; the fund paid Vanguard advisory fees of $166,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2012.
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the aggregate investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.11% of the fund’s average net assets, before an increase of $94,000 (0.00%) based on performance.
C. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost 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 March 31, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $627,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.25% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
D. The fund has asked its investment advisors to direct certain security trades, subject to obtaining the best price and execution, to brokers who have agreed to rebate to the fund part of the commissions generated. Such rebates are used solely to reduce the fund’s management and administrative expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, these arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $31,000 (an annual rate of 0.00% of average net assets).
E. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

S&P 500 Index | June 2012 | 252 | 88,402 | 1,624 |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.
G. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at September 30, 2011, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $1,406,097,000 to offset future net capital gains of $559,187,000 through September 30, 2017, and $846,910,000 through September 30, 2018. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending September 30, 2012; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.
At March 31, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,677,927,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $685,308,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $723,508,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $38,200,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
H. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the fund purchased $1,944,895,000 of investment securities and sold $1,929,041,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are 0.36% for Investor Shares and 0.25% for Admiral 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
30-Day SEC 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 (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), 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.
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.
Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
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. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
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.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
33
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.
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.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
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. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 179 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
For the fiscal half-year ended March 31, 2012, the two Vanguard Structured Equity Funds delivered strong returns, snapping back sharply from the stock market slump of the previous six months.
Vanguard Structured Large-Cap Equity Fund returned about 27% and Vanguard Broad Market Fund returned about 28%. Both funds outpaced their benchmarks—the S&P 500 Index and Russell 3000 Index, respectively—and their peer groups.
Excellent stock selection was responsible for the funds’ success. The funds’ advisor uses a quantitative investment approach that is designed to make discriminating choices among stocks that are expected to pay off over the long term, while maintaining a risk profile similar to that of the benchmark index. In other words, the goal is “same risk, better returns.” To this end, the advisor relies on sophisticated computer models that evaluate stocks based on characteristics such as issuers’ balance sheet strength, earnings growth, and valuations. The Advisor’s Report that follows this letter describes this investment approach in more detail.
A surge of optimism fueled a powerful global rally in stocks
During the past six months, optimism displaced the apprehension that had restrained stock prices through summer 2011. The broad U.S. stock market returned more than 26%. Markets abroad
2
returned 15.37%. Investors’ good spirits reflected confidence that the slow, grinding economic expansion in the United States was at last gathering momentum, and that Europe’s debt crisis could be contained.
By the end of the period, however, that confidence had begun to evaporate in the face of ambiguous economic reports and renewed concern about Europe. The abrupt mood swing was consistent with the financial markets’ volatility since the 2008–2009 financial crisis.
Aside from munis, most bonds saw subdued six-month returns
The broad taxable bond market produced a modest six-month return of 1.43%. In general, interest rates remained more or less steady at very low levels. In some segments of the bond market, however, yields crept lower still, boosting bond prices. The broad municipal bond market, for example, produced a solid six-month return of 3.91% as investors bid up muni prices.
As it has since December 2008, the Federal Reserve Board kept its target for the shortest-term interest rates between 0% and 0.25%. That policy has kept a tight lid on the returns available from money market funds and savings accounts.
Stock selection helped funds make the most of a rising market
Both funds benefited from a rising stock market during the period, and they were further helped by the stock selections made by their advisor, Vanguard Equity

Investment Group. In each case, stocks contributing the most to the funds’ performance compared with that of their benchmark indexes were concentrated in a handful of sectors; because of the different characteristics of each fund’s benchmark, these sectors varied by fund. (Vanguard Structured Large-Cap Equity Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, covers 500 or so mostly large-cap stocks, as its name implies; Vanguard Structured Broad Market Fund looks to the Russell 3000 Index, which represents almost the entire market of large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks.)
The Structured Large-Cap Equity Fund outpaced its benchmark by about 1 percentage point and its peer group by about 2 percentage points. The advisor’s selections in the economically sensitive materials and industrial sectors stood out, as the economy continued its slow but steady growth. Machinery manufacturers and diversified chemical and metals and mining companies, for example, did well for the fund.
Energy stocks were also top performers, as oil prices (West Texas crude) began creeping up, once again, to more than $100 per barrel. And the fund got a boost from its consumer staples stocks, such as those of soft-drink and packaged foods companies.
Other stock choices, such as those in the large information technology sector, did well but contributed little when compared with their counterparts in the index. The fund’s health care stocks trailed those in the index.
Stock selections for the Structured Broad Market Fund helped the fund to outpace its benchmark by more than 1 percentage point and the average return of its peer funds by more than 3 percentage points. The materials sector contributed strong relative returns, as did the consumer sectors, particularly household, personal, and tobacco products companies in consumer staples and internet and catalog retailers in consumer discretionary.
Stock choices in the industrial, energy, and IT sectors also boosted returns. However, good selections in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and consumer finance firms couldn’t offset disappointing selections among capital-market companies and commercial banks. The fund’s holdings in both the tiny telecommunications sector and health care trailed their counterparts in the index.
Volatility is the norm, but there’s an antidote
As the Equity Investment Group notes in the report that follows, stock market volatility has substantially declined after the big swings we saw last year. What that bodes for the future is unclear: It has been shown time and again that nobody knows for certain which way the market is headed next, or when the next dip or climb will arrive.

Because the market is so unpredictable, we believe the best way to invest is to create a diversified and balanced portfolio that includes a mix of stocks, bonds, and cash reserves tailored to your unique goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
Such a portfolio can help you to keep your footing when the markets are turbulent, as we point out in Recent Stock Market Volatility: Extraordinary or “Ordinary”?
The research paper describes why bouts of high volatility have always been a feature of stock market investing, and how balanced, diversified portfolios have experienced lower levels of volatility than the headlines would suggest. You can find the paper at vanguard.com/research.
As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to Vanguard.
Sincerely,

F. William McNabb III

Advisor’s Report
For the six months ended March 31, 2012, Vanguard’s structured equity funds posted solid results. Vanguard Structured Large-Cap Equity Fund returned 26.95% for Institutional Shares and 26.98% for Institutional Plus Shares, outperforming the return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, by 1.06 and 1.09 percentage points, respectively. Vanguard Structured Broad Market Fund returned 27.93% for Institutional Shares and 28.02% for Institutional Plus Shares, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, by 1.38 and 1.47 percentage points, respectively.
Financials, information technology, and consumer discretionary were the top performers in both benchmark indexes, although all ten sectors gained.
Since the equity market started its rally last fall, investor concerns about a possible double-dip recession in the United States, slowing growth in China, and Europe’s fiscal troubles appear to have eased. Against that backdrop, data showing improvements in the U.S. employment and housing pictures as well as continued strength in manufacturing activity seem to have whetted investor appetite for equities.
As a result of deep cost-cutting and fiscal conservatism during the recession, larger U.S. companies are emerging from the recession healthier than they have been in years: They are more productive, more profitable, and have more cash and less leverage. In addition, valuations of U.S.
stocks relative to bonds, measured by comparing earnings yields of stocks with coupon yields of 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds, indicate a level of attractiveness not seen since the early 1970s.
Market volatility declined by more than 60% during this period to below-average levels, but it will likely stay with us for some time. U.S. budget and deficit problems remain unresolved, world economic growth is uncertain, and the presidential election is still months away. (Volatility is measured by the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX.)
Our approach to investing
Although overall portfolio performance is affected by the macroeconomic factors described above, our approach to investing focuses on specific stock fundamentals. Our model consists of these five components:
1. Valuation, which measures the price we pay for earnings and cash flows.
2. Growth, which considers the growth of earnings.
3. Management decisions, an assessment of the actions taken by company management that signal its informed opinions of a firm’s future.
4. Market sentiment, which captures how investors reflect their opinions of a company through their activity in the market.
5. Quality, which measures balance-sheet strength and the sustainability of earnings.
6
Our risk-control process then neutralizes our exposure to market-capitalization, volatility, and industry risks relative to our benchmark. In our view, such risk exposures are not justified by the rewards available. As a result of these risk controls, our 3-year tracking error was 1.29% for Structured Large-Cap and 1.79% for Structured Broad Market, both well within expectations.
For the fiscal half-year, our stock selection model performed well in the unpredictable market, with a majority of the components contributing positively to performance in various degrees for each of the structured portfolios. For both funds, the quality, management decisions, and growth indicators helped most. Our valuation component was neutral for Structured Broad Market and detracted from the performance of Structured Large-Cap. Our market sentiment indicator was not effective during this period for either fund, and in fact detracted from results.
The model was effective across most sectors. In Structured Large-Cap, our stock selection results during the period were positive in seven out of ten sectors. For Structured Broad Market, our stock selection results were positive in six out of ten sectors, neutral in two.
Structured Large-Cap Fund
Company selections within materials, energy, and industrials added most to our relative returns. In materials, CF Industries, Eastman Chemical, and PPG Industries were the largest contributors. In energy, Marathon Oil, Marathon Petroleum, and National Oilwell were the top relative performers. In industrials, Caterpillar, Eaton, and General Electric led.
Selection results were disappointing in technology, consumer discretionary, and health care; most of our under-performance in these sectors resulted from underweighted positions in Qualcomm, EMC, Comcast, Home Depot, and Amgen.
Structured Broad Market Fund
Company selections within consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and materials added most to our relative returns. In consumer staples, Philip Morris, Constellation Brands, and Herbalife were the largest contributors. In consumer discretionary, CBS, Macy’s, and Polaris Industries were the top relative performers. In materials, CF Industries, Eastman Chemical, and International Paper led.
7
Selection results were disappointing in financials and health care. Most of our underperformance in financials was due to underweighted positions in Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. Similarly, our underperformance in health care was largely attributable to underweighted positions in Merck, Amgen, and Medco Health Solutions.
The long-term outlook
While we cannot predict how the broader political or economic events will affect the markets, we are confident that the stock market can provide worthwhile returns for long-term investors. With that in mind, we believe that equity exposure will remain an important part of a diversified investment plan.
We thank you for your investment and look forward to the second half of the fiscal year.

Strutured Large-Cap Equity Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Structured Large-Cap Equity Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Plus Shares. Institutional Shares and Institutional Plus Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued 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 materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. 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. Futures 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.
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).
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2008–2011), and for the period ended March 31, 2012, 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. 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.
18
Strutured Large-Cap Equity Fund
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 March 31, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $71,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.03% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
Common Stocks | 487,981 | — | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 949 | 200 | — |
Futures Contracts—Assets1 | 3 | — | — |
Total | 488,933 | 200 | — |
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period. | | | |
D. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:
| | | | |
| | | | ($000) |
| | | Aggregate | |
| | Number of | Settlement | Unrealized |
| | Long (Short) | Value | Appreciation |
Futures Contracts | Expiration | Contracts | Long (Short) | (Depreciation) |
E-mini S&P 500 Index | June 2012 | 13 | 912 | 5 |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.

E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at September 30, 2011, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $213,911,000 to offset future net capital gains of $101,200,000 through September 30, 2017, and $112,711,000 through September 30, 2018. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending September 30, 2012; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.
At March 31, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $377,980,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $111,150,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $114,285,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $3,135,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
F. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the fund purchased $132,225,000 of investment securities and sold $133,461,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
G. Capital share transactions for each class of shares were:
| | | | |
| Six Months Ended | | Year Ended |
| March 31, 2012 | September 30, 2011 |
| Amount | Shares | Amount | Shares |
| ($000) | (000) | ($000) | (000) |
Institutional Shares | | | | |
Issued | 222 | 9 | 1,694 | 73 |
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions | — | — | — | — |
Redeemed | (125) | (5) | (92,492) | (4,062) |
Net Increase (Decrease)—Institutional Shares | 97 | 4 | (90,798) | (3,989) |
Institutional Plus Shares | | | | |
Issued | — | — | — | — |
Issued in Lieu of Cash Distributions | 2,999 | 66 | 3,795 | 85 |

Net Increase (Decrease)—Institutional Plus Shares | 2,999 | 66 | (210,058) | (4,649) |
At March 31, 2012, two shareholders were each a record or beneficial owner of 33% or more of the fund’s net assets, with a combined ownership of 97%. If one or more of these shareholders were to redeem their total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.
H. In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Structured Broad Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Structured Broad Market Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Institutional Plus Shares. Institutional Shares and Institutional Plus Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, service, and account-size criteria.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued 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 materially affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value. 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. Futures 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.
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).
3. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2008–2011), and for the period ended March 31, 2012, 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 fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.
31
Structured Broad Market Fund
6. 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.
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 March 31, 2012, the fund had contributed capital of $54,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.02% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
Common Stocks | 371,966 | — | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 2,942 | 200 | — |
Futures Contracts—Assets1 | 5 | — | — |
Total | 374,913 | 200 | — |

D. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts and the related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were:
| | | | |
| | | | ($000) |
| | | Aggregate | |
| | Number of | Settlement | Unrealized |
| | Long (Short) | Value | Appreciation |
Futures Contracts | Expiration | Contracts | Long (Short) | (Depreciation) |
E-mini S&P 500 Index | June 2012 | 18 | 1,263 | 8 |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain (loss) for tax purposes.
E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The fund’s tax-basis capital gains and losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. For tax purposes, at September 30, 2011, the fund had available capital loss carryforwards totaling $63,115,000 to offset future net capital gains of $24,472,000 through September 30, 2017, and $38,643,000 through September 30, 2018. The fund will use these capital losses to offset net taxable capital gains, if any, realized during the year ending September 30, 2012; should the fund realize net capital losses for the year, the losses will be added to the loss carryforward balance above.
At March 31, 2012, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $294,461,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $80,647,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $85,375,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,728,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
F. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the fund purchased $97,890,000 of investment securities and sold $97,988,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Redeemed | — | — | (20,000) | (475) |
Net Increase (Decrease)—Institutional Plus Shares | 1,981 | 44 | (18,297) | (437) |
At March 31, 2012, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 89% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its total investment in the fund, the redemption might result in an increase in the fund’s expense ratio, cause the fund to incur higher transaction costs, or result in the realization of taxable capital gains.
H. In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
34
About Your Fund’s Expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The accompanying table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
• Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The ”Ending Account Value“ shown is derived from the fund‘s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading ”Expenses Paid During Period.“
• Based on hypothetical 5% yearly return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund‘s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case—because the return used is not the fund’s actual return—the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only and do not reflect transaction costs incurred by the fund for buying and selling securities. Further, the expenses do not include any purchase, redemption, or account service fees described in the fund prospectus. If such fees were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Your fund does not carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios, in the Financial Statements section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to your fund’s current prospectus.

Institutional Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,023.80 | $1.21 |
Institutional Plus Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.15 | 0.86 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The funds’ annualized six-month expense ratios for that period are: for the Structured Large-Cap Equity Fund, 0.24% for Institutional Shares and 0.17% for Institutional Plus Shares; for the Structured Broad Market Fund, 0.24% for Institutional Shares and 0.17% for Institutional Plus 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.

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

Glossary
30-Day SEC 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 (for bonds), its actual income (for asset-backed securities), 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.
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.
Dividend Yield. Dividend income earned by stocks, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate market value (or of net asset value, for a fund). The yield is determined by dividing the amount of the annual dividends by the aggregate value (or net asset value) at the end of the period. For a fund, the dividend yield is based solely on stock holdings and does not include any income produced by other investments.
Earnings Growth Rate. The average annual rate of growth in earnings over the past five years for the stocks now in a fund.
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. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Foreign Holdings. The percentage of a fund represented by securities or depositary receipts of companies based outside the United States.
Median Market Cap. An indicator of the size of companies in which a fund invests; the midpoint of market capitalization (market price x shares outstanding) of a fund’s stocks, weighted by the proportion of the fund’s assets invested in each stock. Stocks representing half of the fund’s assets have market capitalizations above the median, and the rest are below it.
Price/Book Ratio. The share price of a stock divided by its net worth, or book value, per share. For a fund, the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.
Price/Earnings Ratio. The ratio of a stock’s current price to its per-share earnings over the past year. For a fund, the weighted average P/E of the stocks it holds. P/E is an indicator of market expectations about corporate prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for a company’s future growth.
38
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.
Return on Equity. The annual average rate of return generated by a company during the past five years for each dollar of shareholder’s equity (net income divided by shareholder’s equity). For a fund, the weighted average return on equity for the companies whose stocks it holds.
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.
39
The People Who Govern Your Fund
The trustees of your mutual fund are there to see that the fund is operated and managed in your best interests since, as a shareholder, you are a part owner of the fund. Your fund’s trustees also serve on the board of directors of The Vanguard Group, Inc., which is owned by the Vanguard funds and provides services to them on an at-cost basis.
A majority of Vanguard’s board members are independent, meaning that they have no affiliation with Vanguard or the funds they oversee, apart from the sizable personal investments they have made as private individuals. The independent board members have distinguished backgrounds in business, academia, and public service. Each of the trustees and executive officers oversees 179 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
