Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• For the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, Vanguard U.S. Value Fund returned about 11%, trailing both its benchmark index and the average return of its peer group. In general, value stocks outpaced their growth counterparts.
• All but one of the fund’s industry sectors posted positive results. The advisor’s stock selection contributed to the fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark.
• Energy, the fund’s second-largest sector holding, weighed most on its result.
Industrials, health care, and materials were among sectors that also detracted from relative performance. Information technology and telecommunication services were the only sectors to beat the benchmark.
• Over the decade ended September 30, the fund’s average annual return was in line with that of its benchmark and slightly ahead of the average return of its peers.

Chairman’s Perspective

Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
If you think you’ve had reason to feel uneasy about the investment environment lately, you’re not imagining things. In just the past few months, we’ve seen economic uncertainty, intense political polarization, and super-low bond yields. Yet at the same time, the stock market kept pushing higher.
In this confusing and sometimes contradictory climate, you may be asking yourself a question that I hear often: How do I make sense of all this, keep investing, and still get a good night’s sleep?
As with any problem, there are multiple ways to go at it. But there’s one approach in particular that is simple, straightforward, and nearly foolproof: Save more money. Not only can saving more give you a greater sense of control over your investment plan, it can help compensate for long-term returns that, in our estimation, could fall short of historical averages.
I love the way one of our investment pros put it. Fran Kinniry this summer told The Wall Street Journal, “Investing is always a partnership between you and the markets.” He explained that the markets carried more than their fair share of the weight for a couple of decades, through the 1990s, providing outsized returns that made the investor’s half of the partnership relatively light work. “But now you are going to have to be the majority partner.”
Sobering? Sure. Hopeless? Definitely not.

Over the 12 months since last September, U.S. stocks returned 15%, though the rise has not been a one-way ticket straight up. International markets have also posted strong returns, but lower than those of the broad U.S. market. The decision by United Kingdom voters in June to exit the European Union came as a surprise but caused market heartburn for only a few days.
In fixed income, yields remained extremely low—about 1.60% on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at the end of September, after dipping below 1.40% over the summer. And bond yields in some international markets were negative.
Even this relatively small window of time illustrates a truism of the financial markets: There will always be segments that perform well and others that don’t. Saving more saves you from trying to control the uncontrollable—how economies and the markets perform. And it keeps you in control of one of the most vital parts of your investment program.
Although the “save more” logic is easy to grasp, it’s not always easy to follow. Bills, illness, the loss of a job—these can affect any of us.
But whatever our circumstances, figuring out how to save more is worth the effort. It requires that we make difficult decisions to forgo some consumption today to increase the likelihood of consuming (or consuming more) in the future. This is the very heart of investing. Sacrifices are never fun, so consider carrying them out systematically and in doses that you

can be comfortable with—for instance, gradually getting up to the max in your IRA, or adding a percentage point or so to the amount you stash in your employer’s retirement plan. As a point of reference, we generally suggest that investors strive for a retirement savings rate of 12%–15%, including any employer contributions.
If you need more convincing about the wisdom of the “save more” course of action, it might be helpful to examine your alternatives. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it hits on a few of the big ones, and none are without risk.
• Reach for yield. With yields so low on many types of bonds, it’s tempting to find the corners of the fixed income market where payouts are juicier. But with the juice comes considerable risk. You need to be aware that you’d be taking on more risk—and how much more.
• Go all-in on a hot-performing asset class or fund. By now, you know better than that, right?
• Sit tight. This approach isn’t a terrible idea; it’s better than panicking and deciding to just “do something,” particularly if that means changing your approach in response to the market’s movements.
Here’s the inescapably challenging part of your partnership with the markets: In the short run, your “partner” is fickle, emotional, and wildly unpredictable. But in the long run, your partner is mostly rational and extremely helpful.
The best way to minimize your vulnerability to the market’s mood swings, and to maximize the benefit of your partner’s longer-term strengths, is to expect less and save more. Maybe the markets will deliver better-than-expected returns. Maybe they’ll be consistent with our more modest expectations. In either case, a higher savings rate can help put you in a better position to reach your goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.

Advisor’s Report
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the U.S. Value Fund returned 11.09%. It lagged the benchmark Russell 3000 Value Index by more than 5 percentage points.
The broad U.S. equity market was up 14.96%. U.S. growth stocks, which returned 13.64%, lagged the 16.38% result for their value counterparts. Small-capitalization stocks returned 15.47%, outperforming large- and mid-cap stocks, which returned 14.93%.
Globally, developed markets performed more weakly, with the MSCI EAFE Index returning 6.52%. In comparison, emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, rose 16.78%. Each of the 11 industry sectors in the Russell 3000 Value Index generated positive returns. Results were best among materials, information technology, and industrial companies, but they were only mildly positive among consumer discretionary and financial firms.
Growth around the globe remained subdued. The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 0.8% in the first quarter of 2016 and 1.4% in the second. The second-quarter increase reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, exports, and nonresidential fixed investments, but declines in private inventory investment and residential fixed investment weighed on the economy.
The International Monetary Fund estimated global growth at 2.9% for the first half of 2016, slightly weaker than for the second half of 2015. Brexit is still unfolding, as the long-term arrangements between the United Kingdom and the European Union will be uncertain for some time. Commodity prices have partly recovered. After hitting a ten-year low in January 2016, oil prices rallied by 50 percent to $45 in August, mostly because of production outages. Nonfuel commodity prices have also increased, with metals prices rising 12% and agricultural commodity prices up 9%.
Although it’s important to understand how overall portfolio performance is affected by these macroeconomic factors, we emphasize that our investment process focuses on specific stock fundamentals and portfolio characteristics. Our stock selection model evaluates companies within our investment universe to identify those with attractive characteristics that we believe will outperform over the long run.
To do this, we use a strict quantitative process that focuses on a combination of five key themes: high quality—healthy balance sheets and consistent cash-flow generation; effective use of capital—sound investment policies that favor internal over external funding; consistent earnings growth—a demonstrated ability to grow earnings year after year; strong market sentiment—market confirmation of our view; and reasonable valuation—avoidance of overpriced stocks.
The interaction of these themes generates an opinion on all the stocks in our universe each day. Using the results of our model, we then construct our portfolio with the goal of maximizing expected return, while minimizing exposure to risks that our
6
research indicates do not improve returns, such as industry selection and other risks relative to our benchmark.
Our portfolio focuses on the attractive stocks identified by the model that we expect will exhibit future outperformance; however, as with any investment management process, there will be periods when our model does not perform as expected. Unfortunately, over the latest fiscal year, the stocks that outperformed had characteristics that our model does not pursue. Although we are disappointed with the performance results, it is important to remind our investors that through different market environments, we maintain our commitment to invest in stocks with attractive fundamentals that we believe will outperform in the long run.
For the 12-month period, our valuation and management decisions models helped performance, while our growth and quality models were weaker. However, our sentiment model was a large detractor from the fund’s performance. We always maintain a positive view of each of our five submodels, but we recently introduced a dynamic weighting process that shifts their relative importance through time. This process successfully underweighted the sentiment component and increased the weight of the management decisions component, which mitigated our underperformance over the period.
Our stock selection results across sectors were disappointing, as we were able to produce positive selections only in real estate, information technology, and telecommunication services. In real estate, our most successful positions included Government Properties Income Trust (+59.2%), Digital Realty Trust (+68.4%), and Communications Sales & Leasing (+82.1%). Performance in IT was driven by AMD (+191.6%), NeoPhotonics (+139.9%), and NVIDIA (+181.3%). Telecom benefited from our positions in Verizon (+25.1%) and Cincinnati Bell (+30.8%).
We were not able to match the outperformance across the remaining sectors, and our stock selection results were the most disappointing in energy, industrials, and financials. In energy, Alon USA Energy (–62.2%), Teekay Tankers (–56.2%), and Noble (–39.9%) significantly detracted. Industrial holdings JetBlue Airways (–33.1%), Alaska Air Group (–15.9%), and Spirit AeroSystems (–7.9%) similarly did not perform as expected. In financials, Santander (–42.4%), MGIC Investment (–37.9%), and Heritage Insurance (–25.9%) hurt results.

U.S. Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard U.S. Value Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values 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).
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.
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, 2013–2016), 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.
18
U.S. Value Fund
5. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
6. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
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. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
19
U.S. Value Fund
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $106,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.04% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
Common Stocks | 1,367,449 | — | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 23,042 | 400 | — |
Futures Contracts—Assets1 | 40 | — | — |
Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 | (3) | — | — |
Total | 1,390,528 | 400 | — |
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period. | | | |
D. At September 30, 2016, 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 | December 2016 | 56 | 6,049 | 16 |
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.
20
U.S. Value Fund
The fund used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains. Accordingly, the fund has reclassified $3,447,000 from undistributed net investment income, and $2,415,000 from accumulated net realized gains, to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $21,845,000 of ordinary income and $20,894,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,241,840,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $149,051,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $175,851,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $26,800,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
F. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $1,050,186,000 of investment securities and sold $993,559,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard U.S. Value 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 U.S. Value Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2016, 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 September 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2016 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard U.S. Value Fund
This information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund distributed $51,216,000 as capital gain dividends (20% rate gain distributions) to shareholders during the fiscal year.
The fund distributed $26,754,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.
For corporate shareholders, 81.8% of investment income (dividend income plus short-term gains, if any) qualifies for the dividends-received deduction.
22
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 2016. (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 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.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2016 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
U.S. Value Fund | 3/31/2016 | 9/30/2016 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $1,060.23 | $1.18 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | 1,000.00 | 1,023.85 | 1.16 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.23%. 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 (183/366).

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.
26
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.
27
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 198 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides 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. 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.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• The fund returned 11.36% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2016, trailing its
benchmark (+16.38%) and the average return of its peers (+12.39%).
• All industry sectors represented in the fund posted positive results.
• The fund’s information technology (+14%) and health care (+2%) stocks underperformed
compared with their benchmark counterparts, pulling down its relative performance.
In health care, the shortfall was driven mainly by some of the fund’s pharmaceutical
holdings, which declined amid regulatory and drug market issues.
• The fund’s materials portfolio (+32%) outperformed because of the advisor’s
overweighting of the sector. Its consumer discretionary stocks (+18%) also bested those
in the benchmark.
• Financial stocks returned a modest 4% for the fund, trailing their counterparts in the
benchmark. However, an underweighting of this sector—the fund’s largest—helped its
relative performance.
• The fund’s average annual return for the ten years ended September 30, 2016, closely
trailed that of its benchmark index and outdistanced that of its fund peers.

Chairman’s Perspective

Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
If you think you’ve had reason to feel uneasy about the investment environment lately, you’re not imagining things. In just the past few months, we’ve seen economic uncertainty, intense political polarization, and super-low bond yields. Yet at the same time, the stock market kept pushing higher.
In this confusing and sometimes contradictory climate, you may be asking yourself a question that I hear often: How do I make sense of all this, keep investing, and still get a good night’s sleep?
As with any problem, there are multiple ways to go at it. But there’s one approach in particular that is simple, straightforward, and nearly foolproof: Save more money. Not only can saving more give you a greater sense of control over your investment plan, it can help compensate for long-term returns that, in our estimation, could fall short of historical averages.
I love the way one of our investment pros put it. Fran Kinniry this summer told The Wall Street Journal, “Investing is always a partnership between you and the markets.” He explained that the markets carried more than their fair share of the weight for a couple of decades, through the 1990s, providing outsized returns that made the investor’s half of the partnership relatively light work. “But now you are going to have to be the majority partner.”
Sobering? Sure. Hopeless? Definitely not.

Over the 12 months since last September, U.S. stocks returned 15%, though the rise has not been a one-way ticket straight up. International markets have also posted strong returns, but lower than those of the broad U.S. market. The decision by United Kingdom voters in June to exit the European Union came as a surprise but caused market heartburn for only a few days.
In fixed income, yields remained extremely low—about 1.60% on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at the end of September, after dipping below 1.40% over the summer. And bond yields in some international markets were negative.
Even this relatively small window of time illustrates a truism of the financial markets: There will always be segments that perform well and others that don’t. Saving more saves you from trying to control the uncontrollable—how economies and the markets perform. And it keeps you in control of one of the most vital parts of your investment program.
Although the “save more” logic is easy to grasp, it’s not always easy to follow. Bills, illness, the loss of a job—these can affect any of us.
But whatever our circumstances, figuring out how to save more is worth the effort. It requires that we make difficult decisions to forgo some consumption today to increase the likelihood of consuming (or consuming more) in the future. This is the very heart of investing. Sacrifices are never fun, so consider carrying them out systematically and in doses that you

can be comfortable with—for instance, gradually getting up to the max in your IRA, or adding a percentage point or so to the amount you stash in your employer’s retirement plan. As a point of reference, we generally suggest that investors strive for a retirement savings rate of 12%–15%, including any employer contributions.
If you need more convincing about the wisdom of the “save more” course of action, it might be helpful to examine your alternatives. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it hits on a few of the big ones, and none are without risk.
• Reach for yield. With yields so low on many types of bonds, it’s tempting to find the corners of the fixed income market where payouts are juicier. But with the juice comes considerable risk. You need to be aware that you’d be taking on more risk—and how much more.
• Go all-in on a hot-performing asset class or fund. By now, you know better than that, right?
• Sit tight. This approach isn’t a terrible idea; it’s better than panicking and deciding to just “do something,” particularly if that means changing your approach in response to the market’s movements.
Here’s the inescapably challenging part of your partnership with the markets: In the short run, your “partner” is fickle, emotional, and wildly unpredictable. But in the long run, your partner is mostly rational and extremely helpful.
The best way to minimize your vulnerability to the market’s mood swings, and to maximize the benefit of your partner’s longer-term strengths, is to expect less and save more. Maybe the markets will deliver better-than-expected returns. Maybe they’ll be consistent with our more modest expectations. In either case, a higher savings rate can help put you in a better position to reach your goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Advisor’s Report
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the Capital Value Fund returned 11.36%. The fund’s performance reflects the management of the fund by Wellington Management Company llp, which will mark its 15th anniversary as the fund’s advisor in December.
As was announced in July, Peter Higgins, one of the two Wellington managers who had independently overseen a portion of the portfolio, no longer serves as an advisor. The remaining manager, David W. Palmer, now has sole responsibility for the portfolio.
Mr. Palmer has prepared the following discussion of the investment environment that existed during the 12-month period and of how the portfolio positioning reflects his assessment. These comments were prepared on October 17, 2016.
Portfolio Manager: David W. Palmer, CFA Senior Managing Director
We focus on stocks that trade at a discounted multiple to the broad market, based on current earnings or those we expect to materialize within a reasonable time horizon. Our approach searches for companies with pronounced negative sentiment, controversy, or perceived event risk that we believe, as a result of fundamental research and analysis, to be temporary or overstated. Because individual holdings can be out of phase with the market for extended periods, we seek to build a portfolio of stocks with unique drivers, diversified across capitalization sizes and industries.
Investors experienced a wide range of economic and market ups and downs over the 12 months, culminating in a double-digit total return. The year included many mixed messages on the pace of global activity, such as when the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan felt the need to push through additional policy easing—including negative interest rates and purchases of domestic securities—to encourage borrowing and spending in those regions.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve initiated its first interest rate increase in December, a move that was well-telegraphed. Stock prices started calendar 2016 on shaky footing, particularly for cyclical industries and financials, as investors worried about news from China, including the potential for a significant devaluation of the nation’s currency, the renminbi. Those concerns have abated since the February lows, and despite the temporary shock to equities from the June vote by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, improving sentiment helped lift stocks nicely through the end of September.
In recent months, as the two separately managed portfolios were consolidated into one, we reduced the total number of holdings from 150 to 87.

The primary driver of the fund’s performance gap versus the Russell 3000 Value Index was security selection in the information technology, health care, and energy sectors. Strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors helped to offset some of the drag. Sector allocation helped relative returns, particularly the underweight allocation to financials and overweight allocations to materials and information technology. (Note that for the attribution analysis, real estate was included in the financial sector through August 31, when a new real estate sector was created under the Global Industry Classification Standard, bringing the number of GICS sectors to 11.)
Among individual stocks, Cobalt International Energy, an offshore energy explorer; SunEdison, a renewable energy producer; and Portola Pharmaceuticals, a developer of hematology-focused drugs, were the primary detractors from relative results. SunEdison and Portola Pharmaceuticals were eliminated from the portfolio. Top contributors to relative performance included Las Vegas Sands, the casino operator; Pioneer Natural Resources, a Permian Basin energy producer; and Tesaro, a developer of oncology drugs. Avoiding Wells Fargo, a large benchmark constituent, also benefited results; the banking and financial services provider has been scrutinized lately for its sales tactics.
Portfolio positioning shifted during the year, in part because of the fund structure changes, although we have also pivoted weightings to track where we see the greatest value emerging. At period-end, the largest portfolio overweights relative to the Russell 3000 Value benchmark were in the health care, consumer discretionary, and materials sectors. Health care stocks, in particular many in the pharmaceutical and biotech subsectors, have fallen notably out of favor with investors in 2016 as market participants have focused on industry-wide pricing pressures and as volume benefits from implementation of the Affordable Care Act have tailed off.
In addition, a more skeptical attitude toward future innovation potential has taken hold as some high-profile clinical trials have produced more nuanced or, in some cases, unexpected negative results. Our team’s outlook for health care is that companies demonstrating real innovation and those who can reduce systemic costs will reap benefits, to the detriment of companies offering me-too solutions or purely pricing-driven earnings growth.
Amid sharp swings in stock prices, we have built up our larger health care exposures along these twin fronts, favoring companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, Tesaro, Biogen, and Regeneron on the drug discovery side. On the cost-savings theme, we have identified attractive risk-reward balance in generics producers such as Teva Pharmaceutical and the recently controversial Mylan, and in urgent care outsourcer Envision Healthcare.

Within the consumer discretionary area, we have initiated holdings in several stocks, all of which have declined to attractively discounted valuation multiples for reasons we consider to be only temporary. For example, SES, the Luxembourg-based satellite communications concern, has come under pressure from sellers worried about the future of broadcast video and overcapacity in certain segments of the broadband data transmission market. We see the company as a good value for its legacy business, with high-growth potential coming out of its unique medium Earth orbit satellites, which are closer to the ground than geostationary satellites for TV. This technology provides fast broadband to cruise ships, offshore energy platforms, and other remote locations.
Delphi Automotive, an auto parts and systems supplier, also declined off its highs amid concerns about slowing global car sales. We believe that Delphi, which is trading at a wide discount to the market on consensus 2017 earnings, is attractively positioned in next-generation technologies for assisted driving and fully autonomous vehicles. The company’s balance sheet and cash generation capabilities, as a result of restructuring its legacy liabilities during the financial crisis, leave Delphi in solid shape to weather a downturn if current softness is a harbinger of lower industry demand. Ultimately, we believe Delphi stacks up well against other cyclicals, many of which have seen their year-to-date share price performance run well ahead of their earnings-growth prospects.
Our base case outlook for the coming year, in consultation with Wellington’s macroeconomics team, is for modest positive near-term growth, with incremental acceleration to a more constructive environment in 2017. At this late stage of the economic expansion, however, we acknowledge the many potential global shocks, policy missteps, and risk-off sentiment swings that could pop up at any time to derail this more favorable scenario.
For those reasons, we continue to monitor the debt levels and access to liquidity of the companies in the portfolio, with the goal of steering away from the market’s more highly levered companies. In the same way, we are also less charitable in our thinking toward those stocks that require significant sales volume recovery to navigate their way through any current difficulties.
We firmly believe that the portfolio today attractively balances an appropriate level of downside risk with a highly appealing level of upside revaluation potential, and we are grateful to the Capital Value shareholders for the opportunity to prove that balance will be a winning one in the future.

Capital Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Capital Value Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. 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. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. 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. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counter-party may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment
18
Capital Value Fund
amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Repurchase Agreements: The fund enters into repurchase agreements with institutional counter-parties. Securities pledged as collateral to the fund under repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature, and in the absence of a default, such collateral cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into repurchase agreements only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master repurchase agreements with its counter-parties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
5. 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, 2013–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
6. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
7. Securities Lending: To earn additional income, the fund lends its securities to qualified institutional borrowers. Security loans are subject to termination by the fund at any time, and are required to be secured at all times by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. The fund further mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into securities lending transactions only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, and entering into master securities lending agreements with its counterparties. The master securities lending agreements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any loans with that borrower, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund; however, such actions may be subject to legal proceedings. While collateral mitigates counterparty risk, in the absence of a default the fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability in the Statement of Net Assets
19
Capital Value Fund
for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Securities lending income represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. During the term of the loan, the fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities.
8. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
9. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. Wellington Management Company LLP provides investment advisory services to the fund for a fee calculated at an annual percentage rate of average net assets. The basic fee is subject to quarterly adjustments based on the fund’s performance relative to the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Float Adjusted Index for the preceding three years. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.22% of the fund’s average net assets before a decrease of $1,956,000 (0.20%) based on performance.
C. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $72,000, 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 employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
D. The fund has asked its investment advisor 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 year ended September 30, 2016, these arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $16,000 (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).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
Common Stocks | 861,297 | 55,901 | 1,861 |

F. At September 30, 2016, the fund had open forward currency contracts to receive and deliver currencies as follows. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open forward currency contracts is 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.
21
Capital Value Fund
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $51,000, 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 September 30, 2016, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $276,000, 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.
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $11,307,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available capital losses totaling $167,264,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $864,743,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $75,758,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $112,450,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $36,692,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
H. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $1,317,966,000 of investment securities and sold $1,526,808,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Capital Value 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 Capital Value Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2016, 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 September 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2016 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard Capital Value Fund
This information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund distributed $66,042,000 as capital gain dividends (20% rate gain distributions) 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 $14,768,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.
For corporate shareholders, 78.9% of investment income (dividend income plus short-term gains, if any) qualifies for the dividends-received deduction.
23
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 2016. (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 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.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2016 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
Capital Value Fund | 3/31/2016 | 9/30/2016 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $1,100.48 | $1.47 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | 1,000.00 | 1,023.60 | 1.42 |
The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period 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 (183/366).

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.
27
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 198 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides 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. 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.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• For the year ended September 30, 2016, Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund returned 2.48% for Investor Shares, slightly behind its benchmark (+2.62%). The fund’s return was behind that of peer funds, a group that includes longer-maturity holdings, which returned more than shorter-maturity Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS).
• Global investors sought higher yields from U.S.-backed bonds, compared with those from sovereign bonds in other developed nations. TIPS’ popularity lifted their prices and lowered their yields. Investor Shares’ 30-day SEC yield began the fiscal year at 0.37% and ended at –0.40%.
• A measure of expected inflation over the next five years (the gap between nominal and TIPS yields) widened from 1.12% to 1.42%.
• To minimize the risk of overdistributing income—a recordkeeping headache for investors—the fund has withheld income distributions since December 2014. Distributions will resume when sufficient income is available.

Chairman’s Perspective

Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
If you think you’ve had reason to feel uneasy about the investment environment lately, you’re not imagining things. In just the past few months, we’ve seen economic uncertainty, intense political polarization, and super-low bond yields. Yet at the same time, the stock market kept pushing higher.
In this confusing and sometimes contradictory climate, you may be asking yourself a question that I hear often: How do I make sense of all this, keep investing, and still get a good night’s sleep?
As with any problem, there are multiple ways to go at it. But there’s one approach in particular that is simple, straightforward, and nearly foolproof: Save more money. Not only can saving more give you a greater sense of control over your investment plan, it can help compensate for long-term returns that, in our estimation, could fall short of historical averages.
I love the way one of our investment pros put it. Fran Kinniry this summer told The Wall Street Journal, “Investing is always a partnership between you and the markets.” He explained that the markets carried more than their fair share of the weight for a couple of decades, through the 1990s, providing outsized returns that made the investor’s half of the partnership relatively light work. “But now you are going to have to be the majority partner.”
Sobering? Sure. Hopeless? Definitely not.

Over the 12 months since last September, U.S. stocks returned 15%, though the rise has not been a one-way ticket straight up. International markets have also posted strong returns, but lower than those of the broad U.S. market. The decision by United Kingdom voters in June to exit the European Union came as a surprise but caused market heartburn for only a few days.
In fixed income, yields remained extremely low—about 1.60% on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at the end of September, after dipping below 1.40% over the summer. And bond yields in some international markets were negative.
Even this relatively small window of time illustrates a truism of the financial markets: There will always be segments that perform well and others that don’t. Saving more saves you from trying to control the uncontrollable—how economies and the markets perform. And it keeps you in control of one of the most vital parts of your investment program.
Although the “save more” logic is easy to grasp, it’s not always easy to follow. Bills, illness, the loss of a job—these can affect any of us.
But whatever our circumstances, figuring out how to save more is worth the effort. It requires that we make difficult decisions to forgo some consumption today to increase the likelihood of consuming (or consuming more) in the future. This is the very heart of investing. Sacrifices are never fun, so consider carrying them out systematically and in doses that you

can be comfortable with—for instance, gradually getting up to the max in your IRA, or adding a percentage point or so to the amount you stash in your employer’s retirement plan. As a point of reference, we generally suggest that investors strive for a retirement savings rate of 12%–15%, including any employer contributions.
If you need more convincing about the wisdom of the “save more” course of action, it might be helpful to examine your alternatives. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it hits on a few of the big ones, and none are without risk.
• Reach for yield. With yields so low on many types of bonds, it’s tempting to find the corners of the fixed income market where payouts are juicier. But with the juice comes considerable risk. You need to be aware that you’d be taking on more risk—and how much more.
• Go all-in on a hot-performing asset class or fund. By now, you know better than that, right?
• Sit tight. This approach isn’t a terrible idea; it’s better than panicking and deciding to just “do something,” particularly if that means changing your approach in response to the market’s movements.
Here’s the inescapably challenging part of your partnership with the markets: In the short run, your “partner” is fickle, emotional, and wildly unpredictable. But in the long run, your partner is mostly rational and extremely helpful.
The best way to minimize your vulnerability to the market’s mood swings, and to maximize the benefit of your partner’s longer-term strengths, is to expect less and save more. Maybe the markets will deliver better-than-expected returns. Maybe they’ll be consistent with our more modest expectations. In either case, a higher savings rate can help put you in a better position to reach your goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

Distribution by Credit Quality (% of portfolio) |
U.S. Government | 100.0% |
Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody's, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. "Not Rated" is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.
The agency and mortgage-backed securities sectors may include issues from government-sponsored enterprises; such issues are generally not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Distribution by Effective Maturity | |
(% of portfolio) | |
Under 1 Year | 17.7% |
1 - 3 Years | 36.5 |
3 - 5 Years | 45.8 |

1 The expense ratios shown are from the prospectus dated January 27, 2016, and represent estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2016, the expense ratios were 0.16% for Investor Shares, 0.07% for ETF Shares, 0.07% for Admiral Shares, and 0.04% for
Institutional Shares.
2 Yields of inflation-protected securities tend to be lower than those of nominal bonds, because the former do not incorporate market expectations
about inflation. The principal amounts—and thus the interest payments—of inflation-protected securities are adjusted over time to reflect inflation.

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

Inflation-Protected Bond Funds Average: Derived from data provided by Lipper, a Thomson Reuters Company.
"Since Inception" performance is calculated from the Investor Shares’ inception date for both the fund and its comparative standards.

Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund offers four classes of shares: Investor Shares, ETF Shares, Admiral Shares, and Institutional Shares. Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. ETF Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq; they can be purchased and sold through a broker. Admiral Shares and Institutional 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values 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).
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 0% of net assets, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at September 30, 2016.
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, 2013–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
6. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Inflation adjustments to the face amount of inflation-indexed securities are included in interest income. 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. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,240,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.50% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 16,406,477 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 7,332 | — | — |
Total | 7,332 | 16,406,477 | — |
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.
Certain of the fund’s U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed securities experienced deflation and amortization adjustments that reduced interest income and the cost of investments for financial statement purposes by an amount greater than the reduction of taxable income; the additional income reduction will be deferred for tax purposes until it is used to offset future inflation adjustments that increase taxable income. The difference becomes permanent if the securities are sold. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund realized gains of $1,585,000 that were included in ordinary income for tax purposes as a result of deferred deflation and amortization adjustments; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Deferred inflation and amortization adjustments to securities held at September 30, 2016, totaling $3,759,000 are reflected as a reduction of the amount of tax-basis unrealized appreciation of investment securities.
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund realized $27,979,000 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.
21
Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $67,282,000 of ordinary income available for distribution and available capital losses totaling $85,072,000 that may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future net capital gains.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $16,297,230,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $116,579,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $122,385,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $5,806,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
E. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $7,861,740,000 of investment securities and sold $4,318,089,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $912,178,000 and $321,172,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities 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 Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2016, 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 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 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 September 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.65 | 0.35 |
Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.85 | 0.15 |
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 0.17% for Investor Shares, 0.06% for ETF Shares, 0.07% for Admiral Shares, and 0.03% for Institutional 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 (183/366).

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.
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the fund’s bonds will fluctuate in response to a change in “real” interest rates—meaning rates without inflation expectations built in. Real interest rates are reflected in market yields for inflation-adjusted securities. To see how the fund’s bond values could change, multiply the average duration by the change in real rates. For example, if the average duration were five years, then the value of the fund’s bonds would decline by about 5% if real interest rates rose by 1 percentage point. Conversely, if real rates fell by a percentage point, the value of the bonds would rise about 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Barclays and are from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. When ratings from all three agencies are used, the median rating is shown. When ratings from two of the agencies are used, the lower rating for each issue is shown. “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
26
Yield to Maturity. This term generally refers to the rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates. For the Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund, the calculation is modified by adding in the inflation adjustment made over the past 12 months. This change results in a figure more directly comparable to the yield-to-maturity figures for other types of bond funds. (An unmodified yield to maturity is used in calculating the fund’s 30-Day SEC Yield.)

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• Vanguard Core Bond Fund has returned well over 3% since its launch this spring, outpacing its benchmark and edging ahead of the average return of its peers.
• Demand for U.S. taxable bonds benefited from concerns about global growth, the ability of central banks to lift inflation, and the “Brexit” vote. The Federal Reserve’s decision to leave rates unchanged and U.S. bonds’ comparatively high yields for international investors also helped.
• The fund’s holdings in asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities boosted relative performance.
• Its favoring of BBB-rated bonds also contributed.
• Corporate bonds did well as yields fell and credit spreads tightened. Selection among the bonds of banks, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, and technology companies added value.
• The fund’s allocation to inflation-protected securities was modestly positive.

Chairman’s Perspective

Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
If you think you’ve had reason to feel uneasy about the investment environment lately, you’re not imagining things. In just the past few months, we’ve seen economic uncertainty, intense political polarization, and super-low bond yields. Yet at the same time, the stock market kept pushing higher.
In this confusing and sometimes contradictory climate, you may be asking yourself a question that I hear often: How do I make sense of all this, keep investing, and still get a good night’s sleep?
As with any problem, there are multiple ways to go at it. But there’s one approach in particular that is simple, straightforward, and nearly foolproof: Save more money. Not only can saving more give you a greater sense of control over your investment plan, it can help compensate for long-term returns that, in our estimation, could fall short of historical averages.
I love the way one of our investment pros put it. Fran Kinniry this summer told The Wall Street Journal, “Investing is always a partnership between you and the markets.” He explained that the markets carried more than their fair share of the weight for a couple of decades, through the 1990s, providing outsized returns that made the investor’s half of the partnership relatively light work. “But now you are going to have to be the majority partner.”
Sobering? Sure. Hopeless? Definitely not.

Over the 12 months since last September, U.S. stocks returned 15%, though the rise has not been a one-way ticket straight up. International markets have also posted strong returns, but lower than those of the broad U.S. market. The decision by United Kingdom voters in June to exit the European Union came as a surprise but caused market heartburn for only a few days.
In fixed income, yields remained extremely low—about 1.60% on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at the end of September, after dipping below 1.40% over the summer. And bond yields in some international markets were negative.
Even this relatively small window of time illustrates a truism of the financial markets: There will always be segments that perform well and others that don’t. Saving more saves you from trying to control the uncontrollable—how economies and the markets perform. And it keeps you in control of one of the most vital parts of your investment program.
Although the “save more” logic is easy to grasp, it’s not always easy to follow. Bills, illness, the loss of a job—these can affect any of us.
But whatever our circumstances, figuring out how to save more is worth the effort. It requires that we make difficult decisions to forgo some consumption today to increase the likelihood of consuming (or consuming more) in the future. This is the very heart of investing. Sacrifices are never fun, so consider carrying them out systematically and in doses that you

can be comfortable with—for instance, gradually getting up to the max in your IRA, or adding a percentage point or so to the amount you stash in your employer’s retirement plan. As a point of reference, we generally suggest that investors strive for a retirement savings rate of 12%–15%, including any employer contributions.
If you need more convincing about the wisdom of the “save more” course of action, it might be helpful to examine your alternatives. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it hits on a few of the big ones, and none are without risk.
• Reach for yield. With yields so low on many types of bonds, it’s tempting to find the corners of the fixed income market where payouts are juicier. But with the juice comes considerable risk. You need to be aware that you’d be taking on more risk—and how much more.
• Go all-in on a hot-performing asset class or fund. By now, you know better than that, right?
• Sit tight. This approach isn’t a terrible idea; it’s better than panicking and deciding to just “do something,” particularly if that means changing your approach in response to the market’s movements.
Here’s the inescapably challenging part of your partnership with the markets: In the short run, your “partner” is fickle, emotional, and wildly unpredictable. But in the long run, your partner is mostly rational and extremely helpful.
The best way to minimize your vulnerability to the market’s mood swings, and to maximize the benefit of your partner’s longer-term strengths, is to expect less and save more. Maybe the markets will deliver better-than-expected returns. Maybe they’ll be consistent with our more modest expectations. In either case, a higher savings rate can help put you in a better position to reach your goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

F. William McNabb III

Advisor’s Report
Since its launch on March 28, 2016, Vanguard Core Bond Fund returned 3.57% for Investor Shares and 3.67% for Admiral Shares. Those performances were a little better than the 3.31% return of the benchmark (the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index) and the average return of 3.54% for peer funds.
The investment environment
Britain’s vote to leave the European Union caught global capital markets off guard. Stocks showed some nervousness ahead of the referendum, then tumbled in the immediate aftermath of the vote, known as “Brexit,” before regaining much of their lost ground by the end of June. Despite credit rating agency downgrades, yields of U.K. government bonds headed lower. So did those of most developed-market government bonds as investors sought out assets perceived to be less risky.
Another support for bonds over the period was accommodative monetary policy. The European Central Bank kept its overnight interest rate on banks’ excess reserves below zero and continued buying sovereign and corporate bonds with the aim of keeping borrowing costs low. In July, the Bank of Japan increased its asset purchases. And in August, the Bank of England cut interest rates to an all-time low and expanded its bond-buying program.
Stateside, the Federal Reserve pushed out the timing of further short-term rate hikes. Ongoing concerns about weak growth abroad and uncertainty about the ramifications of Brexit helped stay the Fed’s hand in June. Although the markets thought rates might rise in September, policymakers again chose to stand pat, citing further scope for improvement in employment and inflation.
This environment was positive for U.S. government bonds. Demand from yield-starved investors—both domestic and international—drove U.S. Treasury yields lower, especially those of longer-dated securities. From the fund’s inception to the close of the period, the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell about 30 basis points to 1.60%.
Investment-grade corporate bonds also did well; the average spread between their yields and those of Treasuries ground 26 basis points tighter to 138 basis points. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.) The spreads of bonds issued by companies in basic industries and energy in particular narrowed significantly.
Management of the fund
An overweighted allocation to securitized debt added value. Included in that category are commercial mortgage-backed securities—pooled mortgages on commercial properties, which performed well. Asset-backed securities, another segment of securitized debt typically backed by auto loans, credit-card debt, and student loans, made a smaller contribution.
5
The spread in yields between corporate bonds and Treasuries narrowed as investors grew comfortable with taking on higher risk for more yield. Lower-rated investment-grade bonds outperformed their higher-rated counterparts, which favored our tilt toward BBB-rated bonds.
Overall, our corporate bond holdings made a solid contribution. Security selection in financials was strong, notably among banks, insurance companies, and real estate investment trusts.
We also benefited from the strength in industrials early on by adding debt issued by energy and metals and mining companies. These became attractively valued because of the slump in commodity prices and the dimmer outlook for global growth. Although our timing was good, our underweighted allocation to industrials dragged on the relative performance of our corporate bond holdings. A slight overweighting of emerging-market bonds made a positive contribution even though their spreads had already tightened significantly before the launch of the fund.
Our portfolio also included Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, which are not part of the benchmark index. Because we believed inflation would edge higher, we felt TIPS offered value relative to nominal Treasury bonds. Some of the factors supporting that view included the Fed’s holding rates lower for longer, wages ticking higher, some improvement in the price of oil, and the prospect of fiscal stimulus through infrastructure spending. The return from this allocation was modestly positive.
We kept the fund’s average duration close to that of the benchmark index. (Duration is a measure of sensitivity, measured in years, of a fund’s holdings to changes in interest rates.) It stood at 5.8 years at the end of the period.
Outlook
The U.S. economy looks set to remain on relatively solid footing. The labor market should achieve the Fed’s full employment target. Job creation has slowed from last year, but continuing wage gains could boost demand and push inflation higher. Current low mortgage rates and muted inflation are likely to support home buying, mortgage refinancing, and consumer spending. These trends should help the economy grow at a modest rate.
In formulating our inflation outlook, we remain positive about underlying trends when we exclude the highly volatile commodity prices from most measures. Oil market imbalances have depressed energy prices during the past two years but appear to be moving toward balance. They should provide a modest uplift to headline inflation in the coming year.
U.S. monetary policy should remain cautious and accommodative. No matter when the Fed makes its next rate hike, we believe its short-term rate target isn’t likely to go above 1% over the next few years.
6
Central bank policy in the United Kingdom, the Eurozone, and China looks set to remain accommodative in the face of weak or slowing growth. This should keep U.S. yields attractive to international investors. Given that, and our outlook for modest growth and inflation at home, we also don’t expect to see a material rise in government bond yields farther out along the curve.
With regard to corporate bonds, we continue to hold significant positions in very liquid assets. This should give us the flexibility to take advantage of any dislocations in pricing that may arise if volatility picks up.
Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the fund’s performance.

Core Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Core Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries. 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. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and 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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility
35
Core Bond Fund
of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearing-house is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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).
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 11% and 6% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. 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. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 3% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
36
Core Bond Fund
5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.
The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.
The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypoth-ecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination.
37
Core Bond Fund
The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented less than 1% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 2% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
6. Options: The fund invests in options contracts on futures and swaps to adjust its exposure to the underlying investments. The primary risk associated with purchasing options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options is that the value of the underlying investments may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received.
The fund invests in options on futures, which are exchange-traded. Counterparty risk involving exchange-traded options on futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades options on futures on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouses, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers.
The fund invests in options on swaps (swaptions), which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaptions with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength.
38
Core Bond Fund
Options on futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. Swaptions are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.
7. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.
8. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future. The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

9. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended September 30, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
10. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
11. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
12. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $49,000, 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 employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

1 Forward interest rate swap. In a forwad interest rate swap, the fund and the counterparty agree to make periodic net payments beginning on a specified future effective date.
2 Based on 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as of the most recent payment date.
E. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from 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 gains or losses are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $40,000, (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.
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 $213,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized losses of $8,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $3,967,000 of ordinary income available for distribution.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $682,239,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,932,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $8,571,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $639,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

F. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $337,875,000 of investment securities and sold $95,312,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $1,395,902,000 and $1,046,755,000, respectively.
The fund purchased securities from and sold securities to other Vanguard funds or accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board of trustees in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For the period ended September 30, 2016, such purchases and sales were $5,428,000 and $10,240,000, respectively; these amounts are included in the purchases and sales of investment securities noted above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Core Bond Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets, statement of assets and liabilities 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 Core Bond Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2016, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period March 10, 2016 (commencement of subscription period) through September 30, 2016, 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the current period. The fund’s annualized expense ratios for that period are 0.13% for Investor Shares and 0.08% 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 current period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/366).

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.
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 198 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides 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. 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.

About the cover: No matter what language you speak, Vanguard has one consistent message and set of principles. Our primary focus is on you, our clients. We conduct our business with integrity as a faithful steward of your assets. This message is shown translated into seven languages, reflecting our expanding global presence.
Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned more than 13% for the nearly seven months from its inception through September 30, 2016, well ahead of its benchmark and the average return of its peers.
• Monetary policy among the world’s largest central banks remained supportive of global bonds. The Federal Reserve, despite some mixed signals in June and September, didn’t raise interest rates. The Bank of England cut interest rates, and monetary policy at both the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan remained accommodative.
• Performance of emerging-market debt was supported by investor inflows throughout the period.
• Because the advisor focuses on relative value opportunities, security selection—especially among quasi-sovereign issuers—accounted for a good part of the fund’s outperformance.
• By country, the sovereign bonds of Argentina and Indonesia were among those producing the fund’s strongest returns.

Chairman’s Perspective

Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
If you think you’ve had reason to feel uneasy about the investment environment lately, you’re not imagining things. In just the past few months, we’ve seen economic uncertainty, intense political polarization, and super-low bond yields. Yet at the same time, the stock market kept pushing higher.
In this confusing and sometimes contradictory climate, you may be asking yourself a question that I hear often: How do I make sense of all this, keep investing, and still get a good night’s sleep?
As with any problem, there are multiple ways to go at it. But there’s one approach in particular that is simple, straightforward, and nearly foolproof: Save more money. Not only can saving more give you a greater sense of control over your investment plan, it can help compensate for long-term returns that, in our estimation, could fall short of historical averages.
I love the way one of our investment pros put it. Fran Kinniry this summer told The Wall Street Journal, “Investing is always a partnership between you and the markets.” He explained that the markets carried more than their fair share of the weight for a couple of decades, through the 1990s, providing outsized returns that made the investor’s half of the partnership relatively light work. “But now you are going to have to be the majority partner.”
Sobering? Sure. Hopeless? Definitely not.

Over the 12 months since last September, U.S. stocks returned 15%, though the rise has not been a one-way ticket straight up. International markets have also posted strong returns, but lower than those of the broad U.S. market. The decision by United Kingdom voters in June to exit the European Union came as a surprise but caused market heartburn for only a few days.
In fixed income, yields remained extremely low—about 1.60% on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at the end of September, after dipping below 1.40% over the summer. And bond yields in some international markets were negative.
Even this relatively small window of time illustrates a truism of the financial markets: There will always be segments that perform well and others that don’t. Saving more saves you from trying to control the uncontrollable—how economies and the markets perform. And it keeps you in control of one of the most vital parts of your investment program.
Although the “save more” logic is easy to grasp, it’s not always easy to follow. Bills, illness, the loss of a job—these can affect any of us.
But whatever our circumstances, figuring out how to save more is worth the effort. It requires that we make difficult decisions to forgo some consumption today to increase the likelihood of consuming (or consuming more) in the future. This is the very heart of investing. Sacrifices are never fun, so consider carrying them out systematically and in doses that you

can be comfortable with—for instance, gradually getting up to the max in your IRA, or adding a percentage point or so to the amount you stash in your employer’s retirement plan. As a point of reference, we generally suggest that investors strive for a retirement savings rate of 12%–15%, including any employer contributions.
If you need more convincing about the wisdom of the “save more” course of action, it might be helpful to examine your alternatives. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it hits on a few of the big ones, and none are without risk.
• Reach for yield. With yields so low on many types of bonds, it’s tempting to find the corners of the fixed income market where payouts are juicier. But with the juice comes considerable risk. You need to be aware that you’d be taking on more risk—and how much more.
• Go all-in on a hot-performing asset class or fund. By now, you know better than that, right?
• Sit tight. This approach isn’t a terrible idea; it’s better than panicking and deciding to just “do something,” particularly if that means changing your approach in response to the market’s movements.
Here’s the inescapably challenging part of your partnership with the markets: In the short run, your “partner” is fickle, emotional, and wildly unpredictable. But in the long run, your partner is mostly rational and extremely helpful.
The best way to minimize your vulnerability to the market’s mood swings, and to maximize the benefit of your partner’s longer-term strengths, is to expect less and save more. Maybe the markets will deliver better-than-expected returns. Maybe they’ll be consistent with our more modest expectations. In either case, a higher savings rate can help put you in a better position to reach your goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

F. William McNabb III

Advisor’s Report
From its inception on March 10, 2016, through the close of its fiscal year on September 30, 2016, Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned 13.51%. Its benchmark, the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, returned 11.36%. The average return of its peer group of emerging-market hard currency debt funds was 10.40%. (A “hard currency” is one that is issued by an economically and politically stable country and is widely used around the world as payment for goods and services.)
The investment environment
Emerging markets performed strongly, supported in part by accommodative monetary policy. The resulting search for yield taking place against the backdrop of mostly improving fundamentals in these economics drove investor cash flows into emerging markets, which helped performance.
In the period leading up to 2016, emerging-market economies as a whole had been going through a rough patch. Their fundamentals were showing some weakening and stewardship of their economies was deteriorating. Then in late 2015 and early 2016, they were hit by a further downturn in commodity prices.
More recently, however, some emerging-market countries have cut their budgets and we’ve seen some improvement in the quality of macroeconomic policies. The newly elected government in Argentina, for example, has normalized relations with bond holders and moved swiftly to implement reforms including reducing subsidies, allowing its currency to float freely, and lowering trade barriers.
In Brazil, business and consumer confidence have picked up since the formation of a new government determined to clean up the mismanagement of the previous administration. Russia has allowed the ruble to depreciate and has moved to cut government spending, helping to keep its budget and current account in check. There has also been reform momentum in Mexico, Colombia, and Indonesia.
A few emerging economies, including Venezuela, and some frontier economies remain distressed with no light yet at the end of the tunnel. Overall, however, the growth prospects for emerging markets are picking up, while growth rates for developed markets seem likely to remain below past levels. That has been one of the drivers behind strong cash flows into emerging-market debt.
The fall in commodity prices since 2014 has certainly weighed on emerging markets exporting those goods. Although this has weakened these countries’ currencies, an advantage is that emerging-market central banks in the resulting global disinflationary environment have had to be less aggressive in hiking local-currency interest rates, putting less pressure on economic growth. In recent months, with financial markets stable and inflation in check, a number of central banks have begun easing monetary policy, adding to investment opportunities in local-currency interest rates.

Management of the fund
The track record of Vanguard’s first stand-alone, actively–managed emerging markets fund is short but encouraging. Behind its smooth launch is the same team of 17 portfolio managers, traders, analysts, economists, risk managers, and research professionals in the United States, London, Melbourne, and Hong Kong that manages more than $3 billion in emerging-market debt for Vanguard’s actively managed multi-sector funds.
The fund has also benefited from many of the strategies that have worked well for us in the past in this segment of the global bond market. Key among them has been focusing on relative value opportunities. Because emerging-market debt experienced a strong run in February and March as commodity prices rebounded, we concentrated on bonds that we felt had the most room for spread compression on a risk-adjusted basis. That approach was successful, as was our overweighting of countries including Indonesia and Poland.
We were positive on Mexico, expressing our view through a tactical overweight to Pemex debt. We felt that, in focusing on its significant future financing needs, the market was mispricing the additional risk of investing in the quasi-sovereign issuer. The trade did well for the fund, and we have since reduced our exposure.
Another good relative value call was short-dated Argentinian securities. After holding them for several months, we sold them at a profit after their yields compressed until they no longer offered compelling value.
In some cases, we held bonds denominated in local currencies when they seemed to offer more value. That worked out well for us in South Africa, where we expected the greater liquidity of the local-currency market, cheaper valuations, and solid central bank governance would result in local-currency bonds compensating us more than external debt bonds would have. A long position in local-currency interest rates in Mexico, on the other hand, didn’t pay off.
Another item in our toolkit was credit default swaps. Using them as a substitute for cash securities at times allowed us to arbitrage the inefficiencies between the two markets.
Similarly, on a few occasions we added value by purchasing euro-denominated debt when it appeared more attractive than its U.S. dollar-denominated equivalent on a currency-hedged basis.
Outlook
We expect demand to remain solid. Strong cash flows into emerging-market bonds should continue, with international buyers showing an increasing appetite for local-currency debt.

On the supply side, we could see some shifts in the countries coming to market. A few of the more established, larger issuers, such as Russia, have been absent of late. In that country’s case, international sanctions and curtailed government spending have played a large role. On the other hand, Argentina reentered the global bond markets this spring for the first time since defaulting on its sovereign debt more than a decade ago. We expect the government to rely on external borrowing to finance significant budget deficits for the next three to five years as it tries to steer the economy toward a more open-market model.
Outside of traditional emerging markets, Saudi Arabia stands to become an important issuer. Persistently low oil prices have prompted the country to focus on diversifying its economy and bringing spending more in line with revenues. This is likely to be a multiyear undertaking. Shortly after the close of the fund’s fiscal year, the Saudi government sold more than $17 billion in its first bond issue, the largest emerging-market bond offering to date.
Yields of emerging-market bonds should remain attractive if weak global growth and tepid inflation keep developed-market interest rates low. A significant rise in those rates, however, could lead to negative returns for developed-market bonds.
It could also lower returns for emerging-market debt, although the comparatively high yields should help cushion performance. And if the reason for rates moving higher is an upturn in global economic growth, we could see an accompanying compression in emerging-market spreads. Any improvement in global growth could provide opportunities for the fund to generate additional profit from an appreciation in emerging currencies via ex-index positions.
Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the fund’s performance.

Emerging Markets Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond 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. To minimize the currency risk associated with investment in bonds denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the fund attempts to hedge its currency exposures. 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. The fund has not issued any Admiral Shares through September 30, 2016.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds, and 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. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund
20
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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).
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 3% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.
4. Forward Currency Contracts: The fund enters into forward currency contracts to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. 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. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into forward currency contracts only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. The master netting arrangements provide that, in the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate the forward currency contracts, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The forward currency contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any assets pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the forward currency contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
Forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent third party, adjusted for currency risk based on the expiration date of each contract. The notional amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 forward currency contract gains (losses).
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 23% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
21
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
5. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.
The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.
The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may
22
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 17% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of interest rate swaps represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
6. Options: The fund invests in options on foreign currency which are transacted over-the-counter (OTC) and not on an exchange. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. Although this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options. Credit risk involves the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into options with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties and monitoring their financial strength. The primary risk associated with purchasing options on foreign currency is that the value of the underlying foreign currencies may move in such a way that the option is out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the position is worthless at expiration, and the fund loses the premium paid. The primary risk associated with selling options on foreign currency is that the value of the underlying foreign currencies may move in such a way that the option is in-the-money (the exercise price of the option exceeds the value of the underlying investment), the counterparty exercises the option, and the fund loses an amount equal to the market value of the option written less the premium received. Options on foreign currency are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers. The premium paid for a purchased option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option purchased. The premium received for a written option is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset with an equal liability that is subsequently adjusted daily to the current market value of the option written. Fluctuations in the value of the options are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until expired, closed, or exercised, at which time realized gains (losses) are recognized.
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average value of investments in options purchased and options written represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of market values at each quarter-end during the period.
7. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken for its open federal income tax period ended September 30, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
8. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
23
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
9. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
10. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.00% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

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.
27
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $9,000 (including gains and losses on forward currency contracts and the foreign currency component on sales of foreign currency denominated bonds), which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $13,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $432,000 of ordinary income and $24,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,616,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $593,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $600,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $7,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
F. During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $24,065,000 of investment securities and sold $14,776,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $257,000 and $255,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2016, a subsidiary of Vanguard was the record or beneficial owner of 100% of the fund’s net assets. If the shareholder were to redeem its 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 lead to the realization of taxable capital gains.
H. Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2016, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets, statement of assets and liabilities 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 Emerging Markets Bond Fund (constituting a separate portfolio of Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at September 30, 2016, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period March 10, 2016 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2016, 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

1 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. The fund’s annualized six-month expense ratio for that period is 0.60%. 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 (183/366).

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.
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. “Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.
Expense Ratio. A fund’s total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. The expense ratio includes management and administrative expenses, but does not include the transaction costs of buying and selling portfolio securities.
Inception Date. The date on which the assets of a fund (or one of its share classes) are first invested in accordance with the fund’s investment objective. For funds with a subscription period, the inception date is the day after that period ends. Investment performance is measured from the inception date.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 198 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides 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. 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.

We conduct our business with integrity as a faithful steward of your assets. This message is shown translated into seven languages, reflecting our expanding global presence.
Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund returned almost 2% and Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund returned close to 4% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2016. Both funds outpaced their benchmarks; the Short-Term Fund fell short of the average return of its peers.
• Demand for U.S. taxable bonds benefited from ongoing concerns about global growth and the ability of central banks to lift inflation, as well as uncertainty stemming from the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. The Federal Reserve’s decision to leave rates unchanged and the comparatively high yields on U.S. bonds for international investors helped as well.
• The funds’ holdings in asset-backed securities boosted relative performance.
• Over the ten years ended September 30, 2016, the Short-Term Fund’s average annual return was almost 3% and the Intermediate-Term Fund’s average annual return was more than 4%. Both funds bested their comparative standards.

Chairman’s Perspective

Bill McNabb
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
If you think you’ve had reason to feel uneasy about the investment environment lately, you’re not imagining things. In just the past few months, we’ve seen economic uncertainty, intense political polarization, and super-low bond yields. Yet at the same time, the stock market kept pushing higher.
In this confusing and sometimes contradictory climate, you may be asking yourself a question that I hear often: How do I make sense of all this, keep investing, and still get a good night’s sleep?
As with any problem, there are multiple ways to go at it. But there’s one approach in particular that is simple, straightforward, and nearly foolproof: Save more money. Not only can saving more give you a greater sense of control over your investment plan, it can help compensate for long-term returns that, in our estimation, could fall short of historical averages.
I love the way one of our investment pros put it. Fran Kinniry this summer told The Wall Street Journal, “Investing is always a partnership between you and the markets.” He explained that the markets carried more than their fair share of the weight for a couple of decades, through the 1990s, providing outsized returns that made the investor’s half of the partnership relatively light work. “But now you are going to have to be the majority partner.”
Sobering? Sure. Hopeless? Definitely not.

Over the 12 months since last September, U.S. stocks returned 15%, though the rise has not been a one-way ticket straight up. International markets have also posted strong returns, but lower than those of the broad U.S. market. The decision by United Kingdom voters in June to exit the European Union came as a surprise but caused market heartburn for only a few days.
In fixed income, yields remained extremely low—about 1.60% on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note at the end of September, after dipping below 1.40% over the summer. And bond yields in some international markets were negative.
Even this relatively small window of time illustrates a truism of the financial markets: There will always be segments that perform well and others that don’t. Saving more saves you from trying to control the uncontrollable—how economies and the markets perform. And it keeps you in control of one of the most vital parts of your investment program.
Although the “save more” logic is easy to grasp, it’s not always easy to follow. Bills, illness, the loss of a job—these can affect any of us.
But whatever our circumstances, figuring out how to save more is worth the effort. It requires that we make difficult decisions to forgo some consumption today to increase the likelihood of consuming (or consuming more) in the future. This is the very heart of investing. Sacrifices are never fun, so consider carrying them out systematically and in doses that you

can be comfortable with—for instance, gradually getting up to the max in your IRA, or adding a percentage point or so to the amount you stash in your employer’s retirement plan. As a point of reference, we generally suggest that investors strive for a retirement savings rate of 12%–15%, including any employer contributions.
If you need more convincing about the wisdom of the “save more” course of action, it might be helpful to examine your alternatives. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it hits on a few of the big ones, and none are without risk.
• Reach for yield. With yields so low on many types of bonds, it’s tempting to find the corners of the fixed income market where payouts are juicier. But with the juice comes considerable risk. You need to be aware that you’d be taking on more risk—and how much more.
• Go all-in on a hot-performing asset class or fund. By now, you know better than that, right?
• Sit tight. This approach isn’t a terrible idea; it’s better than panicking and deciding to just “do something,” particularly if that means changing your approach in response to the market’s movements.
Here’s the inescapably challenging part of your partnership with the markets: In the short run, your “partner” is fickle, emotional, and wildly unpredictable. But in the long run, your partner is mostly rational and extremely helpful.
The best way to minimize your vulnerability to the market’s mood swings, and to maximize the benefit of your partner’s longer-term strengths, is to expect less and save more. Maybe the markets will deliver better-than-expected returns. Maybe they’ll be consistent with our more modest expectations. In either case, a higher savings rate can help put you in a better position to reach your goals.
As always, thank you for investing with Vanguard.
Sincerely,

F. William McNabb III

The fund is the successor to VFTC Short-Term Bond Trust (the predecessor trust), a collective trust managed by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, an affiliate of The Vanguard Group, Inc. The predecessor trust transferred its assets to the fund in connection with the fund’s commencement of operations on or about June 19, 2015. The performance of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares includes the performance of the predecessor trust prior to the commencement of the fund’s operations. The performance of the predecessor trust has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares. If the performance of the predecessor trust had been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares, the predecessor trust’s performance would have been lower. The fund is managed with the same investment objective, strategies, policies, and risks as the predecessor trust. The predecessor trust was not an investment company and, therefore, was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed on investment companies by the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the predecessor trust had been an investment company, its performance may have been different.

Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund has been established by Vanguard as an investment vehicle for certain collective trusts and other accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, and qualifying education savings plans. The fund is offered to investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and 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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values 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).
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 14% and 5% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer

or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.
The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.
The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterparties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypoth-ecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.
32
Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 12% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
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 for all open federal income tax years (September 30, 2015–2016), 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. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
7. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets.
33
Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $798,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.32% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2016, based on the inputs used to value them:

1 Forward interest rate swap. In a forward interest rate swap, the fund and the counterparty agree to make periodic net payments beginning on a specified future effective date.
2 Based on 1-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as of the most recent payment date. 3 Based on 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as of the most recent payment date.
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 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 $49,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized losses of $217,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $1,035,000 of ordinary income and $3,999,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,726,462,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $60,337,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $64,561,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $4,224,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
F. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $3,244,760,000 of investment securities and sold $3,420,298,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $8,584,241,000 and $9,159,825,000, respectively.
G. On June 19, 2015, the fund acquired all of the net assets of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company Short-Term Bond Trust (the “trust”). The trust’s net assets transferred to the fund were $9,958,882,000, including $33,986,000 of unrealized appreciation. These net assets were exchanged on a tax-free basis for 722,013,000 shares of the fund. Immediately following the transfer on June 19, 2015, unitholders of the trust received those 722,013,000 shares of the fund in exchange for their 722,013,000 units of the trust, and the trust ceased operations.

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

The fund is the successor to VFTC Intermediate-Term Bond Trust (the predecessor trust), a collective trust managed by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, an affiliate of The Vanguard Group, Inc. The predecessor trust transferred its assets to the fund in connection with the fund’s commencement of operations on or about June 19, 2015. The performance of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares includes the performance of the predecessor trust prior to the commencement of the fund’s operations. The performance of the predecessor trust has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares. If the performance of the predecessor trust had been adjusted to reflect the expenses of the fund’s Institutional Plus Shares, the predecessor trust’s performance would have been lower. The fund is managed with the same investment objective, strategies, policies, and risks as the predecessor trust. The predecessor trust was not an investment company and, therefore, was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed on investment companies by the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the predecessor trust had been an investment company, its performance may have been different.

Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund has been established by Vanguard as an investment vehicle for certain collective trusts and other accounts managed by Vanguard or its affiliates, and qualifying education savings plans. The fund is offered to investors who meet certain administrative and service criteria and invest a minimum of $10 million. Certain of the fund’s investments are in corporate debt instruments; the issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective industries.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. investment companies. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Security Valuation: Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Bonds and 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. Structured debt securities, including mortgages and asset-backed securities, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system that considers such factors as issuer, tranche, nominal or option-adjusted spreads, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, credit enhancements, and collateral. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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 by methods deemed by the board of trustees to represent fair value.
2. Futures Contracts: The fund uses futures contracts to invest in fixed income asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to add value when these instruments are attractively priced, or to adjust sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Counterparty risk involving futures is mitigated because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers and clearinghouse, and has entered into clearing agreements with its clearing brokers. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate settlement values of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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).
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 9% and less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of aggregate settlement values at each quarter-end during the period.
3. Swap Contracts: The fund invests in credit default swaps to adjust the overall credit risk of the fund or to actively overweight or underweight credit risk to a specific issuer or group of issuers. The fund may sell credit protection through credit default swaps to simulate investments in long positions that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The fund may purchase credit protection through credit default swaps to reduce credit exposure to a given issuer

or issuers. Under the terms of the swaps, an up-front payment may be exchanged between the seller and buyer. In addition, the seller of the credit protection receives a periodic payment of premium from the buyer that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. If, for example, the reference entity is subject to a credit event (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, or obligation acceleration) during the term of the swap, the seller agrees to either physically settle or cash settle the swap contract. If the swap is physically settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount and take delivery of a debt instrument of the reference issuer with a par amount equal to such notional amount. If the swap is cash settled, the seller agrees to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount and the final price for the relevant debt instrument, as determined either in a market auction or pursuant to a pre-agreed-upon valuation procedure.
The fund enters into interest rate swap transactions to adjust the fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and maintain the ability to generate income at prevailing market rates. Under the terms of the swaps, one party pays the other an amount that is a fixed percentage rate applied to a notional amount. In return, the counterparty agrees to pay a floating rate, which is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, applied to the same notional amount.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swaps are valued daily based on market quotations received from independent pricing services or recognized dealers and the change in value is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the seller of credit protection is required to take delivery (or, in a cash settled swap, pay the settlement amount determined) upon occurrence of a credit event, periodic payments are made, or the swap terminates, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded. The net premium to be received or paid by the fund under swap contracts is accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss) over the life of the contract.
The primary risk associated with selling credit protection is that, upon the occurrence of a defined credit event, the market value of the debt instrument received by the fund (or, in a cash settled swap, the debt instruments used to determine the settlement payment by the fund) will be significantly less than the amount paid by the fund and, in a physically settled swap, the fund may receive an illiquid debt instrument. A risk associated with all types of swaps is the possibility that a counterparty may default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund. The fund’s maximum amount subject to counterparty risk is the unrealized appreciation on the swap contract. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by entering into swaps only with a diverse group of prequalified counterparties, monitoring their financial strength, entering into master netting arrangements with its counterpar-ties, and requiring its counterparties to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be repledged, resold or rehypothecated. In the event of a counterparty’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any swap contracts with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements. The swap contracts contain provisions whereby a counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets decline below a certain level, triggering a payment by the fund if the fund is in a net liability position at the time of the termination. The payment amount would be reduced by any collateral the fund has pledged. Any securities pledged as collateral for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of collateral received or pledged is compared daily to the value of the swap contracts exposure with each counterparty, and any difference, if in excess of a specified minimum transfer amount, is adjusted and settled within two business days.

The fund enters into centrally cleared interest rate swaps to achieve the same objectives specified with respect to the equivalent over-the-counter swaps but with less counterparty risk because a regulated clearinghouse is the counterparty instead of the clearing broker or executing broker. The clearinghouse imposes initial margin requirements to secure the fund’s performance, and requires daily settlement of variation margin representing changes in the market value of each contract. To further mitigate counterparty risk, the fund trades with a diverse group of prequalified executing brokers; monitors the financial strength of its clearing brokers, executing brokers, and clearinghouse; and has entered into agreements with its clearing brokers and executing brokers.
During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased each represented less than 1% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The average amount of investments in interest rate swaps represented 5% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
4. To Be Announced (TBA) Transactions: A TBA transaction is an agreement to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities with agreed-upon characteristics (face amount, coupon, maturity) for settlement at a future date. The fund may be a seller of TBA transactions to reduce its exposure to the mortgage-backed securities market or in order to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed-delivery arrangements. When the fund is a buyer of TBA transactions, it maintains cash or short-term investments in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price at the settlement date of the TBA transaction. The primary risk associated with TBA transactions is that a counterparty may default on its obligations. The fund mitigates its counterparty risk by, among other things, performing a credit analysis of counterparties, allocating transactions among numerous counterparties, and monitoring its exposure to each counterparty. The fund may also enter into a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement (MSFTA) with certain counterparties and require them to transfer collateral as security for their performance. In the absence of a default, the collateral pledged or received by the fund cannot be pledged, resold or rehypothecated. Under an MSFTA, upon a counterparty default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any TBA transactions with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed by either party in accordance with its master netting arrangements, and sell or retain any collateral held up to the net amount owed to the fund under the master netting arrangements.
At September 30, 2016, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities and cash with a value of $1,556,000 in connection with TBA transactions.
5. Mortgage Dollar Rolls: The fund enters into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions, in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities to a dealer and simultaneously agrees to purchase similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The proceeds of the securities sold in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are typically invested in high-quality short-term fixed income securities. The fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities sold, and is compensated by interest earned on the proceeds of the sale and by a lower price on the securities to be repurchased. The fund has also entered into mortgage-dollar-roll transactions in which the fund buys mortgage-backed securities from a dealer pursuant to a TBA transaction and simultaneously agrees to sell similar securities in the future at a predetermined price. The securities bought in mortgage-dollar-roll transactions are used to cover an open TBA sell position. The fund continues to earn interest on mortgage-backed security pools already held and receives a lower price on the securities to be sold in the future.
The fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales; as such, these transactions may increase the fund’s portfolio turnover rate. Amounts to be received or paid in connection with open mortgage dollar rolls are included in Receivables for Investment Securities Sold or Payables for Investment Securities Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. 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, 2015–2016), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
7. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
8. Credit Facility: The fund and certain other funds managed by The Vanguard Group (“Vanguard”) participate in a $3.1 billion committed credit facility provided by a syndicate of lenders pursuant to a credit agreement that may be renewed annually; each fund is individually liable for its borrowings, if any, under the credit facility. Borrowings may be utilized for temporary and emergency purposes, and are subject to the fund’s regulatory and contractual borrowing restrictions. The participating funds are charged administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the undrawn amount of the facility; these fees are allocated to the funds based on a method approved by the fund’s board of trustees and included in Management and Administrative expenses on the fund’s Statement of Operations. Any borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate based upon the higher of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, federal funds effective rate, or overnight bank funding rate plus an agreed-upon spread.
The fund had no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2016, or at any time during the period then ended.
9. Other: Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2016, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $724,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.29% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments).

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
76
Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
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 $26,000 from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on certain of the fund’s swap contracts are treated as ordinary income (loss) for tax purposes; the effect on the fund’s income dividends to shareholders is offset by a change in principal return. Realized gains of $576,000 on swap contracts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to undistributed net investment income.
For tax purposes, at September 30, 2016, the fund had $48,803,000 of ordinary income and $46,476,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.
At September 30, 2016, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $10,302,413,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $138,270,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $146,372,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $8,102,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
F. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the fund purchased $2,298,299,000 of investment securities and sold $1,575,943,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $19,615,293,000 and $19,085,223,000, respectively.
G. On June 19, 2015, the fund acquired all of the net assets of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company Intermediate-Term Bond Trust (the “trust”). The trust’s net assets transferred to the fund were $7,659,070,000, including $74,381,000 of unrealized appreciation. These net assets were exchanged on a tax-free basis for 327,868,000 shares of the fund. Immediately following the transfer on June 19, 2015, unitholders of the trust received those 327,868,000 shares of the fund in exchange for their 327,868,000 units of the trust, and the trust ceased operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund and Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets, statement of assets and liabilities 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 Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund and Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (constituting separate portfolios of Vanguard Malvern Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2016, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for 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 September 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

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 Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund Institutional Plus Shares, 0.02%; and for the Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund Institutional Plus Shares, 0.02%. 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 (183/366).

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.
Average Coupon. The average interest rate paid on the fixed income securities held by a fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.
Average Duration. An estimate of how much the value of the bonds held by a fund will fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the value could change, multiply the average duration by the change in rates. If interest rates rise by 1 percentage point, the value of the bonds in a fund with an average duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a percentage point, the value would rise by 5%.
Average Effective Maturity. The average length of time until fixed income securities held by a fund reach maturity and are repaid, taking into consideration the possibility that the issuer may call the bond before its maturity date. The figure reflects the proportion of fund assets represented by each security; it also reflects any futures contracts held. In general, the longer the average effective maturity, the more a fund’s share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates.
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.
Credit Quality. Credit-quality ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities appear under “U.S. Government.” Credit-quality ratings are obtained from Moody’s and S&P, and the higher rating for each issue is shown. ”Not Rated” is used to classify securities for which a rating is not available. Not rated securities include a fund’s investment in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund or Vanguard Municipal Cash Management Fund, each of which invests in high-quality money market instruments and may serve as a cash management vehicle for the Vanguard funds, trusts, and accounts.
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.
82
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.
Yield to Maturity. The rate of return an investor would receive if the fixed income securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

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 198 Vanguard funds.
The following table provides 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. 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.
