Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• Vanguard U.S. Value Fund returned more than 10% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, a bit ahead of both its benchmark index and the average return of its peer group.
• The broad U.S. stock market returned more than 17% as corporate earnings remained strong and the U.S. economy continued to show signs of growth. Stocks endured a stretch of volatility in the first quarter of 2018 before rebounding.
• Growth stocks outperformed their value brethren, and large- and small-capitalization stocks generally surpassed mid-caps.
• Your fund’s stock selection model generated broad-based performance. The model focuses on five signals that rank a universe of stocks. Four of those signals—valuation, growth, sentiment, and management decisions—contributed to relative performance.
• Energy, health care, and information technology stocks contributed most to relative returns, while consumer staples, telecommunication services, and real estate stocks detracted most.

CEO’s Perspective

Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the years, I’ve found that prudent investors exhibit a common trait: discipline. No matter how the markets move or what new investing fad hits the headlines, those who stay focused on their goals and tune out the noise are set up for long-term success.
The prime gateway to investing is saving, and you don’t usually become a saver without a healthy dose of discipline. Savers make the decision to sock away part of their income, which means spending less and delaying gratification, no matter how difficult that may be.
Of course, disciplined investing extends beyond diligent saving. The financial markets, in the short term especially, are unpredictable; I have yet to meet the investor who can time them perfectly. It takes discipline to resist the urge to go all-in when markets are frothy or to retreat when things look bleak.
Staying put with your investments is one strategy for handling volatility. Another, rebalancing, requires even more discipline because it means steering your money away from strong performers and toward poorer performers.
Patience—a form of discipline—is also the friend of long-term investors. Higher returns are the potential reward for weathering the market’s turbulence and uncertainty.
3
We have been enjoying one of the longest bull markets in history, but it won’t continue forever. Prepare yourself now for how you will react when volatility comes back. Don’t panic. Don’t chase returns or look for answers outside the asset classes you trust. And be sure to rebalance periodically, even when there’s turmoil.
Whether you’re a master of self-control, get a boost from technology, or work with a professional advisor, know that discipline
is necessary to get the most out of your investment portfolio. And know that Vanguard is with you for the entire ride.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, Vanguard U.S. Value Fund returned more than 10%, ahead of its benchmark index, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which returned over 9%. It also slightly outperformed the average return of its peer group.
Investment environment
United States gross domestic product (GDP) grew at annual rate of 4.2% in the second quarter of 2018, powered by a rebound in consumer spending, exports, and business investment. The unemployment rate declined to 3.7% in September, and total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 134,000. Job gains occurred in professional and business services, in health care, and in transportation and warehousing.
In its September meeting, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points to a target range of 2.00% to 2.25%. Along with the rate increase, the Fed projected one more hike before the end of the year and three in 2019. In June, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced plans to end bond purchases at the end of the year and keep interest rates at record low levels at least through the summer of 2019. The ECB also confirmed it will halve bond purchases to 15 billion euros ($17.4 billion) per month in the fourth quarter.
Over the period, the broad U.S. equity market, as measured by the Russell 3000 Index, returned more than 17%. U.S. stock market performance was broad-based; most market sectors advanced, led by
information technology, consumer discretionary, and health care. Growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts, small- and large-capitalization stocks outpaced small-caps, and U.S. stocks outpaced their international brethren. Developed Pacific markets surpassed emerging markets and developed European markets.
Investment objective and strategy
Although it’s important to understand how overall performance is affected by the macroeconomic factors we’ve described, our strategy focuses on company-specific fundamentals—not technical analysis. 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 by management—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
5
goal of maximizing expected return, while minimizing exposure to risks that our research indicates do not improve returns, such as industry selection and other risks relative to our benchmark.
Our successes and failures
The fund’s outperformance was driven by our sentiment and growth signals. The valuation and management decisions signals contributed to a lesser degree, while our quality signal detracted significantly.
Results exceeded or equaled the benchmark in almost all sectors. The top relative performer was energy, followed by health care and information technology. Consumer staples, telecommunication services, and real estate were the weakest relative performers.
The portfolio benefited from Advanced Micro Devices in information technology, Denbury Resources and W&T Offshore in energy, and WellCare Health Plans in health care, as well as an underweighted allocation to General Electric in industrials. The greatest shortfalls came from PG&E in utilities, Sanderson Farms in consumer staples, and Unum Group in financials, along with underweighted allocations to Cisco Systems and Intel in information technology.

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 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.
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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 futures gains (losses).
During the year ended September 30, 2018, 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 the notional amounts 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, 2015–2018), 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. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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 before the opening of the market 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 event 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, 2018, 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
19
U.S. Value Fund
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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $87,000, 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.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |

Futures Contracts—Liabilities1 | (3) | — | — |
Total | 1,703,373 | 601 | — |
1 Represents variation margin on the last day of the reporting period. | | | |
D. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the
| |
following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for distributions in | |
connection with fund share redemptions were reclassified to the following accounts: | |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | 6,009 |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | (1,704) |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | (4,305) |

U.S. Value Fund
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 22,412 |
Undistributed Long-Term Gains | 71,142 |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) | — |
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) | 309,878 |
As of September 30, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

| Amount |
| ($000) |
Tax Cost | 1,394,099 |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | 345,418 |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | (35,540) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | 309,878 |
E. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the fund purchased $1,253,681,000 of investment securities and sold $1,365,282,000 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 Shareholders of Vanguard U.S. Value Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard U.S. Value Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, 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 ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2018 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard U.S. Value Fund
This information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund distributed $78,768,000 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 $30,624,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.
For corporate shareholders, 97.5% 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 2018. (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, 2018 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
U.S. Value Fund | 3/31/2018 | 9/30/2018 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $1,074.57 | $1.09 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | 1,000.00 | 1,024.02 | 1.07 |
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 0.21%. 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 (183/365).

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 211 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

CEO’s Perspective

Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the years, I’ve found that prudent investors exhibit a common trait: discipline. No matter how the markets move or what new investing fad hits the headlines, those who stay focused on their goals and tune out the noise are set up for long-term success.
The prime gateway to investing is saving, and you don’t usually become a saver without a healthy dose of discipline. Savers make the decision to sock away part of their income, which means spending less and delaying gratification, no matter how difficult that may be.
Of course, disciplined investing extends beyond diligent saving. The financial markets, in the short term especially, are unpredictable; I have yet to meet the investor who can time them perfectly. It takes discipline to resist the urge to go all-in when markets are frothy or to retreat when things look bleak.
Staying put with your investments is one strategy for handling volatility. Another, rebalancing, requires even more discipline because it means steering your money away from strong performers and toward poorer performers.
Patience—a form of discipline—is also the friend of long-term investors. Higher returns are the potential reward for weathering the market’s turbulence and uncertainty.
3
We have been enjoying one of the longest bull markets in history, but it won’t continue forever. Prepare yourself now for how you will react when volatility comes back. Don’t panic. Don’t chase returns or look for answers outside the asset classes you trust. And be sure to rebalance periodically, even when there’s turmoil.
Whether you’re a master of self-control, get a boost from technology, or work with a professional advisor, know that discipline
is necessary to get the most out of your investment portfolio. And know that Vanguard is with you for the entire ride.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, Vanguard Capital Value Fund returned 8.48%, lagging its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index.
Investment environment
Ten of the 11 sectors in the index posted positive absolute total returns. The information technology, health care, and energy sectors exceeded the overall benchmark return by a wide margin. All other sectors trailed the overall benchmark’s result, while the less-cyclical consumer staples sector was the only one to post a negative absolute total return.
We reduced the fund’s holdings in financials and consumer discretionary as we felt the benefits to their earnings from rising interest rates and consumer discretionary income were becoming well-appreciated by investors. We found more interesting value among companies with idiosyncratic challenges in other segments of the market. For example, we added to industrials, telecommunication services, energy, and materials, where we saw attractive risk-reward opportunities in specific stocks.
Our shortfalls
Our security selections were strongest in real estate, consumer staples, and industrials but proved more difficult in financials, health care, and information technology. Positive sector allocation, particularly overweighting information technology and underweighting financials, partially offset the weakness from stock selection.
Shares of British American Tobacco (BAT) were the fund’s largest detractors during the year, despite generally positive performance from consumer staples overall. BAT’s earnings growth trajectory slowed because of weakness in certain foreign currencies, including the Russian ruble, Brazilian real, and South African rand. However, most of the stock’s decline came from compression of the valuation investors placed on those earnings based on concerns over competitive threats from nontraditional entrants such as the e-cigarette maker JUUL.
The stock price of disk-drive and flash-memory producer Western Digital (WD) stumbled. Market participants sold out amid early evidence that the company’s extended string of above-normal earnings reports and guidance raises was coming to a cyclical end. While we were aware that the company’s profits would slide from their recent peak, the drop in valuation has been stunning.
At the time of this writing, WD shares traded for less than four times the earnings the company reported in the last 12 months through June 2018. By comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index stocks traded at almost 20 times their earnings for the same period. The collapse in profitability implied by that comparison is massive, even if WD’s stock is usually valued at some discount to the market at most points in the economic cycle. We believe the stock is significantly undervalued. It remains a holding in the
5
fund, although we recognize others may wait for earnings to bottom out and turn positive before returning.
Insurer MetLife also underperformed, despite benefiting from rising long-term interest rates. The company disclosed two material weaknesses (one of them unfavorable to prior reported earnings, the other favorable) in its accounting practices. The net effect was not large relative to shareholders’ equity or ongoing earnings prospects. We continue to hold the stock, although its valuation was hurt as the company’s internal controls were called into question.
Our successes
On the positive side, the timely purchase of grocery retailer Kroger in the face of rising competitive threats from Amazon, Walmart, and others made it the fund’s top contributor. (The decision to avoid struggling industrial conglomerate General Electric was actually even more favorable in terms of performance relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index.)
Kroger benefited nicely from the reduction in corporate tax rates, allowing the company to appease several of its constituencies. It let some earnings flow through to shareholders, some to workers in the form of higher wages and benefits, and a third portion to customers through targeted price reductions. Along with an uptick in same-store sales growth, these decisions helped improve investor sentiment about future earnings prospects, and the valuation increased accordingly.
Bermuda-based insurer XL Group was among the fund’s top contributors after the company agreed to a takeover approach from AXA, Europe’s second-largest insurance provider. Athletic apparel-maker Under Armour also appreciated strongly as the company made progress toward streamlining its product offering, improving its operations, and gaining more control over its cost structure. In both cases, our team felt the shares had reached a fair value, and the fund sold its holdings.
Fund positioning and outlook
At the end of September, the fund’s most significant overweightings relative to the Russell 3000 Value Index were in materials, real estate, energy, information technology, and industrials.
In industrials, we added holdings in Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines. Outsized capacity additions by competitor United Airlines spread worries of a market-share battle, particularly in some of Delta’s markets. Southwest also took a hit to its earnings in the aftermath of a tragic engine failure that caused the death of a passenger. Price cuts to attract passengers back following that accident, along with some struggles in implementing a new reservation system, caused difficult temporary revenue comparisons.
Airline earnings can be volatile, and their stocks have traded at sizable discounts to the broad market even during good times. However, we believe that both Delta and Southwest are in good positions to
6
generate and distribute high free cash flow to shareholders because of their clean balance sheets and controlled capital-spending plans.
In energy, we initiated positions in Chevron and Concho Resources. We believe that Chevron has an attractive free-cash-flow yield and dividend, as well as less country risk than other major oil companies. In Texas, Permian Basin producers have temporarily outgrown the available capacity of pipelines to transport oil and gas to the market. But we believe Concho is well-positioned to outperform over the longer term, particularly after announcing its agreement to acquire RSP Permian in an all-stock transaction. We believe this will boost future free-cash-flow generation.
The economy is moving at a steady clip. However, we recognize the potential for negative surprises, especially as a result of trade frictions with China, the lagging effect of interest rate hikes, Brexit, and other factors. The net result of purchases and sales during the year has moderately reduced the fund’s exposure—as measured by sector weights, market beta, financial leverage, and other metrics—to an unfavorable shift in expectations.
We will, as contrarian value investors, look to areas of the market characterized by investor unease and a wide range of potential outcomes as fertile fishing ponds for new ideas. We are focusing more intently today on companies with the potential to help themselves out of temporary difficulty rather than those needing a big boost from an accelerating economy. We appreciate the trust of the Capital Value Fund’s shareholders and believe that your confidence will be justified by the performance of the fund’s holdings over a full market cycle.

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 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.
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 counterparty may terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets
18
Capital Value Fund
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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 2% 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 counterparties. The master repurchase agreements provide that, in the event of a counter-party’s default (including bankruptcy), the fund may terminate any repurchase agreements with that counterparty, determine the net amount owed, and sell or retain the collateral up to the net amount owed to the fund. Such action may be subject to legal proceedings, which may delay or limit the disposition of collateral.
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, 2015–2018), 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. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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 before the opening of the market 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
19
Capital Value Fund
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 event 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.
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, 2018, 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, 2018, the investment advisory fee represented an effective annual basic rate of 0.23% of the fund’s average net assets before a decrease of $1,479,000 (0.17%) 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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
20
Capital 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $45,000, 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.
D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
Common Stocks | 818,323 | 49,037 | 1,169 |
Temporary Cash Investments | 9,496 | 6,400 | — |
Forward Currency Contracts—Assets | — | 150 | — |
Forward Currency Contracts—Liabilities | — | (13) | — |
Total | 827,819 | 55,574 | 1,169 |
E. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions were reclassified to the following accounts:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | — |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | (67) |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | 67 |
21
Capital Value Fund
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and forward currency contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 13,648 |
Undistributed Long-term Gains | — |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring)* | (15,830) |
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) | 87,573 |
* The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $81,887,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended
September 30, 2018, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders.
As of September 30, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Tax Cost | 796,847 |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | 123,037 |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | (35,459) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | 87,578 |
F. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the fund purchased $416,951,000 of investment securities and sold $499,441,000 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 Shareholders of Vanguard Capital Value Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard Capital Value Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, 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 ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Special 2018 tax information (unaudited) for Vanguard Capital Value Fund
This information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, is included pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund distributed $17,678,000 of qualified dividend income to shareholders during the fiscal year.
For corporate shareholders, 85.3% of investment income (dividend income plus short-term gains, if any) qualifies for the dividends-received deduction.
24
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 2018. (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, 2018 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
Capital Value Fund | 3/31/2018 | 9/30/2018 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | $1,000.00 | $1,064.04 | $1.50 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | 1,000.00 | 1,023.61 | 1.47 |
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 0.29%. 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 (183/365).

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.
28
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 211 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• For the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund returned 0.91% for Investor Shares, tracking its benchmark (+1.01%) and ahead of the average return of its peer funds (+0.33%). The 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares began the period at –0.20% and ended at 0.79%.
• Prices of regular U.S. Treasury securities fell during the period as economic prospects brightened and interest rates rose. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) outperformed regular Treasuries as inflation expectations increased, a development that typically favors TIPS over nominal Treasuries.
• A measure of expected inflation over the next five years (the gap between nominal and TIPS yields) widened from 1.82% to 2.04%.
• Since inception, the fund’s average annual return has been in line with that of its benchmark and has exceeded that of its peers.

CEO’s Perspective

Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the years, I’ve found that prudent investors exhibit a common trait: discipline. No matter how the markets move or what new investing fad hits the headlines, those who stay focused on their goals and tune out the noise are set up for long-term success.
The prime gateway to investing is saving, and you don’t usually become a saver without a healthy dose of discipline. Savers make the decision to sock away part of their income, which means spending less and delaying gratification, no matter how difficult that may be.
Of course, disciplined investing extends beyond diligent saving. The financial markets, in the short term especially, are unpredictable; I have yet to meet the investor who can time them perfectly. It takes discipline to resist the urge to go all-in when markets are frothy or to retreat when things look bleak.
Staying put with your investments is one strategy for handling volatility. Another, rebalancing, requires even more discipline because it means steering your money away from strong performers and toward poorer performers.
Patience—a form of discipline—is also the friend of long-term investors. Higher returns are the potential reward for weathering the market’s turbulence and uncertainty.
3
We have been enjoying one of the longest bull markets in history, but it won’t continue forever. Prepare yourself now for how you will react when volatility comes back. Don’t panic. Don’t chase returns or look for answers outside the asset classes you trust. And be sure to rebalance periodically, even when there’s turmoil.
Whether you’re a master of self-control, get a boost from technology, or work with a professional advisor, know that discipline
is necessary to get the most out of your investment portfolio. And know that Vanguard is with you for the entire ride.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Mortimer J. Buckley

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.

1 The expense ratios shown are from the prospectus dated January 26, 2018, and represent estimated costs for the current fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the expense ratios were 0.14% for Investor Shares, 0.06% for ETF Shares, 0.06% 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.

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 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. 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 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 clearing-house 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 futures gains (losses).
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented less than 1% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period. The fund had no open futures contracts at September 30, 2018.
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, 2015–2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
18
Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund
4. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $1,342,000, representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 0.54% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investments | ($000) | ($000) | ($000) |
U.S. Government and Agency Obligations | — | 26,681,418 | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 16,415 | — | — |
Total | 16,415 | 26,681,418 | — |
D. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for in-kind redemptions and inflation adjustments were reclassified to the following accounts:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | 29,067 |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | 18 |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | (29,085) |
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 96,606 |
Undistributed Long-Term Gains | — |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) | (173,251) |
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) | (443,656) |

Gross Unrealized Appreciation | — |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | (443,656) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | (443,656) |
E. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the fund purchased $10,983,028,000 of investment securities and sold $6,371,883,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales include $1,641,452,000 and $336,914,000, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital shares.

Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund
At September 30, 2018, one shareholder was the record or beneficial owner of 36% 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.
G. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred subsequent to September 30, 2018, that would require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, 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 ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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.

Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,005.57 | $0.65 |
ETF Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,005.92 | 0.30 |

ETF Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.77 | 0.30 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.77 | 0.30 |
Institutional Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.87 | 0.20 |
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 0.13% for Investor Shares, 0.06% for ETF Shares, 0.06% for Admiral Shares, and 0.04% 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 (183/365).

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.
27
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.)

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 211 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• Vanguard Core Bond Fund returned –1.32% for Investor Shares and –1.19% for Admiral Shares for the 12 months ended September 30, 2018. Those results were roughly in line with the –1.23% return of its benchmark as well as the –1.25% average return for peer funds.
• Bond yields across the maturity spectrum closed higher. Shorter-term yields climbed as the Federal Reserve continued raising rates, and longer-term yields rose on brighter prospects for growth and inflation. The average spread in corporate bond yields fluctuated but finished the period slightly wider.
• An underweight allocation to U.S. Treasuries in favor of investment-grade credit and a modest overweight allocation to BBB-rated bonds helped the fund, as did security selection in financial services, foreign sovereign bonds, and industrials.
• Primary detractors included a slightly longer duration than the benchmark for part of the period and security selection in mortgage-backed securities.

CEO’s Perspective

Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the years, I’ve found that prudent investors exhibit a common trait: discipline. No matter how the markets move or what new investing fad hits the headlines, those who stay focused on their goals and tune out the noise are set up for long-term success.
The prime gateway to investing is saving, and you don’t usually become a saver without a healthy dose of discipline. Savers make the decision to sock away part of their income, which means spending less and delaying gratification, no matter how difficult that may be.
Of course, disciplined investing extends beyond diligent saving. The financial markets, in the short term especially, are unpredictable; I have yet to meet the investor who can time them perfectly. It takes discipline to resist the urge to go all-in when markets are frothy or to retreat when things look bleak.
Staying put with your investments is one strategy for handling volatility. Another, rebalancing, requires even more discipline because it means steering your money away from strong performers and toward poorer performers.
Patience—a form of discipline—is also the friend of long-term investors. Higher returns are the potential reward for weathering the market’s turbulence and uncertainty.
2
We have been enjoying one of the longest bull markets in history, but it won’t continue forever. Prepare yourself now for how you will react when volatility comes back. Don’t panic. Don’t chase returns or look for answers outside the asset classes you trust. And be sure to rebalance periodically, even when there’s turmoil.
Whether you’re a master of self-control, get a boost from technology, or work with a professional advisor, know that discipline
is necessary to get the most out of your investment portfolio. And know that Vanguard is with you for the entire ride.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Advisor’s Report
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, Vanguard Core Bond Fund returned –1.32% for Investor Shares and –1.19% for Admiral Shares. The –1.23% return of the benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index, fell between these results, as did the –1.25% average return for peer funds.
With interest rates climbing, the 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares rose 113 basis points from a year earlier to 3.31%. The 30-day SEC yield for Admiral Shares climbed 122 basis points to 3.50% over the same time frame. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.)
Investment environment
Macroeconomic fundamentals were robust throughout the 12 months. Despite two brief federal government shutdowns early in 2018 and a significant escalation in trade tensions, business confidence persisted and consumer spending remained solid. Unemployment hit an almost 50-year low, finishing the period at 3.7%. Tax-cut legislation enacted in late 2017, the March passage of a bill increasing federal spending, and deregulation all added to optimism about growth. Inflation moved up to hover near the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, with some help from an increase in oil prices.

Acknowledging the economy’s health, the Fed moved further down the path toward monetary policy normalization. It continued shrinking the $4.5 trillion balance sheet it had amassed as part of the monetary stimulus it began after the 2008 global financial crisis. The Fed raised the federal funds target rate in December, March, June, and September, putting it at 2%–2.25% at the close of the fiscal year.
Fed action pushed shorter-term yields higher. The yield of the 2-year Treasury note climbed 134 basis points over the period to 2.82%.
Demand for longer-term Treasury bonds was supported at times by escalating trade tensions, geopolitical flare-ups, and political uncertainties in Europe about Brexit and national elections in Germany and Italy. However, the outlook for continuing growth and rising inflation expectations led yields on these securities to end the period higher. The yield of the bellwether 10-year Treasury note ended the period 73 basis points higher at 3.06%.
Corporate fundamentals remained strong, and corporate earnings were very robust—the tax cuts helped with that—but valuations were high and technical support weakened. With the tax changes for corporations, a number of large multinational companies that had been investing overseas money in high-quality corporate bonds withdrew from the market. The average yield spread of investment-grade corporate bonds over Treasuries started the period very tight,
then widened significantly before narrowing slightly. The average spread stood at 106 basis points at the end of the period, up from 101 basis points a year earlier.
Management of the fund
The fund maintained an underweight allocation to Treasuries, favoring credit sectors. We were overweighted in financials. We believed they could benefit from improved balance sheets, less regulation, and rising interest rates, which tend to lift their profitability. Although concerns about the health of Italian banks weighed on returns from this sector in the United States, our bond selection among banks and insurance companies added value. Selection also was positive in industrials, notably in the energy segment, thanks to an upturn in oil prices.
Our overweight to BBB-rated bonds helped the fund. So did an outsize allocation to asset-backed securities, which are typically high-quality, liquid investments made up of pooled auto loans, credit-card debt, and student loans.
Our relatively small allocation to high-quality sovereign debt outside the United States modestly boosted relative performance. We were more defensive on these securities early in the period but selectively increased our exposure later on as relative value opportunities arose.
The fund’s duration (a measure of its sensitivity to changes in interest rates) was modestly longer than that of its benchmark in late 2017 and early 2018,
5
although we brought it back in line by the end of the fiscal year. That positioning detracted from relative performance.
We expected the Fed to keep pushing short-term rates higher, but longer rates rose as well when the market began pricing in a stronger U.S. growth scenario.
Security selection in the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) segment also weighed on performance. We favored collateralized mortgage obligations, but their spreads widening more than those of agency MBS as a whole meant they detracted from performance.
The outlook
In the absence of any external shocks, the U.S. economy is on pace to break above its long-term potential growth rate in 2018, given the tax cuts and increased government spending coming on top of solid fundamentals. That, along with some upward pressure on wages because of the tightening labor market, may push the U.S. Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index a little above 2% by the end of 2018. Against this backdrop, the Fed is likely to keep raising rates and trimming the amount of Treasuries and MBS on its balance sheet through 2019.
We see this bounce as cyclical, however, and still expect long-term structural pressures from an aging population, global sourcing of goods and labor, and technological disruptions to result in moderate long-run growth and inflation.
We may continue to see bouts of volatility related to inflation and interest rate expectations. Other potential triggers include the U.S. midterm elections, an intensification of trade disputes, geopolitical tensions, Brexit uncertainty, government spending in Italy, and missteps by central banks.
It’s worth restating that investors should look beyond short-term volatility and adhere to their long-term investment strategies. And keep in mind the silver lining in higher rates for long-term investors—coupon payments and proceeds from maturing bonds can be reinvested at these rates.
Whatever the markets may bring, our experienced team of portfolio managers, credit analysts, and traders will continue to seek out opportunities to add to the fund’s performance.

(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.

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 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. 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
43
Core Bond Fund
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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 17% and 8% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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 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 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 year ended September 30, 2018, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 4% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.

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 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 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 terminate open contracts if the fund’s net assets
45
Core Bond Fund
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.
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 year ended September 30, 2018, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 1% and 4% 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
46
Core Bond Fund
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.
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 year ended September 30, 2018, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written each represented less than 1% of net assets, 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
47
Core Bond Fund
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 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, 2016–2018), 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. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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, 2018, 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), shareholder reporting, and the proxy. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. In accordance with the terms of a Funds’ Service Agreement (the “FSA”) between Vanguard and the fund, Vanguard furnishes to the fund investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services at Vanguard’s cost of operations (as defined by the FSA). These costs of operations are allocated to the fund based on methods and guidelines approved by the board of trustees. Vanguard does not require reimbursement in the current period for certain costs of operations (such as deferred compensation/benefits and risk/insurance costs); the fund’s liability for these costs of operations is included in Payables to Vanguard on the Statement of Net Assets. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
48
Core 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, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $50,000, 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). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

E. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions and swap agreements were reclassified to the following accounts:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | — |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | 1,379 |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | (1,379) |
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales; the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts, forward currency contracts, and options and payables for distributions. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 570 |
Undistributed Long-Term Gains | — |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) | (22,525) |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Vanguard Malvern Funds and Shareholders of Vanguard Core Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets and statement of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Core Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, 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 ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2018 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
Core Bond Fund | 3/31/2018 | 9/30/2018 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | | |
Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $999.32 | $1.25 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,000.01 | 0.60 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | |
Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,023.82 | $1.27 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,024.47 | 0.61 |
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 0.25% for Investor Shares and 0.12% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/365).

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 Performance at a Glance
• For the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, Investor Shares of Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned 2.39%. It outpaced its benchmark index by more than 4 percentage points and the average of its peer group by more than 6 percentage points. Admiral Shares returned 0.92% from their inception on December 6, 2017, through September 30, 2018.
• Emerging-market bonds had a strong start to the fiscal year, underpinned by robust synchronized global growth. As the year progressed, the pace of U.S. monetary tightening increased while growth outside the U.S. slowed, putting pressure on emerging markets. Countries most exposed to higher dollar-funding costs led the sell-off.
• The fund’s relative-value-driven strategy served investors well throughout the volatility. In addition to out-of-benchmark allocations to high-quality issuers from the Middle East, local-currency exposures in Brazil and Mexico and corporate exposure in Brazil added value.

CEO’s Perspective

Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the years, I’ve found that prudent investors exhibit a common trait: discipline. No matter how the markets move or what new investing fad hits the headlines, those who stay focused on their goals and tune out the noise are set up for long-term success.
The prime gateway to investing is saving, and you don’t usually become a saver without a healthy dose of discipline. Savers make the decision to sock away part of their income, which means spending less and delaying gratification, no matter how difficult that may be.
Of course, disciplined investing extends beyond diligent saving. The financial markets, in the short term especially, are unpredictable; I have yet to meet the investor who can time them perfectly. It takes discipline to resist the urge to go all-in when markets are frothy or to retreat when things look bleak.
Staying put with your investments is one strategy for handling volatility. Another, rebalancing, requires even more discipline because it means steering your money away from strong performers and toward poorer performers.
Patience—a form of discipline—is also the friend of long-term investors. Higher returns are the potential reward for weathering the market’s turbulence and uncertainty.
2
We have been enjoying one of the longest bull markets in history, but it won’t continue forever. Prepare yourself now for how you will react when volatility comes back. Don’t panic. Don’t chase returns or look for answers outside the asset classes you trust. And be sure to rebalance periodically, even when there’s turmoil.
Whether you’re a master of self-control, get a boost from technology, or work with a professional advisor, know that discipline
is necessary to get the most out of your investment portfolio. And know that Vanguard is with you for the entire ride.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Advisor’s Report
Investor Shares of Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned 2.39% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2018. The fund’s benchmark, the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified, returned –1.92% for the same period. The average return of its peer group of emerging-market hard currency debt funds was –4.04%. (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.)
Admiral Shares of the fund were launched on December 6, 2017. They returned 0.92% from that date through September 30, 2018.
The 30-day SEC yield for Investor Shares climbed to 5.24% by the close of the period compared with 3.98% a year earlier.
The investment environment
After a good start to the fiscal year, some shifts in the macroeconomic landscape put emerging-market assets under pressure.
The pace of U.S. economic expansion accelerated, aided by tax cuts and a pickup in consumer spending and nonresidential fixed investment. That, along with a drop in unemployment to almost a 50-year low and an increase in inflation to near the 2% target, led the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by a quarter percentage point four times during the period. The increases almost doubled short-term borrowing costs. Longer-term U.S. bond yields rose and, in the second half of the period, the dollar strengthened.
In October 2017, the Fed also began trimming its balance sheet, making it the first developed-market central bank since the 2008 global financial crisis to begin quantitative tightening. Both the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan are still in quantitative-easing mode.
For emerging markets, developments in the United States effectively tightened their financial conditions, raised the cost of borrowing in dollars, and precipitated capital outflows. The countries most affected were those with large short-term external funding needs, including Argentina, Turkey, and South Africa.
While the U.S. economy accelerated, momentum elsewhere weakened and regional divergences increased. In Europe, Brexit continued to breed uncertainty, as did the possibility of U.S. tariffs on European-made automobiles and concerns about the spending plans of Italy’s newly elected populist government.
More relevant for emerging markets was the slowdown in China, given its role as their most significant growth driver over the past decade. Trade tensions and tariffs added another layer of uncertainty for emerging markets. Those countries have been some of the biggest beneficiaries of the expansion of global trade in recent decades.
Management of the fund
Our investment strategy is driven by relative value selection among securities and countries. This tactical approach, rather than taking directional bets to be
4
long or short the market, enabled the fund to significantly outpace its competitors during a volatile year.
Given the robust macroeconomic backdrop early in the fiscal year, when global growth was more synchronized, we held securities with yields that we believed had the most room to tighten.
Subsequently—as the calm in the bond market persisted even as the Fed continued raising rates while unwinding its balance sheet—we turned more defensive. Rather than moving up in credit quality to achieve that, we increased cash levels and reduced market value at risk by tilting the portfolio to bonds in the parts of the yield curve that had the best carry-to-volatility ratios. The timing worked out well as a bout of turbulence in February led emerging-market bonds to meaningfully reprice.
Although emerging-market valuations have become more attractive overall since that reset, we have remained cautious toward some of the weaker credits. To limit our exposure to those credits, we have bought bonds further out on the yield curve to reduce the market value at risk. That trade proved effective during the second and third quarters of 2018.
Another positive for the fund was our out-of-benchmark allocations. They included some high-quality Middle Eastern issuers, namely Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. We felt they offered a better risk/reward profile than some of their Latin American counterparts included in the benchmark.
We added local-currency Mexican rates because its central bank is ahead of the U.S. Fed in tightening, so there is less need for further hikes. With the Mexican national election in the rearview mirror and a new North American free-trade agreement in the works, the level of risk associated with that market has lessened. We selectively added debt issued by Brazilian companies given the backdrop of corporate deleveraging. We also felt that long-dated local-currency Brazilian rates offered a good risk/reward profile ahead of the October general election.
In terms of detractors from relative performance, we probably weren’t wary enough about Turkey. On the other hand, we may have been overly pessimistic about some weaker countries, including Ecuador, Lebanon, and Bahrain.
Outlook
Emerging markets are going through a regime change as the easy monetary cycle experienced since the 2008 global financial crisis has shifted to tightening. The Fed is expected to continue raising interest rates this year and next while the pace of quantitative tightening gradually accelerates.
That said, we remain positive about emerging-market bonds, given the repricing that has taken place, as we are now getting paid more for the investment risk than a year ago. Moreover, the fundamentals of most major emerging markets remain sound and should be able to withstand additional volatility and macroeconomic headwinds. Many have acclimated to the
5
more adverse external environment through currency adjustments, and additional risk premiums have been built into bond prices.
Major risks to the downside for emerging markets remain additional trade frictions and/or a hard landing for the Chinese economy, which would put a brake on global growth and weigh on commodity prices.
We acknowledge that volatility in emerging-market debt is likely to pick up again. For that reason, we are entering the fund’s new fiscal year tactically more defensive. Any upswing in volatility should provide better levels for active relative-value-driven managers like us to add value compared with competitors who count on getting directional outcomes right.

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. 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. Admiral Shares were issued on December 6, 2017.
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 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. 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 trades futures contracts on an exchange, monitors the financial strength of its clearing
26
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
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 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts each represented 4% of net assets, based on the average of the notional amounts 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 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 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 year ended September 30, 2018, the fund’s average investment in forward currency contracts represented 14% of net assets, based on the average of notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
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.
27
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
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 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 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
28
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
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 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, 2018, the fund’s average amounts of investments in credit protection sold and credit protection purchased represented 10% and 3% 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 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 year ended September 30, 2018, the fund’s average value of options purchased and options written represented less than 1% and 0% of net assets, respectively, based on the average market values at each quarter-end during the period.

Emerging Markets Bond Fund
7. 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, 2016–2018), 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. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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, 2018, 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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $5,000, representing 0.00% 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. The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended September 30, 2018, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $2,000 (an annual rate of 0.00% of average net assets).

D. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

F. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for foreign currency transactions and swap agreements were reclassified to the following accounts:
| Amount ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | — |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | 320 |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | (320) |
32
Emerging Markets Bond Fund
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles; the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts, forward currency contracts, options, and swap agreements; payables for distributions and the deferral of post-October capital losses to future periods. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 261 |
Undistributed Long-Term Gains | — |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring)* | (1,382) |
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) | (634) |
* Includes losses of $1,382,000 realized subsequent to October 31, 2017, which are deferred and will be treated as realized for tax purposes in the next fiscal year.
As of September 30, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Tax Cost | 102,074 |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | 692 |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | (1,341) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | (649) |
G. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the fund purchased $276,390,000 of investment securities and sold $196,157,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $25,643,000 and 25,545,000 respectively.

Markets Bond Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets and statement of assets and liabilities of Vanguard Emerging Markets Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting Vanguard Malvern Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2018, 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 ended September 30, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and by agreement to the underlying ownership records of the transfer agent; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2018 | | | |
| Beginning | Ending | Expenses |
| Account Value | Account Value | Paid During |
Emerging Markets Bond Fund | 3/31/2018 | 9/30/2018 | Period |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | | |
Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,007.57 | $3.02 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,008.75 | 2.27 |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Yearly Return | | | |
Investor Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,022.06 | $3.04 |
Admiral Shares | 1,000.00 | 1,022.81 | 2.28 |
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 0.60% for Investor Shares and 0.45% for Admiral Shares. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period (183/365).

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 211 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.

Your Fund’s Performance at a Glance
• For the 12 months ended September 30, 2018, Vanguard Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.67% and Vanguard Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund returned –0.75%. Both funds outpaced their benchmark indexes; the Short-Term Fund also did better than the average for its peer group.
• The bond market was marked by rising rates during the period. Short-term maturities moved higher as the Federal Reserve notched four federal funds rate increases, and longer-term rates rose on brighter prospects for growth and inflation.
• The Intermediate-Term Fund and, to a lesser extent, the Short-Term Fund had durations that were shorter than their benchmarks’, a positive given the rising rate environment. Both funds’ holdings in asset-backed securities also added to relative performance.
• Over the ten years ended September 30, the Short-Term Fund’s average annual return was 2.23% and the Intermediate-Term Fund’s return was 3.25%. Both funds surpassed their benchmark indexes.

CEO’s Perspective

Tim Buckley
President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the years, I’ve found that prudent investors exhibit a common trait: discipline. No matter how the markets move or what new investing fad hits the headlines, those who stay focused on their goals and tune out the noise are set up for long-term success.
The prime gateway to investing is saving, and you don’t usually become a saver without a healthy dose of discipline. Savers make the decision to sock away part of their income, which means spending less and delaying gratification, no matter how difficult that may be.
Of course, disciplined investing extends beyond diligent saving. The financial markets, in the short term especially, are unpredictable; I have yet to meet the investor who can time them perfectly. It takes discipline to resist the urge to go all-in when markets are frothy or to retreat when things look bleak.
Staying put with your investments is one strategy for handling volatility. Another, rebalancing, requires even more discipline because it means steering your money away from strong performers and toward poorer performers.
Patience—a form of discipline—is also the friend of long-term investors. Higher returns are the potential reward for weathering the market’s turbulence and uncertainty.
3
We have been enjoying one of the longest bull markets in history, but it won’t continue forever. Prepare yourself now for how you will react when volatility comes back. Don’t panic. Don’t chase returns or look for answers outside the asset classes you trust. And be sure to rebalance periodically, even when there’s turmoil.
Whether you’re a master of self-control, get a boost from technology, or work with a professional advisor, know that discipline
is necessary to get the most out of your investment portfolio. And know that Vanguard is with you for the entire ride.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.

Mortimer J. Buckley

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. For more information about these ratings, see the Glossary entry for Credit Quality.

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 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 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. 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 20% and 5% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts at each quarter-end during the period.
35
Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
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 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 o 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 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
36
Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
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.
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, 2018, 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 3% 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, 2015–2018), 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. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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, 2018, 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 Assets and Liabilities. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $340,000 representing 0.00% of the fund’s net assets and 0.14% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.
C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

E. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for swap agreements were reclassified to the following accounts:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | — |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | (147) |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | 147 |
39
Institutional Short-Term Bond Fund
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 1,184 |
Undistributed Long-Term Gains | — |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring) | (42,148) |
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) | (56,943) |
As of September 30, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for investments and derivatives based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Tax Cost | 7,820,354 |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | 4,079 |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | (61,022) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | (56,943) |
F. During the year ended September 30, 2018, the fund purchased $3,633,301,000 of investment securities and sold $3,240,899,000 of investment securities, other than U.S. government securities and temporary cash investments. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $4,830,334,000 and $5,275,887,000, respectively. Total purchases and sales include $774,125,000 and $0, respectively, in connection with in-kind purchases and redemptions of the fund’s capital 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 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. 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. Any assets pledged as initial margin for open contracts are noted in the Statement of Net Assets.
Futures contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. 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 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, 2018, the fund’s average investments in long and short futures contracts represented 9% and 2% of net assets, respectively, based on the average of the notional amounts 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 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.
80
Institutional Intermediate-Term 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 year ended September 30, 2018, 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 3% 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 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. At September 30, 2018, counterparties had deposited in segregated accounts securities with a value of $1,445,000 and cash of $1,420,000 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-
81
Institutional Intermediate-Term Bond Fund
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, 2015–2018), 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. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes.
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, 2018, 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. All other costs of operations payable to Vanguard are generally settled twice a month.
Upon the request of Vanguard, the fund may invest up to 0.40% of its net assets as capital in Vanguard. At September 30, 2018, the fund had contributed to Vanguard capital in the amount of $772,000, representing 0.00% of the fund’s net assets and 0.31% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and employees, respectively, of Vanguard.

C. Various inputs may be used to determine the value of the fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels for financial statement purposes. The inputs or methodologies used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments). Any investments valued with significant unobservable inputs are noted on the Statement of Net Assets.
The following table summarizes the market value of the fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018, based on the inputs used to value them:

E. Permanent differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of net assets are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. As of period end, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to the accounting for swap agreements were reclassified to the following accounts:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Paid-in Capital | — |
Undistributed (Overdistributed) Net Investment Income | (52) |
Accumulated Net Realized Gains (Losses) | 52 |
Temporary differences between book-basis and tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) arise when certain items of income, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The differences are primarily related to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization of unrealized gains or losses on certain futures contracts, and swap agreements. As of period end, the tax-basis components of accumulated net earnings (losses) are detailed in the table as follows:
| |
| Amount |
| ($000) |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | 1,236 |
Undistributed Long-Term Gains | — |
Capital Loss Carryforwards (Non-expiring)* | (189,718) |
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) | (335,659) |
* The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $41,023,000 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended September 30, 2018, reducing the amount of capital gains that would otherwise be available to distribute to shareholders.

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 (183/365).

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.
90
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 211 Vanguard funds.
Information for each trustee and executive officer of the fund appears below. The mailing address of the trustees and officers is P.O. Box 876, Valley Forge, PA 19482. More information about the trustees is in the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained, without charge, by contacting Vanguard at 800-662-7447, or online at vanguard.com.
