Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder,
Despite concerns over energy prices, rising interest rates, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, optimism about stocks prevailed during the 12 months ended October 31, 2006, leading international markets to produce better results than the broad U.S. equity market. The International Stock Index Funds turned in results for the period that were generally in line with those of their respective benchmark indexes and peer-group averages.
The tables on pages 1 and 2 compare the results of Vanguard’s international equity index funds with those of their peers. If you own one or more of the funds in a taxable account, you may wish to review the details of the funds’ after-tax returns on pages 117 and 118.
International markets served up stronger returns than U.S. market
International stocks turned in excellent results during the period. European and emerging markets led the rally. In Europe, a surge in corporate mergers and acquisitions drove markets higher in many nations. Emerging economies performed well, propelled by continuing global economic growth. The Japanese market was a somewhat weak performer over the year. The weakness of the U.S. dollar made returns from foreign stocks—already strong on a local-currency basis—even more attractive when translated back into dollars for U.S.-based investors.
4
In the United States, stock prices advanced in fits and starts during the past 12 months, reflecting the uncertainty that pervaded the market for much of the period. The broad market rallied at the start of the fiscal year, buoyed by strong corporate earnings growth and vigorous economic expansion. In mid-May, as investors responded to increasingly pungent whiffs of inflation, anxiety moved to the fore, and market indexes pulled back sharply. In late summer, optimism regained the upper hand. The broad market staged a powerful rally to post a 12-month return of 16.6%. As has been the case for much of the past five years, smaller-capitalization stocks outperformed large-caps, and value-oriented stocks bested their growth-oriented counterparts.
Rate hikes and inflation concerns drove the bond market
The U.S. fixed income markets reflected some of these same uncertainties, with the back-and-forth pattern most pronounced among the longest-maturity bonds. The Federal Reserve Board tightened monetary policy by raising its target for the federal funds rate six times during the fiscal year, to 5.25%, and the yields of short-term issues followed closely behind. The yields of longer-term securities, by contrast, dipped early in the year, rose sharply on inflation worries in May, then finished the period a bit above their starting point. The broad taxable bond market returned 5.2%. Corporate bonds generally outperformed government issues. Municipal bonds did better still.

Strong returns from markets around the globe
The European Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares posted a 31.6% return for the fiscal period, reflecting excellent results from several of the fund’s largest country allocations. The fund’s holdings in France, Switzerland, Germany, and the United Kingdom—which together represented about two-thirds of fund assets on average—produced returns of 30% for the United Kingdom and Switzerland, 31% for France, and 36% for Germany. Some of the continent’s smaller markets posted extraordinary results; the fund’s holdings in Spain (roughly 6% of fund assets, on average) returned 42%, and Ireland’s small slice (about 1% of fund assets, on average) returned 44%. The financials, industrials, materials, and utilities sectors produced the largest gains.
The Pacific Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares returned 18.4% for the period. The fund’s result was most influenced by the performance of its Japanese stocks, whose weighting averaged roughly 75% over the period. The 17% return of the fund’s holdings in Japan was bolstered by stronger results in Australia and Singapore, and more modest returns from Hong Kong. The fund’s top-performing sectors included health care, information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary. Financials, by virtue of their heavy weighting in the fund, made the largest contribution to the fund’s overall return.
The Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund’s Investor Shares delivered a 32.6% return, courtesy of excellent results throughout developing economies. (In August, Vanguard

changed the fund’s benchmark to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index from the Select Emerging Markets Index in response to diminished concerns about illiquidity, capital controls, and entry barriers in some emerging markets. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index currently includes 25 countries.) Stocks in Korea, Mexico, Brazil, China, Taiwan, and India provided the most significant contributions to the fund’s results for the 12 months.
Fund holdings in China (roughly 10% of assets, on average) and India (roughly 6% of assets, on average) posted impressive returns of about 60% and 65%, respectively. Central and South American nations, including Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Mexico, also delivered stellar returns. Standout sectors included industrials, financials, telecommunication services, and energy.

The Total International Stock Index Fund, the Developed Markets Index Fund, and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund are “funds of funds” that hold other Vanguard index funds; as such, their returns are a composite of results from different regions. The Total International Stock Index Fund—which holds market-based weightings in European, Pacific, and emerging-markets securities—returned 27.8% in the 12 months. The Developed Markets Index Fund and the Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund, which include only European and Pacific markets, returned 27.3% and 27.4%, respectively, for the period.
Fair-value pricing explains shortfalls for three funds
In nearly all cases, the returns of the funds closely tracked those of their target indexes for the period. The exceptions were the
Pacific Stock Index Fund and the Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, as well as the Total International Fund (which holds shares of both funds). These funds’ Investor Shares underperformed their benchmarks by 0.8, 0.7, and 0.5 percentage point, respectively. These gaps were not a failure to track the benchmark, but largely a result of fair-value pricing.
Fair-value pricing allows the funds to calculate their net asset values based on real-time developments not reflected in closing market prices overseas. When fair-value pricing is used at the open or close of a reporting period, as it was for these three funds, it may cause a seeming divergence between the return of the fund and that of the index. This discrepancy corrects itself when market prices reflect fair value, usually the next day.

The funds’ long-term results are respectable
As the table on page 8 shows, the majority of the Vanguard International Stock Index Funds surpassed the average annual returns of their respective peer groups since inception or for the ten years ended October 31, 2006. The exceptions were the Pacific and Emerging Markets Index Funds, both of which trailed their peer-group averages by 0.7 percentage point.
We’re confident that the disciplined execution of the funds’ indexing mandates, the product of the experts in Vanguard’s Quantitative Equity Group, will help the funds continue to capture as much of the returns of their benchmark indexes as possible. Furthermore, our extremely low costs ensure that more of the funds’ returns are cycled back to you, the investor.
The virtues of investing abroad
As investors have learned over the years, the stock and bond markets can harbor many uncertainties. There is no way to know what will happen year by year, much less day to day. That’s why Vanguard suggests that the best way to prepare for long-term investing is to select an appropriate, diversified mix of stock, bond, and money market mutual funds that fits your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance.
As part of the stock portion of a balanced portfolio, a strategic commitment of assets to a broad-based international stock fund can permit you to share in developments of markets outside the United States. By combining diversified U.S. stock funds with international stock funds and more conservative bond and money market funds, you can insulate your portfolio against the occasional downturns that are likely to affect a given asset class, while positioning the portfolio to benefit from periods of strength in another asset class.
The International Stock Index Funds, which give you the option to either invest in a particular region or in a market-weighted combination, can add diversification to your portfolio and help you along the road to your long-term investing goals.
Thank you for your ongoing confidence in Vanguard.
Sincerely,
John J. Brennan
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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 www.vanguard.com.) Note, too, that both investment returns and principal value can fluctuate widely, so an investor’s shares, when sold, could be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the sale of fund shares.

European Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard European Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard International Equity Index Funds. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares (formerly known as VIPER Shares). Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares were first issued on October 6, 2006. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the valuation date as employed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the calculation of its indexes. As part of the funds’ fair-value procedures, exchange rates may be adjusted if they change significantly before the fund’s pricing time but after the time at which the MSCI rates are determined (generally 11:00 a.m., Eastern time).
Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the asset or liability is settled in cash, when they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
31
European Stock Index Fund
3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The fund also may enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.
Futures and forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At October 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $2,257,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 2.26% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized net foreign currency gains of $3,833,000, which increased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized gains on sales of passive foreign investment companies of $380,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2006, was $17,126,000, of which $8,850,000 has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized $204,989,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had $588,557,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $75,315,000 to offset future net capital gains of $30,493,000 through October 31, 2010, and $44,822,000 through October 31, 2011.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $16,441,692,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $6,940,061,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $7,221,655,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $281,594,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

The fund had net unrealized foreign currency gains of $278,000, resulting from the translation of other assets and liabilities at October 31, 2006.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund purchased $6,223,193,000 of investment securities and sold $1,315,092,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.
E. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at October 31, 2006, was $909,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $925,000.

G. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Pacific Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard International Equity Index Funds. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers five classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Signal Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares (formerly known as VIPER Shares). Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. Signal Shares are designed for institutional investors who meet certain administrative, servicing and account-size criteria. The fund has not issued any Signal Shares through October 31, 2006. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, are valued at their fair values calculated according to procedures adopted by the board of trustees. These procedures include obtaining quotations from an independent pricing service, monitoring news to identify significant market- or security-specific events, and evaluating changes in the values of foreign market proxies (for example, ADRs, futures contracts, or exchange-traded funds), between the time the foreign markets close and the fund’s pricing time. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Investments in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund are valued at that fund’s net asset value. Temporary cash investments acquired over 60 days to maturity are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the valuation date as employed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the calculation of its indexes. As part of the fund’s fair-value procedures, exchange rates may be adjusted if they change significantly before the fund’s pricing time but after the time at which the MSCI rates are determined (generally 11:00 a.m., Eastern time).
Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the asset or liability is settled in cash, when they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
53
Pacific Stock Index Fund
3. Futures and Forward Currency Contracts: The fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity, and minimizing transaction costs. The fund may purchase futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market, or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating a fully invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The fund may seek to enhance returns by using futures contracts instead of the underlying securities when futures are believed to be priced more attractively than the underlying securities. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between changes in market values of stocks held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
The fund also may enter into forward currency contracts to provide the appropriate currency exposure related to any open futures contracts. The fund’s risks in using these contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.
Futures and forward currency contracts are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the Statement of Net Assets. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At October 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $1,131,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.13% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $1,149,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly, such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $10,491,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation on the fund’s passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2006, was $104,173,000, of which $31,751,000 has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net investment income.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized $322,401,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had $239,663,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $93,776,000 to offset future net capital gains of $15,971,000 through October 31, 2009, $68,660,000 through October 31, 2010, $4,471,000 through October 31, 2011, and $4,674,000 through October 31, 2013.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $9,753,033,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,992,230,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $2,326,108,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $333,878,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.

G. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard International Equity Index Funds. The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, which may subject it to investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations. The fund offers four classes of shares: Investor Shares, Admiral Shares, Institutional Shares, and ETF Shares (formerly known as VIPER Shares). Investor Shares are available to any investor who meets the fund’s minimum purchase requirements. Admiral Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative, servicing, tenure, and account-size criteria. Admiral Shares were first issued on June 23, 2006. Institutional Shares are designed for investors who meet certain administrative and servicing criteria and invest a minimum of $5 million. ETF Shares are listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange; they can be purchased and sold through a broker.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The 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 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades; such securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring before the 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.
2. Foreign Currency: Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the valuation date as employed by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the calculation of its indexes. As part of the fund’s fair-value procedures, exchange rates may be adjusted if they change significantly before the fund’s pricing time but after the time at which the MSCI rates are determined (generally 11:00 a.m., Eastern time).
Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities include the effects of changes in exchange rates since the securities were purchased, combined with the effects of changes in security prices. Fluctuations in the value of other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) until the asset or liability is settled in cash, when they are recorded as realized foreign currency gains (losses).
83
Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
3. Swap Contracts: The fund has entered into equity swap contracts to earn the total return on selected stocks in the fund’s target index, when investing through a swap provides a return advantage over buying the individual stocks. Under the terms of each swap, the fund receives the total return (either receiving the increase or paying the decrease) on a reference stock, applied to a notional amount that is the value of a designated number of shares of the stock at the beginning of the swap. The fund agrees to pay the counterparty a floating rate that is reset periodically based on short-term interest rates, less a specified interest rate spread, applied to the notional amount. The primary risks associated with the swaps are that a counterparty will default on its obligation to pay net amounts due to the fund, or that the fund will incur fees in the event it terminates a swap prior to the scheduled termination date.
The notional amounts of swap contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Swaps are valued daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time realized gain (loss) is recorded.
4. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
5. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
6. Security Lending: The fund may lend its securities to qualified institutional borrowers to earn additional income. Security loans are required to be secured at all times by collateral at least equal to the market value of securities loaned. The fund invests cash collateral received in Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund, and records a liability for the return of the collateral, during the period the securities are on loan. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan.
7. Other: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income includes income distributions received from Vanguard Market Liquidity Fund and is accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Fees assessed on capital share transactions are credited to paid-in capital.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets and earnings, except that each class separately bears certain class-specific expenses related to maintenance of shareholder accounts (included in Management and Administrative expenses) and shareholder reporting. Marketing and distribution expenses are allocated to each class of shares based on a method approved by the board of trustees. Income, other non-class-specific expenses, and gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
B. The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of such services are allocated to the fund under methods approved by the board of trustees. The fund has committed to provide up to 0.40% of its net assets in capital contributions to Vanguard. At October 31, 2006, the fund had contributed capital of $1,048,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets), representing 0.01% of the fund’s net assets and 1.05% of Vanguard’s capitalization. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
84
Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
C. The fund’s custodian bank has agreed to reduce its fees when the fund maintains cash on deposit in the non-interest-bearing custody account. For the year ended October 31, 2006, custodian fee offset arrangements reduced the fund’s expenses by $152,000.
D. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized $26,212,000 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions—in which shareholders exchanged fund shares for securities held by the fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the fund, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gains to paid-in capital.
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized net foreign currency losses of $4,504,000, which decreased distributable net income for tax purposes; accordingly such losses have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. The fund’s realized gains (losses) for the year ended October 31, 2006, include realized gains on swaps of $228,000 and taxes paid on realized capital gains on Indian securities of ($242,000), which are treated as increases (decreases) to taxable income; accordingly these amounts have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed income.
Certain of the fund’s investments are in securities considered to be “passive foreign investment companies,” for which any unrealized appreciation and/or realized gains are required to be included in distributable net income for tax purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund realized gains on the sale of passive foreign investment companies of $12,000, which have been included in current and prior periods’ taxable income; accordingly, such gains have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to undistributed net investment income. Unrealized appreciation on passive foreign investment company holdings at October 31, 2006, was $5,764,000, of which $1,565,000 has been distributed and is reflected in the balance of undistributed net income.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had $191,048,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had available realized losses of $341,021,000 to offset future net capital gains of $73,850,000 through October 31, 2007, $64,992,000 through October 31, 2010, $12,244,000 through October 31, 2011, $22,603,000 through October 31, 2012, and $167,332,000 through October 31, 2014.

At October 31, 2006, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $7,465,814,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $3,394,127,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $3,597,455,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $203,328,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
At October 31, 2006, the fund had the following open swap contracts with Citigroup Global Markets as counterparty:

F. The market value of securities on loan to broker-dealers at October 31, 2006, was $38,047,000, for which the fund received cash collateral of $39,999,000.

H. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Total International Stock Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard STAR® Funds. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2006, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had $2,958,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $49,989,000 to offset future net capital gains of $6,119,000 through October 31, 2009, and $43,870,000 through October 31, 2010.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $12,860,710,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $5,341,787,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $5,341,822,000 on securities that had risen in value since their purchase and $35,000 in unrealized losses on securities that had fallen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund purchased $3,939,507,000 of investment securities and sold
$309,213,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Shares Outstanding | 236,663 | 203,045 |
F. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard STAR Funds. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2006, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had $1,001,000 of ordinary income and $18,000 of long-term capital gains available for distribution.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $1,800,510,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $771,331,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund purchased $694,594,000 of investment securities and sold $186,854,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company, or mutual fund. The fund files reports with the SEC under the company name Vanguard STAR Funds. The fund seeks to match the performance of its target index by investing in the European and Pacific Stock Index Funds. The fund’s indirect investments in foreign securities involve investment risks not normally associated with investing in securities of U.S. corporations.
A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles for U.S. mutual funds. The fund consistently follows such policies in preparing its financial statements.
1. Valuation: Investments are valued at the net asset value of each underlying Vanguard fund determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
3. Distributions: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
4. Other: Income and capital gain distributions received are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold.
B. Under a service agreement, The Vanguard Group furnishes corporate management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services to the fund. The service agreement provides that Vanguard will reimburse the fund’s expenses to the extent of savings in administrative and marketing costs realized by Vanguard in the operation of the fund. Accordingly, all expenses incurred by the fund during the year ended October 31, 2006, were reimbursed by Vanguard. The fund’s trustees and officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.
C. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
For tax purposes, at October 31, 2006, the fund had $1,006,000 of ordinary income available for distribution. The fund had available realized losses of $8,789,000 to offset future net capital gains through October 31, 2011.
At October 31, 2006, the cost of investment securities for tax purposes was $2,779,805,000. Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities for tax purposes was $828,829,000, consisting entirely of unrealized gains on securities that had risen in value since their purchase.
D. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the fund purchased $1,681,816,000 of investment securities and sold $348,509,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

F. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in financial statements. FIN 48 will be effective for the fund’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2007. Management is in the process of analyzing the fund’s tax positions for purposes of implementing FIN 48; based on the analysis completed to date, management does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will result in any material impact to the fund’s financial statements.

To the Trustees of International Equity Index Funds and the Shareholders of Vanguard European Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vanguard European Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund, Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund and Vanguard Institutional Developed Markets Index Fund (separate portfolios of Vanguard International Equity Index Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2006, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and by agreement to the underlying ownership records for the Vanguard Funds, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Your Fund’s After-Tax Returns
This table presents returns for your fund both before and after taxes. The after-tax returns are shown in two ways: (1) assuming that an investor owned the fund during the entire period and paid taxes on the fund’s distributions, and (2) assuming that an investor paid taxes on the fund’s distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period.
Calculations are based on the highest individual federal income tax and capital gains tax rates in effect at the times of the distributions and the hypothetical sales. State and local taxes were not considered. After-tax returns reflect any qualified dividend income, using actual prior-year figures and estimates for 2006. (In the example, returns after the sale of fund shares may be higher than those assuming no sale. This occurs when the sale would have produced a capital loss. The calculation assumes that the investor received a tax deduction for the loss.)
The table shows returns for Investor Shares only; returns for other share classes will differ. Please note that your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Also note that if you own the fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information does not apply to you. Such accounts are not subject to current taxes.
Finally, keep in mind that a fund’s performance—whether before or after taxes—does not guarantee future results.

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

1 This table does not include data for funds or share classes of funds with fewer than six months of history.
2 The calculations are based on expenses incurred in the most recent six-month period. Annualized six-month expense ratios for the
European, Pacific, and Emerging Markets funds are as follows: European Stock Index Fund—0.27% for Investor Shares, 0.17% for Admiral Shares, 0.12% for Institutional Shares, and 0.18% for ETF Shares; Pacific Stock Index Fund—0.27% for Investor Shares. 0.17% for Admiral Shares, 0.12% for Institutional Shares, and 0.18% for ETF Shares; Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund—0.41% for Investor Shares, 0.25% for Institutional Shares, and 0.30% for ETF Shares. The other funds’ annualized acquired fund fees and expenses as of October 31, 2006, were (in top-to-bottom order as listed above) 0.31%, 0.27%, and 0.12%. The dollar amounts shown as “Expenses Paid” are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent 6-month period, then divided by the number of days in the most recent 12-month period.
3 Calculations reflect the fund’s 0.5% purchase fee, which is deducted from all purchases (including exchanges from other Vanguard funds) but not from reinvested dividends and capital gains.

Glossary
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Funds that invest in other Vanguard funds incur no direct expenses, but they do bear proportionate shares of the operating, administrative, and advisory expenses of the underlying funds, and they must pay any fees charged by those funds. The figure for acquired fund fees and expenses represents a weighted average of these underlying costs. Acquired is a term that the Securities and Exchange Commission applies to any mutual fund whose shares are owned by another fund.
Beta. A measure of the magnitude of a fund’s past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of a given market index. The index is assigned a beta of 1.00. Compared with a given index, a fund with a beta of 1.20 typically would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the index rose or fell by 10%. A fund’s beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared (see definition below). The lower the R-squared, the less correlation there is between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta is as an indicator of volatility.
Expense Ratio. The percentage of a fund’s average net assets used to pay its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce returns to investors.
R-Squared. A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
Short-Term Reserves. The percentage of a fund invested in highly liquid, short-term securities that can be readily converted to cash.
Turnover Rate. An indication of the fund’s trading activity. Funds with high turnover rates incur higher transaction costs and may be more likely to distribute capital gains (which may be taxable to investors). The turnover rate excludes in-kind transactions, which have minimal impact on costs.

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